THE Democrats nominated Mr.. T.. Il.
Perkins for Town Representative, at
their caucus on Saturday evening. This
secured them a sweet nights slumber,
and quiet thoughts during the succeed
ing day, no doubt. Mr.. Perkins lives
in Boston. He has advertised in this
paper his house in this town rs for sale.
We conclude that he does not intend to
live in st. Adams. If elected here he
could not represent us in the Massachu-
sets Legislature and we do not think
he oCouid represent us in the Legislature
of this state. Not att the expense
of any private interest and; his
private interest is very sure to inter-
fere, we candidly think, as we have rea-
son to. If the Democracy wish to
amuse themselves by voting for him,
we have no right to object; but it will
be very foolish for any Republicans to
play " fast and loosen with his name.
Mr.. Hunt is their fairly chosen cand
date-that is or ought to be enough to
secure him the election over d1ly Demo-
crat, whether he lives in the West, in
Boston, or st. Adams.

IN omitted Portion Of Mr.. Itcood's
:" Var Record"

In 1868 Victor Atwood was first Sc
lectman of the town af st. Adams, and
as such it was made his duty by tar to
do all that was possible on his part to-
wards filling the quota of the town. But
the State authorities were forced on ac-
count of Mr.. Atwood's remissness to
appoint special recruiting officer for
St. Adams, in order to get the quota
filled.
The following paper sets forth this
fact fully and shows where Mr.. Atwood's
sympathics were:
l certify that the following is an eX-
tract from the instructions to the SUI
perintendents of Recruiting issued by
the Adjutant General of the State on
the 3D. day of November 1868.
90 If the select men of any town should
refuse to perform the services assigned
them as recruiting officers you will at
once report the fact to the Adjutant and
Inspector General, and recommend some
suitable person TO act in their stead. If
the selectman of any town are remiss
in the performance of their duty you
will endeavor by cXhortation and re-
monstrance to remedy the evil"
That the semi-weekly report made to
the Adjutant and Inspector General
showed the state of recruiting in st. AL
bans to be so much behind that of other
towns in my district, that with the add
vice of the Adjutant and Inspector Cen
eral, appointed Lieut.. f. e. Bell re-
cruiting agent for the town ofSt. Adams,
and he was afterwards paid as such out
of the funds of the State Treasury.
That at this time 1 was Superinten-
dent of Recruiting and Victor Atwood,

men of the town of st. Adams.

1Hc contest ia Fi'0HLIjn CoUHfU.

The Burlington Times. as good
authority as the State affords, has the
following article on the contest in this
County, in its issue to-day. AS no man
is better acquainted with political men
all over the State than Mr.. BigclOw, his
emphatic endorsement of Mr.. Barlow
should set at rest any mind which has
been led to doubt by the INSCRIPTIONS
stories Of protested Republicans, who
are working for Il Dcmocrot-VictorA At
wood. The Times says:
We are glad to learn that the prospect
of the election ofthe Hon. Bradley Bar
low to the State Senate from Franklin
County grows more assured every day.
In the event of Mr.. Barlow's election
no county in Vermont will be more ably
and efficiently represented than Frank
lin, a statement that no one will dis
pute who has seen Mr. Barlow in form
er years on the floor of the House. TO
our mind he is one of the very best leg
islators in Vermont, having an cnerget-
ic, practical mind that is naturally at
war with all kinds of pretcntious lcgis-
lative "humbug." Franklin county has
not his equal for valuable public ability,
and we question whether the State has
his superior. Mr.. Atwood his oppon
ent is a Democrat of the malignant" An
dy Johnson" type. a man of generally
conceded private worth, and doubtless
sincere in his political convictions Mr..
Atwood is the representative of the obi
Gus ideas of the opposition, and should
therefore be unanimously repudiated by
every thoughtful Republican, since no
man can vote for him without endors-
ing his political position as "a Johnson
man" at time when even the bitterest
Democrats with difficulty swallowed
his eXcellency." We trust our friends
in Franklin County will honor Mr.. Bar
low and themselves by giving him a
handsome majority.

l have protested to be Republican
for great many years, and have so vot-
ed. think the party is composed of the
most loyal men i'll the United States
at any rate, no one belonging to it, to my
knowledge, ever was known to fire upon
the flag of our country, l am in SYM
pathy with the party because it has ac-
cOmplished so much in saving the cOun-
try from being overthrow by the rebels.
Now, the question with me is, whether
to vote for the nominees of the Republic
can party for County Offices and Town
Representative. The party have made
their nominations without a formal
protest having been made at either Con-
vention by any one. A friend of mine,
whom l call Benjamin, knows that do
not like Mr.. Barlow nor Mr. Hunt very
we'll, and he wants i shall vote for Mr..
Atwood to defeat Mr.. Barlow. This |
cannot do Because in voting for Mr..
Atwood L should give the lie to my
whole politicalJIfe and defeat myself at
last MIR. Atwood is not in political
sympathy with me-, butt ON the con-,
trary, is doing all he possibly can to UNI
do what our soldiers have waded through
blood to accomplish. If | do not vote
for Mr.. Barlow,iI shall cast my vote for
some other Republican of my personal
choice, who stands no chance of an ele &C.
ton, and throw my vote away 'a
W Nov, Benjatnin is a. friepd lef mine,
but am told that he is trying to break
up the Republican party 50 he can build
up party OF his own, and Wants me to
vote for him. Now, l understand that
Benjamin never voted a regular ticket
in his life, ahd-I have; consequently 1
am the best man if this be true. | think
| shall try to get up party Of my own,
as Aaron Burr did, and ask Benjamin to
vote for me. l cannot vote for his party
nor himself, because / am under greater
obligations to the Republican party. 1t,
has done more for the United States. /
do not think it would be good policy for
me to break away from the Republicans
and hang my destinies to private con-
Germ, for if benjamin should die, it
Would be the'end of his party On the
whole, think it will be the safest in
the long run to stick to the old ship,
which has,weathered the heaviest gales
of any ship that has sailed the seas.
cannot go with Benjamin in any event
until he votes once the regular ticket. l
would not vote for my own brotherifh
had acted so would you ? do not
think if, would be manly to throw my
vote away; L cannot vote for a Demo-
crat, consequently must vote the regu-
lar ticket, and let the independent can
didates go it on their own hook and play
into tile hands ofthe Democrats as usual.

