COUNTY COSvENTIoN.-The election Of Mr. p.
H. Catlln Of this city As County Commissio aer
over Martin Wires by a strong majority, is a
sufnclent answer to the impeachment of his
character as man and public officer, which has
Deen so lndustriouSly attempted for sometime
past ny the Free Press. The people have rem
dered righteous verdict by thus indicating Mr.
'.atlIn 5 reputation. The vote Of Burlington is
significant Of the estimation in which he is held
by his fellow citizens Burlington Times.
The '' impeachment" Of Mr.. Catlin's
character by the FREE Pass consisted in the
publication, some time since. Of some figures
from the books Of the Burlington agency,
which he was asked to explain but never
found it convenient to do 50. For the rest,
If Mr. Catlm had been openly proposed as
candidate, the charges against him traversed.
and the appeal openly taken to the people at
the polls, the result might perhaps be taken
as a yindication Of his character in public
estimation. As it is, the way in which he
was run and elected Is only confirmation Of
the suspicious which have attached to him.
His friends did not dare to present him open
ly as a candidate The fact that he was to
be run was kept as silent as the grave. \

In the Senate on Tuesday Mr. Morrill, o
Vermont took the floor in opposition to the
substitute bill of Senator Sherman for fund
ing the national debt Mr. Morrill, advocated
at length the following propositions as most
/ important to our national welfare
First. \ reduction of expenditures to the low
est reasonable point, such as will compel every
department to live from hand to mouth, and
without any surplus.
Second. \ reduction at once Of taxation, pro-
portionately, leaving it only certain that some
thing shall be annually paid on the public debt
Third. Some initiat0ry measure looking to an
early restoration Of gold and silver coin to its
proper function Of circulation among the people
Fourth. An extension of the National Banking
system, so as to accommodate all parts of the
country, whenever United States notes are retirei
or specie payments resumed.
Fifth. \ new loan to absorb the national debt
at a lower rate Of interest
We shall ondeavor TO give some extracts
from the speech hereafter.
In the House Mr.. Woodbridge opposed Gen.
Buffers additional article Of impeachment,
and provoked sharp reply from Mr.. Butler
Mr.. Woodbridge said
lie was opposed to the article for two reasons,
the first being that if the President were put on
his trial under it, it would take great length of
time, if his counsel should desire to consume
time, equal to that occupied in the trial Of Var
ren Hastings and, second, being that it charged
no crime, but only utterances that were indecent
and unbecoming in the Chief Magistrate Of the

March.
BY ". G. BRYANT

The stormy March Is come at last,
With wind, and cloud, and changing skies ;
hear the rushing Of the blast,
That through the snowy valley flies.
All, passing few are they who speak
Wild stormy month in praise of thee;
Yet, though thy winds are loud and bleak.
Thou art a welcome month to me.
For thou, to northern lands, again
The glad and glorious sun dost bring.
And thou has joined the gentle train
And wear'st the gentle name Of Spring.
And, in thy reign Of blast and storm,
Smiles many a long, bright sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue Of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rill~.
in joy that they again are free,
And, brightly leaping down the hills,
Begin their journey 10 the sen.
The years departing beauty hide,
OF wintry storms the sullen threat.
But in thy sternest frown abides
A look of kindly promise vet.
Thou bring'>t the hope Of those calm skies,
And that soft time Of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom. on earth that lies.
Seem, Of a brighter world that ours.
