RUTLAND HERALD.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER "a, 1857.


As the next number OF the HERALD
beeins a new volume We cannot close
the present without saying few words
to the public which has so generously
patronizsd rs the past and many pre-
ylous years, In reference to what we
propose to make our paper for 1868. As
will be seen by our prospectus, we have
perfected srsss gements for correspond
ence from points Of the greatest inter-
est in the United States as well as nom
Europe, which, with our regular asso-
ciated press dispatches, we trust VIII
place ours equal to any OF me Guy
papers as a aes,pape, and superior 70

that we can give news to them from "a
to 4s hours earlier than the mails VIII

well and favorably known as an able
and ready writer, who, aided by efficient
assistants, will discuss the leading Tea
tures OF interest to the nation and State
in our columns, from the standpoint OF
Justice and equal rights to all,
As a local paper we will sndeavor to
retain the reputation which we believe
we have already gated, as being second
to none in the State IS a late chronicler
of events. Our arrangements for the
future are much more complete than In
the past, having arranged for regular
weekly letter from every town in Rut
land County, as well as one from tai
most leading points o. other counties
in the State. Public gatherings, con
yentions, educational meetings, and al
"a semblies OF interest will be faithful
ly reported in our columns, while, new
of general character will receive it
proper share of attention.
A due proportion of our columns, tn
coming year, will be devoted to agricul

select miscellany and poetry, which vii
receive sufficient attention to warrant q
in claiming for the HERALD place b

The first number of the next volum
will be presented in an enlarged form

clear and readable type, presenting muc
improved appearance, ard containing 8

BURNING OF RAILROAD BRIpGE.-
The railroad bridge spanning the winoo.
ski, between Burlington and winooski
village, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday
night. As Conductor Phipps' train
(night express from the north) passed
over the bridge about /, 2 o'clock, he
discovered 1t on fire, when he stopped
his train and endeavored to extlngulsh
the flames, but to no purposss. Ae then
run his train to Burlington and returned
with such aid as he could procure about
the depot, but on arriving at the bridge
found that the flames had made such
progress that there was no possibility Of
saving it. 1t fell into the river about a
quarter past ten. The fire department
of Burlington were out, but too late to
do any service. The bridge is an old
one. 200 feet long, so feet In heigth, and
it's value is estimated at $l9,00e. The
trains between Burlington and Essex
junction will doubtless be somewhat de-
lsyed until trestle work can be erected

JEFF. DAVIS TRIAL.

A Washington, DC, dispatch, of
the "a inst, says, Judge Underwood
is in town, and to-day received a letter
from Chief Justice Chase relative to
the forthcoming trial of Jefferson
Davis. He states that he will be pres
ent at the opening of the United
States Court in Richmond in Novcm-
Der, and that he will then pass upon
any matter that may be brought up re-
lative to the case. He says, however,
that he will not remain in Richmond
after the meeting of the United States
Supreme Court in December. Judge
Underwood states that he was request
ed to communicate the contents of the
letter to Mr.. Davis's Counsel, and to
say that Davis's case could, if his
Counsel desired it, be brought up at
any time, without regard to the time
at which his bail bond calls for his
presence. The above information was
communicated by Judge Underwood
to Randolph Tucker, one of Davis's
Counsel. The latter took copy of it,
but would give no reply until after he
shall have consulted the counsel associ-
ated with him. The bond docs not ex-
pire until the fourth Monday in Nov
ember, and the court meets sooner.
Even should Mr.. Davis waive his right
under the bond and agree to go to trial
sooner, it is hardly possible that Judge
Chase can preside through the whole
trial.

"JIM LANE."- ."-Repeatedly the Uni
ted States Marshal from Lecompton,
with an armed posse at his heels, gal
loped into Lawrence with warrant
for Lanes arrest. But the Lawrence.
people were miracles ofheroic reticence
The first person asked would perhaps
reply that he "never heard ofany such
man." Another would report him
"gone down South" A third saw
him an hour ago, but thought he was
now over the Reservation. Then a
young man with revolver at his side
would step up and demand gravely:
"Hello, Marshal, looking for Jim
Lane?"
"Yes; where is he?"
"Just left town. l saw him start
for Iowa ten minutes ago with atwelve
FOUNDER under his arm"
Amid the derisiye laughter which
followed, the angry officer and his
posse would ride homeward. Before
they were fairly out of sight, Lane
would come strolling up Massachusetts,
street, wearing the old black bear-skiu
overcoat, which enveloped him winter
and summer, and askirs if anybody
had heard a gentlems.. :. from Lecomptor
inquiring for him !

