versal USE One has but to look into the
many little manufacturing towns in Con-
necticut, Rhode Island or Massachusetts,
to see what Vermont towns might be, with
a little Yankee enterprise and suitable
transportation facilities. We expect the
day is not far distant when the same en-
terprise will be exhibited at the numerous
water powers throughout our state that
can be seen in the states referred to; then
the same thrift and wealth is sure to fol-
low.
But we have already extended this ar
ticle to greater length than we intended.
From the considerations above given land
the subject is by no means exhaustedD it
is plainly the duty of every person along
the line to do all he is able to put this new
road in operation. If every one does this,
and does it at once, the road will be built ::
but if there is a reluctance, hanging
back and waiting for somebody to build a
railroad to your doors, it will never be
built. The opportunity lost now may be
lost forever.

Who told the Lie.

The other day, when the House was
discussing the merits of Thad. Stevens
Reconstruction bill, Mr.. Ashley of Ohio
made the remark during the exciting de-
bate which sprung up, that, The as
sumption, the brazen-faced assumption, of
men here who during the entire war were
in secret alliance with the rebels, coming
here now and joining hands with the
apcstate CA. j. at the other end of the
avenue, passes comprehension" Mr..
Winfield of New York, inquired if he in
tended to say there were men i'll the house
then who had been in secret alliance with
the enemy? On Mr.. AS saying he had
no personal knowledge Of the fact, but
that from the general reputation and votes
of members-''not another man and not
another ioilar"-he had no doubt that
some of them were there. Mr. W. said
it was base SANDER, while Mr. Hunter
(N. " went further and pronounced it a
baso lie.
Messrs. Winfield and Hunter may be
consistent democrats, but are far from
honest men. No close and candid reader
can be deceived. The democratic party
during the late war were sympathlzers
with the rebellion, and so far as possible,
allies of the rebels. Many of their num-
Der left seats in the national assembly for
eagles and stars in the confederate army.
Many more said more than once in the
halls of congress that the war was pure
ly republican affair. The leaders of the
democratic party did all they could to pre-
vent enlistment, and more than once ex-
pressed the sentiment that they hoped
such and such men would never return.
Bright and Vallandigham were expelled,
and if justice had been done, Wood and
Long would nave been served likewise.
Their convention in ga proclaimed the
war failure" and the common name for
Mr.. Lincoln was 'The Tyrant."

1t strikes us that the papers have begun
to canvass for governor rather early, but
we suppose somebody's friends were afraid
they should not name their man first. A
correspondent of the Brattleboro Phenix
has suggested the name of Hon John W.
Stuart of Middlebury, for next governor,
whereupon the Burlington Free Press
says:

The NeW Observation-Disclosures.

In speaking of the proposed trunk line
of railroads from Ogdensburg to Portland,
by this place, last week, we said it was
"shorter and more direct than any ex-
ist;ng route. Since then we have examin-
ed distances as laid down in the railway
guide, and find the distance from Prescott
Junction, opposite Ogdensburg, to Port
land, via the Grand Trunk road, is 4O6
miles
BY the proposed route, the distances
are {:
By railroad from Ogdensburg to Montpelier, 19S miles
BY highway from Montpelier to St. Johnsbury IS I"
" st. Johnsbury to Dalton, 20
% Dalton to Portland, 10 %

Or if connection is made with the Grand
Trunk at Gorham, n H., the distances
are thus:
Ogdensburg to Montpelier, les miles
Montpelier to Dalton, IS
Dalton TO GOrham, rs "
Gorhsm to Portland, via Grand Trunk, 9l "
800
1t is believed that the road from Mont
pelier to ST. Johnsbury will not exceed in
distance the travelled highway and that
the one from St. Johnsbury to Dalton will
be two miles shorter than the travelled
highway. From Dalton to Portland, by
the Saco Valley, it is believed by those
wei! acquainted with the country, that a
road can be built not exceeding 40 miles
in distance
The road from Montpelier to St. Johns

follow up the valley of Moose river nine
miles, and pass thence by Miles pond to

This route is entirely feasible, an easy
grade, and the road can be chcaply con-
structed. The first nine miles of this
road have been carefully surveyed and
estimated by an experienced engineer, who
stands ready to build that portion of the
road at his estimate. BY this estimate
the cost of grading, bridging and fencing
this nine miles, is less than $1,000 pei
mile This estimate includes all expense,
ready for the superstructure, excepting
land damages, which it is believed will be
mainly provided for by the towns through
which the road passes, free of expense t(

best of my ability, encourage others SO to

The words engaged in instruction or
rebellion against the United States, or
"[and] given aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof" which occur twice in the above
oath, mislead some persons. Such will
see, however, if they will read the oath
carefully, that they are merely required to
swear that they have not held certain Off

&c. Mr.. SrANBERy's opinion, which
will be promulged in the course of few

Greater the cross, the nearer heaven
Goddess, to whom no cross is given
The noisy world in MASQUERADE
Forgets The grave, the worm. the shade
Blest is yon dearer child of God
On whom he lays the cross, the rod.
Best, by whom most the cross is known
God achets as on his grinding stone
Full many gardens dressed in vain,
Where tears of sorrow never rain
In fercest flames the gold is tried,
In griefs the Christians purified.
Midst crosses faith her triumph knows,
The palm tree pressed more vigorous grows /;
Go tread the grapes beneath thy feet,
The stream that flows is full and sweet
In trouble, virtues grow and shine,
Like pearls tneath the ocean brine.
Crosses abound. love seeks the skies
Blow the rude winds, the flames arise
When hopeless gloom the welkin shrouds,
The sun comes laughing through the clouds
The cross makes pure affection grow,
Like oil that on the fire we throw.
Who wears the cross prays oft and well,
Bruised herbs sends forth tie sUeetest smell;
We're ships meier tossed by stormy wind,
The pole star who would care to find
Had Dayid spent no darksome hours,
His sweetest songs had ne'er been ours
