DYER D. LUN.
Springfield, Vt, Sept. 1865.
From the Montpelier Freeman.
Tnitcd S,ota. S.,,,


The approaching session Of the Legislature viii
have, "a, its most important work, the election Of
United States Senator for SIX years from the
fourth Of March next We presume Mr. Ed
muujs, the Senator whose term expires next
March, will be unanimously selected ~ his own
successor; certainly we know nothing in his pub
lie career. and have learned Of no feeling in the
state which leads us TO any different conclusion.
Mr. Edmunds was appointed IN the Spring Of
l-6j, on the death Of Senator Foot, a Senator
during the remaining recess Of the Legislature; ;
and when the Legislature assembled he was
chosen without opposition for Mr. FOots unex-
pirei term. He entered at once upon active
work in his new position, and long ago earned
the same reputation as a legislator at Washing
ton, which he acquired here. He is a quick and
accurate thinker. and a man who works while
there is any work to do; and these habits put
him at once into the front rank in the Senate
and at first led some Of the older members to
cridcise him as too officious for n new member
When they found however, that he was not pushing
himself into notice, but simply pushing the pub
lie business; that il was his habit 10 investigate
weigh and judge every measure before the Sen
ate, before acting or speaking upon it,; and that
he shed light instead Of darkness upon every
question he touched; they were soon quite ready
To- let him pull as strong an oar as any one.
y good evidence Of his present position is
found in the fact that he presented in the Repub-
lican caucus, at the recent assembling Of Con-
gress, the resolution which was adopted after
considerable opposition by that body, and after
ward by the solid vote of the Republicans in
both Houses, providing for an adjournment
until October 18th, and then until November
lOth. His clear apprehension of what the crisis
demanded, and his prOmptitude in preparing
and presenting the fruit Of his thought, made
him in that as they make him in whatever he
does, natural leader; and he is this, as it
always seemed to us, without ostentation, and
because he gets ready for work before most men
do, and seizes at once upon practical methods OF
procedure
We have no time and there is no need to go
over Mr. Edmunds', whole course in the Senate.
He has been criticised, as every man will be
who acts promptly and energetically upon his
own Judgment, and he finds himself sometimes
with the minority, as well as often with the
majority of the Senate. He has shown himself,

however, on all political questions, to be fully
IN IN accord with the advanced Republicanism Of
the people of Vermont, his place being clearly
among the Radical Republicans Of the Senate
and Of the country. In our House of Represen-
tatives, and in our State Senate he was one of
the most useful members; and we can but think
that there is now in the United States Senate no
man wto has greater capacity and greater in
clination for legislative work, who has a better
disciplined or more active intellect, who has
greater zeal or energy in the public service, who
Is more familiar with parliamentary law or the
methods Of legislation, who is more thoroughly
and consistently Republican in his principles.
or who gives greater promise Of usefulness as
Senator, than Mr. Edmunds. The State viii

servant, IN giving him hearty re-election.

GEnR1T SMITH TO GIN. LEE.-Gerrit smith
publishes a letter to Gen Lee, in which he tells
him some pretty plain and useful truths. He
argues that Lees letter to Bosecrans foreshadows
the re-establshment of slavery, although it dis
claims such purpose. He says;
''Your letter virtually denies that to ensave
your fellow-men is to 'oppress them Nay, it
goes so far as, in effect, to declare that to doom
them and their endless posterity to stripes and
chains and unrequited toll and rayless ignorance
and the loss Of every right, is to look upon them
with kindness If you gentlemen do not see
that TO enslave men in the past was to 'oppress
them and 70 laek kindness toward them,' why
should it be supposed that you would see op-