We invite the attention of our read
ors to the able articles on the outside of
to-day's paper headed "Gov. Cox on
payment of U. S. Bonds in Green
backs" and "Repudiation." The
reasons are there clearly set forth why
the poorer classes should not be inveig-
led into the support of the Democratic
rusc to overthrow the Government
and plunge the country into anarchial
ruin and financial prostitution by
Withholding their obligations ofhonor
to the national creditors. They have
already committed themselves to this
infamous measure by press and stump
and it lis now too late for them to
escape the common ruin which inevi-
tably follows the defeat such
dcbasemcnt must bring upon their
party.

FRED. DOUGLASS SPEAKS.


Mr.. Frederick Douglass delivered
an Grafton before some society in the
Central Church of Newark, with a
large audience. In his address he said
there is no cohesion in the different
branches of our government, the ex-
ecutive is arrayed against the legisla-
tive, and the military disposed to obey
orders from headquarters, though even
under protest. Naughter.) We ought
to examine our governmentand we have
the right to discuss every part of it.
Ambition is ambition at all times.
The Presidential chair is tempting
bauble. For crowns men have done
many strange things and many horrible
things. For crowns men have COM
mitted murders, assassinations. For
the crown they have sent the midnight
assassin into the dungeons of brothers,
and caused them to plunge the cold
steel into the quivering heart.
For the crown, the brains of smiling
infants have been dashed out. For
the crown poison has been resorted to.
The presidency in our country stands
in the place of the crown. | make
no charge. do not even deal in in
sinuation. If anything happens to the
President out of the usual way, it is
almost impossible to keep men from
thinking something about the Vice
President.
There is danger in this thing, from
the fact of the case by which the Vice
President may be surrounded by
malign influences. How easy to ap-
proach him and inquire, "How would
youadminister the government, provid-
ed in the ordering of Divine Provi-
dence, Qaughter) the President should
be removed? who would you make
Collector in the City of New York !
who would you send to the Court OF
st. James, or any other Court? What
would you do about this policy?'
There is an assassin in every fifty
thousand men.
There was a traitor in the best twelve
that ever lived. How easy to put the
President out ofthc way and put the
other man in and hold him to the bar
gin. We have had three Vice Pres
idents within the last twenty five years
and not one-though elected on the
same platform, by the same party, a:
the President---not one but has betrayed
the party that elected him, and trampl
ed upon the will of the people.

A POPULAR phrase with writers is
the "cutting of the Gordian knot"
Its origin is as follows: A curious knot
was made of thongs that served as
harness to the wagon of Gordius,
husbandman, who afterwards became
King of Phrygia. The ends of this
knot were not discoverable, and it was
declared by the oracle that whoever
unloosed it Should become Emperor of
Persia. Many attempted it, without
success, until Alexander the Great cut
away with his sword, until he found
the ends, and in this way interpreted
the oracle.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

