Those Questions.

The questions asked by a correspond
ent with a request that MIR. Soule, the
self-constituted candidate for sheriff,
would answer them, still remain I'M
needed by that gentleman. This, if Mr..
Soule cares for anything so much as the
Office, is very singular, and unfair to-
wards any who support him for any 9th
er purpose than to cause a split in the
Republican ranks. Mr.. Soule has held
the office under repeated Republican
nominations. and now seeks, of course,
for Republican votes. Ii there is the
least obligation on the part of Republi-
cans to support Mr.. Soule rather than
the regular nominee, it must be because
Mr.. Soule is a better Republican, and
mas done more for that party. But how
is it? In the first place, after short
stay in the party, and after enjoying to
the full the benefits of good office, Mr..
Soule puts his own interests in opposi-
ton to those of the party which has IA
Vored him highly, and thereby proves
uhgrateful for past favors, and recreant
TO principle; and secondly to give deep
er color to this estimate of him, he
eHaoes questions, which, in case he is at
all worthy of "A moments consideration
oy Republicans, he will answer promnt-
| ly, and should have answered before
The truth seems to be that Mr.. Soula
cares not farthing for the success OF the
party which twice elected him. and
thereby he justifies the action of the
convention in dropping him and taking
up another man, who, all acknowledge
is capable as himself.

be known again, we think We hear
thar the next class of Freshmen wi Il
number about twenty-five. We did not
attend the exercises at Commencement,
but hear the orauons Of the graduates
highly spoken Of. The graduates, and
address of each, were rs follows:
The growth of the idea OF Human
Brotherhood.-Henry Clay Barnes,
West Addison.
Mental Culture as "a resource in Adj
yersity .-Joseph Dudley Denison, Ran
d0lph.
Written and Unwritten Constitutions.
Leslie Munson Platt, Burlington.
Ethical tendencies of Modern Re
search. Mason B. Carpenter, Barre.

The candidates for the Masters De
gree, and the titles of their addresses,
were:
The influence of Civilization on Nor
ality.-George Bigelow shaw, Burling-
ton.
Spiritual Forces in History.-John
Hopkins Worcester, Jr., Burlington.
The exercises at the Church ended
with services in commemoration Of the
late Professor Torrey.
Not being in the eating mood we did
not indulge in the pleasures of the
bountiful tables spread for the Com
mencement Dinner at the American
Hotel The dinner was, with its sue
eeedmg speeches, highly enjoyed, and
its good name remains in the mouths of
many. Concerning the excursion on
the lake, on the still-running and we'll
managed steamer Canada we can
speak from experience, and say that in
all respects il was enjoyable. The wea-
Their was fine; the boat was right the
lake was laconic of white-caps the
music was Graffula's; the passengers
were Ladies and Gentlemen; and if
there was any reason why reasonable
and pleasant enjoyment should not be
the blessing Of all, the reason failed to
produce its effect, and the blessing was
accepted. Aftera trip which lasted un-
til o'clock am, on which the pleasant
village of Pittsburgh was visited, and
some of its citizens received on board,
with officers of the And Infantry in
cluded, the boat returned its freight of
pleasure-seekers at the Burlington
wharf, and the excursion and ending of
Commencement came to period. For
our enjoyment we are indebted to the
editors ofthe Times, and others, who,ex-
tended, as they did to us last year, every
courtesy. Every visit which we have
made to the Queen City" but strength
ems the favorable opinions expressed by
US last year.
We are glad to know that the Uni
versity is generally believed to be en-
tering on a career of prosperity and in
creased usefulness. Two years have
seen successful efforts made in its be-
half which promise this, and the pro-
mise begins to be realized Liberal do
nations have been made, and we pre-
sumo will still be made to give new life
to the institution, and the choice of in
structors has been feliciious. The Uni
yersity does notentertain an Angel I'M
awares. Long and well may it live!

Our LO1ldOnLetter.

st. Johns, Aug. 4, 1858.

