Vermont.

The Green Mountain State, "thc
star that never SETS" voted on the LIST
inst. for Governor and other State
officers, three Congressman, and a
State Legislature. Counting upon the
absence of many Republicans who are
in the army, the diminished interest
always inseparable from large MAORI
ties, and the little capital they could
make out Of the Draft. the Democratic
faction--a sort of mild copper article
were bold enough to undertake a
coup dctat; they canvassed the State
with an energy worthy of a good cause.
and left no stone unturned to make a
strong fight. Now mark the result.
Every State officer chosen is q Re-
publican, every Congressman is Re-
publican, every State Senator is Re-
publican, and Of more than fifty men,
bers of the Lower House heard from,
as we write, the Coppcrs have got just
t,co, and SO far only t,co towns have
given majorities on that side. Our
Congressman have majorities of 5000
to 5000. The vote is lighter than in
1860. but the relative proportions arc
about the same. The Democracy are
entitled to credit for perseverance
they have been trying to elect some
body in Vermont for twenty years,
and they have regularly and hope
lessly failed.

ChickasaW County.

The Republicans of Chickasaw
county have nominated Henry c. Vim
ton, Of Bradford, for Representative.
The New Hampton Courier says
Mr.. Vinton immigrated from Ohio
to this State about three years ago
and has since resided at Bradford
where he is esteemed as one of its
most worthy and energetic citizens.
He is fully identified with the interests
and prosperity of our county, having
invested literally of his means, ma
king agriculture his speciality. Mr..
Vinton is thorough scholar and bust
ness man, possessing bright intel
lect and polished manners, is every
way reliable, and if elected as our
Representative would earn for himself
bright record as legislator and re-
feet credit upon his constituency
His nomination was the spontaneous
tribute of the convention to his abi,i.
ty and many virtues as citizen, and
the loyal vote Of the county should he
a unit in his favor.

Penbina.

The number of "Pembina carts -
which have visited st. Paul this sea-
son is 275. The ST. Paul Press says
of the trade:
The carts generally bring down furs,
and in such quantities that $1,000
worth have been received in single
year. They take back such loads of
merchandise as they most need in
their settlement. Among these we
note groceries, such as teas, coffee,
sugar, spices, liquors and tobacco.
Dry goods-mostIy cloths, blankets
and readymade clothing hats, boots
and shoes. Tin, wooden and hollow
ware, stoves and other household ar
ticles are largely purchased. Powder
and lead, guns and tools are also sta
Piles with them, while drugs to some
extent. leather, nails and glass COM
plete the list. In farm and garden
implements the trade is large.
Flows, hoes, spades, forks, scythes,
and every other agricultural tool is
bought. Since about 1856 a number
of reaping machines have been taken
to Red river, and. more latterly, sew
ing machines are observed to figure.
Ii the average of past years holds
good this year, over $4,000 worth of
goods have been purchased by these
swarthy mortimer. One house alone
reports having sold them $44, 600
worth Of tobacco.

THE ISSUE AND OUR DUTY.

A single, but all important issue is
presented to the voters of this State
for their decision on the 18th day of
October. Shall Iowa give a cordial
and effective support to all the efforts
of the national Government to defeat
the rebel armies and suppress the re-
bellion? This is the question which
must and will be decided by the votes
cast for the Republican Union and the
Copperhead Democratic tickets respec-
lively. Messrs. futile, Duncombe and
Mason are the nominees and represen-
tatives of the political organization
which has by its platform distinctly
declared itself to be opposed to the
prosecution Of the war :" the only
qualification being that the whole poll
cy of the Government in relation to
the contiscation of rebel property, the
emancipation of the slaves of rebels
and the treatment of secessionists as
they deserve to be treated, shall be
entirely reversed. Two of these nomi-
nees have ever opposed erery effort of
the Government to subdue the rebel
lion. No two citizens of Iowa have a
record SO clear of all aid to or sympa-
thy with the war as Messrs. Duncombe
and Mason none have been more per-
sistent in their efforts to secure conces-
sions to traitors in arms and the degra-
dation of the nation by an ignomini-
Gus peace with rebels. They are and
have been from the very outbreak of
the war copperheads of the most veno-
nous kind.
On the other hand, Messrs. Stone,
Eastman and Dillon are the candidates
of that political party that has ever
devoted the whole of its influence and
energies to the work of crushing the
foes who seek the nations life The
platform on which they stand is loyal
in every plank and joint Individually
and collectively they have always
been for the Union and against trea-
son and secession. They deserve and
will receive the votes of every citizen
of Iowa who wants the voice Of this
State to echo to the blows dealt at re-
bellion by our gallant soldiers in the
field. But they also deserve and
should receive more than this. 1t is
the duty of every hater of rebellion in
Iowa to lcork as well as vote for these
representatives of loyalty and freedom.
This duty should be at once begun,
and, reader, by yoa. Begin the work
in your own neighborhood today. Let
meetings be called, newspapers circu-
lated, and the popular voice aroused.
With this, victory is sure, without it
we shall deserve and may have defeat.

Fire.

The dwelling house of Samuel Hack

or, in this village, was destroyed by
fire on Tuesday forenoon. The origin
of the FIRE is unknown. All the furni-
turc,. clothing. provisions, &C., were
destroyed with the house. The fami-

saved. Mr.. Hackley was at his Office
in the village. and Mrs. Hacklcy had
stepped into neighbours when the
fire broke out, and before any one
reached the house the flames had
made such progress that nothing oil
consequence could he saved. We
doubt not that the liberal charity, So
characteristic Of our citizens, on for.
mer occasions, will be promptly ex
tended to the present sufferers.

the contrast. A compliment which
