GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN, AUGUST 80, 1861.
The Election Next Tuesday.

There is little need, we believe, to urge the
voters Of the State who Usually vote the Repub'
lican ticket to give their SURFACES next Tuesday
to Messrs. Holbrook, Underwood and Page, our
excellent candidates fer State Officers, yet we
hope they will sec the propriety Of going to the
polls as usual and giving these gentlemen such a
vote as shall be complimentary to them, and
sla'l strengthen them for the performance Of
the arduous duties that must deyolye upon The
executive officers Of this State for the ensuing
twelve months.
There is, However, an element Of opposition
to this ticket, or part Of it, ofWhich it is proper
to Say u word This opposition derives its main
aid and comfort from former Democrats, or men
who have voted with the Republican party be-
cause it was the majority, and not from any adj
mration Of its measures or its principles. There
are many honest and conscientious Republicans,
unquestionably, who think the country cannot
be saved except by voting for men who were
once Democrats on every ticket that may be put
in the field, and SO will be disposed to vote for
the nondescript State ticket nominated on the
2lst inst, but the large majority of votes which
that ticket will receive viii be strictly parti
IAN Democratic vote. In Washington, Orange,
Caledonia, Orleans and Lamoillo counties, it
will receive the whole Democratic vote with the
exception Of the very few Secessonists that will
vote for the Smalley ticket. We do not com
plain that Democrats should do this, for we
have no objection to their voting for just such
tickets as may be most pleasing to them, but we
should regret to see Republicans voting in the
same way under the mistaken idea that they
were voting q no-party ticket. Let Republic
ans remember that the Convention on the Goth
of June, which nominated Mr.. Holbrook, was
Objectionable in its results to many Republicans
because it abandoned the party organization and
inaugurated Union party, and that Democrats
who acted in the Convention found no fault with
its platform, but objected solely to the candi-
dates. But it has been often enough demonstrate
ed without repeating it here, that the Conyen.
ton could have nominated no other ticket than
the one it did nominate without doing gross in
justice to one or the other of the gentlemen who
were there named. Everything in the Conven-
ton was done fairly and openly, and if Demo-
Gratis do not feel bound by it, we hope Republic
ans, at least, will Let us give that ticket snch
majority next Tuesday as will strengthen the
men whose names are on it for the performance
of the labors that are certain to lie thrown unon
them, while it at the same time proves that the
patriotism of Vermonters cannot be used as a
lever to raise into notice few uneasy, home.
less politicians who are trying to use it for that
purpose.

Coming to their Senses.

The Southern press is beginning to
realize the true condition of affairs at
the North, and manifest very differ,
cnt tone in commenting upon the COM
ing struggle. In fact, they begin to
express alarm at the military uprising
which they have evoked by their
folly. The Mobile Gala. } Mercury of
the 2Sth ult., one of the most violent
promoters of sedition, says:
The last few days has amazed the
Government of the Confederate States,
we imagine, no less than the people
The public mind in the North is in q
Juror, and unit on the present prac-
teal question. Our Northern friends,
it is remembered, were always Union
men." The Union men Of the North
are now practically our enemies as
much as the abolitionsts. Having
failed to seduce us to stay in, or re-
turn to the Union, with their barney
about pcace-to matain the integrity
of the Union by moral suasion-they
are as much inclined to try what vir-
tue there is in stones, as the rabidcst
abolition;st that ever wore a lock of
negro's hair in a golden lockct. Their
voice is for war-thcir money is for
war-they offer their bodies to go to
the field to slaughter us. With all
the imagined peace sentiment which
was hoped to exist to control the war
spirit, we scarcely dare to hope to see
Southern spirit aroused to SO high a
pitch to resist it as the Northern spir-
it is to suhjugatc and force us back
into hateful Union. The power that
is marshaling with men and money to
an amount beyond anything it is pos
siblc for the Confederate States to
command, must be met, not with bragg
CART threats of carrying our flag tri
umphant over their Capitol and
through their country, but with strong
arms and stout hearts upon our own
soil whenever and wherever invaded.
Upon our own soil we can be CON
qucrors.

Ungrateful Norfolk.

In 1855 the scourge of the yellow
fever fell upon the city of Norfolk,
Virginia. Its ravages were terrible,
and aroused the sympathy of the en-
tire country. The resident physicians
all died or fled, and their places were
taken by others of the medical protes'
sion, mostly from New York and
Philadelphia, who exposed themselves
to death without hope of reward. OF
these not less than forty died while
on their mission Of mercy. The graves
of these Northern men lie unrecog
nized and unmarked in that city o
treason, and the men whose lives they
saved are plotting the destruction o
the brothers of their bcncfactors.

FUNERAL SERVICES.


A Baltimore correspondent of 9Th,
Methodist" published in New York
gives the following in reference to tn,
funeral of the Massachusetts soldier.
who fell at Baltimore:
The two strangers were dressed il
the military uniform of the Massachu
sets Volunteer Militia, and were saiC
to belong to the Lowell City Guard
the names of both being unknown tc
the jury. After the jury had perform
ed its painful duty, the bodies of the
soldiers, by order of our excellent
Mayor Brown, were carefully washed
deccntly shrouded, and placed in me,
talic collins.
On Sabbath morning at 9 o'clock,
two hcarscs, accompanied by two
hacks, attended in front of the police
station, where large crowd Of per
sons were soon collected, who behaved
with the utmost propricty and solcmni-
ty. The collins were placed in the
hcarsCs, and the hacks were occupied
by the following persons Hon. Sam
ucl Maccubbin, Comptroller Of the
city Rev. II. Crout, local preacher of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
member Of the City Council Capt. S.
w. Bowen, Central Police station :;
Nathaniel Hall, Esq, Coroner David
Crcamcr, Foreman Of the jury of In
quest ; Samuel Hart, merchant Sam
ucl Kirk of the Chesapeake Bank, and
Rev. Robert Frederick, undertaken.
The funeral proceeded at Il slow
pace to Green Mount Cemetery, where
the collins were placed in the Compa-
ny's vault to await the disposition of
the friends of the deceased, or the
order Of the Governor of Massachu-
sets, who, we understand, has al
ready had some correspondence on the
subject with Mayor Brown. On ar
irving at Green Mount gate, the func-
raj was joined by Rev. Edward Iclf-
nor, Superintendent of the Cemetery,
and by several other persons at the
vault, all of whom, by their respectful
department, cvinccd the deepest inter
est in the services Of the occasion.
The religious services were per-
formed by the Rev. Mr. Crout, in the
most solemn, dcvout and appropriate
manner. They consisted of reading
the Holy Scriptures from St Matthew
56;33-4S on which was founded a
deeply impressive address, followed
by prayer, and concluded by reading
the burial service from the ritual of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. There
was not person present at the fune-
raj OF these two unfortunate men, both
so youthful in appearance, without
friends, suddenly called into the pres
cnce of the Judge of all the EARTH"
who did not feel deeply for their I'M
timely end, and sympathize with their
sorrowing but unknown relatives.
There were present at that small fu-
neral, on that bright Sabbath morn
ing, in that beautiful cemetery, hearts
to feel, and eyes to weep, over the
burial of two poor soldiers, who had
fallcn-not by the hands of an enemy,
but by murdcrcrs at the call of their
country, and in the discharge of their
duty. May God have mercy ON their
slayers !
The Boston Transcript adds that
"The correct names of the soldiers
were James Keenan, and Horace Dan
forth, both members of the Stoncham
Light Infantry"
