attobious leadership b psrrhittsd to temain
We know Of no othsf plan than that Congress

ciple whereby protection i made co-extbnsive
with citizenship: We maintain that no btsts,
either by law OF legislation, can make transgres-
sion ON the rights of the citissn legitimate.
We demand, and ak you TO concur in de-
manding protection to every citissn of the great
Republic on the basis Of equality before the
laws and, further, that NO stats government
should DO recognised - legitimate under the
Constitution in 20 far as it does not by its or
ganic Law make impartial protection full and
complete.
Under the doctrine of state sovereignty, with
rebels in the foreground controlling southern
Legislatures and embittered by disappointment
in their schemes to destroy tho Union, there
will b no safety for the loyal element Of the
South. Our reliance for protection il now on
Congress, and the great Union party that has
stood and 10 standing by the nationality, by the
constitutional rights Of the oisissn, and by the
benifoent principles Of . free government.
For the purpose of bringing the loyal Union

Mr.. Poland's modification. The truth OF -
matter il that the calculations of s. the NORM
fuglers So in Washington county Here ooq
pletely upset BY the Strong Poland stFsnseA
developed at the county convention. =
If the fsmsi has ely dsiiirs 70 rive IL rad
ers accurate information respecting tho pre-
ferenoes of the Washington County oonven-
tion, it should ct once write down its " tx
cellent Washington county authority" either
as densely ignorant, or willful falsider. No
person who knows anything of the Rspubli-
can convention in this county. doubts for .
moment that almost every town in the county
was represented in the convention BY strong
Morrill, men, Mr.. Walton's first resolution,
sing ing out Mr.. Morrill, from our delegation
in Congress and thanking him for his eminent
services to the State and Nation, raised the IL
sue at once with tho Poland men. The few
persons of that class in tho convention cheered
MIR Hopkins, who attempted to kill the rsso-
luton BY inserting in it the names Of Messrs.
Woodbridge and Baxter. Messrs. Walton,
Willard and others urged the convention 70
reject tho amendment, upon the ground that
MIR. Morrill, vas Standing before the people OF
the State q a candidate for the Senate and it
was fit that those who admired him should
say so. The Poland strength in the conven-
ton was ssrikingly developed by tho vote upon
the amendment, it being defeated BY At least
twenty to one. After that demonstration
the Poland fuglers subsided entirely. We
don't know of q town except Montpelier which
had Poland delegation in the convention.
Now we ask the Times to do just two things,
ia justice to the Republicans of this county
as well as for the information of its readers,
viz publish the above statement, and also
give the name or names Of its " excellent
Washington county authority" When it
has done 30, we will be quite content to leave
its readers 30 judge OF the comparative relia-
bllity of the two statements.

The TARIFF BnL-Final action was taken
in the House on the Tariff Bill last Tuesday.
I" Perley thus .elegraphsd the Boston 10 u-
nal respecting it:
The House presented an animated scene all
day. On the floor was . full attendance of
members, Wit quite a number Of Senators and
other privileged persons; while among the
crowds in the galleries We're many manufactur-
ers whose fortunes depended on the result
No time was wasted in the customary morning
business, and Mr.. Wentworth commenced the
days debate by labored argument in favor Of
developing and protecting the agricultural in
terests of the country.
Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont, said the bill had
been changed and made different from what he
had hoped and expected, but he would not now
turn his back upon it, but trusted some changes
would be effected in the Senate.
The amendments having been disposed of,
and the bill perfected, tho attempts to defeat
its passage by parliamentary dodges were COM
menced. But Mr.. Morrill, was not to be foiled,
and after the usual exciting pre- lminary strug-
gle which invariably attends the passage of any
important measure, the bill was passed by a
vote Of 81 yeas to IS nays.
The New England delegation voted solid for
the bill. There were 26 Republicans voted
az ainst this bill, mostly western members. Six
Democrats voted for the bill. The delegations
from Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa were
all in the negative.
The bill was sent to the Senate, and that
body, Thursday, by vote of % to II, post
poned action upon 1t until next December.
Three New England Senators, Sumner and
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, and Foster, OF Con-
necticut, voted for the postponement. The
Vermont Senators voted against the postpone
ment This action Of tho Senate practically
kills the BILL as it is evident that, in its present
shape, and as the Senate is now constituted, it
cannot pass that body. The frse-traders are
accordingly jubilant over the result, and our
people will still pay, as they have done, their
gold, and their gold-bearing bonds, abroad to
build up and strengthen the manufacturers OF
England.
When the collapse comes, a. it must come
under our excessive importations sooner or
later, and commercial ruin ovsrtakes the coun-
try, as it has done from similar causes hereto
fore, the people may see the necessity Of apply
ing the remedy with sufficient clsarness to in
struot their Senators and Representatives to
legislate for the interests of this country, and
not for the benefit Of the fres-tradeTs of Eu-
rope.
Mr.. Morrill,, from the Committee of WAYS
and Means. reported, Saturday, another bill
partially revising the tariff, and containing a
few of the more essential features of the bill
postponed BY the Senate, in the hope that the
Senate will not persist in resisting ievery effor,
to revise the tszif the present session.

A Card.

