several have over s1OO, while managers get
s145 and s16O. Large numbers of women are
engaged as telegraphers in England and
France. one hundred and sixty being EN-

have been reduced to an average of only five
shillings sterling, or about 81 per week, which
is barely sufficient to support existence.

the frames of the cattle and let them be

ST. ALBANS, VT.
FRIDAY. july II, 1868.

OuR PoLlTICS.-A correspondent Of
the Burlington Free Press writing from
st. Adams on the 18th, has the follow
ing to say relative to our local politics:
Since The memorable Hoyt-BaXter
campaign the politics ofthc county have
been very much disturbed, and its per-
ncious effects resulted in the sending
of a Democratic Senator from CHS cOun-
tY and Il Democratic member from this
town. last fall. Our county convention
met on the I'd and made the usual NOM
nations with degree of unanimity sur
prising 10 thc friends of the Republican
party, so much 50. as to forCshadOW the
hope of the entire ticket being elected in
September, although the divi sion in
our ranks may affect the vote of some
of the nominees The gran, Club, or
gained in this town with such Il -four
ish OF trumpcts, bat which FELL into
such rapid and immediate decline, we
hear has begin to show signs of life again
and may do GOOD deal toward uniting
our strength. On The main issue of
Grant or Seymour, Franklin County
will be all that could be desired. and the
strife ON local issues will of itself bring
out full vote and consolidate more
closely the Republican ranks on that
]
Whether "thc strife ON local issues"
will consolidate the Republican ranks,
is Il matter of opinion or of fact upon
which we do not quite agree with the
above quoted correspondent. Where
/ there is division, and that division is
/ fostered and encouraged, il can hardly
be supposed to promote consolidation,
which supposcs unity. 1t is the fear
that such "strifC on local issues will
/ tend to break the Republican ranks,
finally, and prove anything but an Gle
ment of cohesion to the party, that
should cause each man to weigh the
matter we'll before he decides to become
an instrument or tool in such strife.
/ The triumph of principles is what the
/ Republican party is supposed to be fight
ing for, no less in county than in the
State Local issues over nominations
should be made in the party only when
the nominating power has clearly been
blinded and deceived, and the election
of the nominees would be against the
triumph of the principles of the party.
| Otherwise in the election all the issues
should be subordinated to that with the
! common, organized foe.
