D. time to time. 1t is now quite evideI
> that the matter is arranged. the program
&c completed, and nothing left for the cor
s. veution to do but to ratify. 1t is sal
u that Mr.. Stewart has gracefully with
u drawn from the canvass. SO that Mr.. Pag
II shall receive the unanimous nomination
u of the convention, and the party be har
u monious in its action But it may b.
! that the delegates who go to Montpelie
: on the 30th will choose to have something
i to say ill the matter. 1t may chance tina
: they will have choice, and that theil
: choice will not be the candidate of few
who have put their heads together, and
planned that Mr.-shall g, to Congress
by and by if he will withdraw his claims.
and that Mr.--shal at some day have
this or that place if Re will wheel into
line and help forward the concocted plan.
1t is not impossible but the delegates
when they arrive at Montpelier and find
everything '.cut and dried" will bolt, and
say we have Seen enough of this wire pull
ing, it is time that the people, the great
mass of voters. have some voice in select
ing their candidates; and though they
may have no objections personally to Mr..
Page and may think kim good and
suitable man for the place, yet they will
not have him forcel upon them by the
private and concerted action of few
They may think that however deserving,
and capable, and efficient Mr. Page may
be, there are others in the State equally
so, and equally deserving; men who have
not been thrust forward, who have not
sought for place, and who are every way
qualified for any office in the gift of the
people. We have such one in our minds
eye, and who, if presented as candidate,
we are quite sure would receive the almost
universal support and appreciation of the
pepople of Vermont. We mean J. S. AID.
ans of Burlington, Secretary of the Board
of Education. Mr.. Adams is well known
IN all parts of the State, by all classes of
The people. For ten years he has been la
boring faithfully, earnestly and efficiently
or the highest interests of the people of
Vermont; for their intellectual and moral
Welfare as we'll as their material prosperity. t
lie has met the people often in every I
ounty of the State, and in large number z
t the towns, and has addressed them face b
o face on the most momentous subjects of d
ubllc and private interest. And the peo- c.
10 know him they know him to be an ont. a
poken, earnest honest. Independent man o
man who scorns meanuess and hypocrisy; Il
hose honor, uprightness and integrity are al
nquestioned a man who has labored with b.
nselfsh and noble aims: who has not st
massed fortune, but grown poor in the I'll
ublc service. They know him to be W
IAN of talent and experience, and who, tn
'rbaps better than any other man in the pr
tate, understands her interests, material as
'tclectual, social and political. He is tn
't connected with great mopeyed corpor. tn
ions or other powerful institutions to be
ire, hat he knows well their influence

an to direct their influence and power
to right and safe channels, so that they !,
all not have an cvershadowing influence G.,
the legislature of the State, and which y
leht be used for private rather than "
bile ends. And other things being R,
ual, 1t seems to us that it would be we'll di,
the present juncturc of affairs to select th'
man for GoveEnor who is wholly indie. Hal
ndeut of railroad corportions. The leg. JJS'
allure of the State has recently been am
nmoned together at very considerable Gel
pense to the people on account of diff Bo'
ties arising from the quarrels of rail-. 'ar

have our chief magistrate entirely dis and
nected from those interests, those troub- ma

refore, be more likely to act with strict a.,
'artiality and justice 10 reference to all no,
