I have no recent data by me with
which to make a comparison between
this and other stations, but from the
Army Meteorological Register from
1852 to 1859, inclusive, l make the
following extract, which will give
fair approximation to present res
suits:

Add to this my record at this
place, Necah Bay, 1863 to

By the above it appears that the
temperature at Cape Flattcry is low
er, and the precipitation of rain
much greater, than at either of the
of the above stations. The mean
annual rain fall at Astoria is about
70 inches, and nearly the same at
Shoalwater Bay and 3ray's Harbor
"a greater precipitation Of rain be-
ing observed on the immediate coast

the very bricks, large, square-shapcd,
and massive; they were thoroughly
burned; the very mortar-the lime,
now hard as granite, handled more
than 1000 years ago by earth's i'm
pious people. From the summit of
the mound, far away over the plain,
we could see glittering, brilliant as
star, the guided dome of a mosque,
that caught and reflected the bright
rays of the morning sun. The gilt
tering speck was the tomb of the
holy Allah. To pray before this at
some period ofhis life; to kiss the
sacred dust of earth around; there at
some time or other to bend his body
and count his beads. is the daily desire
ofevery devout Mahommedan.

Speech of Judge L. p. Poland.

Mr.. PRESIDENT, Gentlemen of the
Convention labor under various en-
upon this occasion, the
first of which is that | made no suitable
provision for the change Of latitude
between Washington and Vermont,
and have taken a severe cold, which
renders it almost impossible for me to
make myself understood. In the next
place, gentlemen, | have heard my
name announced here as a candidate
for Representative from this district.
You already understand | was Sc
lected by the Governor of the State
to take the place OF the late Judge
Collamer in the Senate. You under
stand, likewise, that | have been a
candidate for the succession to the
position held by that lamented gen
tleman, in opposition to the Hon.
Justin S. Morrill, of the House.
The canvass was excited and bitter.
There was very great danger, as many
people supposed, that it would lead
to some permanent division in the par
ty, and | was appealed to to say
whether would not in order to save
further disagreeable results, accept
the position now occupied by the Hon.
Justin S. Morrill,, and thus withdraw
from the senatorial canvass altogether
and | have finally said to some gen
tlemen that if it was the desire of this
District that the matter should be har-
monized in that way, and that the
worthy Representative should take
the place in the Senate which | have
lately occupied, should hardly fee
at liberty 10 Withhold my sanction.
Imay be allowed to say, gentlemen
that l had supposed that | belonged
to a class from which Vermont has
been wont to select her Senators, and
l had hoped, in some humble degree
to attain to the distinction gained by
my predecessors in the Senate, anC
to emulate the examples of Judges
Phelps, Prentice, and Collamer. !
did not desire to set up my own per
sonal ambition against the wishes o.
choice of the people. If they desir'
me TO serve them in another and dit

theirs-not a business of mine.

men. Those Of you who have beel
in the habit of reading the publ
prints of late, must have noticed tina

Gen. Stannard VS.. Portus Baxter.

The following letter which appear
ed in the Burlington Times, shows
the cordial, unselfish support, which
the Hon. Portus Baxter gave Yer
mont's first, and noblest soldier when
he was hunting his way up the line
of such deserved promotion, while in
the service; and also the generous
assistance he was willing to give him,
when with an empty sleeve, and the
scars of many hard fought battles, he
was about to be returned from mill
tary, to civil life. We call attention
to the following, for the purpose Of
showing hooU Mr.. Baxter has alaCay,

Judge Hoyt's Reply.
St. Adams. AUG. II. 1866.

St. Adams, Aug. II, 1866.
Gentlemen In reply to your note Of
the 10th inst, | have to say, that /
have always supposed it to be my
characteristic fault, that | am over
free in the expression Of my opinions
upon all subjects, and can hardly be-
lieve that my views upon the ques-
tiOnS you suggest are doubtful to any
who know me. Those who know me
at all, know, that | am a radical of
the radicals; that | have been from
the first an opponent Of slavery, its
denomination and its oligarchy; that
| sustained the war to the extent of
my ability, and all the anti-slavery
phases Of the war; that in this unfor-
tunate difference between Congress
and the President, | am with Con
greSs and against the President, I'M
less he shall come back to the point
from which he so violently diverged.
| heartily approve Of the sound Con
gressional measures to which you
make reference, holding that the loyal,
and all the loyal, irrespective'of race
or color, and only the loyal, should
have a hand in the restoration and
ADMINISTRATION of the government.

JUDGE Hoyts Position.

The followin 6 correspondence
speaks for itself. 1t is nothing new
to any of Judge Hoyts supporters;
but we publish it this week, though it
appears subsequent to the Conven-
ton to show how truthful, fair and
honest, Mr.. Baxter and his agents
have been in representing to the peo-
pie that Judge Hoyt is an old demo-
crat, copperhead &c. Read and
Judge for yourselves:
Burlington, Aug. 10, 1866.
Hon. r. II. Hoyt:
DEAR SIR An i'm p r 81 n is
sought to be created in this commu-
nifty, that your position upon the main
political issues of the day, is ques-
tionable-that you favor the policy
Of President Johnson in the matter
of Reconstruction, or restoration, and
are an opponent of the policy of Con
gress, indicated by the passage ofthe
Freedmen's Bureau bill, the Civil
Rights bill, the proposed Constitution
al Amendments, &c.
Not so much for our own sakes, as
for the sa tt s "a cti on of some
honest men who do not know you,
and for the silencing of others who
are disposed to mischief, we would
thank you to express to us, in reply,
your position upon these and kindred
questions.
Very respectfully,
Your obt servants,
DANIEL ROBERTS,
E. R. HARD,

G. F. WARD,
G. H. BIGELow,
G. G. BENEDICT,
