VOTE!

There is probably no state in the Union in
which so many voters habitually stay from the
polls as in Vermont and certainly no 9TH
er state in which such indifference is usually
manifested in relation to the state nominations,
as in this. We have not at hand the precise
vote given for the state ticket in former years,
but that pollcl for the presidential candidates
will answer Cor purposes of illustration. In
1852, the total presidential vote Of Vermont
was 1888, and in 1856, it amounted to 50,675.
The vote for state officers in each of these years
was considerably below these figures. In New
Hampshire-a state with about the same num-
Der of inhabitants, and of course with a cor
responding voting population-the vote in 1852,
was $3.50, and in 1856, it reached the great
figure of II 900, or more than 10000 more
votes than were given in Vermont. Again, in
this town the vote for town representative al
most always exceeds the vote for state officers,
and in 1858, this excess was over one hundred
votes.
An apparent cause of this light vote is I'M
doubtedly the certainty of the election of the
anti-democratic candidates. The democrats
have so long been in a hopeless minority that
they regard any exertion for their ticket as time,
money and labor thrown away; so they leave
their state ticket to take care of itself and re-
serve their strength for purely local issues. The
opposition repose in the security their great
strength affords and numbers of them either
stay away from the polls or vote only for those
candidates for whose success they feel a person.
al interest. This supineness has had the effect
for many years of keeping our aggregate vote
far below what it should be. There are at least
G5, 900 voters in Vermont, who can and should
be at the polls every year, and yet in the ex-
citing e! electi9 q. Of +. l sS ;, our state vote was only
Such Indifference is neither just nor wise.
The chief excellency of our government lies in
the simple fact that the people elect their own
rulers and make their W laws. The peo-
pie through whose actions the whole ma
chincry of government is kept in mo-
ton are tn. voters, and every citizen has a di-
rect, personal voice and interest in its move
ment. The mere act of depositing a ballot,
simple as is the process, is at once the most sol
emn duty and browning glory of citizenship.
1t is a duty that should not be avoided and one
which no GOOD citizen will fail to perform.
Confidence in the result is no excuse for not
voting. There is not an intelligent man in the
state who cannot give the outlines of his polit.
ical faith and the reasons upon which it is
based. Can he fail 10 see the moral obligation
resting upon him to give practical force and
efficiency to his beliefP We trust every voter
and especially every Republican voter will moi
excuse himself from doing his whole duty this
year and hereafter.

such n man, who thus Knocked at a portion of Gods
creation, made in the Divine image, should say, "Vote
slavery up or vote 1t down. He knew well that I'M
der his device the settlers could only Vote slavery up,
and that they were not allowed to vote 1t down. But
this speech attcsts his brazen Indifference to hui
man rights. Not so spoke the fathers Of the republic,
who taught us all never to miss an opportunity to vote
slavery down. Not so spoke Washington, who de-
clarcd that to the abolition Of slavery 'hts suffrage
should never be wanting And such is the whole
political philosophy Of this presidential candidate, ex-
cept that a man who is thus Indifferent to the rights
Of n whole race, is naturally indifferent to other things
which make for justice and peace.
Again he cries ont, that the slavery question is in
the way Of public business, and that it must be re-
moved from Congress. But who has thrust it there
so necessarily as himself? Nay, who SO largely us
himself has been the occasion of its discussions But
his complaint illustrates anew the old fable. 1t was

down to the rejection Of Kansas rs n free state at the

the slavery question BY their ncw-fangled auda-
cious theories OF slavery, both morally aud constitu-
tionally, they have aroused n natural opposition and
put all who truly love their country ON the defensive.

GOVERNOR BANKS, REsIeNAr1oN.


A card from Gov. Banks, in which he an
nounced his intention TO retire from the politi-
cal Office which he now fills with so much honor
to himself and credit to the State, appeared i'll
the leading papers Of Massachusetts last week.
The occasion of this movement on the part of
the governor is his acceptance of an appoint
ment as Managing Director Of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company, q corporation having
pccuniary interests to the amount of over $780,
100000. The salary offered is such that no
man who is not already assured of a competency,
and who can discharge the duties appertaining
thereto, would fe at liberty to decline the APP
pointment.
1t is growing more and more difficult here ut
the North to secure the best talent for political
Offices. The moderate salaries paid for public
services, Joined to the fact that but very few OF
our men of talent inherit fortunes, compels
nearly all to acquire sufficient property TO give
them an assured maintenance before they enter
public life. At the South this is different
There property is distributed among compare
lively few persons. The Shareholders generally
are wealthy the great mass Of the population
are either serfs or something nearly as degraded.
From the Shareholders comes the public men,
and their inheritance is such us to obyiatc their
necessity of earning n livelihood. Hence their
acceptance of and continuance in Office imposes
no burthsn upon themselves or families. They
can devote their whole lives to politics and feel
perfectly quiet as to the future. it is this fea-
ture of American life that has done so much to
shape the political Institutions of the United
o.o'es. 1t is tnls winch has ever given the
South the advantage over the North. Their
public men being above the necessities of labor
or business have devoted their lives from their
youth up to politics. Their earliest aspirations
are all made to bend in this direction, and their
latest years finds them in office. From this
cause proceeds the great superiority the slave
power has always been enabled to exercise in
the councils of the nation. From this cause
We find terms of congressional service extend
ing to twenty and even thirty years.
In another column is an article in relation to
this subject which is one of great public inter-
est. We have touched upon the only view
there omitted, but it is one of considerable i'm
portancc. The article referred to is from the
New York Erening Post, and it will richly re-
pay careful perusal.

H~unncwcI's Universal Cough Remedy and

its position.-The introduction Of this great development Of
medical science, was through a six years trial in most obsti-
nate cases usually found among the poor, and made more so
by their poor living. In all the common compounds for
Cough and Lung Complaints, that most fatal Of all to good
results, is the introduction Of three perfect opposites sych as
Opium iPecdc or 1nfimOHy, and a stimuiant as basis, pro-
ducing oHe grand secret. 10 give TO the world a PREPARATION
which you are obliged To caution patients to abstain from,
where nausea or prostration follows, is not only unnatural as
a cure, but is against all mathematical laws Of medicine. IL
you cannot make a common enemyO OF your complaint, and
use a constant enemy to drive 1t out, by a constant applica-
tion, without fear Of nausea or prostration, then your COM
plant will hold its position, and your system is being debili-
tatcd, and the complaint becomes chronic. In the CSIyER-
SAL CouGn REMEDY none q those objections exist, but with
sin one hand n weapon, and in the other a tool,' you drive
out disease, and build up, or sustain, a debilitated constitu-

Att the Massachusetts, Republican Convention,
on Wednesday, Senator Sumner made a capital
speech, in which he reviewed the present as
pect of the slavery question, and the position
of the political parties in reference thereto.
His reply to the many stump speeches of Doug
las during the present canvass is tersely en-
bodied in the following paragraphs clipped from
this able speech;
If you follow Mr.. Douglas in his various speeches,
you cannot fail to be shocked by the heartlessness OF
his language. Never in history has any public man
insulted human nature so boldly. At the North he
announces himself us always for the white man
against the ~niggeri'' but Mt the South he is "for the
niger against the crocodile" 1t was natural that
