No Longer Neutral.

The Newport Express, which has been
classed as non-committed on the Sena-
torial question, comes out in it's last is
sue, in a calm and well-reasoned article,
for Judge Poland. 1t says -
" We might urge his appointment
merely as an act of justice. He re-
signed the high and very honorable Of
flee of Chief Justice, to accept the new
position rendered him by Gov. Dilling-
ham. By the faithful discharge Of the
duties of his Office, and by his able and
fearless discussion of the many impor-
tant questions brought before the atten-
tion of Congress, and by his bold and
determined stand for the rights and de-
fence of the government and for equali-
ty and justice to all classes and orders
of men, he has gained the admiration Of
Congress and the people and richly de-
serves this gift from the State. A
stronger reason, however, for his cleo
tion, is his superior qualifications and
eminent fitness for the position. We
are of opinion that higher order of
talent and ability should be required in
our National Senate than that which is
generally found in the House. By this
we do not wish to be understood as un-
derrating Mr. Morrill's abilities in the
least, but while by his education as a
business man more particularly, he
gained high and el 'viable reputation,
and was peculiarly fl, ted to draft, ana
with his characteristic energy ana per-
severence to carry throuA N those lmpor-
tant tariff bills and other 'lmliar nnan'
cial measures, Mr.. Poland b v MS earlier
education, by an extensive ana Varleo
practice as successful lawya anu py
years OF experience as judge IN tnt
courts of this State, has acquire. III
high degree, that quick perception auu W
close discrimination, that clear lOaa, "a
reasoning and independence of though
and action so essential and necessary to
the successful discharge Of the duties Of
such an Office.
Mr. Poland's record thus far in the
Senate, the high rank he has already
taken there has established beyond
cavil his ability and his superior quail
fications, and we think effectually re-
moved all doubts as to his political
principals. In view of these facts, and
believing that if elected, Mr.. Poland
will very soon become like his predeces-
sor, one of the leading, controlling spir-
itg of the Senate, an ornament alike to
the State and the Nation, we desire his
election, and we have strong faith to be-
lieve that the people will so decide"

The WEATHER AND THE FOUNTAINS
There was no doubt, yesterday, in the
mind of the most obstinate, that the
heat of summer had fairly come upon us,
and not few had realizing sense of
the fact the day previous. Sensible peo-
pie will need no caution from US about
indulging too freely in the various rem
edies sought as relief from the excessive
heat, about drinking too freely of iced
water, &C But there are places where
relief, unaccompanied by danger, can be
had. We refer to Fem s. Tuttle's and
Pond & Morse's splendid new fountains,
where not only soda with all the varie-
ties OF syrup may be obtained-but that
Saratoga "Star- water" at Fem & Tut
ties, and that mixture of German and
French mineral waters from Kessenger
g. vichey at Pond & Morse's, when tax
en- cool and sparkling from their foun
tains, are both a comfort and luxury
Go and try them.
Cool and sparkling soda fountains may
also be found at G. E. Graves and G. W
Chaplin's.

A PLEA FOR THE "LITTLE LAMBS. -
Editor Rutland Herald. You can't think
how disappointed many are at not hav-
ing any editorials from you in behalf
of the Rutlannd Missionary Associa-
ton for the benefit of the many naughty
but dear little folks, "childers," who
have no very good papa or mama to
teach them to be good and nice when
they are little, so that they will wish to
be. and will be very good some Of these
days, when they grow to fill the places
of men and women. 1t is oftentimes
necessity that makes parents appear neg
ligent when, in their hearts, they would
like better training for their children
than they themselves had, and would
willingly avail themselves of, if they
had the opportunity.
The object OF this association is to
purchase building, and have school
where little girls can be taught to sew,
and little boys too, if they willard to
ave a "home for the friendless," and
my other nice things. Another OBJ

Mr.. Morrill,, its editor should be held re-

the people should know the fact. The
Caledonian says:

RUTLAND HEFALD.
MONDAY, JUNE %, 1866.
The president ON RocOn>trucriOn.


The Presidents message, which we
publish today, indicates pretty plainly
that the executive doesn't like the re-
construction plan which Congress has
lust adopted, ard which every member
of the Senate aud House elected As a
Union man, who was present on its pas
sage, voted for. The President in tenn
perate tone expresses his doubts rs to
the propriety OF presenting the proposed
amendment Of the Constitution 10 the
States, while eleven of them are unrep-
resented in Congress, and whilr most OF
the Legislatures that will have to act
on it, have been elected without any
reference to the great question in
volyed.
But the President is probably aware
that several of the Southern States were
induced to ratily the anti-slavery amend
ment which has already been incorpora-
ted into the Constitution, by his own
strenuous urging, after the legislatures
or conventions that were so stTenuOusly
urged to act, had been elected. No
Qualms were then expressed by the EX-
ecutive as to what might or might not
be the wishes of the people. But the
President would probably have US un-
derstand that great necessity, involv-
ing the public safety as the suprema lea,
was then at stake. Very well; and he
should bear in mind that thousands, If
not millions of loyal Americans repre-
sented by Congress, still believe the pub
lie safety yet unsecured, and that this
reconstruction plaintiffs newly proposed
amendment to the national constitution
so moderate and prudent in its details
as to have obtained the deliberate sane
tion of every Union member of both
branches of Congress, is also demanded
by the most imperious public necessity.
As to the sentiment of the people, the
demonstrations given by the large
Maine State convention just held at
Bangor and by the recent Vermont
State convention, may afford little
light to the Presidential mind, There
can be very little doubt in our mind
that an overwhelming majority amount
ing to almost unanimity, of the true
Union men of the country, demand the
ratification Of the proposed Coustitu
tional amendment. The people in th'
South, who were so recently in armed
rebellion, should deem themselves indeed
fortunate to be invited back into politi
cal fraternity with the loyal masses OF
so easy terms. We should moi be at al
surprised if North Carolina, Tennessee
Arkansas, and two or three other State
lately in rebellion, ratified the amend
ment. There can be hardly a doubt tina
all the States that did not go into the re
bellion, will ratiry it, with the possibl
exception of Kentucky and Delaware
where copperheadism, worse species c
political madness than open-hand trea
son, still prevails,

Maine Republican Convention.

The Maine republican state convention
met at Bangor on Thursday, and was at
tended by 1860 delegates. The thor
ough canvass that has for some time past
been carried on by the friends and sup
porters of the rival candidates for the
nomination Of Governor, Samuel E.
Spring of Portland, and Gen. ]. L. Cham
berlin of Brunswick, rendered the con-
vention one of the largest that ever as
sembled in the State. The western part
of the State favored Mr.. Spring, while
Gen. Chamberlain was supported by the
eastern and middle parts Of the State,
and the soldiers. A. G. Jewett Of
Belfast, was chosen chairman of the
convention, and Gen. Chamberlain was
nominated upon the first ballot, the vote
standing Chamberlain 500, Spring 438.
The nomination was at once made unan-
imous with great applause, which was
Joined in by the Spring men with an en-
thusiasm which showed that the contest
was over and that Gen. Chamberlain
would receive the hearty support OF
eyerv member of the convention.
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed. declaring that the Union party OF
Maine plants itself upon the doctrines OF
the Declaration of Independence, hold
ing that all men, without distinction OF
color or race, are entitled to equal civil
and political rights; that the joint reso-
luton for the amending Of the constitu-
ton of the United States, recently passed
by the two houses of Congress, receives
| the emphatic endorsement OF this con-

How TO Avolp THE Corros Tax

- How TO AveiD THE CoTToH Tx
The last Radical Congress, with a
view to further burden the cotton
planter, laid tax of three cents per
pound on the staple, which must be
paid before cotton leaves the collec-
tion district. But the tax is not
chargedble unless the cotton is sent
forward for sale or shipment. Now,
the way to save the tax is to manufac-
ture cotton where it is grown. There
will be double advantage in this, not
only in the tax of SIS per bale of 500
pound saved to the producer, but the
manufactured article will bring him
twice the money that the raw material
will. BY forming association in every
country, the planters have thus the opr
portun!ty of doing themselves as well
as the country, the greatest service.
Let them profit by the opportunity.
We may add to these wise words of
the Georgia Citizens that every manu-
facture we recently met on the Border
echoed similar advisory expressions.
The largest cloth manufacturer in
Maryland, man of pure Southern
blood and lineage, said "Teli the
people of the South that manufacture
ing their own staples is the proper
way to be revcnged upon the Yankees.
Nothing will bring the New England
er to his senses so amazingly no other
vindication is SO worthy of great and
magnanimous people. They can beat
us in abuse and trickery let us beat
them in arts, sciedce, craftsmanship
and honest craft. Nothing pleases
your Yankee SO as give him chance
of ribaldry or ridicule. Be still
vigilant--industrious- -self-sustaining
these are winning trumps."
