last week, Richard Busted, after q
speech in which he said he "never felt
so much confidence in the success of the
Union cause as at the present moment,
when the dignity and honor OF the Pres

principles Of her revolutionary fathers,

shown in manner not to be misunder-

larger than he had In the whole state last

less than was indicated by the returns
that first came in, but Is considerably
larger than was anticipated before the
election. 1t isa glorious result, and one
of which the Union men of Vermont can
wei be proud, A gain of three thou
sand on last years majority, won In the
face of Vermonts great sacrifices of the
past year, won in spite of all the appeals
of the copper element 10 every base and
selfish passion and interest, Is an en-

love which, as the result proves, grows

The New York Times In speaking Of
the significance of the Vermont and
Maine elections says
"They, vermont and Maine) have
both suffered from the war more than
most of the states-parlicularly YER
mont. That little state, on account of
the emigration of so many of its young
men to the cities and to the West, has
had to contribute larger proportion to
the armies and these soldiers, as the
records of the war show, have done
more extensive and severe fighting than
an equal number ofregiments from any
other Northern state. Nowhere has
death been carried to so many homes by
the destruction of this war The Maine
regiments, tco, have been among the
most active participants in the war, and
have greatly suffered. 1t Is no small
thing then that two states, thus indie
pendently situated, and thus subjected
to sacrifice, instead of wearying and
succumbing under the prolongatlon of
the war should exhibit sterner devo-
ton to 1t than ever.
The party which goes for a " cessa-
ton of hostilitics," is blind If it fails to
see in these first elections the sure indi-
cations of it's coming fate"
The soldiers from Vermont have suf-
fered go heavily, because they fight with
such glorious and unconquerable her.

Commissioner OF Pensions, has been
spending few weeks in recreation at
his old home, in Chester, Vt.
Since his accession to the Office In 1861
there have been received at the pension
Office about 81, 900 applications for inva-

applications for navy pensions. Total
114,000 claims. Yet, with this large
amount of business, the affairs Of the
office have been conducted with such
ability that we understand claims are
delayed in their settlement but very
short time, unless the records in the War
Department are defective, or claimants
themselves fail to furnish essential evil
