We are pleased to find the position OF the
Burlington Sentinel defined. That paper first
praised the call Of the Republican Safe Com
mittee, and laid down promptly in advance
for the Convention, Its proper lineof conduct,
the principal feature OF which was to be
thorough expurgatioo Of all republican, cab
clifton and radical - elements, measures
and men. Il next accepted the rabid call
of the Democratic State Committee for the
Convention at Bellows Falls. declared that it
" Loyalty responded Sc to it. and, in the per
son OF its editor, dictated as one Of the Sec
retaries Of the Convention ard one Of the
Committee ON Resolutions. Il was not Who'll
ly suited, however. with tie tone Of that
semi-secessi5n conclaye; expressed the opinion
that Mr.. Stought9n's resolution should have
been adopted in addition to those reported By
the Committee (Which recommend the preser-
vatlUn Of the Democratic party as the one
method of preserving the conntry,) and
waited on the fence for the result Of the
Union State Convention. That convention,
strange to say, repudiated the programme so
kindly laid down for j. by the Sentinel, and
placed under its nominees, a platform
which said something and meant something.
The earnest republicans were not excluded
from the convention, as the Sentinel had said
they must be, and the honest anti-siayery
sentiment Of ninety-nine cut Of every hun
bred Of the citizens Of Vermont, found *.
preston IN the resolutions adopted.
The Sentinel now hoists both the tickets at
the head Of its mns,-thatits readers may
take their choice. 1t says that the Democratic
one is one that '' may well meet the wishes
Of such Of our Democratic friends as may
think best to vote a straight out ticket,
but for its OWN part it shall vote the Union
tieket--which ticket 1t proceeds to damage
BY declaring Mr.. Holbrook to be Zone Of
the most conservative OF conservatives. We
all know what '' conservative meaDs IN the
dialect Of the Sentinel and Boston Couue-
it is preventative Of slavery, nothing else
On the whole the friends Of 10th ticket:
must be deeply grateful to the Sentinel ioI
its disintcrested and straightforward suI-
port.
1t is at any rate gratifying, as We said at
the start, to know where the Ssnhnel Is. Il:
for the present at least and until it conclude
to vote the other or until third ticket mas
be nominated, evidently sincerely intends T.
20 the Union ticket.
We 20 over this record Of our neiEhb.r
political meanderings and i'll success in man
aging the c1ny. ntions Of Its own aud Other
parties, from 10 unkind motive, but i1r the
lesson it teaches, how hard it is ia thi.
northern mountain air to look one way and
paddle another; 10 sustain slavery and op-
pose a slavery rebellion

FASHIONS TOR AUGUsT.-The August mag
azines give Us the following hints with regard
to the externals Of feminine humanity in this
midsummer Of 1862 -
Shawis and dresses made Of the same material
are much worn for walking t0ilettes, and arc par
tisularly economical; as, when the dress becomes
somewhat old, il may be renovated by using the
shawl for making new body. Nantes are Of the
scarf shape, quite deep at the back, with long,
square ends in front They made Of ersps, gren-
adine, or grenadine JTsgs. Braiding still much
IN vogue, and we see, for the present season, a
great numter Of dresses with jacket o. the zane,
made Of white pekin, or nankeen, either plain,
lowered or striped, but in all cases ornamented
With braiding. Il is always iavorite style q or
namenting childrens dresses and pelisses and this
season black appears TO be the favorite color.
Worked on huff, white stone pilue, the effect i
very good, and for young ladies' morning dresses
nothing is pTettier. Exsggeration in fashion Is
the sure f0rerunner Of simplicity. Many ladies',
as II anticipating the impending change, are wear-
ing skirts very slightly trimmed. but extremely
full set in la ge box plaits at the waist, the only
trimming being a narrow quilting at the bottom Of
the skirt Ist above the her. Crin0iines are very
much reduced in size at the top, but retain their
amplitude at the bottom and are made with trains
to suit the fashionable skirts

FROM EuaoPE.-European advice5 By the
last arrival are to the 18th Of July. The
English press was unanimous in the opinion
that the Union army under Gen. Mcclellan
had sustained "seyere reverse" and that
his position was ''precarious " The Lon
don Heral1 says that the campaign is not
ended, but will be prolonged until Europe
stays the uplifted swOrds.'' Some of the
journals hope that a reconciliation may he
effected, but the general opinion was that
the siege OF Richmond would be recon-
menced. The London Times s,ys the result
of the fighting proves that the rebel army
may maintain itself in Virginia for period
which may be indefinitely prolonged.
