The abe We declaration being established by the
testimony of hundreds Of the hest judges in the

enterprise ut home, where it is sure to react bene-
iicially upon yourself and others
All of which ! respectfully submit to your can

Words Fifty Spoken.

The New York Evening Post has broken
ground on the Presidential question, with so
much sound sense. good discretion, and wise
judgment that we copy the concluding part
of its remarks with much satisfaction. After
discussing the ends and aims of the Repub
lican party.it proceeds to say that it sought
to select its Presidential candidate from among
its own men, and not 20 outside of It's own
ranks under any consideration whatever. If
those opponents of the Administration who
have no stable organization of their own are
IN earnest in what they profess, they will
have no difficulty in voting for such men as
we can present. But if they insist npon our
taking their men as the sole condition Of their
votes, it will show that they are not sincere
in their cooperation, but in fact had rather
see the Democratic party succeed than allow
a truly Republican Administration. To Sc
lect our candidates from among those who
labored so earnestly to defeat US in 1856,
would be degrading as well as suicidal. If
we are willing to have man who stands up
on the same ground with Fillmore. how can
we Justify ourselves for not having voted for
Fillmore the last time? But, indeed, if we
are willing TO take such man now, we had
best, by all means take Fillmore himself,
with his prestige of experience and statesman
like knowledge and habits
But no real Republican is willing to take
the back track now, when the tide of public
feeling against the Slave Power is so much
higher than it ever was before. If the outsiders
will vote with US for our men, give them all
due credit and let them have for their reward
the blessings Of a renovated Government and
a country rescued from dishOnor IF they
will not do this, they might better defeat us
in the election than destroy US after 1t, which
they would be sure to do if we give the power
into the hands Of their men,
"With such men as Seward and Chase,
Banks and Lincoln, and Others in plenty, let
us have two Republicans, representative men,
to vote for. Let US have candidates, first of
all, who will unite and consolidate our own
ranks, and prepare US for further service.
Better come out Of the campaign as we did
last time united and consolidated, and full of
confidence and resolution, though defeated,
than to win a nominal victory, which shall
leave the power in the hands of those who
have no sympathy with us, and ourselves dis
heartened and demOralised -

An ELEGANT CLOTHING STORE. - Our

ing his boundaries, and re-arranging his in
terror, and has now, beyond a doubt. the
largest and handsnmest clothing store in
vermont 1t has now front of about
70 rty feet, in Bank block, with two large
show windows, between which is a spacious
recessed entrance way-forming an exceed
ingly tasteful and elegant front. The large
sales-room is the principal feature with
in, handsomely fitted up, with skylight
room for tne display of cloths in the custom
department, in the rear, and rooms at the
sides for the accommodation of customers
who wish to try on garments. All is light,
(for Turk goods need no twilight to make
them saleable,) airy and spacious as posi-
ble, and Will afford, for the present at least,
ample accommodations for Mr. Turk large
and growing trade. The work has been
done by Messrs. S. & W. Pattee, with their
proyerbial thoroughness and good taste, and
the whole thing is creditable to all concerned.
