The people of Vermont are assessed
by tax-cnllectors, oppressed by the
action of the prevailing tariff system,
and mulcted in all the various ways
devised by Radical Congress. What
such people require is to be told just
why and how they are oppressed.
They sleep under dull consciousness
ot-wropg. tits the duty of those who
have studied the philosophy of their
wrongs, to awaken them to an exact
knowledge of the tricks of their
tyrants, and of the means of redress.
~ r. World.
Poor miserable fellows that they
arc. They don't know how terribly
they are taxed, and actually increase
their majority near fifty per cent? so
much do they like oppression and so
soundly do they sleep under dull
consciousness OF wrong. By the way.
the Vermont boys couldn't have been
very sleepy to roll up such rousing
majority. The Democracy of this
county ought to have sent them one
or two of their orators to tell them
just Why and how they are oppressed.
Their obtuseness is most-:fedrfut!

yTHE Cincinnati Enquirer, in copy
ing an article from the Round Table,
says it is literary journal which.
though avowing a neutrality in party
politics, has always heretofore advo-
Gated the cause of the Republican
party" On the contrary, the Round
Table has not supported the Republic
can party, but has labored zealously
in the interests of the Democratic
party. It supported MCCLELLAN for
President ia 1864, and is in favor of
BLAIR and SEYMOUR now. There is
not much Republicanism in that, we
think But the Enquirer thought to
make point for its party. and hence
lied.

Our dispatches Festerday announce
that the Republicans of the Green
Mountain State have proved true to
themselves and their former record of
devotion to the country. The Demo-
Gratis made every exertion to reduce
the Republican majority of last year
for the purpose Of making an effect
upon the election in Maine, which
takes place week after next. The
New York World urged upon the
Democrats to do their best in the
following inspiring strain:
Shoulders to the wheel, Democrats
of Vermont Stir yourselves aud
your neighborsl Set your orators
tongues wagging, aud, even before
you do that, urge the Democratic
editors in your State to let their pens
touch paper oftener thantheir chlns
droop upon their desksl Send for
| the Weekly and the CAMPAIGN Wortd!
Let the gorges of the Green Noun .
/ tainsl ring with shouts OF frequent
mass meetingsl Fight; and light to
win!
! Well, the Democrats did put their
i shoulders to the wheel, and the result
! is a Republican gain of near fifty per
cent. IF Maine will only do as well,
the Presidential election is virtually
decided. The current will be so IN.
mistakeable that the Democracy will
/ despair Of success and greatly relax
their efforts.
l We urge the Republicans of Indi
ana to put forth every effort to emu
late the triumph Of the Vermont Re
publicans. Indiana, in October, mus
send back an equally glorious res pons
to the greeting of Vermont. We ar
confident she will do it

In the year which is now drawing to Its END,
the art the skill and the labor Of the people OF
the United States have been employed with
greater diligence and Vigor, and on broader
fields, than ever before, and the fruits OF the
earth have been gathered into the granary and
the storehouse in marvellous abundance our
HIGHWAYS have been heightened and new aud
prolific regions have been occupied. we are
permitted to hope the long protracted political
and sectional dissensons are, lat no distant day,
TO give place to returning harmony and frater-
nal affection throughout the Republic. Many
foreign States have entered into liberal agree
ments with us, while nations which are tar OFT
and which heretofore have been unsoclal and
exclusive have become our friends. The annual
period Of rest which We have reached III health
and tranquility, and which is crowned with so
many blessings is by universal consent conVen,
lent and suitable one for cultivating personal
picty and practising public devotion.
I therefore recommend that Thursday, the
Goth day of November next, be set apart and
observed by all the people Of the United States
as a day Tor public praise, thanksgiving and
prayer to the Almighty Creator and Divine
Ruler of the Universe, by whose ever watch
full, mcrciful and gracious providence alone
States, no less than families and Individual
men. do live and move and have their being.
In witness whereof [ have hcrcunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. 70,
Done at the city Of Washington this twelfth
day of October, in The year of our Lord one
