II is bardh necessary at this time to
nllude to the part taken by Vermont
in the late rebellion. We have reason
10 be proud Of her record Here we
stand eqnal with any Of our sister
States
Let us not be deprived Of the fruits
OF our sacrifice of men and money by
executive interference, and 10y the re-
moval from official position of men Of
firm and consistent loyalty and patri-
olisia. Let us see that the cause we
gave the lives of our sons to establish
is henceforth maintained, and that we
receive the benefit Of our sacrifices IN
the permanent establishment Of this
Union on principles Of justice and
equal rights; ana to that end let us
urge Congress to act bravely and
thoroughly in the adoption of what
ever measures may be requisite for the
establishment Of peace and prosperity
throughout the whole country"
1t is no time now TO take step back
ward, but "adyance the whole line,
hold the positions we have won, and
with our fathers declare and maintain
that "all men are equally free and in
dependent, and have certain natural
inherent and inahenable rights, among
which are the enjoying md defending
life and liberty, acquiring, possessing
aud protecting property, and pursuing
and obtaining happiness aud safety
Finally, let us remember that sit il
not in man that walketh to direct hi
steps, and that all our labors are
nothing worth, without the direction
of that Infinite Wisdom whose guild

The Yacht Club Squadron

We judge that the parties now on board
OF the New York Yacht Club Squadron
are having good time. We learn that
this squadron left New London on Friday
morning, sailing through bank Of heavy
fog. Crowds Of ladies' and gentlemen,
Notwithstanding the unpleasant nature Of
the hour for leaving, thronged the dock to
note its departure. The dark cloud cur.
tain that hung like pail over the Sound
materially retarded the progress Of several
Of the leading yachts, and under the direc.
tions Of the commodore they anchored
opposite Stonington, while the rest of the
feet, not observing the signal to "come
to-" continued on their course.
The arrival Of the Phantom, Palmer
Fleur de Lis, and Dauntess was noted
amid the booming of cannon and the
screeches of steam whistles, creating q
most barbaric din. There will be q clam.
bake up Narraganset bay, given at the
residence Of Il. A. Dodge, after which
thare will be a grand race around Block

Preciates our locals What we do COM
plain Of is that when the Gazette does
give credit it almost invariably gives it to

WHAT PURPORTs TO BE A NEW
DEVELOPMENT.

A man by the name Of CHARLES A.
DuSHAN, alias SANFORD CoSovER, has
petitioned the President for pardon. he
having been convicted Of perjury. Con-
nected with this petition for pardon ore
some very extraordinary papers. 1t ap-
pears that Judge Holt, Congressman
ASHLEY, and Congressman A. g. RIDDLE
endorse the recommendation for pardon,
and the prisoner himself accompanies the
regular petition with long statement OF
On alleged conspiracy on the part Of But
LER and ASHLEY, into which he, CosovER,
was to be admitted for the purpose ol
suborning false witnesses-the intent ol
the conspiracy being to connect President
JOHNSON with:,the assassination conspiracy
by linking him intimately with BoorH, and
proving him to have been in correspond
ence with JEPF. DAVIS on the subject
CoSovER stoutly asserts that he has wit
nesses to prove what he says and forward
letters purporting to have come from
ASHLEY to him, apparently in reference t
the matter.
These papers are forwarded to the Pre-
sident by Mr.. BIScKLEY, the acting Attor
ney General, and he expresses the opinio
that the hand writing OF the letters
striklngly like that Of Mr.. ASHLEY.
These documents as they came from tn
Attorney Generals Office, have been put
lished in the papers. We make this NJ
tice Of the documents in question, sim
ply as matter Of current news, not carin
to publish the papers in full, nor to e'
press an opinion Of their genuineness ii
we have seen further proof Of their valid
