RESISTING LAWS AS UNCONVENTIONAL
Gen. jackson, in his farewell address to the
people of the United States, laid down tn,
American doctrine with regard to testing the
constitutonality of laws as follows:
But, in order to maintain the Union unim.
paired, it is absolutely necessary that the laws
passed by the constituted authorities should be
faithfully executed in every part of the country,
and that every good citizen should at all times,
stand ready to put down, with the combined
force OF the nation, every attempt at unlawful
resistance, under whatever pretext it may be
made, or whatever shape it may assume Tn.
constitutional or oppressive laws may no doubt
be passed by Congress, either from erroneous
views, or the wantof due consideration if thew
are within reach of judicial authority, the rem.
edy is peaceful and easy ; and if, from the char.
acter of the law, it is an abuse of power not
within the control of the judiciary, then free
discussion and calm appeals to reason and to
the justice OF the people will not fail to redress
the wrong. But until the law shall be declared
void by the courts, or repealed by Congress. no
individual or combination Of individuals can be
justified in forcibly resisting it's execution. II
Is impossible that any government can continue
10 exist upon any other principles. 1t would
cease to be government, and be unworthy off
the name, If it had not the power to enforce the
execution oil its own laws within its own snhero
OF action"

Davis, which were captured in Mississippi, and
bave been sent to Washington, the army CORES.
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says that
it appears from them that Mr.. Buchanan, while
President, had been in correspondence with the
conspirators, and pledged to maintain neutrality
until the inauguration Of thenew President. In
the meantime the traitors hoped to control the
army and navy, to monopolze the arms and to
so completely paralyze the administration that
the success Of the Confederacy would be certain.
The North were to be kept out until they were
ready to recognize slavery and the slave trade

A Word TO voTERs.-The Peace Democrats
in this State are not a large body, but they are
active, and will be out in full force at the coming
election to make as much show as possible. There
is no danger that they will be able anywhere to
make show formidable enough to be at present
dangerous. They are working wholly for the fu-
ture, hoping to make demonstration now that
shall give nucleus, respectable in numbers, as a
base for further operations. The best way to
demonstrate the weakness Of this pestilent party
Of modern Federalists, is for the Union voters Of
the State to be at the polls on the day Of election
and give full vote for all the Union candidates.
Let the loyal men who are at home at least give
one day in the year to the service of their coun-
try. The boys in the army cannot vote, and our
ticket will lose 50 much strength and there is SO
much the more need that every voter at home
should be at the polls. 1t is not enough that the
State is true TO the Union, and will vote 30 II
two-thirds Of the loyal men stay at home-let i,
be made overwhelmingly so. And this can be
done II every voter does his duty on the FIRST
Tuesday in September.

Letter from Hon. Alyah Bean.

We have received the following letter from
Hon. Alyah Bean OF West Fairlee, relative to
the attempts Of some of the Peace Democrats
to claim him as one of themselves
Mr.. EDITOR An exceedingly laboured at
tempt is being made to draw me into a newspa-
per discussion, in consequence of the nomina-
ton received, and very many Interpretations
have been put forth to accomplish it. can
only say that received the nomination Tor
Senator last year, Unexpectedly, unsolicited and
against my own wishes. have again received
the nomination by both conventions, and the
best guaranty | could give for my future
course would be my past acts. | am to-day
and ever have been, utterly opposed to this re-
bellion, and feel it to be my duty, and the duty
of every man to use his utmost exerton to sup
press it, and restore the Union.
ALvAH BEAN.
West Fairlee August IA, 1868.
In addition to the above letter,we have beer
assured by gentlemen who know Mr.. Bean init
mately that he is true Union man, in favor o
a vigorous prosecution Of the war by all thu
instrumentalities at the command of the Gov
eminent. We are also reminded that when il
the Senate last year Mr.. Bean voted Tor tn
following resolution
Resolved That we cordially approve Of tn
recent emancipation proclamation of the Presi
dent Of the United States as just in principle
and wise in policy, as q measure for the SUP
preston of the rebellion. And that Vernon
will cheerfully respond to any call for materio
aid to assist in a vigorous prosecution Of th
war until the authority Of the general Govern
meut is fully established throughout the entir

CONVICTION FOR TREAsoN.-In the Circuit
Court, sitting at Louisville, Thomas C. Shackett
has recently been convicted of treason against the
United States, and sentenced to ten years impris-
onment and to pay fine of $4,000. His slave,
we're also declared free by the same sentence.
Under the law as it was before |, was modified by
Republican Congress, the criminal could only
have escaped death by the clemency of the Pres
ident. Yet the Northern sympathizers with Jeff.
Davis never cease their clamor against that Con.
gress, alleging with every variation Of epthe
which their language affords, that the men who
thus softened the rigors ofthe law against treason,
were the most inhuman monsters who ever dis.
graced the halls Of legislation. When calmer
times come, however, the humanity and the wis.
dom Of that legislation will be evident to all who
are not blinded by the bitterest partisanshp.

