abraham Lincoln is n much ADLER man than is
generally supposed, even in his own party. In his
canvass with Douglas he beat him in law, beat him in
argument, and beat him in wit; and the Published
debates Of that canvass viii sustain this assertion
William i. Johnston OF Pennsylvania, who
has been disgruntled since his failure for the
REPUBLICAN vice presidential nomination in 1856,
has now announced for Bell. He and Lew
Campbell have hoped off the car just in time
to continue to be left out in cold and as usual.
Their bad luck is in itself strong indication that
Lincoln is to be elected.

COLLEGE STUDENTS on "BENDER"-A company
OF ten or dozen students from Williams College, on
pedestrian excursion from WILLIAMSBURG Mass, to
the White Mountains, arrived in this village last Sat
urday and encamped over the Sabbath. They looked
hale and hearty, much if such SLENDER" was
more provocative of good digestion than some Others
in which college students wont more frequently to
indulge. Economy, health sightseeing and physical
visor are the concomitants of such praiseworthy
movements The attentions shown by some of our
citizens and young men to them seems to have been
appreciated by the company, MS witness the following
which we cheerinly publish in compliance with their
request:

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-A fire occurred at
Gaysville (Stockbridge) Monday morning, which
was the most serious that ever visited that town.
A large factory was burned, two stores, one
dwelling house, dry house, and the bridge cross
ing White River, involving loss of over $780,
900, which, however, is mostly insured The
cause of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
ANOTHER DEFUNcT.-The axe has again
been lifted by the "old public functionary," and
again has it descended severng at one cut the
head of Vermont Postmaster from the official
corpus. Maj. f. NJ. Brown, of the Woodstock
Age is relieved from further care of the Wood
stock post Office, on account of his Douglas
proclivities, and one Hutchinson reigns in his
stead. The loss of Browns head is one that
will be felt by no one but himself, but the les
son it teaches our Vermont Postmasters is one
that we need not enforce.

THE TowNsuEND MAII--The general Post office
Department in fit OF economy, year SINCE cut down
the mail service Oh all the stage routes radating from
Bratteboro, nearly one half. During the past few
weeks the service on the North Adams and Benninr-
ton routes, well that on the route from Bellows
Falls to Townshend have been restored; but on the
most important Of all the routes that from Bratteboro
to Townshend the service remains in its reduced con-
diion. Why this route should remain an exception
Is not easy to Ii it is the score of economy
that the restoration is withheld stronger case could
be made gu, for maintaining the reduction on the
9th lines. Democratic postmssters have lately been
siea from $4,000 to $4,000 apiece without ar
rest, ma it seems to that little economy in the
management Of the big offices and on the big routes
would help the department more and discommode the
people less than this fitul wopenny sort of economy
Fortunately the people have taken this matter in
hand, and are making preparations for general over
hauling of the whole system New arrangements will
be made at Washington on the 4th of March pext.

"MIND YoUh OWN BUSINESS"

Senator Douglas harps upon this string in
his New England Speeches. lie says that it was
the motto of our revolutionary sires, in the face
of aggressive England, and that it was stamped
upon the current coin of the day.
To mind our own business is precisely what
we Republicans intend to do. 1t is our own
business to see that Slavery does not agrees
any farther upon free territory, and we are
going to attend to it faithfully.
The Senator in his old days shows some of
that aristocratic spleen which is apt, like the
cloven hoof with the gentleman in black, ;" to
peep out with democratic leaders of long stand
ing. In one of his recent speeches he says the
business of Mr.. Lincoln has been to "split rails -
whilst his own has been to make bureaus, SecTe-
tarieS and cdbi1,ctS; ana he evidently thinks
that both had better mind their own business.
At all events, he wishes TO continue his, and
would doubtless be much obliged to Mr.. Lincoln
to let him alone
Mr.. Douglas claims to be of the national
party; and while the constitution, (Which is
national, certainly declares that Congress shall
have power to make all needful rules and reg
ulations for the national domain, he. on the
other hand gives this right to a small fraction
of the people. He assumes the position that a
small number of the people, no matter if they
be the emptyings of our prisons, may go to a
puItiun VI inc HdttOHW DOMAIN ana hasten upon
it sectional institution. That is, constitu-
ton and frame of government that were de-
,..In Il
the people, could be perverted to the uses of
slavery, and without altering that constitution
or frame of government Such is his doctrine.
