BACK AGAIN.-John Wilson, one of
those we mentioned last week as having
broke Jail, has returned again to his old
quarters. He was easily tracked to
Sheldon, where he was arrested by sher-
if Miles and Bean. After they left the
jail, it appears that the prisoners went to
Dodge's, in Sutton, c. E., and there, with
several others engaged in a general
drunk. In the evening Wilson and Flea
ger retired to bed together, but during
the night the latter arose, went to the
barn, picked out Dodge's best horse, put
the collar and bride upon him, and was
Just putting on his harness, when the
owner who had been warned of what was
taking place, appeared before the thief
with lanthern in hand, which put stop
to further proceedings with the horse
and Eleazer suddenly left for parts IN
known, and he has not since been taken

ers. He is miserable whelp, and th'

ANOTHER BREAK.-The Irasburgh
Jail is not the only one in the state that
rogues break out Of At St. Johnsbury
last week, a prisoner left his bed and
board under the following circumstances:
1t appears that a horse thief-whom the
authorities had been at great pains to ar
rest, having followed him as far as the
state of New Jersey-had been confined
in Jail, and was taken sick-so his inno-
cent keeper thought-was sick several
days, and he became so unwell that it was
deemed best by the "good Samaritan
who handles the keys, to remove him to
the house where he could receive better
care. A watcher was procured to soothe
the pains of dying nature. During the
night the invalid was taken with a tre-
mendous pain, severe, excruciating
pain, in the back of his neck, and be
begged his friend to procure him a mus
tard poultice to apply to the part affected.
Watcher obeyed, went down stairs for
the poultice, and he had no sooner struck
the kitchen floor than the invalid struck
the ground, and in his shirt flaps, bare
headed and bare footed, leaped over the
ground for dear liberty, determined tc
shift" for himself His watcher soor
returned with the poultice, but 10, the in

and was therefore returned to
the Senate, but in order TO gain that OBJ
iect, he poured out bis money so lavishly
that II left him in state bordering on
bankruptcy, while Mr.. Lincoln came out
of the canvas with popular majority in
the state of four thousand votes in his
favor, and reputation so high as an ora
tor. as a man of talent, of character, and
as true gentleman, that, more than any
other thing, it has given him the honor
and the right to lead the republicans of
the union to a glorious victory. He is
essentially plebeian, one of the common
people, yet a man of prominent points
and admirable traits of character
Though not man of polished education,
be has sound, practical common sense,
practical statesman, rather than a theo'
retical windy abstractionist. In short,
he is Just such an one as the times and
the republic demand, and the people will
have. We suspect him TO be Caleb Cush-
ing's man on horseback" who is to end
the truncated series of democratic pres
idents." We hope so.
In regard to the Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin of Maine, our candidate for vice pres
ident, we take the following brief extract
! from the Boston Journal
born in Paris, Oxford county, Maine, Au.

member of the Maine Legislature from 1886 tc

Such are the men whom the republi'
cans of Orleans are asked to support
and we have full confidence that not one
of them will falter in the good fight, bu
will come up manfully to the support o
the ticket presented, and show TO tht
people of the state, and the state to the
nation, that Vermont is RICH: and true al
ever to the principles of freedom, anC
that her heart is in the work. She vii

Now, sir, you see by this that the State

J In all other departments OF the Federal
Government, the South has enjoyed the same
aseendency. Il has had seventeen out of the
iwenty-eigLt judges of the Supreme Court:
fourteen out OF the nineteen Attorney Gen
erals; sixty one out of the Seventy-one Pres
idents Of the Senate; twenfv-one out of thir-
ty-three Speakers of the House; and eighty
out of one hundred and thirty -four foreign
ministers.
! The Senate Of the United States consists
OF sixty-six members. representing fifteen
slave States. and eighteen free States; the
free States have a white population of about
eighteen millions. the slave States have a
white population ofabout eight millions The
Senate have twenty-five committees; and in
Harness. the free States ought TO have prspond.
erauce proportional TO their numbers and pow
er. How stands The case in the arrangement
of the Senate at the beginning OF the present
Congress? The chairmsnsbip of sixteen is
given to the slsveholdns members. and the
chairmanship OF the six others to members
who side wi'h them in politics. Not single
committee of any Importance is assigned to
The free States, either in the chairmanship or
Ia the majority of its members. The Repub-
lIcaAs who have twenty five representatives
in the Senate. considerably more than one
third of the whole body. are allowed two
members on each committee of seven Could
anything be more sectional than this?
Now, can any one say that this is altogs.h-
er fair? l believe l am authorized to say
that the pc pie Of the North regard it as un-
Just and invidious discrimination; and because
they have determined TO take these matters
in hand. the South should not get into a rage
and menace IN furious manner n rupture Of
the Federal bands. II is an old maxim that
wisdom is more valuable than rubies;' ard
so think il will not require much observa.
lion and experience, under this change of ad-
to convince the widest oppo-
nent OF the present hour that it works we'll;
that the effects are benefcent. and that the
peace. greatness and glory Of our whole coun-
try are promoted thereby.

4 Chapter OF Errors.

! Chapter oil ErrOfk.
| The Southern Conlelcracy," of Atlanta
Georgia, devoteS two columns and half 10 j
iabored effort TO convict the "Enquircr' Of in.
consistency.
The following is Il sample:
The "Enquircr' uf to day ,leprccules Mr..
douglas l.eoomptor policy, and as one Of the
grounds Of itH opposition Ia his election to the
Presidency, is that he voted against the ad,
mission Of Kansas with pro.slavery Consti-
tuition.
Now if the "Conlcderacy" will point out an
instance in which We have assigned Mr.. Doug.
las Antl.Lecomptnn position MS one ground Or
any grounl at all Of our present opposition to
him, then We will promise tn vote for him or
Bel-or Lincoln.
Our contemporary is SO far in error, that We
have from the first endorsed and tlo now en-.
policy Of Senator Douglas. So earnest were
we on this suhiect--that when We first pur.
chased M interest in the Enquirer" early in
lS5s-wc made it Il condition that the paper
should cease to advocate the Lecompton policy
of the Administrations
Agan-thc "Coniedcracy" charges that we
endorsed, less than year ago, Senator Doug
las territorial vicws-and hence We are now
inconsistent in our opposition to his election.
In evidence of this our contemporary quotes
the following from one OF our editorials Of last
autumn
In his late speech at Springfield, Mr. Doug
las distinctly admits that Congress has no right
to prohibit slavery in the Territories, and hence
the Territorial Legislature have no right 10 do
it. Thus Mr.. Douglas has gone to the full ex-
tent of the doctrine expounded by the Supreme
the President in the Sllliman letter.
With this clear and just appreciation OF the
principles involved, we 10 not doubt thut
Mr. Douglas combines al entire willingness to
recognize and perform whatever patriotic du.
ties this acknowledgment Of principle may die
tate.
Thus, it appears that when We understood
Senator Douglas as renouncing squatter sore-
rcignty and ready to assert the doctrine of
equal protection by The Federal Executive
Congress and Judiciary To slave property in
the Territories, then We endorsed what we I'M
derstool to be his position. Since then, he
has Enthusiastically announced his advocacy Of
sluatter sovereignty and his unyieding oppo-
sition 10 the doctrine Of equal protection.
"Thcrcforc" argues the "Contrdcracy,' "the
Enquirer is surely Inconsistent in refusing to
support Douglas for the Presidency
Admirable logic.
