Cool MPUDENcE.-At the District Conyen.
tion at Rutland, last Wednesday, when the del
egates from Washington County went by them
selves to select their portion of the nominating
committee, many of them were quite surprised
to find among the delegates several persons from
this County who have never been suspected at
home of being " in favor Of sustaining the Ad-
ministration in its efforts to put down tho re-
bellion, and sustain the Constitution and the
Union.' There are men who, for considera.
ton, will wear any mask, and persouate any
character-solders Of fortune, Who for the time
will serve in any ranks in which they can obtain
pay and ratons,-and several of that class of
mercenaries were evidently at Rutland. We do
not hesitate to say, however, that man who
will thus 90 into convention and attempt in any
way to control its action, with whose political
principles he has no sympathy and whose lead
ing men and measures he never ceases to malign,
has no political honesty or integrity, If, indeed,
he has any sense of the decent proprieties Of or.
binary life We shall no, call names here, as
1T may be barely possible that some who took
part in this bare-iaced fraud, were ignorant
either OF the disgraceiul part they were playing,
or of the proprieties of such an occasion, but
we warn those engaged in it, that they will not
again escape SO easily, if they should ever attempt
to repeat there or elsewhere the performance at
Rutland.
1t is due to the candidate for Congress, in
whose interest these copperheads were taken
TO Union Convention, to say that we have no
idea he suspected for an instant the instru.
mentalities which were being employed to ad.
vance his prospects in the Convention. If he
had he would have condemned and denounced
the base trick as earnestly as we have.

Governor of South Carolina, has issued the fol-
lowing address to the colored troops respecting
the death Of Col K. q. Shaw

The last .argu, and Patriot publishes the fol-
lowing letter;
WEST FAIRLEE, July 30, 1868.
Mr.. Editor The question of the political or
thodoxy Of Alvah Bean, Of this town, one of the
Democratic nominees for Senator having been
raised in our Convention on Tuesday last, il is
should be informed with reference thereto. The
fact that he is on the Republican ticket does look
bad, but he 10 there without having committed
himself to them, and is not 10 blame because they
have thought ii best for them to use his name.
Since he was nominated by them he has declared
that he was an unyieldng Democrat, and had
rather be defeated as the nominee OF the Democ-
raoy than to be elected as the candidate Of the Re
publicans. He has no sympathies with the politi.
cal heresies Of black republlcanism, and will vote
the Democratic State, Congressional and County
tickets. 1t was his intention to attend the Dem
ocratic County Convention and participate in its
proceedings, but the inexcusable delay in calling
that Convention, and the indeoently short notice
given when it was called, made It impossible for
him so to do because OF unavoidable business en-.
gagements made by him before the call appeared.
The Democracy OF West Fairlee will voueh for
him as true man, and il elected rs beyond a
doubt he will be, be will be found opposed TO the
sectional legislation which has dsgraced Vernon.
in the past. Yours Truly
DEMOCRAT.
Mr. BEAN is either exceedingly unfortunate in
having Democrat" for bis friend and spokesman
or be is totally unfit to be voted for on the Union
tickle, for Senator in Orange County. We sup.
pose the people Of Orange County understand
their own politics, bu, it is entirely Incompetent
sible 10 us how man can be for the Government,
and at the same time be popular with those who
compose the so.ealled Democratic party in this
State. We trust Mr., BRAN will deny the state.

NATIONAL THASKsoHNG.-W trust the PEG.
pie of the State will suitably observe the day
set apart for Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
the successes which have advanced the Union
cause. We had hoped the Governor OF the
State would officially call attention 10 it, but
as he has not, that duty is lett to the press and
the people. Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts
has issued proclamation in relation to the day
in which he said
earnestly trust not only that in all our
churches and congregations Of religious worship
the day may be observed by becoming acts oil
public thanksgiving, but that every hear, may
find an altar on which to lay its Offering Of
humble and grateful praise.
Certainly people never had greater reason
to give thanks, and to remember the Being who
has given us the victory aud let us not in our
successes forget Him.
