Three Traitors In Council. :.

We hare 1t on pretty reliable authority that
Vallandigham, Dan. Voorhees, and Fernando
Wood have been in conclaye at Niagara Falls
this week. Vallandisham left his ffee negro
quarters at Windsor and reached the Clifton
House on Friday last A little latter Vor-
hees, who is queer looking genius, regis
tered himself at the game hotel. During the
same day Fernando Wood arrived at the In
ternational Hotel, on the American side, and
secured parlor md suit Of rooms. The
parties kept perdu, to avoid suspicion, till
Sunday evening, when: Wood drove: across
the river in close carriage, curtains down,
and aoon after returned. After some hours,
and at time when honest folks are usually
in bed, the carriage returned to the Canada
side. It is conjectured that Wood crossed
the river and brought the Great Banished
and his faithful Friday to the International,
where, over their wi9e, they discussed and
perfected plans for future operations, after
which Wood sent his guests back to the
Clifton House in the close carriage. and as he
supposed, unobserved. Wood lefs the next

Macmillan Is not yet decided, notwithstand.
ing the contrary Is asserted By the Austrian
organ at Paris, the. -Memorial Dtpzonsatiqae.
The programme pointed out by ons Of the

is as follows: The Mexican Triumyirate will
be constituted provisional government for
one year, during which time peace may be
established throughout all the provinces, and

Vermont, for twenty years, has been
anti-Democratic, although the adverse fac
ton have been as untlring as Bruce's
spider, and gone through the forms Of
nomination and election with their men Of
straw as soberly as if they really expected
successful results. On Tuesday, that glo-
rious old Republican State achieved anoth-
er Of. its triumphs, resslting in the election
Of Republican Governor and State Off
cerR three Republican Congressman, Re-
publican State Senate, and the lower
house Of the Legislature Republican, with
the exception Of two Copperheads, who
somehow managed to survive and crawl
ont Of the wreck uninjured. Every town
In the State gives Republican majorities
but two. The. Copperheads, counting
upon the absence Of SO many Republicans
inthe army, and trying to make what capi-
tai they could out Of Northern Bastiles," !"
the Consc1iption, the unconstitutional
war" and other party catch-words, went
into the canvass, hoping at least to reduce
the plump Republican majority, for effect
in other States, and possibly Get formi-
dable minority in the Legislature, and one
OF the Congressmen. They left nothing
lndone which should secure that result.
