'uERLY PRErosrERoUs.-W have said
that it will not be sound policy to so con-
s'ruc, the congressional districts as to give
to the minority an undue advantage in case Of
future recoustfuction Of old political parties.
The Freeman says this is "utterly preposter-
Gus in the present state Of parties" SO in
deed it Isl but equally preposterous is the
fFeemaH's objection. II does not touch the
point In the present state Of parties, either
plan will do. In a possible state by-and-by,
one plan will be good aud the other bad.
Now we hope our neighbor understands us.

~ In the 4th Congressional district New
York city, Ben. Wood is the democratic can
didate and in the 5th, Fernando Wood
Ben. is member OF the present congress,
and is on trial before the judiciary committee
on charge Of disloyalty Fernando is tho
man who telearaphed to Toombs that he
would send him arms if he could. Is dis
loyalty democratic; Not in Vermont; it
may be in New York. Three quarters of a
century ago, Ethan Allen said the gods OF the
valleys are not the god Of the hills-New
York is not Vermont. It is true still.
