1t is all important in our dealings and

most scrupulously infringing On any Of

Some OF the Canadian papers have been

authority of an English officer Of high repute
who saw with his own eyes, that an army Of
100000 Federal soldiers had forsaken their
commander in his advance upon Manassas,
and Ind returned to the Potomac in Bull Ruu
confusion. This is about as nearly right as
the Canadian papers are apt to be upon Amer
ican news, although they given key to in
formation that would not be permitted in

enough that the army Of the Potomac has re-
turned from Manassas to its old camps, but it

The slave holders IN Congress are max
ing a desperate resistance to the abolition
of slavery in the Federal District. But it
will be IN vain. The disgracef,ll stain will
be wiped away from the National Capital

gress to remove the stigma from our Ma

The better. There are less than s, 900 slaves
in the District, to 12,00o free colored peo-
pie. The predictions Of the terrible evils
likely to flow from the emancipation Of
the few bondsmen are nonsense. The as
sertion Of Senator Kennedy, Of Maryland,
that emancipation would be followed by
scenes Of bloodshed and carnage, is the
sheerest hun1bug ever uttered Senator

THE NEWS.

'Rumors are still aAoat that Foreign Powers
intend to interfere between this Government
and the Rebels Of the South But these Iu-
mors are doubtless set on foot by the rebels
themselves through their agents and sympathi-
GERS at home and abroad. We have no fears
of intervention at present. Russia is our fast
friend and ally. Napoleon is too shrewd to ven-
ture on such an act. England, or rather the
aristocrats Of England, do not love us too
well, and would doubtless like to see the Union
broken up, and our power and influence Grip
pied, but her Government would hardly dare
to recognize the -Contederacy" and risk war
with US just now. 1t would hardly pay.
The Guerillas at the west, in Missouri, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, are very active They
rise up in all quarters, and seem determined to
destroy every thing that comes in their way.
Robbery and murder are their delight. They
must be met promptly, and put down with a
strong hand, or they will do incalculable mis-

THE ELECTION,

On Tuesday next, the 2nd of September, the
Freemen of Vermont are to cast their votes for
Governor, Lieut.. Governor and Treasurer, also
for Senators and Representatives to the Legis-
lative Assembly, and for County officers, and
Probate Judges. This duty, always important,
it especially so in this critical iuncture of our
public affairs We need in office now good
men and true. We want no selfish partizans,
no inscriptions office seekers, none who con-
suit self first and their country afterwards. 1t
is import ant that we have honest, capable, loyal
erty-loving men; men, who will seek and
labor for the best welfare of their country and
its Institutions. We have a mighty work on
hand, to put down this rebellion and to restore
peace. Every loyal State must do its whole
duty. Every public officer and every private
citizen must do his whole duty. Het each voter
see to it that he casts his ballot for none but
good capable men, to whom our public inter-
ess can be safely trusted. Vermontis loyal to
the hearts core. There can be but one party
here the party who are for the Union, for the
maintenance Of the National government, for
bellion is crushed, and for the restoration and
establishment Of peace on the sure basis of
freedom and justice.
In the Green Mountain State there are but
few, a very few, who sympathize with the reb-
els and wish them success and these few
rarely venture to express their feelings and
wishes. They are kept silent by a healthy pub
lie sentiment. This State has responded with
promptness and alacrity to the Presidents call
for 100000 more troops We sent the first
Regiment under this call, and we shall not be
behndhand in furnishing our quota for the
whole, and that too we think without being
obliged to draft single man. Our soldiers
have high reputation in the army, end have
done their duty brayey and nobly. Our Gov
ernor and those associated with him, have been
prompt and energetic in the discharge of their
arduous duties, and the citizens Of the State
will take care by choosing the right men for
office, that the reputation Of Vermont for 10y
atty and energy shall be fully sustained.
