Frank Confession.

It's said "an honest confession is good for
the SOUL Here is what the n. Y. Citizen,
the acknowledged organ Of the young demo-
craey of New York, says regarding the Re-
publican ticket:
Grant and Coliax make a ticket hard to
beat. The wonderful military success of the
one, and the great political ability ofthe other
cannot be written down or belttled by news
paper editors; and the attempt to do so is a
folly only worthy of the late Democratic party.
The hero of Donelson Corinth, most wonder
ful OF all, Of Vicksburgh, and finally of Rich
mond, is not third-rate General and no liter
AIRY scribe can make him one The gentleman
who has worked his way up to the Speakership
OF the House of Representatives, is not bad
politician, and those who buy him for one will
not make profitable bargain. Probably
there are no two leading names stronger in.
diyidually or collectively, than the two which
have been put forward And if they do not
receive the support of the people, It will be
from other than personal reasons"
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1868-06-17

1t is a remarkable fact, that the letters in
which the Republican candidates formally
accept the nominations rendered them, each
closes with the one word which so cmphatieal-
y expresses the longing Of the American
heart to-day, PcaceW
The people long for "national concord and
peace and expect to obtain it, in the manner
clearly indicated by Vice-President Coliax.
They respond to the uttcrance of General
Grant, Let us have peace with hearty
exclamation.
The war chieltan Of the nation opens the
new campaign with an invocation to peace
General Grant won for the nation, through
arms what could never have been attained
for it in any other manner. President Grant
will bring to it peace and universal prosperi-
ty, economy of administration and the re-
duction of the public debt all the inevitable
consequences Of the policy he lays down,
enforcement of the Chicago platform, and the
execution Of the will Of the people.
" Let us have peace Four years of civil
war, aud four years of political strife. An
armed minority, strongly fortified, for four
years held the majority Of the people at bay
and kept the country in bloody strife That
same minority, intrenched in the nations
strongest hold, has involved US in another four
years struggle as disastrous to property, if
not to life and as seriously straining to the
tenacity of our institutions.
1t is fitting that he who led the nations
hosts in its struggle for actual existence,
should now be their chosen leader in the con-
test for its true life. There are but two
arbiters of our nations destiny, the sword and
the ballot-box. The foes Of freedom sought
to crush il friends by resort to the former
and failed. They then debauched the head
of the nation, and through prolonged strug-
gle have continued the turmoil They now
appeal to the ballot-box. If they succeed
there, it but intensfes the struggle If they
lose, then freedom and peace achieve fna
triumph.
Harmony and wisdom in our national coun
ellis will restore the hope and confidence the
country needs in order that prosperity anC
peace may follow. A President in whose sa
gocity, moderation and prudence we can pac,
implicit trust, acting in harmony with Con
gress, and Congress with the people, pursuing
policy of economy, and impartial recognition
of the rights of all, cannot fail in bringing u
a lasting peace
The prayer of the nation is " Let us hay
peace" And they ask it, and will receive i
from General GRANT.-Al5any Journal.

boys into the two acre corm6ed they had

long enough to eat the product, and that he
must therefore, love those who are TO come
after him, or he would not plant trees Of
whose fruits they are more likely to partake
than he. Now, whenever a Spaniard eats
peach, cherry or pear, by the roadside,
he works out little hole in the ground with
his foot, and plants the stone he thinks Of

Important Business Change.

During the past wcet Mr. JAMES II. LANo-
DON has sold his extensive and valuable water
power and mill property, located upon both
sides Of the river in this village, to MIR. DEN-
IsoN TAFr So important change in the old
business landmarks Of the community seems
worthy of especial notice.
Thirty-six years ago Mr.. Langdon--then
under age-began very small business as a
dealer in -four Two years later he COM
mencod the manufacture of -four, which bus
mess he has steadily followed till the present
time. From daily production Of two or
three barrels, the business has finally reached
a magnitude Of three hundred barrels-an in
crease Of more than a hundred fold. The
productions of his mill have attained an ac-
knowlcdgcd standard Of excellence unknown
to any other Eastern manufacturer From
such a small beginning, by means Of well-di-
rected industry economy, and uniform probi-
ty, Mr.. Langdon long since won the distinc-
tion Of being the leading--and by far the
wealthicst-businoss man in our community.
There is one striking fact we have often heard
him mention: that there had been no year
during his extended business life in which
there was not balance, Of greater or smaller
amount to carry to the proft side Of the
ledger This seems very remarkable in bust
nessso extended, aud subject to such unayoid-
able fluctuations
Mr. Langdon retires from our more active
business circles, at the early age Of dfty-fyc
in the prime of life and we are sure he
carries with him the profound respect and
good wishes of all in ourcommunty who have
known him so long and SO we'll And we
trust he may long be spared to enjoy his we'll
earned fortune-to partake Of those domestic
enjoyments which an active business life often
sadly curtails-and devote himselfto those no.
bic charities which would furnish themost ap.
propriato crowuiug-glory to all his successes.
Mr.. Taft, who succeeds Mr. Langdon, i,
also successful manufacturer, and every way
/ qualified for the work he has undertaken
Possessed of abundant means, with untrine
energy, sagacity, and high-toned character il
change was to be made no worthier success
sor could have been found In saying this
we do but express the universal judgment o.
the community. A business so extended as
this is of necessity closely identified with tn,

Judge Chase Writes n Letter.

The following letter from Judge Chase to
a friend has got into print, as was probably
meant it should The story Of the injustice
done him by the hot impeachment republic
cans, and the suspicion that he was changing

presidency, are the provocation to its writing

Talk and Silence.
ny HENRY WARD DEEcnER.

Talking is not simply habit. but a matter
of original constitution. Some persons have
talking endowment. and some have not.
There Is a positive faculty of expression or
vocalization Of which silence is merely the
negative. As cold is only tn. absence of
heat so silence may be, not the result of pru-
dcnee b,t the want of ciH or imnulse of
speeeh There is popular IMPRESSION that
great takers are of course flippant. and that
Silent pcople are presumptyeiy. wise. To

equivalent to saving that he thinks but little.

Resignation Of Mr.. Rollins.

WASHINGTON, june 8.
MIR, +. II. Rollins to-day rendered his res
ignation as Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., to take effect upon the confirmation of
his successor. He has had this step under
consideration for several months, but the OPP
position of friends has deferred him until now.
The fact that he has not for long time had
any voice in the appointment or removal OF
officers in his department, thus defeating his
efforts to collect the revenue and punish
frauds, has been one Of the leading reasons
for his course, and he now feels that il is out
of his power to give satisfaction to the coun-
try. His health is also impaired by severe
labor, and other matters of domestic nature
have had more or less effect upon him. He
has been an officer in the department for the
past five years. FIRST as cashier under Mr.
Lewis; next as deputy commissioner under
MIR. Orion, and finally as commissioner by
appointment of Mr.. Johnson.-Boston Adj
