l5TH DIsTgIcr.-The Union Senatorial Con 7ention he'd las. week In WolcoKville, was largely attended, and although there ga. ap parehtly diversity of sentiment upon the question of a candidate to represent the Dis trict in the next Senate the nomination of 0, J. Hodge, Esq. of Colebrook, was made unan. lmous with the healtiest appreciation of all tho delegates present. Ar. Hodge. who was pres snt made very neat little speach ppon re- eelving the nomination, saying that hs pre- tumed the compliment was not 50 much nten= ded for him, as recognition of the services ot those old'!ine democrats, who, with hm,left the rotten hulk of Democracy at the outset of the rebellion, and came out to fight forever after under tho true Union aag This senti- nent was received with cheers.
 The nomination of Mir. Hodge we consider an excellent one. He was prominent mem Der of the House from Colebrook in 1862, and as his nomination is tantamount to an election, ~e congratulate the district aAon securing his services as Senator.
 The proceedings Of the Convention will be found upon the first page of this paper.
 hox. ANMl GIDDINas.-The nomination of thfs gentleman by the Union men of the 18th district, for tho position of State Senator, will be exceedingly gratifying to the friends of the Union throughout the State. Judge Giddings has once before represented the district in the Senate fn ls57') with marked ability. and two or three times has been member of the House Of Representatives. We have reason to bsIev" that this new honov wns entirely un- solicited by him, and tha. .he Union men of the district made their unanimous selection sOles on the ground of the gersonal merit and o.nes' Of their candidate. We hope to be a'io to chronicle his triumphant election on Tuesday week.

Come out fully to attend the District
Convention, on Thursday next. A strong
effort will be made to nominate new
man for member Of Congress- and If Bur-
lington influence can do it, Mr. Edmunds
will be the man nominated. We are in
favor of having to act for US in the coun-
ellis of the nation, till tho close OF this
war, men who have had the benefit of ex-
perience; and especially those who have
shown by their deeds, that they are men
for the times. If the voters of Lamollle
County wish to continue Mr.. Baxter, the
soldiers friend, in Congress, let them come
out en- mass, and secure his nomination.

CANADA GoLD DIGGINGs.-E. II. Keller,
of this town. has just returned from the
Chaudiare River gold country. and says
that he did not find sufficient encourage
ment to induce him to stay there. There
is much gold in the country, but at this
season of the year it is hard to be got at,
as the bed rock on which it is deposited
is very deep, and the intervening earth is
of clayey composition, and full of water,
with no prospect Of its being otherwise
for some weeks. A great many people
from all parts of the country are fiocklng
in there, bat are returning about as fast.
Later in the season the chance for doing a
good business would be much better

Quoting surplus on previous credits, accor.

be about 1900. In circular received
last night, the select men are urged to do
all in their power to enlist men in their
respective towns, to make up their several
quotas, and to providea surplus for future
calls. How ale you, select men of Spun
ky Lamoille?" Shall our county furnish
her quota in volunteers, or shall we have
a few more conscripts in the army? Con-
scripts fight pretty we'll, but they hate
awfully to 60.

consider our necessities, and pay up. Such &C
counts MUST be settled without delay. The
cost of paper has advanced so much that we
shall be compelled to give short credits. or none
a. all. and persons receiving these bills need not
be surprised if they are not further favored and
if they ail to take notice of this hint, they need
not wonder if they are reminded of their obliga-

be sent by mail at our risk. Enclose the money
with the bill, and direct to the NEwsDEAER, ard
receipt will be returned. We hope all our sub
scribers will bear in mind that ALL arrears are
charged at $l.5o, while advance payments are
only $l.25.

TEE END OF SLAVERY.

American writer's and speakers have
arrived at the point thank God y when
they can speak of Providence without
bushing or stammering 1t is not con-
sidered sign of womaply weakness, or
of bigoted superstition, now, to believe
that Supreme Being is directing the
historical developments of the nation,
and working out, through its gigantic ef-
forts and its stupendous sacrifices, His
own grand designs for the establishment of
justice and the rehabilitation of freedom in
the land. The blindest can now see that
the war in which we have been engaged
for the last three years has been pro-
cess of education, absolutely essential to
the ends which the Supreme Providence
has had in view. Without this hating,
this waiting, these blunders, these terri
BILE and often repeated Sacrifices, these dis
cussions, this weaving process that has
been going on between party pride and a
great system Of social wrong, slavery
could not, and would not, have been de-
stroyed. If we had been overwhelmingly
successful at the first battle of Bull Run,
and the rebellion had been conquered
then and there, We should not have had
virtue in the North sufficient to insist on
the destruction of slavery as condition
Of restoration and peace. The ten thou
sand adversities to which the nation has
been subjected have not yet entirely con-
verted it to practical faith in the creed
of which it boasts, and to which it was
bornr There are men in the North who
love slavery still, and who would gladly
see it restored to its position of leadership
in the national councils. How far we
are to suffer for these, in the future re-
mains to be seen but if they are wise
they will learn in time that they must
bend to the Supreme will, or be ground to
powder.
And if this long war,--with all its
disasters and discouragements--ha been
necessary to educate the North, it has also
been necessary for the utter exhaustion
and the irremediable destruction of tn,
slave power of the South. If the victory
had been early--oven if it had carried
with it the nominal destruction of tn,
slave system--it would have left formi
dable party, bent on revolution and re
venge. 1t was absolutely essential tina
the entire power of this oligarchy shoulc
be summoned into the field, and there for
lever defeated, there rendered utterl,
helpless and hopeless. We can see that
victory which would have left the sam,
