We publish this week a ca.l by the Re-
publican State Committee, for mass con-
vention to be held a, Montpelier on We'd
nesday, The 9th day tf July next. The
terms Of the cab are broad. 1t is not ad-
dressed to any particular party, but to all
who are in favor of sustaining the constitu-
ton and the Union, and the administration
IN putting down the rebellion We like the
call, and it will prove satisfactory to all the
people Of Vermont, save a few pro-slavery
partizars who still have a sympathizing
hand extended to the rebels.
The action of this convention is doubtless
anticipated, yet We hope all will attend who
can. Gov. Holbrook win be re-nominaied,
as matter of course. Indeed we expect
10 see the entire State ticket re. nominated
by reclamation, and all within ten minutes
after the organization. Such at least we
telieve will be the feeling of the conVen-
zion, SO well satisfied are the people with
the present State administrator. The fact
that the present incumbents have all served
one or mere years is one good reason why
they should be relelected; and especially is
this true at this time, when the duties of our
State officers have been so much increased
by the condition Of the country. They are
now acquainted and experienced in their
duties. Let them be reelected, and carry
forward the work with which they have be-
come familiar, and when we take green
hands, let it be at a less trying period Of
our eountry's affairs.
We anticipate an interesting convention
.-one which will be harmonious and pairi-
otic, and one which will truly reflect the al
most unanimous voice Of the people of the
Green Mountain State.

NE MSPAPER LAW.

/. A postmaster is required TO give ne
tice ~ letter (return!ng the paper does not
answer the law) when subscriber does not
take his paper from the office, and state the
reasons for its rot being taken; and neg
lect to do SO makes the postmaster respoaSi-
bic to the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who takes paper regu-
larly from the post-office-w whether direct
ed to his name or to another--or whether
he has subscribed or not, is responsible for
the pay.
3. If a person orders his paper discon-
tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the
publisher may continue TO send it until pay
ment is made, and collect the whole amount
~hether ii IS taken from the office or not
There can be no legal discontinuance until
the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper tc
be stopped at certain time, and The pub.
Usher oontinaos to send it, the subscriber is
bound TO pay for it If he takes ii oft Of tho
post-c6fce. The law proceeds on the ground
that man must pay for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers and periodicals from the
post-ofiice, or removing and leaving then
uncaled for, is p,'i,sa .facie evidence Of in
territorial fraud.

e. An address to the wet-nurse democ-
racy of this State was put forth last week,
calling upon them to hold a convention " at
an early day." that they may have a rally
in behalf of slavery, and prevent its after
extinction during The war, if possible. The
wet nurses are also warned to avoid the
mistake of last year, in nominating men
who win sell their party for some petty To-
cal affair" If they have one such among
them anywhere, Barnum would like TO be
on his track at once. As but one or two Of
the democratic papers in the State support
this particular breed of democracy, some
interest is felt TO see this hybrid collect to-
gether.

EsTEY & GREENS MELoDEoNs.-We
have repeatedly had occasion to note the
valuable in proyements made in melodeons
and in their manufacture by our enterpris-
ing townsmen,-improvements that have
been invented in their establishment, patent
ed by them, aud limited exclusively to in
struments of their manufacture Their
first great Improvement was the addition of
patent Base Damper; this was soon fol-
lowed by their patent Harmonic Attach
ment, doubling the power of the instrument
without increasing its size or the number of
reeds. They have now effected another
radical improvement in the addition of a
Manual Sab Base, by which set of sub
base reeds entirely independent of the 9TH
er reeds in the Instrument, is attached TO
and played with The ordinary keys, without
any further effort than Is required in play
ing an ordinary instrument. This addition
takes up no extra room, and may be applied
even to the smallest sized Instruments
When combined with the Harmonic Attach
ment a portable instrument Ct almost in
credible power and variety is produced.
This last improvement has recently been
patented.
With these improvements, all Of which
are peculiar to the instruments made by
Estey e Green, 1t is no wonder that their
melodeons are in great request and are
meeting with rapid and constantly extended
sale. Although the war has crippled or
materially injured most branches of bust
ness in this place as every where else in the
country, the manufacture and sale of melo-
deems by this firm is constantly increasing
"a fact that furnishes sufficient proof, if
any other were wanting, that their instru-
ments are the very best that the market af-
fords. We heartily congratulate our neigh
bors on the extent to which their industry
and skill are appreciated by discriminat-
ing public.--Bratae6oro Phensr.
We can fully endorse the above, from an
with the manufacturers and
the instruments they make. The late i'm
provements they have made, no doubt rem
der their Instruments the best to be found
in this country.

Each have now called State Convention
to nominate candidates for State officers.

is, that one goes for palting down the trail

is fun of sympathy for the rebels, and wish
to act as wet nurse to slavery, after the Bel

Reflection of Senator Foot.

Several OF our contemporaries in the State
have recently discussed the reelection of
Mr. Foot, our present able Senator, who
has served us so long and faithfully in the
Uaiee1 States Senate. Our readers too
well understand the course which we have
pursued in such cases to need much from
US. We have never been an advocate for
rotation among important offices, and es-
pecially in relation TO congressman. Two
years ago we advocated the reelection Of
Hon. j. S. Morrill, to the House, not because
there were no other able and worthy men
in the district, but because he had been tried
end proved true, and the district owed it to
itself to reap the benefit of his experience.
So with Senator Foot, with whom we are
hot acquainted, as we never happened to
meet him, circumstance tue of but few Of
the public men of this State. We therefore
advocate lais recollection this fall from no
personal considerations whatever, but entire
iy on the ground upon which We have all
ways favored the election of experienced
congressman.
If We remember correctly, Hon. Solomon
Foot was first clrosen to the House in 1874,
and for most of the time since has been a
member either of the House or Senate
Early in congressional lie he took ground
against the extension of slavery, and has
faithfully stood by that policy up to the
present time. With Judge Collamer, his
able colleague, he has, by his eminent abii-
ity and long experience in legislative life
become one of the strong men of the Sen
ate and Of the country. There is no one
thing which contributes SO much toward
giving our public men position of strength
and influence in the councils Of the nation
as legislative experience. The strong mer
bf our country have very seldom been those
who have been subjected to the doctrine o
rotation John Quincy Adams was kept il
public life as long as he lived. j. r. Gid
dings, the old veteran of Ohio, was in the
House twenty years His notions were
"radical," in the usual aceeptaiion of thai
term, bat he always had strong majority
IN his district TO back him. The same ma,
also be said Of William Slade and Horae,
Everett, VINO have now passed away, bo
who were long members OF Congress iron
ibis State. SO OF the men of the South
from an early period Of the country's bisto
~. Calhoun, who did not live TO see tn
elimination Uf bis secession and disunio
doctrines, is an instance. All these mer
and many others who nigh, be mentioned
occupied positions Of great influence, and ]
most cases a! least, mainly from great lee
jslaiive experience.
Let us therefore re-elect Senator Foo
il win maintain and continue our influenc
in Congress. promote the public welfar,
ard Vermont and the whole country wi
get the benefit of his experience.