A DEMOCRAT.-Mr. Atwood is a regu-
lar Democrat. He is endorsed as such
by. the argus, and was endorsed as Il
~ Democrat by Mr.. Atkins, at the Demo-
cratic Convention at Fairfield, on the
day of his nomination. He voted as a
against sustaining Congress
in the reconstruction measures. Mr..
Clark, Assistant Clerk of the House,
certifies that Mr.. Atwood so classified
I uhinsseyih the Legislative Manual for
1867. Mr.. Atwoodhas never acted with
the Republicans, nor been one of them,
Charlottesville claim tobesone. Yet There
are professed Republicans who desert
their own candidate, fairly nominated,
to support Mr. Atwood, an out and out
~ Democrat. Will the honest voters in
the party aid such a suicidal movement?

TOiCn Representative.

The Republican Caucus in this Town
last week nominated, by a unanimous
vote, George G. Hunt as the candidate
for Town Representative. Some gentle
men took part in the Caucus in ia
vor of another gentleman, who declin-
ed to be candidate, and they were fairly
beaten in friendly rivalry, in caucus.
BY TAXI ng part in the caucus as they
had a right to dc as Republicans, they
bound themselves fairly to stand by the
result of its action, and ought therefore
to support Mr.. Hunt. But will they do
this? Did they mean to do it when
they took part in the caucus? We think
not for we understand that the man
who moved the nomination of Mr.. Wy
man intended, whoever might be nomi-
mated, to run as candidate himself,
and will so run. Thus he demonstrates
that, from first to last, his political ac-
ton was insincere and factious. If Re-
publicans who profess to care anything
at all about their party will sustain such
actions and their author, we would like
to know in what way their devotion to
party can be proved. Not, certainly, in
any manner which conflicts with their
personal feelings.
Mr.. Hunt was fairly nominated, and
it was understood for some time that he
would be presented to the caucus for
spoken Republican. In this fact is
found the key to all the opposition
there is against him that his opinions
are defined and positive, and he does not
fear to so express himself. He is a fair
representative of the loyal and just
hopes of Young America. The Conserv-
alive grass that feeds.modern Democra-
cy does not grow under his feet. He is
j not a promoter or encourager of strife in
his party. If he has any quarrels,
they are merely personal, and no man
who finds him an opponent has failed to
find him an open md manly one. He
looks his enemies and friends in the face,
=, and is as sencere with one class as with
the other. He is, therefore, to be relied
upon, and is therefore, also, to be trusted.
He is competent for the position to
which we doubt not he will be elected.
There is no reason why Republicans
. should hesitate to sustain him. There
is every fair reason why they should
< sustain him, if they do not want to help
Democracy to another triumph, as was
done last fall. The young men of the
party do the UOrk, and it is fair that
their choice for Town Representative
should be handsomely elected. We are
greatly mistaken in the temper of the
party if Mr.. Hunt does not come out
elected on the first ballot tomorrow
For this, every disinterested friend of the
cause, and every one who would rebuke
factious opposition and especially the
young men of the party, who have some
pride of discipline and of success in theil
hearts-should wor heartily and per.
sistently.

st. Francis of Sales narrates the conversion
pf libertine as follows. Two young men, one
pf them non-Catholic, schoolmates of his in
Paris, spent the night in scurrilous dances at
the Faubourg st. jacques. While there they
beard the convent bell at the Carthusian
church. The on-Catholic youth asked of his
companion what the sound meant, and having
beard such an explanation of it as the other
eould give, "oh, my God r. he exclaimed, chow
purs-they join the angels in their exercises,
hnd we act like beastsp The following day,
anxious to test the truth Of what he had heard,
he repaired to the church at the hour of divine
pffice and found the monks assembled in their
fhoir, insensible TO every other occupation but
that of singing che praises of the Lord. The
youth remained riveted to the spot,
Fnchauted at the sight of such sincere worship
filtered to God, and yielding to that grace, q
rst ray of which had fallen upon him in the
place of abomination, he was, not long after,
|eceived into the bosom of the Church.

A beautiful trait of character and lovely
custom of the Spanish peasantry appears in
heir love for parents. They yield to them
they are aged, and the children are men and
women grown. The married delight to have
heir parents to direct and govern them, as in
and these children even quarrel
lmong themselves to get and keep possession
bf their aged parents. This trait of character
Is said to mark slow country, where the past,
the ancient, is held in honor; while progress
has no such reverence for old age. Would that
We had little more Spain in Young America, if
i is Spanish to honor ones father and mother.
