election draws near. On Tuesday. the 4th
Of September next, the frecmcn of Vermont
are to choose State and County officers and
Representatives to Congress. Nominations
have been made in most cases for all except
town representatives. In some towns eau
cuses are held TO nominate candidates for
representatives, and in others it is left to

atorial contest is decided by the nomination
Of Judge Poland that matter will not enter
into the canvass. 1t is now understood that
Mr.. Morrill, is to be Senator and Judge Po-

subjects Of importance that will come before
the Legislature, which will require sound
judgment, discretion, and the wisdom of ex-
perience to dispose of in proper manner.
1t therefore becomes the voters in every
town TO cast around and select their best
man for the place. Honesty, intelligence.
common sense, sound judgment, power TO
work, devotion to the public interest, and n
good degree of independence, are qualihca-

would be of essential service. We want our

Coy. Wells, of Louisiana, says of the
Louisiana Convention:
II had seen that, while protesting with
their lips renewed allegiance TO the flag and
an obliteration Of the past, which embobies
the pacific policy of the President they
were becoming arrogant, intolerant and
dietatoral. They glory in the apparent
schism between the President and Congress
in the policy of restoring the States lately
in rebellion, and rub their hands with de
light at the idea of civil war in the loyal
States. In view of all this array of strong.
stubborn facts, | freely acknowledge my
views Of conciatory policy, in turning
back to allegiance those who have been en-
gagged in war to destroy the Union, have
undergone a change. The intolerant spirit
engendered by slavery still exists. The loss
of property and the failure of hopes can
never be forgiven, and though | regard
them as impotent to resist the constituted
authority enforced by the presence of the
military, yet 1 am cOaciRced they rOuld re-

H'Ile New Orleans Ri0f.

Fuller particulars of this shameful occur
renee. which have come to hand during the
week, prove beyond doubt that it was the
result Of Il deep-laid plan to wreak ven
geance upon the free State leaders-the
tried and trusted Union men of the State
TO drive out all who dared to oppose the
plans of reconstructed rebels. and to restore
the power of the secessionists. The New
Orleans dailies justify the conduct of the
mayor and police, and incidentally, of the
mob that followed their official Lead but
even these papers, rebel as they are in
thought and expression. cannot but admit
that the police may have exceeded their
duties and that there is testimony of some
firing at prisoners that was both wanton.
and, us it appeared, unnecessary" If these
papers would but speak the truth. they
would lnrthcr admit, that every member Of
the convention might have been arrested
without struggle. without the shedding of
one drop of blood and that the riot"
whose record hlots these pages, was nothing
but Il cold-blooded and premeditated butch
cry of unarmed white men and half armed
freedmen. Mayor Monroe. under whose
auspices the butchery was prepared and
carried out, is confessedly us bitter n rebel
as when Gen. Butler sent him n prisoner to
the island, and the wholesome lesson there
received seems to have been entirely OBJ
liberated by the pardon and protection of
President Johnson. The Chef-of-Police.
Lucien Adams, is noted through the South

The Presidents pardon restored him TO
power and gave back to him his confscated
property. Andrew S. Heron, the Attorney
General of Louisiana, in whose hands the
President has practically placed the govern
ment, and under whose order he has placed
the military, was member OF the secession
convention of 1861. and an officer of the
rebel army; and, in like manner. every
other man who is in the confidence of the
President, or who is entrusted by him with
power seems to have won his title to that

THE SENATORsHuP ON TIE WEST SIDF
The Free Press of Monday says:-

Inc ffte iTeSS ol MONDAY says
We are authorized to state that Hon. John
Gregory Smith has notified Senator Ed
munds that he will in no case be candidate
for the United States Senatorship against
Mr., Edmunds, but that Mr. Edmunds will
have his cordial support, and that Of his
Gov Smith's) friends, for the position.
The persistency with which 1t has been
asserted that Gov. Smith was about to en-
ter the lists as a candidate against Mr.. Ed
munds, makes this announcement necessary
and proper. 1t settles the Senatorial ques-
ton for this side of the State as eflectually
as that on the other has been settled, and
ensures the election Of Mr.. Edmunds with
substantial unanimity.
We congratulate the Republicans of Yer
mont on a solution of these personal ques-
tons, in manner which secures the repre-
sentation of Vermont in the Senate by two
OF her ablest and most worthy sons, and en-
sures the harmony and supremacy of the
party.
