THE EIECTION.

We earnestly hope the freeman OF Vermont

Windham County will bccomngly respond to
the generous confidence which has selected one
of her own sons to be the recipient of honors and
RESPONSIBILITIES in times like these. The entire
absence of the partizan appliances and watch

to rally the people, in behalf of this or that party

spiracy to overthrow the constitution and gov
crnment which our fathers bequeathed us, has
wiped out party lines and divisions, until now
weare united people, having one object and one
impulse-the preservation of our liberties.
Let the freemen rally to the polls, then, not
as partizans--not as Republicans, Democrats,
whigs-but as patriots, determined that until
this wicked rebellion is crushed, but one voice
shall 60 out from the great loyal states of the
North-thc voice of Patriotism. Such a Union

THE DEMOCRATIC UNION CONvEN-

Editor Of tie Herald In looking over the
telegraph columns of your paper of this morn

appears that somebody is dissatisfied with some
thing-and what can it be? Not the spirit or
the resolutions of the enthusiastic Union Con-
vention at Montpelier of the Goth of June last,
which expresses the sentiments of every loyal
citizen of Vermont. Not that the nominees are
all Republicans-not because the 1t Governor >,
who has been much in the way of Union in
the State, was Republican.-Not all those
that have caused so much trouble in certain
quarters is clearly demonstrated.
But Frederick Holbrook is the man who must
he disposed of, and for the reason that Mont
pelier demands-and it must be obeyed. Mont
pelier has the President of the Convention.
Montpelier and the friends of its State house

Windsor county man is placed in nomination
for Governor. Mr.. Underwood, after all that
has been done to get him from the ticket it
seems, is the only man on whom the people can
unite. The question u.s. must the choice of the
freeman of this State give way to the Montpel-
Ter clique Mr. Hobrook is the man of the
people he understands, and is representative

with honor to the State and himself, and YER

services of Treasurer John b. Page, in her pres

DEALING WITH TRAITORS.

The Govern ment is at length dealing with the
vile traitors who infest northern society in a
manner to give satisfaction to the public
Those in high positions-men and women too
have been arrested and confined, and others
will be served in like manner. Postmasters
have been forbidden to forward secession news
papers, like the N. Y. Neus, Day Book, Jour-
nal Of Commerce, &c., &C., through the mails,
and the Express Companies have been notified
to "handle not"
This is precisely as it should be. There is no
consistency in sending forth our brave boys to
put down secession and treason at the South,
while we permit the aiders and abettors of that
treason to go unwhipped of justice in our very
midst. The northern mind has been slowly,
but surely, awakening to the the truth of this
idea, until it is now prepared to stand by, and
cooperate with, the Government, in its efforts
to purge the loyal states of traitors. Hence
forth no open, avowed traitor to his country
and his government will find the free states a
comfortable, or even safe place of abode
Let such take warning in time, and either re-
pent or-trdrd!

RECRUITING.

Reports from different parts of the State as
sure as that enlistments for the twenty compa-
MES to compose the 4th and 9th Regiments are
taking place rapidly, and it is not improbable
that the whole number required will be enrolled
before Saturday night of this week.
In this county, up to Wednesday morning, F.
Goodhue, Brattleboro, had recruited 81 men
i. Gorham, Jr. Wilmington, 33 men-and IL.
II. Wheeler, Jamaica, is reported to have large
number. There is also recruiting Office at
Saxton's River, from which we have no report.
Messrs. Goodhue and Gorham report that re-
cruits are still offering as freely as ever.
Bratteboro has now Notwithstanding
those in Capt. Todd's company in the Second
Regiment-niety-on three years men, or eight
more than full company. If all the towns
in the county would do as well in proportion to
population, this county would furnish about
eight full companies.
We have reliable authority for saying that no
parts of Regiments will be sent forward, and
that no recruits will leave till they are fully
armed, and probably not till they are uniformed
and equipped

iRMONT'ER.

