Onr attention has of Late heen most forci-

Our attention has of late been most forci-
bly, called to this subject by reading the pro-
ceedings of the last Philadelphia Conven-
ton. Though we cordially respond to most
that was there said and done, and though
we think much good will come from the ac-
ton of that body, and believe that the COM
ing together of Southern and Northern I'm
ion loyal men, and of comforting together,
will encourage and strengthen the great
Union party of the country, yet we cannot
approve the timid and time-serving course
advocated by some who were there. 1t
seems that the delegates from the Gulf
States were earnest and outspoken for i'm
partial suffrage. They would put the bal
lot into the hand of the black man on the
same conditions as into the hand of the white
man. There should be no distinction in re-
spect of race or color in this matter. As the
blacks had proved themselves loyal, and
friends to the government, and lent their aid
in putting down the rebellion, they are en-
titled to all the privileges of loyal citizens.
This is substantially the ground those dele
gates took in the Convention. But with
grief we say it, they were opposed, not only
by delegates from the border States, but by
delegates from the Northern States, even
New England. These men opposed making
this just and righteous measure part of the
platform of the Convention, opposed its
taking place among the declared principles
of the Convention. And why? Because it
was not just, and true, and right? Oh, mol
Because they were afraid of the effect it
would have on the approaching elections.
They feared a loss of votes to the great par
=, mainly Ill ttO Iignt; the party that has
put down the rebellion and saved the coun-
try. They were ready to postpone the ev-
crlasting right the eternal justice, for the
sake of supposed present success. They
dared not trust the instinct of justice plant
ed in the hearts of the great mass of the
people. They lacked faith, they wanted
courage, they dared not do right. And most
eloquently were they rebuked by Anna
Dickinson, who made a thrilling speech on
the occasion; a speech that must have bro't
the blush Of shame to many coward S
check in that assembly.
We suppose those men thought they were
doing the best that could be done under the
circumstances by passing over in silence
this great thing. We are sorry they were
so lacking in courage to do and to say what
in their heart of hearts they knew to be just
and right. If we would succeed in the great
struggle now pending, we must plant our
selves firmly on the rock of eternal truth, OF
immutable justice of the everlasting right
and then and then only may we hope fol
final success. The only way for individuals
or nations to secure their highest welfare is
to place themselves in harmony with the
laws of the Infinite Ruler, and to strive tc
live in accordance with those laws with all
the energies of their nature.

The Next Legislature.

In addition to the ordinary business of the
business of the Legislature two Senators
are to be elected at the coming session. But
the matter is in such a shape that this will
be done without spending much time. 1t is
generally understood that Mr. Edmunds is
to be chosen successor to Senator Foot, that
Judge Poland will be appointed to fill the
place of Judge Collamer for the remainder
of the term ending next March, and that Mr..
Morrill, will be chosen for the term of six
years next following.
The subject of re-chartering the company
to build a railroad from Montpelier to New
port will come before the Legislature; also
we suppose the forming of new county by
taking several towns from the northern part
of this county and several from the southern
part Of Windsor county. We trust this
project will be postponed, or if brought for
ward will not succeed. We can see no good
reason for dividing Windham county. To
be sure some of the northern tier of towns
might in some respects be better accommo-
dated by having the county seat nearer, or
more accessible; still the county is none too
large as it is, there will be an additional ex-
pensc in making new county, which at this
time should be avoided. Besides if a new
county should be formed there will evidently
be an effort to remove the county buildings
to this place, which also would MAKE an "u-
ultlUnaI UIlaJ ought fOr the present at
least to be avoided. And so we devoutly
hope that the subject of a new county, and
the subject Of removing the county buildings
from Newfane to Brattleboro will be post
poned. 1t is a good practical maxim to let
well enough alone.
We understand that a proposition will be
made to establish Normal School, a school
for the specific purpose of training and edu-
eating teachers. Such schools have become
common in several of the States, and have
been found highly beneficial in fitting young
men and young women for the better and
more successful discharge Of their duties as
instructors in our common schools. We
have also heard that the trustees or manag-
ers of the Academy at Randolph will offer
the use of their grounds and buildings gra-
tuitously to the State for this purpose; if so
the expense will be but trihing compared
with the benefits that may reasonably be
expected to result to the public from the es-
tablishing and right managing of such an
institution. The influence Of Vermont in
the country and in our national councils is to
come mainly from the intelligence, the 10y
atty and the integrity of her people, and
these depend in a very great degree on our
primary and higher schools, academies and
colleges; hence our whole system Of educa-
ton in the State should be cherished and en-
couraged as of the first importance. We
regard the project of the establishment of a
Normal School with great favor, and wish
it success.

