THE REVOLUTION. I'm the House Of Rep
rsseutatiyes, recently, Mr.. Brooks, Of New
York, denounced with great warmth the con-
duct of the revolutionists in and out Of Con
eress. The following passage from his speech
gives Us his view Of the present and future OF
the country:
HE would say to the gentleman from Ohio
Mr.. Spaulding,I who stood here as Glrond
against the Jacobirs, that the, history OF the
Girondists was in this place to be written; and
although such men as he attempt to arrest the
revolution, he Mr. Brooksl did not think the
revolution was here to stop. He did not be-
lieve that it was half written or half acted out,
unless all history was at fault. We are now
repeating the history of Augustus and Julius
Cesar, aud the Government is passing from
republic to a despotism. Revolutions never
stop, The Girondists, the conservatives, are
to be overwhelmed by the Jacobins; and when
ne shall have lost all our liberties, some future
Napoleon, yet unknown will rise up from the
chaos and rescue the country from anarchy
through a military despotisn. Hence the re-
sistapce of the gentleman from OHIO, Mr..
Spauldiug, and the partial resistance OF the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr., Miller,
would be in vain. More than one-halt OF the
territory of the old Republic was already under
military deSpolSm, ard there Was no more
protection in the Southern States for lite, lib-
arty or property than under the domin'ons
of the Sultan or the Gear. The military gov
ernment bill, nSw over ten millions OF people,
white and black, was to be extended over the
North and West before the revolution was fin
isbed While he greeted the voice of the
gentleman from Ohio, Mr.. Spaulding,l and
Welcomed the calmly resisting tones Of the gen
tleman from Pennsylvania, Mr.. Miller, he
knew if history we're correct, there was to be
no escape for any of us. The gentleman from
Massachusetts,, Mr.. Butler, in his speeifica-
tions of impeachment, said that this House
would be false to itself if it shrauk from i'm
peachment now The gentleman was right
The ball of revolution which had been SET in
motion was not to be stopped, but was to roll
ever the House and the country They Who
snbark in revolution can never shciok. They
mast always 20 on.

AN OUTRAGE.

lie wrought great outrageS wasting all tie
country Where lie wont.-SIENSER.
TO be subjected 10 absolute and arbit-
rary power, Is a serious evil.
To place ones liberties and vested rights
under the dictatorship of any man, or
set of men. however fair their antecedents,
can be regarded in no other light than a
dangerous business.
Especially unfortunate is it for the cit
liens Of this village that they have placed
the repairs Of the highway, in the hands
of persons who fail to use the greatest
kindness, and show the utmost respect for
the rights of individuals, whose property
may be injured and dislisured, and rel
dered difficult of access from the street,
by their wanton and illjulgcd attempts
to improve upon the natural and scenic
beauty OF our streets.
The diversity of surface, which is n
characteristic feature of our village, is a
/ narkeu ClCllcHt Va bN""'D
Our undulating roads, divergng in ev-
cry conceivable angle from the centre,
with gentle swelIs, and no abrupt grades,
are far more beautiful and much more
desirable, than fiat, monotonous and
tn csome level surface
Nature is never more beautiful than
when left to her primal form and dress,
with some slight touches from the hand oil
art.
For these reasons, if no other, it be
comes caiquiy TO the citizens OF ouI
beautiful village, when some ambitious
path-master conceives whim-Ihat yon-
der GROWING emincnce must come
off - that each graceful and beau
tiful depression must be buried GU
of sight - that every curve must be
put in straight jacket, &c.
1t is not tritling, but most serious
matter then, whether we select men fol
repairers Of roads, who are educated to ;
correct and cultivated taste-who have
an eye for the beautiful, who have ludg
ment and discretion, and withal LmdaeN
Of heat and due respect for the right
of those who are liable to suffer from
their deeds, or whether we select meI
entirely wanting in these noble and manly
qualities. We admit that certain course
is Unsuitable, when the public good Is it
be subserved, and it is clear that it will
be of greater public utility than private
wrong; but the road maker should pro
coed very cautiously, and always lean t'
the side OF the weaker party, and be slow
to do it injury.

czrWe place at the head of our columns
the name of the 10 nnecs for State Off
GERS selected at the State Convention last
week. For Governor, Hon. John Il.
Page, of Rutland, well known TO the
people of Addison County, both in his
business relations and in lis official record
MS State Treasurer during the war.
Perhaps no more thorough and efficient
business man could have been selected,
and us an executive officer he must be
superior. Although, not our first choice,
but one man has been men i)ned wi Csc
qualifications and official record would
have led us to support him in preference
to Mr.. Page. Con. Stephen Thomas has
the second place and is, in every respect,
entitled Of anybody can be said to be en-.
titled TO consideration to the especial
regard and consideration of the people of
Vermont. We commend him to the
earnest support of every Rcpublican
OF Hon. John A. Page, candidate for
reelection as State Treasurer we can say
but little and need not say anything. His
record speaks volumes in his favor. On
the whole, this ticket is both strong AMI
satisfactory.

Washington, d. G., May 18th, aged 81
years. The deceased was young man
of more than ordinary intellectual ability,

proclamation summoning citizens to arm

The ploughing and carrying away the
road in front of the Ladies. Seminary and
before Mr. Rockwcll's house and grounds
is II strange and suspicious proceeding.
The act is utterly uncalled for by the
wants of any class-unnecessary to i'm
prove the road at that point (lhc grade Of
which is an easy onc) and unsupported
by the poorest of reasons.
The only excuse conceivable is to OBJ
tain dirt mot graveD to fill up some dirty
hole elsewhere.
When will the village provide as it
should suitable materials for the repair of
its roads and walks, without Preserving to
sources OF so questionable u character
To 20 before gcnteman's grounds,
and mar and disligurc the natural beauty
of the street, when the road at that point
docs moi require the least alteration il to
say the least Of it, an act Of sheer cruelty,
unjusiiiabc on any and every pretenso,
and deserving the ccnsure Of every candid
and considerable mini.
We regret the necessity of this com.
plaint and criticism, AMI it is sincerely to
he hoped that if our village officials arc
spoiing fer something to do that i
strange and unusual, they may be enabled
to find channels for their excessive zeal.
without pcrpctrating deeds that shall rem.
der them terribly odious to their ncghbor.
and subject themselves to the deep con.
demnation Of many Of the best citizens o.