Mr.. EDITOR: Early last Thursday
morning some half dozen veterans of
the stay-at-home Brigade that served
with such dis honorable distinction in
the late war, concluded to usher in
the day of Jubilee by firing our old
cannon. So before the day-star had
vet illumined the East the the thunders
of the twelve-pounder echoed forth
the glad news of the 900 minus 1900
illegal votes, majority for the glorious
Democracy. All was going "merry as
a marriage bell" when at the sixth or
seventh round the old gun, that had
long done good service, burst to frag-
ments. Happily, no one was hurt,
which was almosta miracle. But still
it was an unfortunate affair. Because
first, it gave rise to the question wheth-
er the aforesaid veterans had ever be-
fore handled cannon, or smelt pow
der, or saw the cold steel of an encmy's
bayonet. In fact, some suggested it
would have been wise to have taken
soldiers who had been to the front
Thus YOU see this unfortunate burst
ing was the cause of furnishing the
glory of these battle-scarred heroes.
Moral to the copperhcads : When
YOU want to shoot again, try and get
men who have sense enough to load a
cannon.
Again, it was unfortunate, because
it was seeming bad omen. Some
said that it shadowcd forth the "bust-
ing" of the Democracy in 'GS
Whether this be trueor not, the Radi-
Gals received the omen as good, Will,
the copperheads were corrcspondingly
depressed.
1t was also unfortunate in putting
somewhat of dampcr upon the pro-
cccdings of the day. And this was nc
doubt the cause of the fssle. in tho
evening, and not as the Radicals allcgc
because of the weakness of the party
Preparations had been made for {
grand display. Money had beer
poured out like water. Whiskey was
furnished in abundance. The speak
ers had committed their old speeches
thoroughly. But all owingto the on'
unfortunate"bust" the show was far be
low what the occasion called for
Thus,
'The best laid plans of mice and men
Gang aft aglee."
Nevertheless, the illumination wa
a success. The bearing of the re
doubtable"J Jack, "as he walked in from
fthe procession ; the exploits of TIN
young tar-barrel men; the brilliant
fireworks the shouts of the "unter
ri6ed"-all combined to diffuse ;
kindly feeling into the hearts of tn
depressed Radicals as they stood upol
the sidewalk, and to inspire them witt
fresh hope, and new determination fo
the future. Next Fall we will G,a,,
them the privilege Of looking at ou
procession. Yours truly,

IMPEACnING THE PRESIDENT.

wmpeach the Presidentifyou dare"
Was the significant inscription on a
Democratic transparency flaunted last
Thursday night through our town.
Let us see about it. When treason
came, the Constitution was boldly and
defantly violated. 1t was violated
because it was the bond of Union, and
those who ruthlessly attempted to tear
the Union asunder were the worst Con-
stitution breakers that ever disgraced,
the land. 1t was the Democratic lead
ers who thus violated and encouraged
the violation Of the Constitution. The
Constitution provides for the impeach-
nent of the President. Congress has
power, at any time, to prefer articles of
impeachment against the President.
This power is as plain and as clearly
defined as the right Of grand jury to
bring bill of Indictment against an
individual. But how do the Copper
head leaders propose to treat this pow
ar? These men are constantly talking
about the constitutional powers of the
President, but in no line of that in
strument is itnominated that the Presi-
dent has authority to resist Con-
gress while it is engaged in pro-
ceedings for his impeachment. Here
h the point to which we desire most
particularly to direct the attention
of the reader. Remember Copper
heads and Andrew johnson are great
sticklcrs for the Constitution. When
a traitor is to be hel ped to escape, the
Constitution is always distorted to
cover his flight but when a plain pro-
vision Of theinstIumenti is to be enforced
against trator-whcn Congress pro-
poses, for the promotion Of the public
welfare, to punish a public enemy ac-
cording to the form and inside Of the
proceedings provided by the Constitu-
ton, the Coppcrhcad leaders call on
the President to resist. The friends
Of any MN mhosecase is before q grand
j,uymigH wih hesamej Justification arm
themselves TO overcome and violently dis
pcrss that dibmcl. Such a course
would constitute a mob. If the Cop
pcrheads attempted to resist the i'm
parchment of Andrew Johnson accord
ing to the forms as prescribed by the
Constitution, such action would be a
rebellion with the President at its head
but thank Col, there is vigor ,patri-
otism and courage sufficient to crush all
such rcbellons.
These are points which the people
have time to ponder until the meeting
Of Congress. Andrew johnson has
rendered himself deserving Of i'm
parchment. Congress has the consti-
tutional right to institute proceedings
to impeach a President. Now, let us
calmly ask, who can or who will op-
pose the exercise of that right?

WHEELING, October 25.-The cleo

Gratis have made large gains as far as
heard from. Wheeling city and Ohio
county give seven hundred Democrat
ic majority. Brooke county also elects
the entire Democratic ticket. 1t is
impossible at present to make an esti-
as to what the returns from the State
