HINEsBURGH.- new dam on Pond brook
in Hinesburgh which furnishes power for
two grain mills, the wooden factory, pail
factory, saw mill, machine shop, eombing
machines, agricultural implement shops and
some other works, is completed. 1t promis-
es to be even more useful than was anticipa-
ted. 1t is some half mile above the mill,
and will make pond covering some sixty
to eighty acres. By closing this nights, and
carefully saving the water, together with the
dam at the mouth of Hinesburgh Pond two
miles further up, it is thought, the effective
power of the little stream, will be doubled
Although the stream isnow very low, the new
pond has already enabled the wheels below
to move again. They had been stopped for
some time, but can now run portion of
each day.
The P. o. robbery, recently noted to us,

SALE or THE PIONEER SHoPs.-We learn
that our townsman DR.. B. 5. NICHOLS has
purchased Of Lawrence Barnes, the extensive
buildings under the hill on the Lake shore
occupied by various manufacturing establish
ments and known as the pioneer Shops,
paying therefor in the neighborhood of $50
600. Dr. Nichols had previously purchased
the machine shop of j. P. Flanders 4 Co.,
connected with the same shops, and now ow Ms
the whole concern.
The Pioneer Shops have had somewhat
eyentful history, have contributed largely
under the ownership of Mr.. Barnes, to the
growth and prosperity of our city, and we
doubt not that with like liberal and capable
management under the new proprietor, they
will have a career Of continued and we trust
constantly increasing success.

Tho Radical party has not only in
jured the country by the measures it
has adopted, but also disgraccd it by
the men it has put 10 official positions.
The State Guard, one of the Radical
organs at Harrisburg, advises its
friends TO select representatives of u
better charater than those heretofore
selected, and makes tho following
disclosure
"All last winter, while the Legisla-
ture was in session, the committee
rooms Of both the House and Senate
flowed with liquor, and Senators and
Representatives staggered from such
rooms in beastly intoxication to in
suit those who occupied places In the
gallery TO hear digniiied proceedings
Of the Legislature. These are facts
which cannot successfully be denied,
and we thus lift tho veil which has
been suffered too long TO hide the viii
lainy and the degradation OF politics
aud legislation, that the people may
see, ponder and protect themselves
The New YORK Times (Ilcpublican)
says:
Tho Rev. DIR. Budington made some
extraordinary statements on Thurs

Association He said he visited Wash

This is too importanta a statement,ahd

made TO "walk the plank" and air

at nothing that will aid his enemies

NEW SERIES--V0L. 8, NO. 10


General Grant, in his speech of ac-
ceptance, said You have truly said
that shall have no policy of my own
to Interfere against the viii of the pco-
pie" Such language may suit the
tastes of some, but from the lips of a
candidate for the Presidency Of the
United States theycome with exceed
ing bad grace Suppose lie had made
a declaration Of this kind when he
took command Of the army; who,
among the officers or privatcs would
have defended him? Yet, now, his
friends wish to palm him off on the
people, not knowing whether be favors
u military despotism, or n democratic
form of government. That President
Is not, worth a penny who has not q
line OF policy Uf pis S,,. --~visod out,
and who, in times such as those
through which we are passing, has
not the courage to declare what that
policy should be. The fact that Gen
eral Grant qualities his announcement
by saying that be has nopolicy Of his
own to interfere against the WiH Of The
people, does not relieve him from the
charge of unmanly weakness. The
President Of great people, it he be
at all qualified for the position, can
not possibly escape the necessity of
clearly defining his position in rela-
tion to such national issdos as may
from time totime present themselves.
When, therefore, General Grant ds-
clares that he "shall have no policy
of his own he simply announces that
being unfit for the position, he has re.
solved to surrender himself into the
keeping of his Radical supporters to
be used by them for such purposes as
they may deem proper. This carly
announcement OF his intentions to be
a mere plant tool in the hands Of the
revolutionists who have assumed
charge and control Of Aim, will more
than convince the people that man
Of more determined mould, and OF
broader sta;esmanlike views, is need
cd for the Executive Department Of
the Government.

Democracy and Reputation.

There Is an effort being re-made TO
impose upon the public mind, the i'm
precision, that the Democracy is re-
pudiating party,-and the effort comes
from those who repudiated all private
Contracts, in enacting paper TO be
gold, by forcing the holders of gold
contracts to take their pay in legal
tender paper, when at ono time, il
took 2SO cents of this paper to buy
100 cents in gold And tho effort
comes too, from those, who have re-
paildted the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, in their arbitrary arrests,
incarcerations without trial or law,
or Military bills subyerting the right
Of trial by jury, and everything else
of civil rights. sacred among mon.
The Democratic pafty OF this conn
try is on record, over aud over again,
as the most faithful of all parties to
Debts and Obligations. Even in the
darkest paper money times, in this
State, and elsewhere, they have insis-
ted upon paying in gold, when every
boay else was paying in paper. The
party is too old, and the men in it are
too upright to change their principles
or their creed-and there is no doubt,
that when in power, they will be
faithful to all obligations in the future,
as thoy have been in the past.
The question in the West, and in
the East, and Centre too-whether
National Banks should issue paper
for currency, instead of the Federal
Government, is not question of re-
pudiation-nor the question, whether
the principal of the 5.20's should be
paid in paper or gold ?-(no one ques-
tons the gold interest) There are
two sides to both of these questions
pretty fair sides, and when an issue
is made, it will be found not to be a
question of repudiotion, only qucs-
tian Of currency, and question as to
the proper construction Of Congress
ionai Act.

Oregon.

Full returns from Oregon show how

Democrats triumph in that State,
Twenty-three counties constitute the
Commonwealth. OF these, thirteen
returned Radical members TO the Leg
slaturo in 1866, and ten cast their
votes Tor the nominees of the Demo
cratic party. At the recent election
twenty counties chose Democratic
members OF the Legislature, and
three Radicals This IS n change that
ioreshadows the total disruption of
the Radical party in that locality.
The people are tired Of taxes and un-
wise legislation disturbing the repose
of the country and injuring business,
trade aud commerce. They see in
the nomination of General Grant an
effort on the part OF band of design
ing men to perpetuatc their power In
the nation, and continue tie present
state of affairs, and hence the wonder
iul difference between the result in
Oregon in 1866 and 1868. Business
men have become fully aroused and
tbo,r votes nre telling upon the result
in all directions. Impeachment, the
nomination Of General Grant, and
the action of Butler aud his "smelling
committee" have contributed their
share TO that stream Of public disfa-
vor which is overwhelming the Radi-
cal party from Maine to Oregon. The
late result in the latter State is bat a
forerunner of what will take place in
oil parts of the Union at the coming
