1t is the custom of dairymen who make
butter and cheese. and keep their cows on

to dry off the entire herd. These cows come

The Vermont Press.

The Vermont Press are nearly all en-
gagged in discussing the call of the Repub-
licau State Committee for the State Con-
vention at Montpelier, some of which cass,
more than they discuss.
The Woodstock Standard opposes the
action of the State Committee strongly, and
says they have transcribed their powers"
and that it is a scheme 10 give the demo-
cratic party the governor, and that the
scheme was talked up at the extra session
Of the legislature at Montpelier, and that
the time has not arrived for the abandon
ment of the Republican party"
The Windsor journal is out quite as
strong as the Standard against the Com
mittee, and asks "by what authority do
they assume to, disband the Republican
party" when this committee was APP
pointed" ii says, it was understood they
were TO act for the Republican State party,
and for no other purpose. No authority
was conferred upon them either 10 act for
Democratic or Peoples party" 1t further
denouuces their action as the "work OF
wire pnllers and log rollers
The Woodstock Age (demacratic) warns
all democrats against the call and the con.
veniion, and tells them to have nothing to dc
with it. Ii, therefore, the press of Wind
sor County reflect the sentiments of the
people, the State Committee will have
pretty lean support in the largest county o
the State.
The Ludlow Voice asks the question
" Can the South be subjected! I" and think
they can, and that the career of secession
run as soon as it is killed in the borde
States.
The Rutland Herald iutimates willing
ness to throw aside the banners and badge
of party and give an undivided suppol
10 the administration ard Presidant Lin
coin and his cabinet" and that

SpIcY.-The Democratic Standard at
Concord, one Of the last and vilest of the
secession organs of New england, has the
impudence TO send us paper marked
" Please Ex." We would as soon exchange
with the Court Journal Of His Satanic
Majesty, which we take it, is edited by Judas
lscariot and Benedict Arnold BuRqor
CoRrter.
SO say we. Such papers as the Standard
and the New-York Day Book, by leading
the South to believe that the Northern peo-
pie were divided in relation to putting down
treason, the most REASONABLE, have had more
to do in bringing on the present war of Sec
tons, than all the Abolition papers and
speeches combined. Down with the Stand
ard! Down with the Day Book! Free
speech and free Press in tim, of peace,
but in time of war, particularly in REBEL
ion of our own people, let disunion senli-
ments be crushed, even if martial law has
to be instituted TO effect it.-Rmloma

there is nothing decisive in it, and will in

that no dcmoe al can respond TO the re-
publican cali as issued" The Courier Is
right hearty against those secession papers
Of the North, who, like the Bellows Falls
Acgus, n. Y. Day Book, &c, advocate the
divinity of slavery. Coming Gom dem
ocratic source, it is decidedly refreshing
and We therefore give the article in another
place headed Spicy
The Manchester Journal discusses the
nature OF the contest" and says OF those
shareholders who refuse allegiance 10 the
government, and demand the return of their
slaves
! You seek TO recover your slaves under
! the provisions Of the Constitution and Laws
of a government 10 which you refuse al
lesiance. That government will not only
refuse TO protect your properly, but will
punish your wickedness."
Right
The Bennington Banner endorses tie
call of the State Committee, and thinks il
will be favorably received by the people OF
the State.
The Burlington Times is very strongly
for the Peoples Party and thinks old par
ties should be adjourned for the present.
Per contra, the Free Press Of the same
place, is equally strong the other way, and
severely condemns the action OF the State
committee. On the other hand the demo-
cratic Sentinel there, cordially endorses he
call, and invites the democrats TO attend II
in good faith. Indeed, we are OF the opln-
ion that if the democracy of the State
would take the view SO candidly put forth
by the Sentinel, there certainly would be
but one candidate for Governor in Vermont,
this year.
The ST. Adams Messenger and Hyde
park Ncvsdeaier, both endorse the call
while the lrasburgh Standard aud ST
Johnsbury Caiedoaian are strongly Tho
other way. The Bradford Telegraph thinks
the call is about right. The llatchmdn ant
Patriot at Montpelier, seem to favor 1t
though the former has no idea Of abandon
ing republican principles. The Brattlebor'
Pheair very strongly condemns the cours
of the State Committee, and regards It a
mischievous in the extreme" but the Mid
diIebury Register takes the opposite view.
In conclusion, we find of the Repnblca
press Of the State, 6 are emphatic in thei
endorsement of the State Committee, an
quite as emphatic the other way, Will
the democratic papers are mostly hostile
the call.

mense satisfaction, also the next day after
the trial we tried each machine with our
own team, ease of drqtt being very escen-

more. After giving each machine fair
trial we gave the Kirby the decid, d pref
erence. AT the trial, was Woods much
yaunted little machine, but for ease Of draft
and general management, aud perfection Of
work We give the Kirby large machine, the
decided preference aud after two Seasons

while our Neiehbors who purchased other
kinds at about the same time,are nearly used