L. 8. Emery, of Bethel, Vermont, touches
his hat TO the editor of the Burling ton ISmes,
in acknowledgement of the polite attention
which that paper has condescended to bestow
upon " one Emery of Bethel, a lowest grade
clerk in the Quartermasters Department, u
and takes pleasure in informing him that the
article referred to is an unmitigsted-mis-
take. The FRnEnAk's correspondent W."
is not one Emery, of Bethel" Mr.. Emery
would also suggest to the man of the 7smes,
the propriety of assuring himself of the truth
of statements of . personoI nature, before al
lowing them . place in the columns of biz
journal. No compensation asked for thia
hint.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington, July IA, 1866. {
SIN {: Your resignation Of the Office OF Post
master-General rendered in your letter of the
18th inst, 10 hereby accepted. Fully sPpreci-
ating your kind assurance of personal regard,
am very truly and respectfully yours,
(Signed) ANDRE JOHNSON.
To Hon. VIM. Dennison, Postmaster, Sc.
Since Mr.. Dsnnison's letter to Mr. Rollins,
of New Hampshire, last spring, in which Mr..
d. affirmed in the strongest possible terms his
devotion to the Union party, his remaining in
the Cabinet has excited hope that the Presi-
dent was not determined to hasten an open
rupture with the party which elected him.
Indeed, Mr.. Dennison in a speech, at the time
the Cabinet were serenaded, expressed a con-
fden, expectation that Congress and the Pres
ident would yet come into q good understand
ing, and work together harmoniously.
Mr. Dsnnison now contesses that he has too
mildly and hopefully judged MIR. johnson. and.
finding that he must part company with the
President or the great Republican party Of the
country, he has wisely and patriotically lett The
Cabinet, and taken his place again in the ranks
to fight the Republican battle of liberty with
bis old comrades in Ohio. His resignation will
no doubt be speedily followed by those of SEQ
rotary Harlan and Attorney Gen. Speed. Sew
ard and Welles, having left the Republican
party and united ther fortunes with Johnson,
will, Of course, remain. Stanton occupies an
equivocal position, and it is not certain what he
will do. A. w. Randall. now Assistant Post
master Gen., and Chief of the bread and-but-
ter brigade which is shortly to assemble in
Philadelphia, has been nominated to the vacan-
cy created by Mr.. Dennison's resignation. He
has earned the place much as Arnold earned
bis commission in the British army nearly nine
sy years ago.
We welcome this act of Mr.. Dennison a.
evidence that the President has at least given
up the effort to secretly debauch the Republi-
can party, and has become SO open in his de-
nuncistion Of every earnest Republican measure
a. to render bis position of hostility to Repub-
lican principles no longer doubtful-in other
words, Mr.. johnson has openly gone over to
the Democrats. II any body desires to follow
him into his new company, We only ask them
to do 80 decently-not go with one foot and
stay with the other, not stand upon the order
Of their going, but 60 at once. Let US not
hear from Republicans any more expressions of
confidence in Mr.. johnson. He has commit
ted himself to this Philadelphia Convention,
gotten up BY conspiracy between the Ran
dslls, Doolittles, Cowans and Weeds on the
one hand, and the Niblacks, Hendricks, Shark
eys and Ssymours on the other, to overthrow
and break up the Union Republican party of
the country. Every Democrat and every rebel
welcome him - their bensfaotor aud ally and
We trust no Republican will hereafter be found
inclined to palliass or apologize for his great
political crime.

The Cabinet Rupture.
The long deferred cabinet rupture has come
at last, a. will appear by the following CORES
pondencs

WASHINGTON, July IL.
Sin have the honor to tender you here
with my resignation of the Office of Postmaster
General, to take effect upon your notifying me
Of it, acceptance. In thus Withdrawing from
your cabine, it is proper to say that l do it
chiefly because Of the difference between US
in regard to the proposed amendment of the
Constitution, which approve, and the move
ment for the Convention to be held at Phila-
delphia on the 14th proximo, to which l am
opposed. My confidence in the patriotism of
the Union Republican party is such that am
convinced that upon its permanent control of
the Government depends in large measure the
peace and happiness Of the country, and that it
will not permit Of my holding an equivocal at
titude in respect to it. Assuring you of my
personal regard and appreciation of the uniform
courtesy have received from you,
am, very respectfully, yours, So,
(Signed) w. DRNNIsoN.

Democratic Treatment Of Gen.
Grant.


OF late, since the Democratic party have
found that they cannot make Gen. Grant u
plant instrument to serve their purposes,
some of their papers are covertly and others
openly denouncing him. The La Crosse Dem
o~dt, one of the leading papers of the Demo-
cratic party in Wisconsin, makes q furious
onslaught upon Gen. Grant, of whom it speake
as follows:
- All, but old dog of Galens, your teeth
are gone, and, as the age of miracles has
passed away, you are not likely to grow a new
set right away. What an aspiration for a
man by whose orders the torch swept the fair
and beautiful Shenandoah /! Nero iddl.ng
dancing and revealing over the wreck OF burn
ing, did not ask another Rome to satiate his
passions but Gen. Grant, who planned deeds,
and caused, by bis agents, horrors at which
the civilized world stood aghast, is dissatisfied
because the war did not last year longer,
that be might have used the persuasive agen-
cies OF the torch, rape, pillage and murder,
upon portions of the South still unvisited.''
The Democrat hos also this other choice bit
of rIbald deuunciation of the hero of Vicks-
burg and Richmond
We shall expect to hear presently that
Grant has started a negro harem, he exhibits
such partial fondnese for The colored folks. y
1t has been said that negroes cannot be raised
to an equality with the whites, but We do not
think they would have to be elevated much to
be the equal of Grant. He has taken such
pains to lower and disgrace himself of late,
that the result would be easily accomplished,
If it is not already.
The same paper, of course, eulogizes Davis
as pure statesman and a suffering patriot,
praises johnson, and goes in for the Philadel-
phia Convention.
