The republicans of Lyndon have COM
pletrd their canvass and they are not
found wanting. When l say this. | do
not mean TO be understood that the work
Is all done, for ,"ork should be the lead
ing letter in the programme until the
last ballot Is cast and the ballot-box
closed. Every enterprise and thing
worth having demands work to accom-
Plish it; and many worthy object has
failed, in and out of politics, from want
OF this very exercise. 1t required ar
,iuous work to institute and establish our
cherished Republican government it has
been a greater work and cost far dearer
sacrifice to maintain it. 1t will require
work Tor the ".Ntar that never sets TO
poll $4,000 majority for the republican
state ticket next Tuesday, and an addi-
tlonal 1900 Tor the nations chcftain for
the presidency i'll November. But it can
be done and let the frcemen of Lyndon
and Of Caledonia county do their part of
it well Our Lyndon republicans made
q strong and successful pull one year
ago; let them be prepared to do even
better this. Then, 10y the republican
canvass in town, they reported % union
majority strong the result of the first
ballot gave majority of 81. With
equal enthusiasm this year-and there is
more Of it,-and the same amount of
work by all interested in the great cause
of loyalty and right, and that majority
of 81 will be doubled. Shall it not be
done Let every republican, every free
man of Lyndon, who was true to his
country during the long, dark days of
the rebellion, and who is, by means of
the ballot fighting it out ON that line
now, be at the polls next Tuesday and
answer. INCoG.

ST. JoHNsBURY, VT, Aug. 20, '6S.
The citizens OF st. Johnsbury have
this day paid sad yet joyful tribute to
the memory Of her fallen soldier heroes
sad, for it reminded many family OF
the vacant place by their hearthstones &;
and joyful, because it was a noble recog-
milton OF departed honor and worth The
town had an honorable record in the lat e
war, and many of her soldier sons per-
ished in the actual conflict of battle,
from wounds, from disease incurred in
the discharge of duty, or from the terri
BILE cruelties practised in the rebel prisons.
Company a of the Vermont eleventh,
which included twenty-four men from
this town, were taken prisoners on the
Weldon railroad and sent to that sly of
death, the Andersonville prison. Twelve
of the poor fellows died there of starva-
ton and neglect. Three others from
here met similar fate there, and five
more found relief in death from rebel bar
baritles in other prison pens.
So, too, at Williamsburg, Petersburg,
Cedar Greek, Fredericksburg, Gettys-
burg, Port Hudson, and on many anoth-
er battlefield, death blows were struck
which were felt in this peaceful and
beautiful town. Three hundred and
thirty-threo men were furnished in re-
sponsc to the various calls of the govern
ment. OF these seventy-nine were kill
ed, or died of wounds or disease; nine
teen were killed outright in action. The
record OF st. Johnsbury in the rebellion
is now being collected and prepared for
publication by one Of the citizens, Mr..

Ed. CALEpoNIAN:- Your readers
are too intelligent to any special need in
strucIioms in reference TO their duties at
the polls, at any time, and yet there are
Il few things which have fallen under INV
observation, calculated to influence my
own convictions in the present cricis.
Immediately after Seymour's nomina-
ton, telegram was sent from Il member
of congress, a prominent merchant from
his own state, then ut Washington, to
his democratic fricnd--stating that "the
republicans were jubllant, while his own
party were greatly depressed" and urg-
ing HIM to decline. \ few years ago a
friend of mine resided near the city of u
\ DIRK, and was acquainted with an init
mate friend OF Seymour's, a wealthy
banker, with whom he sympathized po-
litically. This gentleman remarked,
when Fcnton was elected governor, that
1t must be much pleasanter for Mr. Lin
coin ITO have one in harmony with the
government, rather than one who would

The points at issue were brought some

sabbaths since, while hearing one of the

church from Calitornia. in Faneuil Hall.

OUR FALLEN HEROES.
Of the Soldiers MOn-
UNleHt.

ITS INCEPTION.
Soon after the close of the war, this
community agitated the subject OF COM
in some suitable manner the
memory of those brave men who went
out from this town, and whose lives were
sacrificed in the defence of their country.
All were agreed that some testimonial
III ould be made, and although there were
differences of opinion at first rs TO acdat
was most fitting, and how the expense
should be borne, it was finally voted in
the town meeting of March 1867. with
great unanimity, that the town appro-
pirate the sum of $4,000 to erect Sol
diers Monument: and McsSrS Horace Fair
banks. c. B. Billiard and a j. Willard
were appointed by the town monument
committee. This committee negotiated
with Mr.. Larkin G.. Mead, ,Jr., the
young and talented Vermont sculptor
for a marble statue. which he has mod
clled at his studio in Florence. and which
arrived in this country few weeks
since. Early in the Summer the granite
base, with the names Of the deceased
soldiers inscribed thereon. had been erect
ell, and has since awaited the arrival OF
the statue

to defend its Government. Heretofore
men had been driven TO their labor. The
war had proven the strength of our gov
ernment. The gallant dead, whose names
were here inscribed. had faced death that
their country might live, lie hoped the
monument would long stand untarnished
and that it would prove Il lesson to all by
melting them to increased love for the
principles these brave men had fought TO
maintain. There was duty which was
owed to the dead and 10 the living. lie
said he always felt his inferiority when
he met Union soldier. There was the
MANNED, the widow and the orphan who
claimed our support. Altho' h our
government was more liberal In any
other, there still remained much for us
to do. He was greatly gratitied that the
beautiful statue was the work OF a son OF
the Green Mountain State, and he was
proud, too, that she had sent out one Of
hers son who had won such honor and
Iistiction in the world Of art.
The inauguration ceremonies then
closed with the reading of a patriotic
hymn by Mr. Dana, and the benediction
10y Chaplain Woodward.
From twelve o'clock until the close OF
ih2 inauguration halt-hour guns were
