ceive this, you i'll doubtless learn of its defeat
this afternoon in the Senate. Sumner will
vote against it, because he deems il bad, and
do not believe he viii be the only Republi-
can Senator who viii vote against it for that
reason, while the copperhead Senators and
some Of the Presidents friends will vote
against it because they do not mean to have
any amendment or improvement whatever of
the Constitution, no matter how great the ne
cessity for some change to meet the great
change already made by shifting four millions
Of people from the category of"other persons
to be counted al .three-fifths," to the catego-
ry of "free persons" to be counted as whole
numbers, integers, individuals This paftlcu-
lar make-shilt to bridge cur way from the OLD
system to the new will fail, and we must take
our chance OF something better OF worse as
our rulers decide. For the better let us hope,
whatever further struggle it may cost us and
in that struggle no matter what its form the
people of Maine may safely rely upon the
truth and loyalty of her Senators, in Congress.
They will be found true to the principles of
the Declaration of Independence. They will
maintain to the fullest extent so far as in them
lies, the liberty proclaimed by the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation of January 1, 1868; and
they will support at all hazard and against all
encroachment, the Constitution of the United
States. Y.

Wool Growers Convention in Watervills.
VAUDEVILLE, Mar. IS, 1866.

VAUDEVILLE, Mar. IS, 1866.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The @Wool Growers Convention" held here
to-day was emphatically success-much be-
You'd the expectation of the movers, as it was
intended to be only preliminary to State Or
ganization.
Over hundred choice sheep were exhibit
ed; among them several bucks of rare quality
and high prices, and samples of their stock
among the younger animals which prove
them worthy of attention.
Joshua Nye, Esq, and DR.. N. R. Boutelle Of
Waterville, DR.. Gates of Vassalboro', Seth
Wentworth of China, Samuel Taylor of Fair
field, each exhibited very large and choice
bucks from noted Vermont hocks.
The grand feature of the exhibition and that
which drew the attention of all, was the flock
of thirteen merinos recently brought to this
town by Ephraim Markham, Esq, senior editor
of the Waterville Mail. He exhibited thor
ough-bred Spanish merino buck ten months
old, weighing los lbs. which was sired by the
celebrated "Eureka" or Rockwell buck. Mr..
Markham has just purchased him in Vermont,
after examining the focks of note in that
State. He was considered the best buck in
Vermont since the death of "Gold Drop" He
was bred by Eben Bridge, Esq, of Windsor
county, and is considered by good judges to
be the best buck in this State. $3.50 have been
offered for him, but the owner declines TO fix
his price even at $1,000
Animated discussions were had at the Town
Hall relative to the merits of fine and coarse
wooded sheep.
A committee, of which Hon. W. A. P. Dill
bingham was chairman, was selected to make
the necessary arrangements for permanent
State organization ofwool growers. EN-

The New Harnnshire F;lection.

Returns received from 127 towns, represent

handsome majority. The total vote this year
will probably amount to $4,000, and the entire
Republican majority cannot fall far short OF S.
900. Last year, out of an aggregate vote OF
62.227. Gov. Smyth received majority OF
6O59. The Republican majority in 1854 was
5,745.
The most encouraging fact developed by
these figures, is the steady growth OF kepubli-
can principles, unchecked or possibly stimu-
lated by recent events. On looking again, one
sees that the vote is considerably heavier than
last year-the heaviest that has ever been
known, except at Presidential election
And yet the Republicans have made no special
effort. Trusting o the personal popularity o
their candidate, they have even neglected the
usual precautions of political campaign
