ssruction led the people 70 examine that
scheme. and they then found that it was, how
ever sugar-coated. only the old dogmas and
party platforms of the copperheads in new
dress. Its inherent Irongfulness, it, glaring
injustice, its rank corruption, we're there ex-
posed, and with that exposure it was abandon
ed by every honest Republican and this, not
because it had Democratic support, but because
it was essentially and wickedly bad in itself.
II it had been right, the Republicans would
have supported it, and welcomed every Demo-
Graf who would have joined them in that sup
port. just as they welcomed to their aid every
Democrat who gave his sympathies and his
votes against the rebellion. They are wiling
to work and vote with Democrats, but not upon
a copperhead platform
And why cannot Mr.. Raymond-if he is
honest-see that there is no middle ground
between the Republicans and the Democrats
to be occupied by Mr.. Johnson's policy That
policy not only has Democratic support, but it
is, in all it's essential faculties, in entire harmony
with the past political principles of the Demo-
cratic party. If the principles Of that party
are to be adopted by the Government, Repub-
leans have little to choose between the men
who are to administer the Government upon
such platform whether Johnson and Seward
and Doolittle and Weed and Raymond, or
Seymour and Hoffman and Voorhees, and VAL
andigham and, on the whole, it prefers men,
who honestly and sincerely believe what they
practice. The Republican party is not fight
ing to put or keep in flee this man or that
man, but to have this Government administer
ed upon the principles of everlasting justice.
They have been deceived in men, they may be
deceived again-and they certainly will unless
they pay less heed to the doctrines of expe-
diency, which many party managers inculoa,e
as the most Important articles in their political
creed but when they find out their error
they will show, as they have in the case Of An
drew Johnson, that the man is nothing, the
principles ever, thing that parties are only
instrumentalities. and the triumph of one or
the other is of significance, except as it ad-
ministers the Government upon some prinoi-
pies higher and more enduring than party
success or the spoils of Office.

A Letter from Bradford.

The late Far of the Connecticut River Val
ley Association has been fully equal to any
OF the former ones. The first and second days
fine The receipts amounted to over $500
The show of Cattle was unusually fine. The
- town team" from Corinth, of IA pairs of
such oxen as only Corinth can produce, was
worth good journey to see. Full blooded
d" Vermont Merinoe'' Sheep, from all parts Of
the State were here, and several sales were
made The show Of Horses was very su perior,
and the trot on he last day was very finely
done, best time 2:4O.
In the Floral Hall the articles were very
nice, but not as numerous az on some former
occasions. MIR. F. B. Gage of St. JOhnsbury
had large show of Photographs and other
pictures, which reflected great credit on the
artist. Mr.. Gage is said to be one of the
finest artists in the State. Sewing Machines

rapidity of all ktnis OF work. Specimens of

in fact everything in the Hall. showed excel

In the Mechanics Hall there were more
than the usual number OF new inventions OF a
very meritorious character. Among the smaller
articles was a R)tsry Bench WISE, manufac-
tured by ]. s. Hoar, West Acton, Mass, and
exhibited By j. K. Davis, Agent which was
pronounced by all mechanics who saw it as
just what they have long wanted lis peculi-
arities are that the jaws are either at the

DIFFICULTY WITH TURKEY.-The New York
Herald has the following special by the Attain
tic Cable
In consequence of difficulty which has ex'
listed for some time past between the U. 5.
Consul in the Island of Cyprus and the Turk
ish authorities, the U. s. Minister at Constan-
tinople, MIR. E. J. Morris, has demanded full
satisfaction from the Sultan and bis cabinet,
pending the negotiations which have assumed
rather serious aspect. Mr.. Morris commu-
nicated with Admiral Golcsborough and the
U. S. war ship Ticonderoga, Capt. Charles
Ssedman, which has been lying of the por, of
Venice, was despatched to Cyprus.
There is some significance in this report OF
a difficulty with Turkey, in connection with
the very friendly relations subsisting between
this country and Russia. Of course our Of
fcials will not actively participate in any
eltlement of what Is called the Eastern ques-
tion'' IN which Russia and Turkey are adverse
ly interested, but our sympathies would natu-
rally be with Russia, and We should be very
ready to resent any rudeness on the part of
Turkey.

OFFICE oLDERs.-The Rutland Courier
has the following
The Radicals, all over Western Vermont,
are circulating the rebort that Hon. +. L.
w ood bridge has been making his boast that
be has control OF all the Federal appointments
IN Vermont, p nd that no changes will be made
except by his consent. The story runs that
Postmaster General Randall has assured Mr.
W oodbrIdge that this should be SO, and rou e
agents and other office holders are swarming
around w oodbrIdge thick as flies in a
meat market.
We are aware that Mr. w Woodbridge intro
duced MIR. s. b. Colby to the Mddlebury
District Convention, when he COLBY made
his conseI vative speech but we never knew
before, and do not k0nU nOD, that Wood-
bridge has become such a strong Admlnistra-
ton man that be can retain in Office men who
are daily denouDeing and viliiying President
Johnson and his public measures
Of course the Courier is right and the
d" Radicals " are wrong in this view of Mr..
Wood bridges influence with Postmaster Gene
raj Randall, as that functionary does not lisIen
= any body but johnson men of the bread
and-butter kind and the Courier must be
right in counting MIR. Woodbridge out of
that brigade. When he becomes intimate
with Randall the Radicals will disown him,
tor he will then have become Johnsonite.
And Mr.. Woodbridge cannot keep Postmss-
ters in their places, except either he is or they
are Johnsonised; and the Courier need, there
fore, have no apprehension of the influence
OF any but johnson members of Congress.

GEN. DIx.-This officer-he has conclud ed
that he as too hasty when he sent that stir
ring message to New Orleans" If any one at
tempts to haul down the flag shoot him on the
spot - is now az active supporter of John

paid him for his desertion of principle, and, to
speak plainly, has been rather profuse in his
reward. He has appointed him Naval Officer
in New York, minister to the Hague, and min-
lister to France. Gen. Dix, unfortunately,
