This staple is Il necessity for the manuactu-

shipped to the consuming markets, and drawn
aranst through the bankers of New York to
the extent of>tilty dollars per bale, or two hun

exports to the Southern markets. This Nor

diminished, the South will call upon our ban

Such call as this would drain every Northern

THE VOICE OF VERMONT.

With the exception of Lamoillo County,
whose ticket viii be presented next week,
we give a full list of the Republican candi-
dates for county officers. OF course, every
Republican county ticket will be elected.
Nothiug short Of the grossest negligence can
prevent the success of any candidate. Our
danger lies simply in our superintendent
strength. Let no man neglect attendance at
the polls because attendance is unnecessary
for success. Success is not all we want.
We want the voice of the State the clear,
loud, trumpet-voice Of good old Vermont.
Let it ring out like the piercing blast of the
war-trumpet, sending terror to every foe and
lending courage to every friend. Let it ring
from the North to the South, from the East
TO the West let it ring out the verdict Of
the freest, the most Independent, aud the
most intelligent body OF freeman to be found
in the length and breadth Of the nation.
That is the position of Vermont. Green
Mountain boys forget not your privileges,
your influence, the electfying power Of your
decision. Everybody knows what it will be
but lei It come with new mphasis--strong-
err. louder, clearer than ever before.

Ex-Governor Wise of Virginia is a Brock
inridge man, albeit he will not brook dis
union, nor swear fealty to l}reckinridge's plat
form. Wise is Independent, fearless, and
reckless so he tells the truth occasionally
no matter how unpaatablc it may be to his
party. We have notable instance of this
in a letter of Gov. Wise to Democratic club
of New York The letter is dated Aug 2,
1860: so it is fresh. After setting forth the
monstrous doctrine of the duty of Congress
to protect slavery in Federal territory, he ut
tiers some very plain truths in respect to the
Douglas plan of leaving slavery to the care
of the Federal Supreme Court. His views
are worthy of the attention Of the Democrats
particularly Here they are
n the Legislative Department Congress, and the Ex
rcutiye Department, the President, which is tina
the laws faithfully executed both to ignore In
