Equal Senatorial Representa-
ton,

Inc Copperheads, Johnsonists and unrecon-
structed rebels seem to find some comfort in
threatening New Eng land-if that portion of
the Union does not cease its demand for
equal rights and stop its efforts to amend the
Constitution to that end-with constitutional
amendment depriving New England Of It's
present weight in the United States Senate, by
providing that Senators, like Representatives,
shall be apportioned according to population.
These threats are not, to be surs, accompanied
with m entirely lucid explanation of the meth
cd OF accomplishing this result without the
consent of the New England States,-the pres
ent Constitution providing, that mo State
shall be deprived of its equal representation in
the Senate tcathout IFS o,0n consent" not even
by an amendment to the Constitution-and are
not, therefore, calculated to frighten any one
but the exceedingly simple and timid. More
over, some writer has taken the trouble to con-
suit the census, compare populations and esti-
mate the probability that the South would be
likely to cut off its nose to spite New Eng land,
if it had the power, and has come to this
conclusion:
"The South has, under the Constitution as
il is. and as it will remain after the pending
amendment is ratified, thirty two Senators for
a white population, which, under the census of
1860, was S.036, 700-that is one Senator TO
every 25l, 147 white Inhabitants. Tne New
England States contained at the time
3,110,4S0 white inh7 bitants, besides 16,0S4
free colored people in the five States (sll but
Connecticut), in which they enjoy the franchise,
making an aggregate of 8, l26 564, which pop
uation is represented by twelve Senators, or
one to every goo, 547, while leaving the black S
out of account, every New Engla Senator
represents 259,266 white persons-that is each
of them, on an average, eight thousand and
ffty-nine more persons than each Southern
Senator.
1t thus appears that any proposition to lessen
the vote of New Eogland in the Senate, would
diminish also the strength of these rebel
States, and neither rebels nor copperheads
would be in haste, even if they had the power,
to attempt such work.

An Accusation Demanding an
Answer.
The .bgus of last week mas the following :

The .argus Of last week mas the following -
At Washington MIR. W Woodbridge is reckon
ed as opposed to negro suffrage, and an adhe-
rent of the Administration, and processes to be
the friend of MIR. Colby. Who is being de.
ceived ? We hope it is the radical constituent
cy of Mr.. Woodbridge here in Vermont, for a
vote in Congress from this State for the Ad.
mnstration IS worth more than all the patron
age in the State. If Mr.. Woodbridge is hon.
est in the professions he makes at Washington,
and will vote with US, he Is welcome to the
patronage for his friends. 1t is votes in Con-
gress We need, not patronage.
The Rutland Courier in allusion to Mr.
Woodbridge position with the officials at
Washington, says:
We learn that, during the past summer, Mr..
Woodbridge stated in Washington that he ia
vored President Johnsons policy, but did not
wish it known 10 Vermont, as it would defeat
his Reelection. We hope and trust that the
report may be true. Indeed, there are circum-
stances that render 1t quite probable.
1t is not usual for the Democratic papers of
this State to be in any doubt respecting the
political principles, friendships and associations
or our members of Congress AMI We hope
Mr.. Woodbridge will at once make his posi-
ton at Washington, as well as at home, SO
INTERESTINGLY snti-Johnson, as to leave these
Democrats not peg to hang suspicion upon.
If there is any one thing which Vermont
now expects OF her Congressman more than
another, it is such an out spoken and unequiv-
ocal reputation of johnson, his policy and his
ad-and-butter brigade of officials, cannot
be misunderstood by men of any party and VT
think that in these times. when few Republi-
are proving recreant, such charge of pc
litical dishonesty in Republican Congress
man from Vermont as is contained in the
above paragraph from Johnson newspapers
ought to be met with public declaration and
denial from Mr.. Woodbridge, denial which
will be sufficient both fer this latitude and al
Washington.

mer variation having been removed, but take
advantage of every new condition of their

such Radicals as these should Vermont alone

We do not need to name men, for we are
glad to believe that our State has many sons
who answer all these requirements and if
the General Assembly will put aside all the
schemes of politicians, and the counsels of
se.fshly interested men, looking not at all at
the interests, the wishes, or the ambitions of
individuals, but only at the good of the State
and the welfare of the nation, it Cannot fail
to decide wisely and for the honor of the

The Elections Yesterday

We hope, before our paper goes to press, 10
receive sufficient new. from Pennsy vania. ONO
Indiana, and Iowa, whose state elections were
held vest rday, to give al idea Of the general
result. Pennsylvania elects governor, legls-
lature, and twenty-four members of Congress,
and her legislature will choose United States
Senator TO succeed Edgar A. Cowan, renegade
Republican. The canvass has been thorough.
and the triumph of the Republicans, and per
haps gain of two Representatives in Congress,
is expected. Gen. Geary, tried soldier, Is
the Republican candidate for governor, and ne
is opposed by Hester Clymer. rank Copper
head. The State was Republican last year by
nearly SO, 900 majority.
Ohio elects nineteen Congressman. and some
subordinate state officers. Seventeen Of these
Cougressmen are now Republicans, and the
Republicans are confident OF holding their
own.
Indiana elects eleven Representatives TO
Congress, and minor State officers. The can
y4ss has been very not in this state, and while
the Republican. are confident, there is more
danger of Democratic gain of Congressman
in this State, than in any other free State.
The Copperheads have now three Of the elev-
en- Congressman, and they are unscrupaiously
at work to increase the number. Among 9th
ers they hope to defeat Mr.. Colfax, who two
years ago had 1850 majority only out OF 3D.

