in New York that the Inconvenience is felt.
The stranger who arrives at the depot in New
York from Hartford, Springfield, Brattleboro,
or other points in New England and Canada,
by the New York and New Haven road, and
who wishes to pass on Immediately to the south,
is set down without any explanation as where
he is to go, or what he is to do. Nor can he
learn where to acquire information on the sub
ject. The connecting point TO the railroad for
Philadelphia is SOM three miles off, and he, or
she, may find it out and get there the best way
he or she can. 1t is evidently nobody's bust
ness in New York to get one there unless paid
about half what a ticket costs from Springfield.
The Inconvenience is discreditable to the city
of New York; and if it is not the city's bust
ness to attend to it, we would like to know
whose it is.

Although these results are truly gratifying
to thousands of the opponents of Republican,
ism as well as to the Republicans themselves,
yet nevertheless it must he confessed, that in a
case where a principle of the first importance
to free and popular government was so clearlye x-
posed, the large minority vote is far from being
satisfactory, and augurs but i'll for the perpctuity
Of free institutions in our country. That so
large a vote is cast in support of IL party that
has SO openly allied itself with corruption and
depravity, speaks very unfavorably of the pop
ular appreciation of those virtues upon the hab-
itual practice of which our popular government
can alone depend.
We have gained a great success, it is true,
but it is at the expense of some of the vital en-
ergies of the body-politic. We have had to
pay for this success by the tacit admission here
after, of the foreign vote; and that vote is not
sufficiently well instructed in practical liberty
to decide intelligibly upon those questions of
national policy which the increasing intimacy of
our diplomatic relations with othef countries
will bring home to the action of the sovereign
people. The question of allowing foreigners to
vote among us can no longer be agitated for we
have become so much exhausted By that cancer
GUS disease of slavery, that we have no longer
strength enough left to undergo another opera
ton, like that of excising the foreign influence
of foreign voters. The settlement of this ques-
ton which might have been made fifteen years
ago, is no longer possible now. Such is one
of the evils that have been cntailcd upon us BY
the persisting of the South in burdening free
institutions with the malign and extraneous in
fueuces of slavery.
In another point of view however, it is con-
SOLITARY to find that this large minority vote is
chiefly confined to the slave-region of the Uni
ted States, where the u~nfitness of the people by
themselves for republican institutions is mani
fest, deriving, as they do, the only liberty and
independence which they possess from the free
states with which they are connected. All the
votes, moreover, which are cast for Bell, may
be regarded as opposed to democratic corrup-
ton, and in favor of sound and wholesome
measures of government, suitable to our digni-
ty, our condition and our wants. Virginia in
voting for an old wing, may be considered as
having renowned her old and ruinous policy
as advocated by Calhoun, Richie, Mason, Wise
and many other such Junius Bruises and Ca
ius Graecuses of the past generation, and re-
turned to that other system which she so un-
fortunately discarded when she resolved TO
strike off into the mazes and quag-mires of
democracy thirty years ago.

RAILROADS BEHIND THE TIMES

The N. Y. Times of the 30th of October
takes up the subject Of the defective manage
ment of our American railways. 1t says that
railway managers never introduce improve
ments, because they do not know what TO in
troduce although there are Il dozen engineer
ing periodicals among us which point out the
most recent railway Improvements as they are
developed. Steel tires and axles which have
never been known to break the sandwich sys-
TEN of railroad track, with which a broken rail
cannot throw off a train, and which have been
known abroad for seven years,-thcse and other
useful inventions are not adopted by us.
The article of the Times is an able one, and
should claim the attention of all railroad man.
ayers, as well as of the community at large.
Where competition is shut out, there cannot be
too much care taken to see that the public in
terests are preserved and kept up even with
the wants and Improvements of the age.
But now that the Times has its hand in, we
would ask it to explain to its New England
readers, how it is that so few facilities are fur
nished in the city of New York to travellers
going south from New England, in the way of
transferring from one railroad to another. The
connection between the Harlem and the New
Jersey railroads is awkward and shiftless in the
extreme is far behind the usual facilities of
railroad travelling in the Northern states, and
looks precisely as if it were one'of those tricks
which in the early days of railroad travelling
were designed for stopping travellers to get
SOM of theit custom and money. There is no
delay. trouble or hesitation in transferring pas
Sengers and baggage from one railroad to an
other in Philadelphia and Baltimore; it is only

