pITTLAND HERALD.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER ? 1884.



Among other equally conmendaoie
objects, the labors of those poiiuc'Ans
commonly known as copperheards, nave
nssu directed to fomenting jealousy
hatred and division between the Wes'e'"
and extreme Eastern or New Ens'Hnu
states. New England, OF COURSE was
trown to be for the Union' ior 'n0 "s
,n ,,s defense, for the support Oh tue Au-
n,,r,stra,iou in prosecuting the war;
""s. Lao, and all the time. 1t was con-
,tsutly sought to influence the states Oh
~. Great Northwest sgainst the admin
Location and the administration party
Nv ,yiling New England. and denounc'
mo her "puritsnism and fanaticism as
the cause OF the war. This was not only
aon, n the Western States themselves,
49,. oven by certain shameless men here
1. new England, who thus contributed
their pens and voices to blscken the
name and fame OF their own native or
adopted states. Conspiracies, leagues,
secret secession societies, were formed At
the West to further her alienation and
separation from the East.
All this is familiar, and 1t requires
only reference thereto, to call up in
the memory Of the reader, the long series
Of tremendous efforts made during the
last three years and up to the presiden-
tial election, by copperhead orators, cop
perhead newspapers and copperhead So
cietics, to divide the loyal states, help
the disloyal out of their troubles, and
kick New England out into the cold.
Now the presidential election was to
sum up the net profit to them OF their
extensive investments In this anti-New
England capital, and OF their desperate
" and unscrupulously energetic prose
cution of the copperhead business for
three years or SO thereon.
Behold the result; While in the mid
die states of New York and Pennsylva-
mia there is falling off from the Repub-
lican msjorities of 1850, the New Eng
land states show a gain Of $4,000 on
their majorities of that year, and there
Is Republican increase In the nine
Northwestern states of $50, 900. Thus
the Northwestern states far outstrip all
others in the increase of their popular
vote for the Union and for the support OF
the administration in the suppression OF
treason and rebellion. Light has even
penetrated to and spread over Egypt,
and the eighteen southern counties OF
Illinois, which In 1860 gave q, 38l Dem
ocratic votes to 5,439 Republican, or
about four to one, now give about one
thousand majority for Lincoln. The re-
suit, In few words, Is that where the
copperheads worked the hardest they
were as rule the worst defeated. And
the reason is that where they worked
the hardest they exhibited their true de.
signs in the strongest and clearest light
The Cincinnati Gazette speaks of this
grand gain on the Republican side in
the Northwestern states, and adds:
"I.et New England, therefore, under,
stand that the West must emphatically
declare that she cannot spare from the
great Continental Republic her genius
her science, her literature and her edu
cation, though her comparatively barren
soil Is of little worth"

On FRIDAY, NOV. 10th, offlcer SliaS war
rem arrested In Ludlow two men by the
names of W. w. Cook and W. B. Ten
ney as Migrants, thieves and deserters.
They had come into town in the morn
ing, and after lurking about for several
hours had got on board the stage for
Plymouth, when Silas appeared to them.
Cook was found to be armed with
sling shot, both had on bran new boots.
~..a ehpir valiSas -orn mod with
calico prints, webs of cotton cloth and
other articles. From letters found
about Il n, and still further from their
own statements and confessions, it ap-
pears that Cook belongs in Claremont,
N. H., that he deserted from the 9Th N.
II. about sixteen months ago and had
stolen two horses in New York; that
Tenney is brother-in-law of Cook, be-
longs in Windham, Vt, has deserted
twice from the army, the last time from
the 18th vt. heavy artillery, and has
formerly served term in the Windsor
State prison that these two have other
accomplices; that the goods found in
their possession were taken from store

Of q Mr.. Sheldon in Springfield, vt. A
young woman by the name of Salter

The proceeds of taxes raised upon the
Grand List of the year amount to $685.
853 16 which have been applied In pay
ment of expenses, extinguishing about
three fonrths of the expenses of the
year.
The increase of the State debt for the
current year is s233,447 81. A sum
much larger than the State tax, 1t Is es-
timated, has been raised by towns for
bounties to volunteers. This sum, If 1t
had been applied to the payment direct
ly of the State debt, would have extin-
guished 1t wholly.
The aggregate valuation of the per-
sonal and real estate as determined by
the Eighth Census, amounts to Sl22. 417,-
10 90, showing the debt about equal to
one and one third per cent, of the value
of the property of the State or taking
the estimate from the Grand List OF the
year, it will not exceed one and seven
tenths per cent.
There having been some misapprehen-
sion in regard to the Finances OF the
State. the Committee have deemed it
proper to furnish these particulars to
the Senate.
Upon examination of the financial re-
sources of the State, it has been found
that in the increase of population, and
in many of the branches of industry,
we are far behind the other New Eng
| land States. ..-...
The census OF the last decade furnish
es, by statistics, sharp contrast, and
exhibits more fully our relative condi-
| ton.
