The Vermont Election.

1t plcases us to see how jubilant the
Republican press grows over the result
of the election in Vermont. To hear
it shout and hurrah over this suspicious
event, would lead person who had
just arrived in this country from foreign
parts, to believe that heretofore the little
Green Mountain State had previously
gone Democratic by thousands major
ity. We are pleased to see the Repub-
licans feeling SO glorified and jubilant
about the mstter-it only shows that
they are catching at straws, and does
not indicate the success of the Republi-
can nominee for President in any par
ticnlar.
We would recommend that the Re
publicans here set apart some day next
week upon which to celebrate their vic
tory in Vermont. A great deal of
enthusiasm could possibly be raised
over it.

II u plaia TO b sssathss the Democra-
cy efthisplace have had infused into their
veins new life and animation, and that
instead Of responding At the large ma
jority which stands on the record against
them, they are preparing for the fight
with greater zeal and more determine
ton than ever before. The principal
reason why the party here sustained
such loss, was because Of its inactivity,
and if victory is won back, it must be
done through active exertions on the
part of every man who adheres to the
time-honored principles Of Democracy,
and has AZ abiding faith in Democratic
doctrines. 1t il not to be supposed that
we can overcome the entire Republican
majority this year, but what We can do
And what must be done, is to reduce
that majority considerably. In order to
co this the most thorough and complete
organization must be formed, not only in
this city, but in every district and every
township in the county. In the city this
work sis now going on, and we be-
lieve that our country friends should
also come forth and do their
duty in this respect. Let the
Democracy 90 into the formation OF
clubs without delay, and bring out their
entire forces. Eternal vigilance is as
much the price of freedom now as it was
in olden time, and should be practiced
by every good Democrat. Form your
Clubs, erect your hickory poles, ano
hang out your banners: Let every man
of you awake to duty.
