The WRIT or HABEAs CoRPUs.--lt is
fashionable for some persons to be extremely
Jealous OF personal liberty, and to complain
of the suspension Of the writ of habeas cor
pps, All right when well-timed. Our past
record is emphatic and clear on that subject.
But individual liberty is nothing compared
with the liberty of nation. Ia times Of
danger we must give our property, our bod
les our lives, If need be, for the common
veal and that is just what patriotic people
are now doing. Now take the case of one
who would sacrifice all these against his
country, if be could; or who will not volun-
tarily sacrifice either for his country, and sc-
tually does what he can to prevent others
Is it hard thing for such man to be shut
up for while: Does so small and temporary
an inconvenience as that merit very deep SYM
pathy from those who are laying their all up
on the altar Of their country; Let Us not
override our grief; we may need II tor grand
or occasions The fact is that the Constitu-
ton does not count individual liberty dearer
than national safety. 1t designed to have the
writ OF hdJeas corpus suspended whenever
necessary But let the Government exer-
else all possible care to prevent abuses, and
give in every case fair trial at the earliest
practicable moment. We remind our Demo-
cratic friends that Jackson, when General
in the field, did not hesitate to set his face
against the habeas corpus and that he found
his ablest defender in Stephen A Douglas,
and ample yindication in Democratic Con
gress

Agreeably to previous notice, the annual

was holden at the Societys room at the

On motion. Messrs. w. II. Lord. a. D..
Hagar and Gen. j. w Phelps were appoint
ed a committee to report list of officers for
the year ensuing
Charles Reed, Esq. the Librarian Of the
Society, presented list Of documents con-
tributed from various sources during the
yesr--some Of them Of great antiquity and
value.
In The report Of Mr.. Reed, he remarks -
Among the most valuable contributions are
the bound volumes Of the Watchman d Jour
nal presented by Hon r.. p Walton. II ev-
cry publisher Of a newspaper, al the end Of
the year, would present his volume to the So
cety, il would have the means Of presenting
TO the years to come a perfect mirror Of our
times and manners, caught living as they rise;
and every man who follows so excellent On
example will confer signal service on them
selves and on posterity. The newspapers Of
the day, containing as they do, almost every
thing that is important to be preserved, are
the soonest Of printed matter to disappear.
And we learn from Mr. Walton's own paper,
for many years the only one published at the
capital Of the State, that the earlier volumes
are not to be found, and probably do not
exist"

UNITED STATES SENATOR.


UNITED STATES SENATOR.
II Is a pleasing duty to announce the re-
election Of SOLOMON FooT to the U. s. SEN
ate by almost a unanimous vote unanimous,
indeed, in the Senate, and by two hundred
and six out Of two hundred and thirteen votes
in the House. A good work, and splenddly
done
Until now there is but one instance in
Vermont Of three elections Of the same per-
son to the United States Senate. On the ad-
mission Of the State to the Union, 1891,
Stephen X. Bradley was elected one Of the
Senators and drew the four years class. lie
was succeeded by Elijah Paine, who served
one term, and was reelected in 1900, but re-
signed, and Mr.. Bradley was reelected in
1901, and again in ls06-thus receiving
Samuel S Phelps received two elections and
served both terms, and then served short
time on appointment by the Governor
Should Senator Foot serve out bis third term,
it will be the longest service OF any Vernon
ter in the Senate. We hope he may be spar
ed for useful aud honorable service. His de-
signation originally for this service was by
some esteemed accidental we prefer to say
proyidential. 1t was in 1888, after he had
filed the chair Of the House with extraordina-
~ ability, but before he had had any congress
al L. in,
man Of good promise, but we believe inno-
cent Of any aspiration for the places which he
has since 80 well filled. The contest, then on
the first election Of Judge Phelps, was severe
and somewhat protracted. Attempts we're
made 70 scatter, and then to rally upon some
new candidate. Mr. Foot's name appeared
in the scattering votes a rush followed to
hi, support. He was almost elected he GER
tainly 0U he elected st the next ballot We
remember it we'll. Such were the suppressed
cries through the House, and round the lob

INCREASING L1aHr The Washington
correspondent Of the Journal of Commerce,
under date of October 6, has the following
statement which is remarkable only as show
ing that even the most obstinately reluctant
and iault-fnding are discovering reasons for
sustaining the proclamation Of emancipation :
Facts have come to my knowledge which
induce me to believe that the President will
yet be fully yindicated for issuing his much
talked of proclamation do not believe
what did believe, that he was drawn from
his straightforward course by the radi ais.
There were reasons for his acting with which
the public are unaquainted, aud all things
connected with that great movement are not
what they seem.
