CossnciI OF Ccnsors.

Our readers are doubtless aware that the
period viii again have arrived next March
when we are TO elect Council of Censors,
who are to look over the legislation Of our
State during the last seven years, and see
if the Constitution has received attractions,
and TO recommend amendments to that in
sirumcnt, if thought proper. The late prof
itless session Of the legislature again calls
10 mind what we have before urged, viz !:
biennial sessions Of the Legislature. There
are several reforms which we think might
be adopted with much advantage to our
State. A good many cannot see why yer-
mont should have a legislature in session
six to eight weeks every year, when New
Hampshire, right by her side, does her leg
islating in four or five. Again, ii seems
strange to some that with our population Of
three hundred and fourteen thousand, we
should require 239 representatives, when
New York, with a population of four mil
lions, gets along very well with 1913 repre-
sentalives. This last, however, we do not
consider as much Of an evil; and as the
small towns viii not consent to be cut up
into districts, there is no use talking about
it. We do think, however, tina, biennial
sessions of the legislature would be accept
able to the people, not including our friends
at Montpelier, who of course wonld very
naturally be opposes to any such change.
We don't suppose, however, there is much
prospect Of any change being made, but if
thu next Council Of Ceusors would even
abolish themselves, they viii have done
some good.

Col. cochrnne,s Sncecl,.

We need not OF caerse, call attention to
the speech of Col Cochranc on our outside.
1t is one of the most important speeches
made by any public man in our country
since the war began. II handles slavery
and the Shareholders Without gloves--ihe
only way in which the present rebellion can
be handled with success. The speech has
been endorsed by the Secretary of War,
and also by many leading democrats of the
country, which makes it still more impor-
tant and significant. Among the last are
Gen. Burnside of Rhode Island, Daniel S.
Dickinson Of New York, and Edwin Cros-
well Of New York, Gen. Butler of Mas.a.
chusetts, and others. If any one is faint
hearted on the subject of slavery, and has
the miserable notion that slavery must not
be harmed in our efforts TO preserve the
government, let him read Col. Cochranc's
speech twice, and then Secretary Cameron's
endorsement four times. oi

Mason AyD SLIDELL.-These distin-
gushed rebels arrived at Boston on Sunday
m )rning last, and are now safely chartered
at Fort Warren. Mason tries TO appear
tolerably cheerful, but it is evidently forced,
while Slidcll is described as deeply affected
and Respondent. lie looked pale and de-
jected, and never uttered word from the
ship to the landing Place. The other two
prisoners were evidently not in the best
spirits in fact, only for tue Opaque sun
shin of Mason's manner, the aspect Of mind
of the four prisoners was as wintry as
Greenland. Mason was rather querulons
concerning the taste Of our climate, and
blamed its breath as most unpleasant
thing, which subject constituted the burden
of his conversation. On landing at the
wharf there was no extra guard seen on
duty-uo more ceremony, in fact, than what
any common visitor may provoke by land
ing there.

The Legislature.

The legislature adjourned very short off
on Thursday Of last week, at O'Clock p.
NJ. II did some things-a very few--but
there was great deal more that it did not
do. The personal liberty laws were finally
all left as before. A new bill was passed
in the Senate on tins subject, but the House
killed it, very properly, as we think. We
do not believe that it's any time to tinker
on this kind Of legislation now. There was
quite an exciting discussion on Gov. fetch.
crs resolutions. Gov. L. himself, support
ed them in an able speech, in which he was
sustained by Henry, of Chester, Miner, Of
Manchester, and others. They were disap-
proved by several, some Of whom talked as

TIE ELEcroN AT llAGrt ORD. The
annual election At Hartford, Conn. ON Men
day, resulted in the election Of the peoples
Union ticket, by majorilics ranging from
200 to 400, out OF a vote of 1872. The
secession democrats made a desperate eff
fort, but were eomplet- ly routed, The is
sue was openly made on the question of
loyalty or disloyally, and The town of Hart
ford has spoken decidedly in favor of sus-
tanning the government and the war.
That is right, Now, in The nations peril,
let our politics be between the loyal and
disloyal. The only mistake in the above is
calling them secession democrats" The
man in sympathy with treason and traitors
is no democrat of any kind.
