t-41The Rutland Courier of this week, we
presume in anticipation of the action of the
State Convention to be held in this place on
Wednesday, places at the head Of the column
+" Union State Ticket" as follows: " For
Governor, Frederick Holbfook Of Brattlebo-
ro; for Lieut.. Governor, Paul Dillingham; OF
Waterbury; for Treasurer, John b. Page OF
Rutland" Then follows the County Ticket
recently agreed upon by the two Conventions
at Rutland The Courier hopes that the
State Convention will adopt its Ticket; but
in consideration OF the fact that "the Repub-
licans of this county have accepted a Demo-
crat for Senator it is "perfactly satisfied
with the County Ticket" and "in return
shall support two Of their (the Republican,
candidates for State Officers" This is what
we call showing ones patriotism for con-
sideranon. But inasmuch as the Courier s
candidate for Lieut. Governor stands not the

eouiess that the consideration is very small

POOR VERMONT.

The correspondent Of the Rutland Herald
states that our Governor has contracted with
manufacturers in Concord, n H., for wagons
and ambulances for the Second and Third
Regiments. Does the Governor know that
we have carriage factories in Vermont equal
to those in any other State, that would be
only too happy to have the work Of the State
to do II seems that all our money is being
drawn from Us to do what can be as well or
better done at home. We are happy to in
form our excellent chief magistrate, that there
are carriage and wagon manufactures in this
State. There are two in this town, and if the
Governor should apply to J. w Clark or A. S.
Camp, he would learn something Of which he
appears to be ignorant. There are towns all
over the State which have carriage makers,
who do the best sort Of work. why are
they not called upon. when il would benefit
them and the community so much Perhaps
the Governor will call upon some other State
10 make Colonel for the Third Regiment !
What pity it is, that our manufacturers
can make our own war carriages, and our
citizens can't furnish a single officer Of so high
grade as Colonel Poor Vermont The
descendants Of the Aliens, the Strongs. the
Bradleys and the Sargents, have to march in
to battle clothed with foreign shoddy, officer
ed by foreign colonies, armed with foreign
equipments, their baggage borne in foreign
wagons drawn by foreign horses, and their
sick and wounded carried in foreign ambulance
es fitted with foreign mattresses Alas for
Vermont, when her rulers think she can fur
nish nothing but naked privates and subordi-
nate officers.

M@s r.. Hyatt and pomeroy have issued
the following address in behalf of the suf
f..e.. il Kansas. Ii : dated at Atchison,
FvA. 3,b.
Starvation in Kansas with frighttul pros
poets; but one step between $4,000 people
and death; al appeal 10 the press Of the
country, 10 the churches, TO Congress, to
State Legislatures, TO philsrthropi-ts to
the humane everywhere; prompt action by
the country or a miracle from God can
alone save this peaple; the famine, like =
vortex, draws to its fIightIul centre all
conditions; they who had food yesterday
have none to day; they who have food to-
day have none for tomorrow.
Seventy teams arrived yesterday Fifty
were loaded and sent away the day before.
Ten thousand dollars worth of clothiL g
have been distributed within the past
week; $1,000 cash within four days have
been paid for freights; eighty car loads of
provisions have arrived within that time,
and yet starvation is imminent. The PEG
pie are living from hand to mouth, but
barely saved alive Our funds are now ex-
hausted The numbers Of the destitute
increase fearfully. The melting SHOWS of
February and the oyerl.owing streams
must SBcI.iE prevent tHc DISTANT sufferers
frcin coming here to get supplies.
Their salvation depends upon our
promptness in establishing depots of pro
visions at accessible points. Without
funds the whole work must cease. The
intermission of week is death and desc
lation. Unless the country gives Us seed
there can be no harvest, and the seed
wheat should be in the ground within for
ty days. At least a hundred thousand
dollars is needed for food, and as much
more for seed To the heart of the coun
try and in the lame Of Christ, We make
this earnest appeal
GSicned THADDEUs HYATT,
In behalf of a pershing multitude
endorse every word of the above.
Signed. ). c. PoMERoY,
Chairman Of the Kansas Relief Commit
tee, and General Agent OF Distribution.

disagree as to the proper Interpretation Of
that instrument. Nothing is more fallible
than human judgment, and the North may
be wrong. Let us, therefore get together
in spirit of mutual concession, and see if
an Interpretation cannot be agreed upon
satisfactory to both sides If this cannot
be done, let there be q convention of the
States, and the constitution amended or a
new one formed. IL the convention can
not do this, let them then arrange Tor the
peaceajlo withdrawal Of such States rs IN

rest.

argued upon with the seeding States
then would come the time TO talk abou
war, and not till then. The north would

Such, or something ike it, is the demo
