THE VERMONT ELECTIONs.-Nc
mont heads the list of Fall Elections.
She votes ON Tuesday of next week, and
will be followed 10y California and
Maine. II she docs well, therefore, she
will send stimulating impulse to the
Republicans of those States, which will
be taken up and reproduced with aug
mcntod effect, until the influence Oft the
Green Mountain Boys shall have made
the entire circuit of the Fall Elections,
eliminating in the g1andcr triumph of
Gen. Grant in the Presidential contest.
We trust, therefore, that our Republic
can friends in that State are fully alive
to the importance of their action at the
polls, and that now, as heretofore, they
will not fail to completely match their
cXigcncy.
We sympathiZc with them, too, fer
this reason, that obey cannot enjoy the
inspirting contact of - iocmCn worthy
of their stcel.n The Democratic party
of Vermont amounts to nOthing-it can
hardly Keep up The appearance of res
pectahlc contest. The Republicans,
therefore, have to act from an inherent
sense OF duty and from an enlarged con-
sideration of the requirements of the
country But these are sufficient. They
teach that the practical duty now before
the Vermont Republicans is simply to
get out Il full vote F! Give liz that, and Il
noble victory follows as II matter OF
course. Let Maine hear of that, and she
will easily add thousand or two to her
majority for Chamberlain. Let all the
Republicans of the Union hear it, and
their efficiency in furtherancc of the
good cause will be immensely strength
lists of the new revolutionary schemes
hear it, and they will begin to feel that
the people are awake and that the day
of the rebel plotters has gone by. Let
us have, then, by all means, a full Re-
publican vote in Vermont at the coming
Election. Ii steps have not yet been
taken to bring it out in all sections OF
the State, let the neglect be repaired in
stantly. One week of thorough, cncr-
getic work will accomplish wonders, cs-
pecially where the people are already
right IN sentiment. We entreat oul