increase the endowments of professorships If
they would patronize the institutions Of their
wi State, and instead Of sending their sons TO
other colleges, send them here or to Burlington,
we should have in successful operation in our
State two colleges, fitting young men to fill our
highest positions of trust and responsibility, and
our system of education would be rendered
strong and permanent. Brattleboro has seldom
sent her sons to Middlebury. Since my re-
membrance only two from that town have gra-
duated here one last year and one the year be-
fore; while quite a large number have gone to
Williams, Dartmouth and Yale. Windham
County has sent and is still sending quite a re-
spectacle number. Last year there were fifteen
from that county, this year thirteen. When
the people of Vermont shall give as literally as
they are able and will send their sons to an in
%stitution belonging to their own State, then will
they have a College equalling in prosperity
Yale and Harvard, and not till then ought they
to expect it; and not till then can they expect
their other institutions of learning to attain any
great degree of prosperity. C. C. II.

JOKING VICE STArEsMANsHIP.-George San
ders says that his offer of the Vice-Presidency
to MIR. fancey was a joke. One of the chief
objections that we have to the Democracy is.
that it is hard to tell whether all their measures
are not intended as jokes; for it is difficult to
perceive much sense in them. The Slaveocracy
has proceeded upon this principle for a long
time, namely, of standing ready to turn every
measure into a joke if it fails to pass in earnest,
"a sublime mode of procedure which would
better suit the circus clown than men swaying
the destinies of a Nation. There could be no
greater joke played off upon a self governing
people than that a mau of the character of
George Sanders should be supposed to offer the
Vice-Presidency to any body.

THE ELECTION.

Some of the people of our village were up all
night after the day of election, awaiting tele-
graphic dispatches of the results. These dis
patches were received from the hands OF Mr..
CAPEN, the operator, and announced by Cen
eral Kellogg at the Brattleboro Housa to a
large and highly-we me may say deeply graf
flied audience. But before daylight there
proved to be persons of sufficient malice, little
ness or foolish mischief to cut the Geographic
wires; which was doue, it is said in the vicinity
of this village and of Greenfield.
At length however, carly on the morning of
crowd at CApEN's corner dispatch which read
as follows -
"By the combination of mind, muscle and
lightning, the general result of this Presiden-
tial contest is made known to the people of this
great Republic within ten hours after elcction!!
A feat never before accomplished in any coun-
try !!
The New York papers say in these words =
"ABE LINCOLN Is ELECTED PRESIDENT OF TIE
UNITED STATES"
In truth however, by the combination of
mind and principle the result of the election
was made known to the country long before it
came off. As sure as a telegraphic from China
will one day reach us twelve days before it sets
out, so the success of Lincoln and Republican,
ism reached us long before the figures were put
down and summed up.
As confirmed by subsequent reports these fig
ures, as far as heard from, are as follows -

From the Auditors Report as well as from
the books in the office of the Treasurer. it an
pears that large balances are due the State from
constables in many Of the towns. 1t now turns
out THAT in some of these towns the taxes have been
paid in full, as receipts in the hands of the con-
stables show, but the amounts receipted for do
not appear to have been credited. The Treas
urer had power to borrow money on the credit
of the State to an unlimited extent, by merely
giving his note as Treasurer. Under these cir
cumstances it will be some time before the full
extent of this defalcation will be known. Bot
tom will not have been reached until these notes
come in and the account of every town in the
State is re-adjusted.
Is the State secure? Probably not. The
bonds given last year are Of but little Value
Those of the preceding years are better. If
the defalcation commenced, as is believed, sew
eral years since and eliminated a year or two
SINCE, there is reason to think that the State
may be able to secure a fair proportion of this
unexpected deficit. Where the money has gone
to is more than the public will be likely to know
at present. Probably a large amount has been
sunk in stock spcculations, and in fancy stock
companies; and it is surmised that Mr. Bates is
not the only one on whose account the funds of
the State have been used.
The defaulter decamped last Thursday night
week, probably for Canada. With him has disap-
peared some of the books and papers connected
with the Office, the absence of which will mate