LONDON, July y, 1865.
Republics are ungratefulvr "The
truth of that phrase has shown itself in
your struggles but too often, and with
out being partial to monarchial institu-
tiOns, it must nevertheless be confessed
that the Government Of Great Britain,
for instance, has always rewarded its he
roes in a becoming manner for services
rendered by them to their country.
There is Lord Campbell, and but lately
Lord Napier, whose elevation to the
peerage, offers a striking illustration to
that fact. The latter brought the Abys-
sinian expedition to lucky issue, and
the nation appreciates the advantages,
which his quick, judicious, and energet-
ic action has secured TO British reputa-
ton and interests abroad. What have
the United States done for their hero
Grant, who saved the Union in sue
cession of glorious victories over the reb-
els of the South? TIC be sure, they have
made'him the mmander-in-chiefo fall
the armies, and the Republican party
have nominated him to be the future
President of the United States but this
does not prevent the political enemies
of the general, from denouncing the
brave general as butcher, drunkard,
etc., only in order to secure the election
of the men of their own political creed.
You must acknowledge in your repub-
ican country, that occurrences of that
description are not met with under any
European Government,

That Resolution.


We have been requested by asubscrib-

comply with the request, to publish the
resolution alluded to in an editorial ar
ticle a few days since, with the vote on
the resolution in the State Senate The
whole may be found on page 257 of the
Senate Journal for 1867. The resolu-
ton was introduced by Mr.. Hendee, of
Lamoille County. The proceedings
are recorded as follows in the journal
referred to:
Mr. Hendee introduced the follow
ing resolution:
" Resotued-by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Yer

opinion between Congress and the EX-
ecutive Department of the National
Government, in relation to the policy
to be pursued in the reconstruction Of
the States lately in rebellion, we hearth

believe that its measures need only to
be faithfully carried out by the eXecu-

restoration of the country to quietness
and prosperity on the broad basis of
equality and constitutional liberty

TIE Vermont Central Ruil,coy.

Among those railway companies noted
for active enterprise, liberality and mod
crate charges for travel, the Vermont
Central takes high rank. 1t is not too
much to say that the road is one of the
best managed in the United States, and
that more attention is paid to the COM
fort and safety of passengers than one
always sees displayed. The through
train for New York and Boston now
leaves Montreal one hour later than
heretofore, yet this time is made within
the first 100 miles of the route. The Di-
rectors have also put on the line magni-
ficent sleeping cars which run through to
Boston without change, and Uice versa.
These sleeping cars are the wonder of
all beholders, and our exchanges have
recently devoted much space in praise
of their beauty and comfort. The Dailv
Neps says
For the special accommodation of Mon
treal travel, the Vermont Central Rail-
way Company have commenced run
ing a new through train to New York
and Boston. This train leaves Bona

rives in Boston at $50 the next morn

Our readers, who have read the letter
OF Gen. Blair, and the remarks of Gen.
Wade Hampton, viii recognize the fact
that the present leaders of the Demo-
cracY are actuated by the same spirit
which caused the late rebellion-thev

huential Democratic papers take the

Democrat and the World, with the ma
Jority OF Southern papers. On the trial

them to aproper understanding of their
real situation. This was done once in
1867, as the following correspondence
shows, and will be done again. we do
not doubt, under the leadership of the
same man. The position of affairs now
ana then has a similarity which is
worthy OF notice, though the conflict is
shifted from the field of carnage to the

a SENSIBLE AND REPENTANT REB-
EL.-The Republicans of the Second
Arkansas District lately nominated
James T. Elliott of Camden for Con-
gress, and his letter accepting the NOM
ination he uses this sensible language,
which shows that he understands the
political exigencies of the times and APP
preciates the position taken by the Re
publican party and the principles con-
tanned in its platform:
81 am a truly and thoroughly recon-
structed rebel. / say this is no canting
or Boosting spirit. / detest a hypocrite
and despise the man who, like the vain
glorious Pharisee of old, makes an Os-
tentatious parade of assumed humility
when his heart is full of pride and de
ceit. When | say that | am a recon-
structed rebel, do not say it in that
spirit which suggests extraordinary vir-
tue or claims extraordinary cOnsidera-
tions; nor, on the other hand, do | say
it in that spirit ofundue humility which
suggests a craven and coward heart
But l say it in that open, frank and
manly spirit of one who has the honesty
to confess that he has done wrong, and
the courage to say that he is sorry for it.
unhesitatinglya and unreservedly accept
the Republican platform as adopted at
Chicago, and viii sink or swim with it;
and believe that the principles therein
enunciated contain the great fundamen-
tai idea of restoring the Union upon a
fair basis. 1 believe the Republican
party has proved true and faithful to its
promises and policy, and will finally
succeed in establishing that policy.r
