in New England, that DIR. Samuel Hop

first open advocate af the abolition OF
slavery in this country. But John Wool

sey, began his labors in 1850, at the year

ness of slaveholding. and the terrible

rebel general McCray, the other des-
perado by the name of Hill, having ia.e-
" come into the county from the soush'

That night, after the attempted assassin
alton, the two outlaws went to west
Point. Their friends collected, and they
had time of general merriment, healths
being drank to the man who wasted his
powder. On the same day dispatch
was received from Memphis that senator
Barber of Chittenden County, had been
shot through window with buck-shot,
three taking effect in the head, and one
in the arm. The simultaneous attempt
to assassinate members of the legislature
in parts of the State widely separated,
with the undeniable evidences of gene
raj understanding among the assassins in
White County, coupled with the advice
of the Gazette, and the threats of lead
ing rebels, alias democrats, in various
parts of the State, are sufficient to con-
vince the writer that assassination is q
part of the programme for the Fall cam
paign, and that the leaders of the democ-
racy in this part of the state are respon
sible for it.

Vermont Election.
OVERWHELMING UNION TRIuMPH-ovER
5000 GAM

5000 GAINl
The result Of the election in this State
ON Tuesday is an overwhelming union
triumph. The democratic party are SO
thoroughly abolished, that they will here
after need affidavits to prove that they
took any part in the election. The union
majority will probably be more than 20
600, being union gain of more than 5000
over our majority of last year. We had
nothing to contend for in the State but
an increased majority; for that we struck
and got it. 1t is glorious victory.
Vermont has thus spoken with no I'M
certain sound. She sends greeting to
her sister states throughout the country.
All loyal and patriotic hearts will be
gladdened by the news from the Green
Mountain State. Now for Maine!

EQUAL TAXATION. Every man is
oppressiyely taxed by the National Gov
ernment." Is this true? Whoever has
an income of 81, 100 year, is taxed So.
Where ones income is 81 900 or less, he
is not taxed farthing by the General
Government. Not one man in a thous-
and now pays national tax. The rich
pay; but the poor and those in moderate
circumstances are exempt from this tax.
But how will it be if the democratic
idea of equal taxation of every species
of property is adopted? The rich cap
italist would pay no greater proportion
of the tax ON his $4,000 income, or on
his gold and silver plate, or on his car
riages and diamonds, than the farmer
would on his farm stock and implements.
The tax of the moneyed man would be
greatly reduced, and the tax of the farm
er would be fully quadrupled.

During the progress of the war, and

Lincoln and his Cabinet, General Grant
foresaw the necessity of emancipation,
and not only as u means of suppressing
the rebellion, but to the future peace Of
the country; and on the 30th of Aug.

burne of Illinois, in these words:
'VIcKscURG, Mss, Aug. 80, 1862.
DEAR SIR: The people need not
quarrel over the institution of slavery.
What vice president Stevens acknowledge
es as the cornerstone of the confederacy
is already knocked out. Slavery is al
ready dead, and cannot be resurrected.
1t would take standing army to main
tain slavery in the south if we were to
make peace to-day, guaranteeing to the
south all their former privileges. | new

could be called anti-slavery, but / try to
judge fairly and honestly, and it became
patent to my mind early in the rebellion,
that the North and South could never
live in peace with each other except as
one nation, and that without slavery.
AS anxious as / am to see peace estab-
lished, would not be willing to see any
settlement until this question is settled.
Your sincere friend,

VERMONT CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-Tbe
Central Railroad owns and are now run
ming sixty locomotives. In addition to
these, one is on the stocks and nearly
completed at the shops of the company
in st. Adams, and four of the "Taun-
ton" make have been purchased recently
to reinforce the motive power of the road.
The company will increase this number
with locomotives of their own make to
seventy-five as soon as possible. Their
locomotives, during the months of June
and July of this year, have run $4,000
miles in excess of the same months of
1867.
Forty-two passenger and sixteen bag
gage cars are owned, and are now in use
by the company, and this number is be-
ing augmented by constant manufacture
OF SIX cars per month. In addition to
the foregoing, an extra lot of 100 box
freight and so platform cars are to be
added Immediately. All of these cars
are to be built at the shops of the COM
pany at st. Adams, which is now turn
ing out two box cars or three platform
cars per diem. All freight cars of re-
cent or present build are furnished with
rubber springs, eight inches in length
and nine inches in diameter, which, with
the lateral motion that has been nicely
obtained by recent improvements, gives
an ease of motion approximating to the
passenger cars. These additions and
improvements are made necessary by the
constantly increasing business of the
road.
