The Woodstock Standard thus handsomely
endorses the suggestion of Gen. Stannard for
Representative Of the Third District. Copy
ing recent a,ticle from this paper stating
that the General Will gratefully accept the
position, the Standard says:
The suggestions Of the Free Press are al
wavs entitled 10 consideration, and although
we are not 60 directly interested in this
election as a citizen Of the Third District

for the standing of every district of Vermont

liberty to NIX in the contest. II one there Is

ablest Senator'S" as N action for false
warranty Of a horse has to the question oi
reconstrueting States and settling upon du-
rahle foundations the future of the Republic.
The great debates IN the Senate, and indeed
IN Congress, are upon questions that never,
in any Of their aspects came eiore our su-
preme courts, certainly not ON this sidc OF
the mountain, however 1t may be at Rut-
lard. The Presidents power, the rights OF
federal citizenship. the relations of the
States Of the federal government. the fnan-
eial problems before the country, the powers
and duties of Congress IN the rehabilitation
of the Southern Statos-these topics have
not been the - life work Of Judge Poland
as Judge, although he has douGless given
thought to them, as all intelligent men have,
in the last few months. We have no inclin-
alton to abatc anything from Judge Poland's
reputation-but when the Herald praises
him as a statesman, We think 1t must tie
from what it expects Of him, and not for
what he has done.
And We think the Herd,d trine too en-.
thusiastic, when it says Judge Poland "leap-
cd at a bound into a nation1l reputation.
We know conservative and johnson journals

this. Senator Edmunds, although several
months Judge POland'r Junior as a Senator,
won marked attention III the Senate before
Judge Poland's national reputation WAS
acquired The Herald is extremely sensi-

and it ought not, by e1trayagInt and over
strained culogy Of him. to provoke such
criticism Montpelier Freeman.
The Herald, in the article which Is in part
well replied to by the Freeman above, at

son between Judge Poland and slr Morrill,,
in respect t) early educa,ion. We are aware
OF no advantage which ync can claim over

academy. and thenceiorth cultivated bis

ness and distinction without the aid Of the
higher institutions Of learning, to which Sen
ator CollLmer and Senator Foot 4lwsys own
cd their great Indebtedness. The difference
IN their subsequent training was simply taIs,
that Mr. Poland's studies fitted him e,pec-
ally for the Bgici, while Mr. Morrill's CO.

A Doubtful RumOr.

1t was reported ON the streets yes
terday that in the present phase of
political affairs, it was confidently ex-
pected that Mr.. NIBLACK would with
draw in favor of Judge PITCHER, and
give the Judge a clear field against
Gen. HARROW for Congress. 1t is
claimed that the magnanimous exam
pie set by WooD and VALLANDIGHAM
is to be followed by Mr.. NIBLACK and
other peace Democrats throughout the
country, and that the Congressional
race is to be made by the especial
friends of the President, and those
who have a loyal record. Is not

Grand Ratification Meeting.

The great show is over. The Wig
wan has wagged out. The advice of
the wild Irishman, TRAIN, has in
part been followed Adjourn on
Thursday; Friday, and every day till
the Fall elections. all the delegates
make speeches for the National Union
party, thereby burying forever the
two offensive words, Democrat and
Republican, Now we would respect
fully suggest to the JOHNSON party in
Evansville that they at once call a
gand ratification meeting. Assuredly
the great event demands it, By all
means ratify. And to have the thing
pass off with eclat, we would recon-
mead that the JOHNSON organ, the
Courier, first take the matter in hand
and give it full Endorsement. Then
circulate petition among the JOHN
SON party in this county, and, in order
that it may have good effect, confne
it to the men who voted for JOHNSON
in 1864 And to show the great dis
affection in the. ranks of the Union
party in this city, exclude from the
platform all speakers except those
who in the last Presidential canvass
spoke for JOHNSON in the Union Wig
wan and throughout this county. IF
the Democratic party is to be buried,
and from its grave there is to rise a
great National party, which is to save
the Nation from the destruction
which is threatening it at the hands
of the Abofitionists, it certainly is an
occasion which demands public recog-l
milton. Come, then, friends of the
President, by all means ratify.

and without the smell of fire upon his
garments? And is not NIBLACK one
of these ''pestiferous fellows
whom the President says he
don't like, because he opposed the
war and the draft, and wanted to have
LINCOLN hung, and is guilty of other
reasonable acts? Itwould be moth
ing more than right and proper for Mr..
-NIBLAcK to do such a clever thing
for Judge PITCHER and the President.
And, then, if this great Rebel Union
Copperhead- War-Peace party is to
succeed, it should not divide its votes
and fritter away its strength on two
candidates. But if Mr.. NIBLACK is
obstinate in his determination to
make the race, he should make pub.
lie announcement of it at once, as it
appears to be generally conceded that
he will withraw. And we would sug-
gest that in making his determination
public, he choose some other channel
of publication than the Vincennes
Sun, as that sheet has fallen into dis
repute, since it's publication of his
challenge to the Unto. party, for a
dicussion of the living political issues
of the day.

Vallandigham closes his letter by saying
that the movement here organized has
every sympathy of his heart. 1913
At every mention of .Vallandigham's
name, the applause was tremendous.--A
Philadelphia Dispatch. 7'ii'o7 - .tr95i.
There was a tempest in the Copper
Johnson political sea, and this is the
way they throw the JONAH overheard.
The troubled waves at once become
placid, and there is smooth sailing.
But the blind is too palpable to hood
wink the people. While WooD and
VALLANDIGHAM withdraw, for the
sake of harmony, and not because
they disagree in sentiment and pur-
pose with. the ConYe1tionS all reports
agree that they were as influential In
controlling its action, as if they had
been present in the Wigwam asmem-
bers. VALLANDIGHAM, in his letter to
the Convention, states that he re-
ceived from the National Union
Committee letter of admission,
as delegate from Ohio, and
he quotes the resolution Of the
Ohio Democratic Delegation asserting
his rightto-a seat in the Convention,
and cordially indorsing the purity and
patriotism of his motives. OF all the
humbuggery of this humbug Conven-.
ton this : exclusion of the martyr
of the Democracy was the greatest,
even surprising the comedy enacted
by the delegates from Massachusetts,
and South Carolina. 1t is published
to the world, that this "pestiferous
fellow" as the President some time
ago styled him, has been excluded
from the Convention, yet there is no
truth in it. On the contrary, he is
recognized as a delegate by the recep-
ton of card of admission as such,
and is Endorsed in every respect by
the Ohio Delegation, by whose in flu
ence he is induced to absent himself,
not because he is unworthy, but in
order to blind and deceive the people.
And the Convention is informed over
his own signature that it has every
sympathy of his heart, and the mere
mention of his name is applauded to
the echo. The cheat is too apparent
even to deceive the most simple.

people were much gratiied to hear the
once familiar voice of this distin--
guished soldier and orator last night.
They recognizable gallant service he
has done his country in a four years

We are sorry to see him in such poor
health, but earnestly hope that he
may be able to address our citizens at
length before the campaign is over.

The immense outpouring last night

The immense outpouring last night
at the Court House was an appropri-
ate response to the Philadelphia Con-
yention. The thousands of loyal
people who came out to honor the
gallant Gen. WILLICH, send their
greetings to the President and his
Copperhead friends, and assure them
that not one of the friends of the
murdered LINCOLN of 1864 now falter
In their devotion to the cause of 10y
atty. The disorganizers will have to
look elsewhere than to Evansville for
disaffection in the Union ranks. A
campaign was never opened more au-
spiciously than last night. The ranks
are unbroken, and we will march
straight forward to victory in October.
