We fought certainly not for lndcpen-

am satisfied now, was n foolish one
The idea was that the "Yankaes" were
all abolition;sts, and that they wished
to deprive us Of our rights as slavehoi-
ders. Time and intercourse with those
same "Yanks" have convinced US OF
the error Of that idea. - '"' :,

and did all that men could do, and q.

Give Employment to our Returned
Soldiers,

The only dread that our brave vol
unteers feel, before being mustered out
is, that, on returning to the civil walks
of life, they viii be unable to find en-
ployment and earn livelihood. "All
Tie places are full, ",they say, and
what will there; be for us to do? how
shall we be able to earn our support?
This is a matter of great Importance,
and one which should be considered
by all persons having employment to
give. Nearly all these soldiers, when
they enlisted, left positions in which
tney earned good whges -clerkships in
offices or stores Dir desirable situations
as meehsnics, artisans and 'laborers.-r
Having been absent as the defenders OF
the nation, and having, by defeating
and subduing the nations eDemies,pre-
serves all that is dear and precious to
us in lifc-our homes, our property,
and the means of continued prosperity
it is not too much for the discharged
soldiers to expect, that they be given
the sanie opportunity now to do well
that they enjoyed before they enlisted
In the service.
As it is, we owe them much moro
than we can ever. repay, and employers
ought at least to be sufficiently mindful
and considerate towards them to show
them the preference when they have
employment to give which the returned
soldiers are qualified to accept and per-
form. ynf ~
-. 1t would be ungrateful and cruel ~
their fellow countrymen to turn the
"cold shoulder" upon these men now
and leave them to spend the money
they have received from the paymastei
in idleness, for lack of remunerative
employment which they are able ano
willing to perform, and which is in oul
power to secure for them. Most %
them are worthy and deserving mer
outside of their soldierly services
They are capable of filling elerkship'
are good mechanics-are indeed jus
what they were before they joined tn
army, only stronger armed and will
stouter hearts in their breasts.
I We doubt not that many wonld Civ
these returned veterans remunerativ
employment at which they could earl
good wages and be enabled to live hon
orably and respectfully in the future
if they were only to be reminded of th
duty and Importance of doing so.-
And.hence we present these thought
at this time, trusting that they will re
ceive the attention that they deserv
from our fellow citizens. We must re
! member that hundreds of thousand
these soldiers are now being returne
to the quiet walks Of private life . an
we must remember, too, that the bes
way to make. as good citizens as the
have proved good soldiers, i, to Civ
them employment and accord to thel
that position amongst us (which, b
;, hard service in the nations cause, the
have so richly deserved. Let US tai
care of our noble soldiers, help then
encourage them, honor them. This
not less the dictate Of patriotism tina
of duty. ~ yluoG

Sketch of Schuyler Colfax.

The following is from the pen OF
Samuel Bowles, Esq, editor OF the
spring gfeld Republieon, and one OF Mr:
Colfax's companions on his overland
trim TO the Pacific coast: "As public
man, everybody knows about MIR. Col

how. by virtue Of his experience, ability
and popularity, he has come to be

statesmen. But this is not all, nor the
best Of the man. He is not one OF
those, Ito whom distance lends
enchantment he grows near to you, as
Won get near to him; and it is, indeed,
by his personal qualities of character,
by his simplicity, frankness, genuine
good nature, and entire dcvotedness to
what he considers right, that he has
principally gained and holds so large a
place in the public arena. MIR: CoifaI

hair and light blue eyes, is childless
widower, drinks no intoxicating liquors,

knot; was bred printer and editor,
but gave up the business for public life,
and is the idol of South Bend and all
adiaccncies. There are no rough points
about him : kindness is the law OF his
nature while he is neEerl backward IL

his views by arguments and by votes
he never is personally harsh In utter

THURSDAY, MAY is, 1865.
The state Convention.

We are informed that the neXt Annual
Convention for the nomination oil STATE
Officers Is TO be held at Montpelier,
Whether the time has been decided upon
by the State Committee, we have not yet
learned, but we presume the convention
will be held sometime next month IL
is natural therefore that considerable
public interest should already be mani
tested as to its action.
But two candidates have been men
toned for the gubernatorial nomination
viz; Gov. Smith and 1t. Gov. billing
ham. Duties of unprecedented import
ance and difficulty have devolved upon
the Executive department Of the State
government in the few years past, and
Gov. Smith by his prompt, able and i'm
martial discharge of those duties has en-
titled himself to the appreciation and
thanks of the people. He has exhibited
such energy, practical ability, and con-
trolling interest in the welfare Of the
State, as not only have been most cred
liable to himself and beneficial to the
people, but have contributed in no small
degree to the proud record of Vermont
In the war now happily closed, for the
Union. Some have therefore been de-
sirous that the custom of nominating
new man every two years should be dls-
pensed with, and that Gov. Smith, who
has served us so faithfully for the two
years past should be reelected for a
third term. Gov. Smith, however,
does not give his consent to any attempt
to break over a custom which has grown
into established favor, and declines to
become a candidate for denomination by
the convention. Under these circum-
stances, 1t. Gov. Dillingham; is the man
who should and will be selected to sue
coed him, and the selection will be
made with complete and gratifying
unanimity. An eminent lawyer, an eX-
perienced legislator and courteous and
upright citizen the people of the State
know Paul Dillingham; to be, but he is
furthermore one of those men whom
Vermont especially delights to honor
one of those men who from the outset
of the national struggle against gigan-
tic treason have set country above par
ty and given an unhesitating and patri-
ic support to the cause of loyalty, free
dom and right. That he will be the
choice of the whole people as well as Of
the convention there is no doubt.
With regard to the offices of Lieuten-
ant Governor and State Treasurer we
shall take occasion to say something
hereafter.

SLAVERY IN KENTUcKY.-The Louis
vile Journal, of Monday, in an elabor-
ate editorial entitled, can Open Letter
to the People Of Kentucky" closes as
follows:
"The time has come for at once cut
ting up by the roots the upas tree which,
for more than half a century, has pois-
oned our prosperity and retarded that
growth of public spirit which its whole
Development requires. Let the people,
therefore, cast aside the fossilized poll
tician who would impede their progress
in the broad path of destiny which
opens before them. And to this end, let
them in August next elect no man to
the General Assembly of the State, who
will not pledge himself to the immedi-
ate and unconditional ratification of the
constitutional amendment"
