cts, and driving the blues out of their heads,
is now on his farewell tour through Vermont,
and will give one of his fresh, sparkling and
life-prolonging musical treats, at the Town
Hall, Rutland, Saturday evening, March 18th,
when he will be assisted, as on former occa-
sion, by the eminent young vocalist William
Hayward, who is, without exception, the most
pleasing ballad singer we have ever heard
As this is positively Mr.. Dodge's last public
appearance in Rutland, there will be a rush
for seats, and it behooves all to be on hand
cary. We understand that the rush to hear
Mr. Dodge this winter has been so great, that
he has been obliged to repeat his concerts in
several places, and in some instances to give
tvo concerts IN one night 5a the same hoH
in order to crafty all who fiocked to hear him.
he will give one concert in Castleton ON Mon
day eve, March 10th.

QUEER ARGUMENT.-W We published
short time ago some resolutions of the 10th Vt.
Regiment, read at the recent meeting in Ches-
ter. They have evidently affected quite seri-
ously some OF our democratic contemporaries.
One of them tries to avoid their force, by accu-
sing the officers of the regiment with being ''abo-
litlon officers who got their appointments from
the abolition governor of this State" but says,
"should resolutions from the I'd, Sd, 4th, 5th or
9th Vt. regiments, who have seen service and
fought unuer g little Mac" be presented, they
would be entitled to respect.' One queer
thing about this is, that the abolition resou-
tions contained not word about slavery or
the niger " in any way but another, and
queerer thing is this:--the argument is that the
officers of the 10th are peculiarly g abolition "
because appointed by an '' abolition - governor.
The .fact is that the officers of the 10th were
not appointed by the governor, ''abolition or
otherwise, but were elected the company Off
GERS by the respective companies, and the field
officers by the company officers; whereas the
officers of the I'd, Sd, 4th, 5th and 9th regi-
ments a1ere appointed by the governor IF
there is anything to the argument, therefore, it
turns a complete 'sommerset and alights on
the other side.
A QUERY.-If the officers of the 10th Vt.
regiment are " abolition officers" because they
adopted resolutions denouncing the rebellion
and northern "peace-a any price " men, and
declaring it the duty of all men to aid in the
prosecution of the war what are James T,
Brady, and the other democrats who spoke at
the Cooper Institute in New York last Friday?
THE MEETING AT CAvENDIsH.-A large
and enthusiastic gathering in support of the
Government was convened at the Baptist
Church, in this place, Friday, 9th INST. The
meeting was organized by the choice of Judge
French as President, and Rev. Fl. Closson as
Secretary. Able and stirring addresses were
made by the Rev. w. S. Ralch, Esq'r Full
lam, Rev. Joseph O.. Skinner, of Ludlow, and
others Mr. John Parker, freedman from
Virginia, also addressed the meeting There
was but one voice uttered, which was uncom-
promising hostility to traitors both North and
South, and determination to put down the
rebellion. The people in this vicinity are
awake to the crisis of the hour, and will yield
to no time serving demagogism, but will con-
tnue to strike for Government, Union and
Liberty.
The committee on resolutions reported the
following which were adopted unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at Lud-
low, Tuesday P. NJ, March 10th.
H. CLossoN, Secy.
We, the loyal people of Cavendish and vi
cinity, in Mass Convention assembled, do re-
solve,
|. That our attachment to the principles of
the Declaration which constitute the basis of
our civil polty, is undated and unfalter-
ing.
2 That the Government which was be-
queathed to us by the patriots of l776-to es-
tablsh which they pledged their lives, their
fortunes, and their sacred honor-is fully
worthy of the like pledge and sacrifice on our
part, for its maintenance and preservation.
That tbo. EaIaro1 &c
ed in just and righteous war, and that we
are unaterably opposed to any armistice or
cessation of hostilities until the mad rebels de-
sst from their rebellion, and manifest an hon
est desire to return to their allegiance to that
government they had solemnly sworn to sup
port.
4. That the noble attitude of the gallant
soldiers of Vermont challenges our admiration,
and eXcites our enthusiasm and our gratitude !;
their voices from the tented field. that come to
us over mount in and river, in the ringing ac-
cents of patriotism, evince the high resolve to
sustain the Government of their fathers. and
add fresh renown to the Green Mountain
State.
s. That we believe that President Lincoln
has been actuated by pure and honest motives
and the most loyal devotion to the interests of
the people, and we pledge ourselves to hearty
support of his administration.
g. That our honored Governor, Frederick
Holbrook, is entitled to the gratitude Of the
people of Vermont, for his patriotic efforts in
behalf of the cause Of the country, and for his
devotion to the comfort and welfare of the
Vermont troops.
7. That the mscreants at the North who
attempt to discourage the people, to trammel
and embarrass the Government, are meaner
! and more contemplate traitors than the
armed rebels of the South, and that they de-
serve the scorn of every honorable man,
and the whitening frown of every virtuous wo-
man.
7. That the revolt of the Southern States
originated IN a determination to maintain and
extend slavery, and to organize a Confederacy
bsed upon the denial of human rights and
thus it is in violation of every principle of po-
,itical justice, and in defiance of the moral
sense of the civilized world, and fragrant out
rage upon christianity.
9. That we must give up the habit of con-
sidering Benedict Arnold the prince of traitors
the southern rascals have put HIM far In the
shade.
BURGLARY The store Of d. r. Cook
| ESQ, of Corinth, was broken into ON the night
| of the 25th ult., and three or four hundred

| of the goods were found in Connth; and or
Tuesday young man was arrested on the