With profound surprise and grief, we
have read Mr.. Beechcr's letter to the Ceve=
land Convention, Would to God it needed no
other commentary in this Journal than
respectful silence But Il sense of duty CON
strains us to accompany its publication with
n solemn protest against the public course
to which it commits its author. This letter
quenches our last hope that Mr. Bccchcr
was to unite with the friends. instead of the
enemies. of his country. We know and love
him well. No mans motives are purer
no man more ailectionately reveres his ma
tive land. But, under the spell of an nm
happy blindness which has rested on his
eyes for year past, he has done more in
jury to the American Republic than has
been done by any other citizens except An
drew johnson. We had secretly cherished
the conviction that Mr.. Beecher during his
last few months Of silence concerning public
affairs. had been Il sad and thoughtful wit
ness Of the mis- chievous policy of the Presi-
dent. We could not force our mind to be-
lieyc that, in the great civil struggles of the
approaching autumn, the minister of Ply
mouth Church would he found on the side
of Clement l.. Fallandgham. the pirate
Semmcs. and the murdcrcrs at New Or
men of course, his letter is in Il loftor and
purcr strain than the common tone of Cop
perhcad politics but the humliating fact
remains that Mr.. Bccchcr. deliberately and
officially. under his hand and seal. has en-
tered into league and covenant with the
Johnson party 80 party whose only hope
of victory is by league of traitors against
loyal men. This is Mr.. Bcccher's position
1t is solemn hour for the nation.-"Hc
that is not for Us is against US" BY Mr..
Beechers past record, by his inherent sym
patty with universal liberty. by his ancient
scorn of treachcry in public men, he be-
longs TO the loyal party from whom, like
sell-dishonOrcd leader. ne has become Il
voluntary desertcr. Mr.. Beccher's public
attitude at the present moment is the att-
tude of a man who is putting great repu-
tation to the iCnoble use of dcbasing his
country. If, in view of this awful fact. this
journal were to lend through silence seem
ing acquiescence, or even an implied pallia-
ton, we would justly be held an accomplicc
in the guilt. Since the occasion, therefore.
compcs us to speak. we have no other al
tentative than to choose the strongest posi-
bic words of condemnation. We have only
to add that il any of Mr.. Bccchcr's friends.
or of our own, shall feel pain at reading
this protest let them imagine the greater
pain of writing it.-LldepHdct.

Signs.

What of the signs of the times? Whittier
are we drifting? Is Johnson and his policy
and party to prevail? or will the great I'm
ion Republican party, and the measures they
advocate, the course pursued by the major
ity in Congress, gain the ascendency? We
think the present prospect is greatly in favor
of the latter. The current is strongly set
ting in that direction. There is no mistak-
ing the omens. The popular voice of Yer
mont, echoed by Maine in the recent cleo
lions foretells what is coming in the elections
soon to follow The ratification Of the Con-
stitutional amendment by the Legislature of
New Jersey, the strong Republican ticket
nominated in New York, and the spirited
harmonious action of the Convention when
the nomination was made the earnest speech
& determined spirit of the recent Convention
of loyalists at Philadelphia, and the enthu-
siam with which those delegates are greeted
who have visited Northern cities; the dis
appreciation expressed at the Presidents
conduct and language on his late excursion
the severe criticisms pronounced upon Mr.
Beecher's letter, and the decided stand re-
Gently taken by the New York Herald
against Mr.. johnson and his policy, and in
favor of that proposed by Congress, all show
in what direction the popular current is tend
ing, and are bright foregleams of what We
may expect in the months which are tp fol-
low. Such outrages as that at New Orleans
on the Both of July last, perpetrated by those
in authority, winked at if not directly en-
couraged by the President, and not con-
demned by his nearest friends; the murder
ers and assassins as yet unpublished; the
dismissing of men from Office who voted fol
Lincoln and johnson and putting in their
place those who opposed these men, and who
sympathized with the rebels; the dark and
ominous hints thrown out by the President
in some of his speeches and echoed by not 4
few Of the copperhead papers; the unseemly
attacks made by johnson on a coordinate
branch of the government, are having pow.
erful effect in arousing the energy Of Loyal
men both North and South, and of bringing
into disoredit both the party of Andrew
johnson and the measures he advocates. In
fact his policy is not only an utter failure, il
is becoming hateful to the great mass Of
sensible, loyal citizens. We regret exceed
ngly that the President has chosen to pur.
sue a course so fatal to his own honor, and
so hurtful to the common welfare, and with
out any personal ill-wll to him, we are bound
to opposehis policy and his wicked and fool
ish course with all the earnestness we arr
capable of, hoping that he may see the prcc
ipice towards which he is rushing in time t.
nYoid the fatal plunge.

BE Right.

II had rather be right than be President
are the noble words once uttered by Henry
Clay. Had all our statesmen acted upon
the principle here enunciated, many dollar
would have been saved, many precious life
spared, and many public calamity avoided
But alas! how slow we are to learn that the
right way is the only safe way. How often
do men esteemed intelligent, men who hold
high places in the land, men who are looked
up to as guides and leaders, sacrifice the
right, the eternal and unchangng right, for
expediency, or short-sighted policy? If the
past history of our nation does not teach us
the folly of ignoring the right, we know not
what can teach us. If we are still so blind
as not to see the ineflable madness of sacri-
ficing right, truth, justice, for any temporary
or partisan ends, we know not what will suf-
Gle to open our eyes to the light

partment should be prepared to furnish MS
much information pertinent to the subject as
can be obtained and collected within the
limited time available for the necessary in
vestigation. You are, therefore, hereby in
structed to give the subject Of the revision
of the tariff especial attention, and TO re-
port bill which, if approved by Congress,
will be a substitute for all acts imposing
customs duties, and which will render the
administration of this branch Of the rcye-
nue. system more simple, economical and ef-
leclivc. In the discharge of this duty you
VIII consider the necessity of providing for
u large, certain and permanent revenue,
keeping in view the fact that the existing
tarlll mas proved most elective in this direc-
toh' on WIN therefore endcavor, first to
secure Tor the Government a revenue COM
mensuratc with its necessities and secondly.
topropose such notifications of the tarilf
laws now in force a. will better ad;nst and
equalizc the duty upon foreign imp6rts with
the internal taxes upon home productions.
If this last result can be obtained without
detriment to the revenue by reducing thc
taxation upon raw materials and the ma
chinery of home production rather than Inv
increasing the rates of imports, it would in
my opinion by decreasing the cost of pro-
duction and increasing the producing pow
er of wages, greatly promote the interests
of the whole country. In the prosecution
of this work you are authorized to call up
on any officers of the revenue for such nfor-
nation as you may require and he may be
able to furnish.
