ing harmony and iraicrnal affection through
out The Republic. Many foreign states have
entered into liberal agl eemcnts with us. while
nations which are far off. and which. hereto
fore, have been unsocial aud exclusive. have
become our friends. The annual period of

tranquility, and which is crowned with 50
many blessings, is, by universal consent q
convenient and suitable one for cultvating
personal piety and practising public devotion.
/. therefore, recommend that Thursday. the

observed by all the people OF the United
States rs day for public praise, Thanksgiving
and prayer to The Almighty Creator and Dr.

LETTER FROM JTDGE FOL.g.V.D.

The following letter from Judge Poland
was written in response TO an invitation
given in behalf of the Grant and Colfax
Club of this town to deliveran address here,
upon his return TO Vermont during the va
cation of Congress:-
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July q, 1865.
Ny Dear Sir II received yours tonight.
| shall be most happy to accept your kind
invitation tospeak tony Brattleboro friends.
1t is very doubtful, however, if am able
to.
l am very glad to see you moving. OF
course we know Vermont is safe but that
is not all we ought to do, to give our vote
for the candidates of the party. Vermont
is the first State to vote, and it is all impor-
tant that we increase our vote. Ii is an in
dication of the popular sentiment that will
have great effect in other States that are
not so certain as Vermont. In this way we
can multiply our vote tentold. Vermont
ought to give HiTty thousand majority. If
all our people would turn out and vote there
would not be the slightest trouble in doing
it. If we would do it, 1 believe we should
settle the Presidential election in our favor.
falling off in our vote would have cor
responding disastrous effect. flour people
could all feel and see the importance of this
it would be done. Set the ball rolling. /

Have your papers urge this view upon our
good Vermont people.

Last evening, Wednesday the 10Th inst,
was one long to be remembered by many
of the Masonic fraternity, and others of this
vicinity. Golden Rule Lodge of our viii
lage and town having resolved TO celebrate
the completion of their new hall, laid ann
pie plans for the occasion, which at the
time named were most happily executed.
The Lodges of Keene, Winchester and
BrattIeboro, were numerously represented
here. "The Hugh De Paynes" Encamp-
ment No. of Keene was also represented
by large number of its members. These
appeared in splendid uniform and fully
equipped with insignia peculiar to them
selves, and presented the noatest and most
beautiful exhibition of the kind ever wit
messed in this vicinity, and one, we venture
to assert, not to be anywhere excelled.
Their equipment is new, neat and rich.
An extra train of cars was chartered to
bring guests from Keene and Winchester.
Golden Rule Lodge with Hinsdale Cornet
Band repaired to the depot to meet them
and escort them through our streets and
then TO Masonic Hall. AZ 81 o'clock the
procession was reformed and conducted to
the congregational church, where the tOl-
lowing exercises were listened 10 by large
audience; Reading a selection OF scripture

VOTES or THE C.TuP.sEG.,.

The Philadelphia Post says: GAN the
Democratic papers are busy trying to prove
that Horatio Seymour was loyal during the
Rebellion. Nobody takes this trouble for
Grant, because ii is not necessary"
The Oneida Dispatch has found out
why Seymour is statesman. Because he
is war man in time of peace, and peace
man in time of war. In peace he is irwin
chile, in war he is invisible. lie never had
anything to do with national affairs, except
to oppose the draft and denounce the Union
soldiers as "invaders" and "Lincoln's hire
lings." Does that make him statesman?
The Montgomery (Ala.) Sentinel says
Frank =. Blair reminds us of that NOR
tai angel who went up in balloon and
landed in the bottom of well. His mill
tary record, as he now stands, will not give
him a true soldier. His present political
every man with family and home i'm the
country. He seeks Office for the purpose
of inaugurating civil war"
The Oneida Dispatch says: "When IIo-
ratio first ran for Governor of this State, he
went so far behind his ticket, that though
every other candidate thereon was elected,
he was thrashed and laid out by Washing
ton Hunt. In 1854, .he was again whipped
by Myron III. Clark. In 1864 he was whip
ped for the third time, by Reuben Il. Fen
ton. Accustomed to defeat he is the prop
err man to lead the forlorn hope of the De-
mocracy in their last trip up Salt River"
"A shrewd Southern editor says: "The
popularity of Seymour and Blair is some
thing like the fever and ague-it cannot be
found in any place where particular inqui-
ry is made for it. Inthe settlements where
the "shakes" are supposed to have lodg-
ment, the people inform inquirers that they
do not have them there, but the inhabt-
ants of another place which they designate
have them lawfully" So Eastern Demo-
Gratis declare that their ticket, though not
strong here, has great popularity in the
West and Western Democrats, while CON
Tossing to Democratic disappointment in
that section, say that their ticket win run
well In the East"

same time. Compare the fitness of Colfax
to preside over the Senate, with the fitness
of Blair for the same office. Think of the
present condition of the south, the spirit of
the disloyal, the disposition of the loyal
people, the poverty and restitution of the
country, the tendency to lawlessness and
bloodshed, and ask, under which rule, that
of the Republican candidates, or the DEM
ocratlc candidates, is peace and order and
law most likely to prevail and become es-
tablished? Judging from the character
and acts of the candidates on the one side
and the other, we feel sure that with Grant
and Colfax all will be well with the pros
pect ofhaving the others in office, we should
feel an uncertainty and insecurity painful
TO think of. We are confident that the 10y
atty and intelligence, and patriotism of the
people will secure for our candidates a tri-
umphant majority, and we hope their
friends and supporters will work earnestly,
faithfully and heartily to secure this desir-
ed result

corning the college:

have enjoyed with me the privilege Of din
ing at his house and spending an hour or
two in friendly interchange Of thought up
on the plans and prospects Of "tho mill"
they would have discovered much to have
inspired them with the belief that success
is sure under his leadership. lie is one of
the most genial and courteous gentlemen
that we have met in a long time. Every
one feels at home ia his presence. The
