THANKsGIvING.-What day of vast slaugh-
ter among poultry, was the 2Sth ultimo! And
what a tremendous amount of gormandizing
occurred on the 29th The number of turkeys
slowed away, is even beyond conjectural calcula-
ton. In this region, the dinner part of the holi
day was most scrupulously observed; but as to
the Thanksgiving and praise" there was plen-
tiful lack of it. The day lovely, and business
men concluded the best wayto celebrate it would
be to dispose of as much merchandise as possi-
ble-while the sun shone. That is an economi-
cal, if not devout way of commemorating public
occasions and if such sinners can compound
with their conscience, with the balance in its
favor, perdition may relinquish its grippe upon
their trembling souls. They appeared willing to
incur the risks.

A FULL VOTE IMPORTANT.

The election in Vermont for State officers
from Tuesday. There is of course no sort Of
question about the result. The Republicans
will elect al their State, County and District
nominees by overwhelming majorities, let the
democracy be united or divided as they choose.
Even their divisions will hardly serve to render
the Republican ascendancy more significant, so
ponderous is the Republican element; the only
appreciable effect will be to slightly delay the
sorting and counting of the returns.
The duty of the Republicans of this State
under existing circumstances is TO see to it that
their full vote is thrown for the nominees of
their party. Such vote is not necessary for
their election but it is of great Importance as
an encouragement to Republicans in other
States, where the most vigorous excrtions are
necessary to success. An unusual Republi-
can majority in Vermont will encourage the
Republicans in Maine, and a like increase there
tavorably affect the elections in Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Illinois, Thus with little ex-
ertion an influence can go forth from our own
State which will not be without its effect in
promoting the grand national triumph we be-
lieve in store for the Republican party of the
United States in November next. Let every
Republican Of Vermont then feel it duty in
cumbent on him to give his vote in such a
manner as will best hasten the grand result
we have so much at heart. Vote the entire
Republican Ticket

The PARAGuAYAN Qt1sTIoN.-It must be
exceedingly Notifying to Mr. Buchanan and hi.
cabinet, after having involved the country il
the great expense of the expedition to Paraguay
carrying the matter to the verge of war, to re.
ceive the decision of their own commissioner
that the claims upon which the demand and the
hostile demonstrations upon Paraguay were
made, ARE altogether unfuunLrL. 1t is nov
stated that the truth is found to be that the
company is in reality largely indebted to Para,
quay. If this is so the United States govern
ment is bound in honor to pay or cause to be
paid any proper demand that may be made, in
asmuch as we pushed our supposed claim to the
extremity of war. If our citizens, headed by
United States consul, have committed spolia-
tons on the government of Paraguay, as that
government alleges, the United States govern
ment ought to assume the payment of claims
made on that account.

New YoRK.-The republican state conven-
ton of New York met at Syracuse, on Wcdnes-
day, and was fully attended. James NJ Cook
of Ballston, (ex-comptroller) was made presi-
dent, and the convention at once re-nominated
by reclamation both Gov Morgan and Lieut.
Gov Campbell, with S. II. Barnes of Chenango
for canal commissioner, and Dr. james X. Bates
of Jefferson, for state prison inspector. Will
liam Cullen Bryant of the New York Evening
Post, aud James o. Putnam of Fredonia, were
named electors at large, with 80 district electors.
The resolutions adopted accept the resolutions
of the Chicago convention, ratifying the nonii-
nation of Lincoln and Hamlin, Morgan, ect.-
Speeches were made, &c, when the convention
adjourned sine die. That ticket will be trium-
phan,ly elected.

One of the most gratifying as well as most
significant results of the election just held in

never occupied, save for three months or so to

BIG BLuEBERRIEs AND BLUEBERRIEs IN pARTIC-

big things and "when found make n note ont" Rig
eggs, squashes pumpkins, turnps, bigoxen cows and
pigs, and even bgmen and women (those in whom the
adpose has obtained the mastery over brains) all have
had their turn For the first time, during the past
week, have we met with the record of measurement
of an individual burberry. A correspondent of the
Boston Journdi writing from Princeton, Ms, tells of
BURBERRY measuring inch and seren eighhs in
circumference Another correspondent Of the same
paper writing from Gardner, Ms, thinks the Princeton
bluebery 'must yield to one picked in Ftzwilliam,
N. H., which measured tro and half inches in cir
conference" writer in the Keene Sentinel under
date of "Fitzwiiam, Aug l5th' says one was picked
in that town the circumference of which was orer co
inches The last named writer adds the following in
terestng facts about tho buebcy business in Fitz-
william;
"Is year, berries of all kinds are very abundant,
and have no doubt but there will be over four hun
dred bushels of buebenies picked in this town this
season. Messrs Whttemore & Co. inform me that
they have already bought and sold between two hun
drod and iity and three hundred bushels within the
last three or four weeks and that they will probably
buy from nifty to seyentyfve bushels more this seas

per quart making something over five hundred dollars

LINCOLN IN THE WEsT.-Every day brings
tidings of newspapers and men, heretofore sup
porters of democracy, who have come out for
Lincoln and Hamlin. They are coming into
the Republican ranks by tens, and Scores and
by fifties. In Illinois an entire democratic club

cause of Republicansm. The Washington cor

"Lincoln will sweep everything before him in

prevailed so long that the corn crops, it is believed
will be entirely destroyed The North West has been
visited by the most violent and destructive tornadoes

and extraordinary meeors and uncommonly frequent
displays of the Aurora Dorcalis have excited the pub
lie mind with surprise and filed 1t with new and
wondcrous speculation While the rains in some
quarters have been copous and abundant in Others
and at remote distances there has been prevalence
of drouth. For instance, while we here IN
Windham County have, since the month of July, had
rain enough and to spare in Addison County, on the
other side Of the mountains, everything Is parchcd up
and wthered by drouth and the grass hoppers are SC
thick that they even stop the progress of the railroad
cars by cloying the rails with their fatty ndmanglct
bodies.
But wherever the rains hare fallen, the harvest ap-
pears to be coming in finely. The wheat crop in tho
North West will be grcttcr this year than It has boon
for n long time before; and while the hay and oats
with us have come in WE'LL with even prospects Of =
stout growth of rowcn, the other crops were never

OLD SONG.
The innocent maze and confusion into which
our national affairs have fallen under the pres
ent administration of child-lke simplicity, are
quite interesting and amusing.
A commander of one Of our national vessels,
the North Carolina, has been getting up or
abettng subscription among his crew in favor
of the Pope for sustaining reigning prince
against the right Of the people to revolutionize ;
and hence against a leading principle of our
form of government. This act becomes the
more simple and amusing when it is reflected
that the Pope prohibited the circulation of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin within his dominions, thus in
termeddling in our political affairs and taking
sides with slavery. The Commander of the
North Carolina returns the compliment and
slavery being national OF course,) takes sides
with the Pope. Mr. Marcy distinguished him
self by siding with the people; but the Com
mandcr of the North Carolina has grown wiser
and, though aiding the same democratic cause,
sides with the prince, and one of the most des-
potic princes too, Of Europe. Who would
dream that Nary could be made instrumental
in forwarding the schemes OF slavery?