Iowa elects only Coneressmen, aud minor

are Republicans, but two of them were chosen

By the President of tie United Statss.
PROCLAMATION.


Almighty God our Heavenly Father has
been pleased to touchsafe to US people
another yesr Of that national life which is an
indispensable condition of peace, security and
prooress: that year, moreover, has been
crowned with many peculiar blessings. The
civil war that was so recently among US has
not been anywhere re-opened, foreign inter-
veption Las ceased to excite alarm or appre :
hension, intrusive pestilence has been benign
ly'mitipated, domestic tranquility has improved,
sentiments of cancellation have largely prevail
ed, and the affections of loyalty and patriot
ism have been widely renewed. Our Fields
have yielded quite abundantly, our mining III
dustry has been richly rewarded, and We nave
been allowed 10 extend our railroad system IN
to the interior resesses of the country, while
our commerce has resumed its customary ac-
tivity in foreign seas. These great National
blessings demand National acknowledgment.
Now, therefore, l, Andrew johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby recon-
mend that Thursday. the 29th day of Novem-
Der next, be set apart TO be observed every
where in the several States and Territories of
the United States by the people thereof as
day of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God. with due remembrance that in his temple
doth every man speak of his praise recon-
mend, also, that on the SINE solemn occasion
We do humbly and devoutly lmpiore Nun 10
grant to our national councils and to our whole
people that divine wisdom which alone can
lead any nation into the ways of all good. Ia
offering these national thanksgvlngs, praises
and supplications We have the divine assurance
that the Lord remaneth a King forever !;
those that are meek shall be guideln judgment.
and such as are gentle shall he learn his way
the Lord shall give strength to bis people, and
The Lord shall give to his people the blessing
of peace"
In witness whereof, l have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United 81 ties
TO be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this o.h day

CoppERHEAD HOSTILITY TO SOUTHERN

CoppEhHEAD HOSTILITY TO SOUTHERN
LoYALIsrs.-The telegraph brings news that
the Southern Loyalists were not allowed 10
speak at Cairo, Illinois, and adds:
Colbngham Of the Southern Loyalists, who
was not allowed speak in Cairo on Friday
night, publishes card in which he states thst
the mob present at the meeting we're armed
with bowie knives and revolvers and came to
the meeting with the avowed purpose of in
augurating the bloody tragedy Of the New Or
leans fashion, on the slightest provocation.
The Delegation which vas supposed to include
Parson Brownlow and Hamilton came near
meeting frightful accident on the way to Cal
70; the train on which they were said to be
on, was thrown off tn. track while on high
embankment, eighty miles above Cairo, at
O'Clock Wednesday A. NJ last, by the re-
moval of rails, which threw the engin-
eer from the track, killing the engineer and
badly wounding four Others.
Indications all point to this as most wicked
and deliberate attempt to kill Parson Brown
low and Hamilton.

CopPERHEAD THREATS OF ANOTHER WAR.
The New York World, made furious by the
fact of some rioting In Philadelphia, In which
copperheads commenced an assault upon Re
publican sorchlight procession and got much
the worst OF the collision, last Monday pub
lshed most incendiary editorial. Assuming
that everything was lovely after Lees surren-
der,-and 1t WAS 60 for the simple reason that
copperheads and rebels were alike conquered
and subdued-it said z:
1t was the Republican party which disturb
ed this quiet and interrupted the return of
mutual good feeling. By making war on the
President and his policy OF concliiation, they
put fresh fuel on the dying embers By lnst'-
eating and abetsing the spurious louisiana
Convention, they brought on the New Orleans
riot, and set the blood of their partislns on
fire. By their threats to lmpeach the Presi-
dent, they have provoked his indignation and
and aroused the sympathetic Indignation of
all who approve his policy. By the unbridied
extravaganza of their torch and-turpentine
presses and orators, they have kindled the
most dangerous and diaboiical passions in
their followers. We warn them, we warn the
country, that their reckless and incendiary
proceedings bode nothing but evil and that,
If persisted in, the country must again wade
through slaughter and blood before it finds
tranquility.
We are to understand, then, that if the Re
publicans insist upon peaceable and constitu
tional reforms in our government, the World
and its coniederstes will inaugurate a new re-
bellion. The people have put down one
rebellion CONNIE need Oh such pretexts, and
when they are obliged to put down another,
they will perform the work SO thoroughly that
it will not have to be again repeated.
