been weighed in the balance and was not
found wanting; therefore in justice to Mr..
Morrill, and for the good Of the common
wealth Of Vermont, let us elect him to that

ly said, negro josiled white man on the
sidewalk This is Of course untrue, or mere

the State Convention of the Republicans of
Louisiana; and it was done by force. Who,
then, were the mutderers The answer is
plain enough; they we're the men who hate
the Republicans they were the rebels, for
one set, and the copperheads and pewter
heads for another set--the men who will be
represented in Philadelphia, side by side with
the coppetheads of Vermont. Will Redfed
g. Co. take their bloody hands in friendly
grasp; We shall see. Now be it remem-
bered that the copperheads and pewter-heads
recently held their convention in New Orleans
to elect delegates to Philadelphia, and no
Republican ntetfered-nobody was shot
Then me the Republican Convention, and
it was broken up by murderous force

PEAr.-The N.Y.Trbune Of July 20 had a
very elaborate and valuable article on peat,
its uses and mode Of preparation.
l.. II. Goffand b. f. Rugg, Of St. Adams,
have purchased peat bed, just back Of Pros
pect Hill, about one mile and a half from that
village, containing some 25 or 80 acres, and
averaging 20 feet in depth. This bed has
been examined by Professor Hager, and is
said to be Of the very best quality, containing
by analysis only three per cent. Of ash. We
learn that Col. Jewett Of Swanton, and Mr.
SAKE of Highgate, have also purchased peat
bed, about one mile east Of Swanton Falls.