THE NEXT CoNGREss.-The sham Democrats
have begun to boast Of their majority in the next
Congress. We advise them to wait little. 1t
may turn out, after all, that they will be in de-
cided minority. The New York Herald although
figuring out a majority Of three against the Ad-
mini,tration says, on all questions relating to
the war there will be found an overwhelming ma
jorty in favor Of its vigorous prosecution for the
suppression Of the rebellion and the re-establish-
ment of the Union" We have no doubt this
last conclusion will turn out to be the true one.
The Kentucky delegation is unit for the vigor-
Gus prosecution Of the war, and tho Border State
delegations generally will be of the same stamp.
1t will be left for the Blue Lights from New York
city, and other districts in the free States, to vote
against supplies Of men and money for the sup
preston Of treason. The Woods, the Brooks,
and their kindred politicians will have the monop
oily Of that iniamy.

Gov. Seymour, 10 his recent impudent letter tc
President Lincoln advising suspension Of the
draft in New York until the consttutionaty o.
the law could be tested, said that New York :" ha,
met every call heretofore made, while every other
Atlantic State, and the New England States, ex.
cept Rhode Island, was delinquent" This is q
falsehood, and Gov Seymour ought to have
known II to be 80. We have always understood
that New Jersey had furnished tie full quota, and
hitherto that has been the boast Of the Democratic
party. Massachusetts, has exceeded her quotas
and so has Vermont-But the fact tha, the state
ment made by Gov. Seymour is untrue would no,
embarrass him. II a lie would bolster up his ar.
gument better than the truth, Of course be would
use it. His objec, is no, to have justice done to
New York, but to embarass President Lincoln,
and help JET. Davis and be invsnu facts and
builds up Arguments accordingly.

Vermont at Hamburg.

Speaking about the exhibition Of sheep, the
Hamburg correspondence Of the Tribune says
"The exhibition oil sheep Is the finest and
largest ever made in Europe. More than seven.
teen hundred have been entered. France.
England and the German States are largely
represented. The United states are represented
in this department by twelve sheep from the
State of Vermont They are from the flock Of
George Campbell, Esq, OF that State. 1t is a
matter OF no small honor to the United States,
aud Vermont in particular, that these twelve
sheep have taken three prizes-two first and one
second. The two first were in the class for
bucks, one for quality, and one for quantity
The second was in the class for ewes tor both
quality and quality The amount of the first
prizes is fifty thalers each equal to thirty-elght
dollars in American gold. The entry Of twelve
American sheep was made public through the
press OF Germany several weeks before the Fair,
and it was regarded as great joke tina, America
should for moment think Of competing with
Germany in sheep. But the competition has
been eminently sucoeeslul-and the long faces
OF the other exhibitors indicate their mortifca-
ton and disappointment. All honor to America.
and particularly to Vermont, through whose in
auence these sheep are here, and these laurels
for America won. Vermont has shown much
enterprise in this matter she was the first
State to appoint Commissioner, and has shown
most commendable activity throughout. The
Hon. Daniel Nee Than, Commissioner from YER
mont, has been untiringly industrious in behalf
OF America. Two American gentlemen only,
were honored with positions on the jurles-Mr.
Baldwin OF New York, and Col. Needham of
Vermont.

KENTUCKY UNIoNIsM.- While the sham Dem
ocrats cannot agree among themselves whether
to claim the recent Union triumph in Kentucky
as their victory, it may be well TO let the candi.
dates elected speak for themselves. Bramlette,
Just elected for Governor, had occasion before
the election to write letter correcting an erro.
neous report Of one Of his speeches. In this let
ter he was explicit in stating that he was hostile
to emancipation and confscation. But he added
have in every speech sought to impress the
public mind that if we failed TO correct these evils
through the medium Of the ballot box, which
was uncertain in our present condition, we would
sweep away emancipation, confscation, negro
regiments, aud all other like measures, by carry.
ing out our second resolution by " crushing the
present causeess and wicked rebellion " and " re-
storing the National authority over the reyolted
States that crushing the rebellion would end the
war, and sweep away all war measures That is
a certain remedy. That by" crushing " the re-
belIion we would restore the constitution in its full
vital action over all the States and Territories
and thus put an end to all war measures and war
politics.
We confess that an opposition Of that character
to the policy of the Government, is one that we
can understand and respect. Such an opposition
gives no aid or comfort to treason. It states lhl
true patriotic policy which should control the ac
ton of every loyal man disagreeiug with the Gov
ernment in Its war policy. Crush The rebellion
at oil hazards, and that will restore the Constitu
ton. low much different this course is from
the course of Seymour aud ValAndigham and
sham Democracy everywhere, our readers car
judge.
