THE VERMONT VICTORY.
10000 .M.AJORTTY.

The election for States Officers in Yer
mont resulted in majority for the Re-
publican candidates of 30,000-a gain of
nearly 10, 900 over the last election. The
campaign was MOSS exciting one, and
the vote was the largest ever polled in
the State. Each party placed itself
squarely on its respective platform as
adopted at the National Conventions, and
the issue made was the same which is
before the country to be decided on the
Sd of November next. For this reason
both parties worked with zeal unknown
before, as the result was considered an
indication of what the general result
would be in November The Democracy
confidently expected to reduce the usual
majority very materially, and are deci-
dedly taken back by the turn affairs
have taken. IF Maine does as we'll next
week, there will be no doubt in regard
to the October elections.

a DEMOCRATIC LIE NAILED.

Among the lies on their rounds of the
Democratic press is the statement that,
during the last two months Of Congress,
the debt of the nation was increased S13,-
219, $685. This charge is given with
out one. word of explanation, and the peo
pls are left to draw the conclusion that
Republicans are raising the cry of re-
trenchment merely to delude the country
The truth is, that nearly the whole
amount is the bonds of the Government
loaned to the Pacific railroad, at the rate
of from $4,000 to s32 900 per mile, to
enable the construction of said enterprise
Such aid has been extended, from time to
time, as successive portions of the track
have been completed, for the past dozen
years These new obligations were first
added to the official statement of the
public debt, in McCulloch's last report
The aid extended by the Government
to the Pacific road is in the way of loan
of its credit.The bonds so issued are
secured by mortgage on the whole pro-
perty of the corporation. Such indebted
ness of the United States is only con-
structive, not actual. It enters into the
official statement of the public indebted
ness, but no more increases the public
| debt in reality than an individuals debt
is enlarged by indorsing neighbours pa
per, and taking security in mortgage on

THE CONGRESSIONAL CoNVENTIoN.-
We give in another column the official
proceedings of this convention. The
unan;mity and harmony which character
lied it was one of the most marked fea-

date largely increased majority.
