change has come over our country and our
State. The rebellion is crushed-the war is
over--peace has returned, and we are not in
danger at present of "raids" from Canada, or
any other quarter. And now we must direct
our attention to the modification of our militia
ry system, so as to adapt it to the altered con-
dition of things. We have heavy burden of
taxes imposed upon us by the war; retrench-
ment Of all unnecessary expenses should be in
sisted on, while all that is necessary for our
security now and in the future, should be hero
icoy borne. That some military organization
is still needed, few, if any. will deny. If every
State has an organization of its able-bodied
men, such that they can be at once summoned
to service in case of an emergency, il will be a
powerful safeguard against insults or attacks
from foreign nations, and guaranty against
domestic instruction or violence. But that
organization should incur the least possible ex-
pense compatible with the objects to be effected.
The details of such an organization we are not
competent to give. We have men in the State
who can, and men elected to the legislature
soon to convene, who are also able to do it.
What we ask for, and what we believe the in
telligent people of Vermont generally, ask for,
is simple, inexpensive organization of all or
a portion of our able-bodied men of military
AEGEAN organization of men so constituted
and so provided with arms that they may be
called into service on short notice il necessary,
emitting expensive drills and musters; believ-
ing that when called out and properly equipped,
men will learn under the charge of competent
officers all that is necessary to make them eff
fective soldiers on the battlefield in very
short space of time, especially if imminent dan
ger is present to stimulante them. Trusting
to the wisdom and good sense Of the men whom
we have chosen TO our Legislature, we feel quite
confident they will do the right thing, and give
us militia law suited to the present condition
of our State and country.

NoTE OF CoNNECTICUT.-The recent vote in
Connecticut, respecting amending the constitu-
ton of the state so rs to allow negroes 10 vote.
striking out the word white and thus making
no distinction of color, has resulted adversely
to the black race. The democrats were quite
unanimous in voting against the amendment
and portion of the republicans went with
them thus ignoring democratic ideas, and dis
regarding the genius Of republican institutions,
bringing deep disgrace upon themselves, and
shame 10 New England, placing stumbling
block in the way of progress, and rearding the
advancement Of Christian civilization.
Shame on such disregard of moral principle.
and Christian craftsmanship, shame on such ut
ter ignorance of democratic ideas. How nef-
fably mean to ask the negro race 10 assist US
in quelling the rebellion, and now that danger
is over, deny them right to which they are
as much entitled as we, and while doing this
base act, con,radicting our oft repeated decar-
ations, and acting in opposition TO our pro-
fessed principles.
