This gentleman, in an address to his congitu-
ents has declined to be a clnidste for re election
70 Congress from the Second District OF Vermont,
which he has represented four consecutive terms.
At the close OF his third term he perempiory
declined a reelection, but bis constituents refused
to excuse him, and sent him back. We under
stand they intend to disregard his present refusal
and reeect him, and we trust they will do SO.
In this crisis, statesman like Mr.. Morrill,
able, experienced, tried and true upon all the
great pending Issues, belongs not so much 10
himself to bis District, or 10 his State, as to the
Republic at large.
A retired merchant oil sefacqured and varied
leaning and refined tastes, Independent ~ for
tune, placed above the temptations OF want Mr.
Morrill, has exhibited rare independence and pa'
iity IS public man.
lis talents, integrity, industry experience and
genial manners secured him large Influence in the
House and Departments and the respeC, Of even
his opponents. Not few Of the Lws placed on
the statute book IN the past eight years bear the
impress Of his clear aud practical mind. We will
mention two that owed their success mainly to his
efforts: the Agricultural College Bill whose bene-
tts, extending to the whole country and reaching
into far future, can scarcely be oyerestmaled,
and the Morrill, Tariff Bill, which has made hi,
name widely known in this and other countries.
A praotc,d and ready writer he was the author,
also, Of many impor ant committee reports AS
a speaker, talking only when occasion called for
speech, be argued with conc3eness and ability.
From his place in the Hou,e and Committee
room, he Was absent scarcely day. No public
man IN the last eight eyentlul wears, has perform
ed more hard work, or with more ability and f.
deity, than the member from the Second District
Of Vermont. Such a man, OF such a time as this,
can he i'll spared from the councils Of the Nation.
We are not unaware Of the sa rfce that in
somewhat impaired health, Mr.. Morrill, is now
called on to make, by postponing, for another
term, the realization OF a cherished desire for for
eign travel, aud by exchanging for the hardship,
and auxees Of office the rural pursuits Of let.
