From the 81. Al,an- Messenger
LamOilIe Tailey Railroad.

We understand the engineers engaged
in the preliminary survey OF this route
have reached the town OF Cambridge,
and will probably get through TO Geor
cia Station in the course of next week
This survey commences on the line OF
the proposed Montpelier and St Johns
bury railroad, at West Danville, and
passes along Joe's pond, past Lyford's
pond. in Walden, 10 the north branch OF
the Lamoille river, in Hardwick, and
follows that river 10 Georgia. passing
through Danville, Walden, Hardwick,
Wolcott. Morristown, Hydepark, John
son. Cambridge. and Fairfax, TO Geor-
gia. The length Of this line is about
sixty miles. The steepest grade is from
Lyford's pond, in Walden, to the village
of South Hardwick, ard is sixty feet 70
the mile. This is less than the maxi
mum grades of most roads. From South
Hardwick 10 Georgia the grades are
very slight Taken altogether, this line
will compare very fasorably, for grades
and curves, with the best New England
roads. The survey thus far, has passed
over all the difficult portions of the
route, and demonstrates lis entire feast
bilitv.
This is proposed TO be part of tile
grand through line from Oglensburg 10
Portland by this route, the distance is
some twenty miles shorter than by any
other, and it opens one OF The best sec
tons OF the state, now without railroad
facilities. To 81. Adams the success OF
this route would be a great benefit. 1t
would bring US in direct communication
with the people of Lamoille county,
whose business now goes another way
We should then be the natural business
centre Of the whole of Lamoille. and
some towns in Orleans and Caledonia
counties, the greater portion Of wh3se
business i mow done AT Montpelier an,;
Waterbury. This would almost double
the territory from which our tradr>mcn
get their business. The people Of tie
valley are awake in the matter. AMI their
prospects OF success are fiattering We
trust our own citizens will. when the
time comes, be found ready 10 take hold
of the matter, and encourage i; 10y ma
tcrial aid proportionate TO 10 the benefits
we shall derive from the success OF the
road.

e The Post, speaking of the Demo-
cratic success in the recent elections. says:
''Ihls must be taken for the same sort
OF popular awakening that made the year
1861 memorable"
that's good, The awakening of 1861
was crushing blow to men like Frank
lin Pierce, while this revives them again {;
before that, the majority OF democratic
presses covered, changed their tone, and,
in some cases, dropped their politics and
became neutral, while over this, they are
all as happy now as they were miserable
then; and that awakening. also, sent ter
ror to Richmond and to the hearts of
consplrlng Southern democrats, while
this Is cause of jollifcation to all the
remnants of the rebellion" Great re-

lIiIldIli- H,DiO
Here. then. i one lesson. Never dcs-
par OF tine right cause on account OF
temporary rcvrr>cs. The political stu
alton this wear is no worse than il was
IN 1862. There are rs many rcpubli-
cans III the coumtry-as many who wouI,!
rally 10 the acknowlrd gcd standard OF
the observation-disclosures there were last
year, when We carried nearly all the
elections 10y handsome maIoritic>. But
YOU meet men IN every locality who
seem TO have convinced themselves that
the main, distinctive principles of the
party do not constitute the main, dis
;inctive ISSUES of the current elections
There Is no president, they say. to 81
/ chosen. and no members OF congress
and the national issues, they think, will
90 alon- in precisely the same wav till
the next presidential election, no matter
now the state campaigns may result this
fail. This Is very delu>ivc and wholly
mI>ta ken reasoning, but thousands of re;
publican- who would most earnestly dep
rrcate any question OF their party lidcli-
". have come TO be Influenced by it.
Hence we see them. on one prctencc or
another-tor the sake of some new issue
here, OF recording their protest against
something in their opinion amisS there,
and OF various local reasons elsewhere
acting ort.idc OF. As they think, hut re-
ally against their own organization.
They claim to do it "onlv this once -
In this We believe they speak correctly.
And here We come to the second lesson of
! the elections
If those republicans whose sense of
party ieaity is not 50 strong as we could
. wish are 10 be recalled and retained in
the ranks, our cardinal principles must
De kept 50 steadta>tly in the foreground.
ANA 80 separate from AL entan@ling al
ilances, that there will be neither excuse
nor lnducement for deserving them, even
Tor the brletcst time. Strictly speaking,
our principles are always in issue until
they are firmly established in the laws of
the land. Then il will he time enough
to take up Others or TO form new combi-
nations. This has been too much for
gotten. But the election news will bring
it home to every rejecting mind. No
man OF sense believes that the people OF
Ono or Pennsylvania have begun to re-
@ret the triunpEls of the war, or TO in
dorSc Andrew Johnson. or to wish the
progress OF reconstruction arrested, or to
desire that the finances shall be put in
charge OF regulators. They did not see
how these things could be affected bv
their local elections. They will see it
before three months are over. They
could not see how the firing into the Star
ot the West in Charleston harbor pre-
figured the rebellion. any more than they
HOW apprehend that everything which
dlsiracts the public opposition 10 Andrew
johnson and his contederates sets back
the settlement of all the great questions
won by the war, and must he made uu
by increased effort and vigilance hereat:
ter. But when this experience is fully
realized, we shall find the heart of the
country beating in unison with our or
ganization and again carrying us onward
from victory to yictory.-Bo>tOn Journal

Hoe ne Elections Vent

At lhe time our last paper was printed
nothing very definite was known rela-
tive to the elections Of the Tuesday pre-
vlous. The democracy claimed the
three great states, and made good deaI
of unnecessary noise but it appears they
were premature in part of their crow
inc, at least.
Late returns give Gen. Hayes, the
Republican candidate for governor of
Ohio, three or four thousand majority
The constitutional amendment, however
WAS lost 10y a large vote. Fer this We
are truly sorry. Until such states as
Ohio and Connecticut, where the colored
population is small and intelligent, give
the black man the right of suffrage. how
can we ask or expect the rebel states tc
grant it.
In Pennsylvania Sharswood, the dem
ocratic Judge, is elected, but the republi-
cans have carried both branches of the
Legislature, so that the probabilities art
that another year Mr.. Buckalew will bt
succeeded by 4 republican.
In Iowa, where board of state officers
were elected, the republicans have near
ly 10000 majority. The great reac
ton evidently has not reached SO fal
west as Iowa. Both branches of the leo
stature are overwhelmingly republican
