Montpelier and Wells River Railroad.

At meeting held at Village Hall on
Saturday evening the Committee appointed
to visit Portland, made a verbal report, the
substance of which was, that they attended
the Convention at Portland called by the
Corporators Of the Portland and Rutland
road, to which those interested in other con-
Meeting routes were invited. The meeting at
Portland was harmonious, and they found
some of the strongest and most reliable rail
road men in Portland friendly to the Wells
River and Montpelier route--men that will
not only talk, but tcork in favor of this route.
The people of Portland have had their atten-
ton called to the White Mountain and st.
Johnsbury route, and were generally unac-
quainted with the advantages of the Wells
River road They are, however, now getting
the facts before them, and as they do so this
route is fast gaining friends,
The Committee had an informal meeting
with the President and Directors of the Con
cord and Montreal road, which terminates a
! Wells River and found them favorably i'm
pressed with this road from Wells River /,
,, Montpelier. They were not, however, pre-
pared to make a definite proposition accept
e able to the Committee, but gave such assur
4 ances as warrant the Committee in the opnio
q that, in case liberal subscription to the stoc
" can be obtained at Montpelier, and from tn
inhabitants on the route, and others interest
c ed therein, the necessary help can be obtaine
to build and equip the road The COMMITTEE
: recommend an earnest aud determined eilor
on the part of those located on the propose
+ road to secure the building of the same, an

Who Shall Rear The standard !

We are now within less than eight weeks
of the day on which the Democratic National
Convention is to be holden, and yet there are
no settled indications upon whom the dstin-
guishcd honor-if such il shall prove-of
Presidential nomination will fall On one
day the loyal element seems to be in the as
cendant. and Gen. Hancock is the layorite,
with his noble war record but then comes up
the recollection of his prominent agency in
the trial and conviction Of Mrs Surratt, and
his prospects suddenly kick the beam for
neither his gallant bearing during the rebel
lion, nor his more questionable partizan SER
vice at Now Orleans, can atone for this great
offence. Another day the peace element is in
the ascendant, aud Pendleton stock bears a
premium. And then, despairiug of success with
legitimate Democrat raid into the Re-
publican ranks is threatened, in favor of
Judge Chase, or Charles Francis Adams, or
some other one who can be sufficiently de-
moralized by the compliment to accept the
nomination.
The truth is, there are irreconcilable differ
ences in principle existing in the ranks of the
Democratic party-between the loyal and the
disloyal during the late war, and between the
regulators of the West and those in the East
who would honorably sustain the obligations
of the government which viii effectually
prevent a union of the party upon any repre-
sentative Democrat In fact, no one man can
represent these hostile elements; and their
only possible hope of success must lie in find
ing renegade Republican, or possibly in
taking up at the last moment an entirely new
and unthought-of Democrat, Ia franklin
Pierce, and rushing him through upon tho
" go-it-blind principle.
We incline to the belief, however, that the
great and rapidly increasing influence and
boldness of the reputation, anti-war element
in the party, especially at the great West, to-
gether with the ignominous failure of the
semi-loyal experiment of the last Presidential
election, will induce them to take the other
tack-and that Mr. Pendlcton will be the
standard-bearer of the party.
But it can make little difference so far a.
the result is concerned, who wears the empty
honor of nomination That Gen Grant
will be President by an unprecedented popu-
lar majority, no sane man can doubt. 1t only
behooves the party to select candidate, and
plan and conduct campaigns that shall leave
them the best possible record for the future.

Mr.. Woodbridge and Mr.. washburne.

In the famous TRADE of Mr.. Donnelly he
alluded to difficulty between Mr.. Washburnc
of Illinois and Mr. Woodbridge of Vermont,
as follows
He mir. Washburnel told the gentleman
from Vermont Mr., Woodbridge the other
day, that every corrupt and profligate meas
ure that was passed in this body had met
with his support, and when the gentleman
from Vermont rose upon him he cringed out
of it like whipped spaniel.
Mr.. Woodbridge alluded to this in the de-
bate on Monday and after saying a good
word for greater courtesy in debate, went on
to say:
He knew his friend from Illinois said what
he ought not to have said on that occasion,
and he Mr. Woodbridge was irritated by
the remarks but he knew where the gentle
mans reputation came from and on what he
based his iame--it was economy. There
could be no more successful man in Congress
than his friend from Illinois. The gentleman
was not Of his style precisely. daughter
He did what he deemed was right; he accord.
cd TO the gentleman the same credit that he
claimed for himself but it seemed to hin
when poor woman or orphan came to ask
for the discharge of a debt which the govern.
ment owed, and which was just as much of {
debt as though he owed it to the Speaker, th'
gentleman should not get up in his place ant
cry robbery, POPULATION and destruction.
1t is not, Mr. Woodbridge said, in accordance
with my taste; it is in accordance with his