While strong controversy, relating to the
burial place of this illustrious man. has vexed
the citizens of our northern towns, from be-
meath the rocky hills of Rutland has come forth
that which under the hand of art shall best
represent to the living generation the spirit and
purpose which animated the departed hero
The marble so lately disturbed in its long slum-
Der, stands forth to-day the enduring embodi-
ment of character which shall remain stand
ing reproach to all who shrink from any dan
ger along the course of true patriotism. The
finishing strokes having been given to the statue
it will be Immediately forwarded to Montpelier
and placed in the porch of the State-house
where its Inauguration will be celebrated with
an Grafton and other appropriate exercises, al
the meeting of the next General Assembly.
We learn with pleasure that Gen. Baxter Of
Rutland has become the owner OF the two
statuettes, the "Green Mountain Boy" and
"Green Mountain Girl" by Mead; he having
purchased them while in our village engaged in
caring for the returned volunteers of the Isl
Regiment. Connected as Gen. Baxter is with
the quarrying of the marble, which under the
hands Of our young townsman will acquire de-
srablc repute for purposes of sculpture, there il
an obvious fitness in his possessing these works
and the advantage of position for exhibiting
them favorably and extensively, in residence
like that of the Generals, can but be gratifying
to the artist.

REPREsENTATIvEs.-Th coming session Of
the legislature will, in many respects, be the
most important one ever convened since the or
ganizaton Of the state. Que stons of vast i'm
portance, touching the civil, military and finan-
cial condition Of the state, will present them
selves for solution. We need our best men,
and best talent, in the Legislature. The Senate,
judging by the nominations made in the differ
ent counties, will be very able body. Let us
have House to correspond. To this end, let
each town elect its very best man, without re-
gard to his past political opinions prorided, al
ways, he is now q true man and patriot. Let
us have our men of ability, of education and
experience-men with clear heads and honest
Vermont hearts. Such men are better than
mere partizans.

A meeting of the Sons of Vermont was held
at San Francisco, CAL, the latter part of July for
the purpose of raising fund for the relief of the
widows and orphans of those Vermonters who
may fall in the present struggle. The sum of
$500 already subscribed for the purchase of a
flag was transferred to this patriotic fund, and
it was voted that subscriptions be solicited from
Vermonters throughout the State, and as often
as the sum Of $500 was received, to transmit
the same to the Governor of Vermont, to be

THE ADMINISTRATION AND SLAvERY.-Caleb
speeches, few days since, at Providence, r. l.,
stated the position of the administration in re-
lation to slavery and the war in the following
clear and unmistakable terms;

well. 1t has been my fortune to be selected as
one of his constitutional advisers have had
the honor of being connected with this admin
istration since its commencement, ana tell
you tonight that you cannot md IN South
Carolina n man more anxious, religiousy and
scrunulously. to observe all the features of the
constitution relating TO slavery than Abraham
Lincoln. Had the people of the South been
willing to wait and see whether he would re-
gard that oath which, in the presence of the as
sembled nation, he had taken, they would have
found that no<admnistration ever organized in
this country would have more conscientiously
regarded and protected the rights of the South
than this administration would have done. |
know that speak the sentiments Of the Presi-
dent and his advisers-of those who have con-
trollcd his administration.
81 do not invoke you to engage in this war
as war against slavery. We aye warning for
a different principle. But there is an old adage
brought down to us from the ancients. That
whom the gods would dest oy they must first
madden They are afflicted by that madness
which for their wickedness Gods providence
has brought upon them. And that will do
more TO crush out the institution of slavery
than would have been done by the peaceful adj
ministration of the government in ten centuries.
II that should be the consequence have no
tears to shed. To the future and to Providence
leave the issues OF this great question. It is
not the province of the government of the
United States to enter into crusade against
the institution of slavery"

A Gentleman who called upon Gen. FREE
mont at st. Louis, few days ago, on business
of no less Importance than the equipment of
full regiment of cavalry, says that the following
conversation took place;

At % minutes past f. precisely our informant
was at the Generals door, which flew open at
his command. AT this early hour, the General
was at his table with the papers before him.
The Colonel made his bow, and was saluted
thus:
