OUR Town ELECToN.-The defeated
candidate for Town Representative in
Rutland, endeavors to console himself
with the fact that he ran ahead Of his
ticket. while Mr.. Prout ran behind. This
is very easily explained. Mr.. Prout re-
ceived sixteen votes less than the Repub-
lican State ticket in this town. A num-
Der Of persons from other towns came
to Rutland on Tuesday to draw their
pensions, September 4th being the day
the pensions fell due. They were en-
titled to vote the State ticket here, but
not for Town Representative. They
voted accordingly, and hence the differ
ence on that side. On the other side,
Mr.. Cain received Is more votes than
the Democratic State ticket. That was
simply because several of Mr.. Gains fol-
lowers did not know that anybody was
to be voted for except John CAIN" and
the Democratic State ticket consequent
ly suffered "a few" Gains false charges
against the Rutland & Burlington Rail-
road and against Constable Chatterton
are too ridiculous for notice. Those
who know Mr.. Chatterton cannot be
convinced OF any unfairness on his part
by the assertion Of a defeated, disap-
pointed and disgruntled candidate;
neither can those who do not know him,
but who saw him at the last election
perform such acts as making his way,
through the crowd, from his stand to the
door of the hall in order to receive the
vote of lame man who was known to
be voter for Cain. The less candi-
date who, like Cain, imported voters
from out Of town to vote for him, has to
say about "unfairness," the better it will
be for lin.

BAPTIST CONVENTION. - The Baptist
Convention held in Burlington last
week under the direction Of Rev. A. B.
Earl, the Evangelist, for the spiritual
interests of the Baptists of Vermont, was
a meeting of uncommon interest, and we
trust will be followed by blessed results
in the churches there represented by
pastors and delegates.
The meeting was very harmonious and
characterized throughout by the mani
fest presence and power of the Holy
Spirit in the quickening of Gods people
and the conversion Of sinners to Christ.
The Baptist church in Burlington is
in very prosperous condition, although
at present without settled pastor. The
brethren cordially received the dele
gates with warm hearts and open houses.
The delightful season can never, we
think, be forgotten by any who were
present.
The delegates who were allowed to
return to their homes over the Rutland
& Burlington Railroad free-unani-
mously passed vote Of thanks to the
officers Of the Board for their considerate
courtesy and kindness.
Per order and in behalf of the dele
gates. &C.

You have polluted our air and soil too
long. Go Relieve US Of your insuffer-

Pertinent Inquiries.

Hon. Henry j. Raymond, member of Con-
gross from the City of New York, and Editor
of the New York Times, one of the ablest and
fairest Republican papers in the country, made
a speech at the great Union meeting on the 22d
at the Cooper Institute, in support of the Presi-
dents Reconstruction policy, and in approval
of the views Of Mr.. Seward. In the following
questions, he gives the whole argument in
nutshell
"What have we been doing for the last five
years? For what have we been raising those
vast armies by the voluntary action of our peo-
ple-thoSe vast sums of money? For what
have our brethren been shedding their blood on
the field of battle laying down their lives, sac
rifcing every thing they had on earth? Why
are we now loaded with debt greater than
this nation ever believed it would be called
upon to bear? For what has all this been
done but to save the Union which our fathers
gave us and charged us to preserve to the end
of time? Did any of us ever hear from any
source of authority, from the day when this
war began to the day when it closed, any decla-
ration of any other purpose in waging it than
topreserve the integrity of the Union and main
tain the supremacy Of the Constitution of the
United States ?"
In reference to the solicitude for the negroes
evinced by the Radicals, Mr.. Raymond says =
" is curious feature of the Freedmens bill.
that it took the blacks under the protection of
the Federal Government, as if they were not
able to take care of themselves, while the same
persons who urged this the hardest are the
most clamorous to give this same dependent
populai IN large share an the government of
the country ~
