BY JOHN c. M'CABE

Wave on. bright banner of my country
wave.
Your '.Stars and Stripes far on the yied-
ing breeze,
Who gazing, dare feel like the coward
slave,
What quails beneath a tyrant's fierce
DEGREES?
There's freedom in the winds that fan thy
folds.
There's deathless glory in each burning
And he who aught but freedom else
beholds,
Would prove a traitor, yea, IN any car.
And shall we msdly strive to quench one
Of that galaxy-freeman' pride and boast?
Oh no. just heaven dissolve the mad ming
Nor wreck our peace on wild ambition S
Let our proud ensign be our Unions seal,
And on the day that gave our champion
birth,
Swear to sustain it till the last loud peal,
ing earth.
Ger natures ruins, then our flag shall
YEA proudly DER the wreck of nature
And shedding lustre DER the patriots
Shall mingle highly with the star deck d

The GOYernor Question.

We have hitherto RETAINED from joining in the
discussion of the above question, for the simple
reason that there seemed to be no good cause for
adopting different course. Indeed, under all
the circumstances, it appeared to present precise
one of those cases in which silence is golden -
BY custom the nomination belongs to the East
side of the mountain. No candidates are named
outside of Windsor county. That county presents
three Gen. Peter 7. Washburn, Hon. julius
Converse, and Hon. Dudley c. Dcnison. These
are all honorable and capable gentlemen, well and
fayorlbly known 10 the people of the State, and
upon whichever the lot may eventually fall, if
upon either, there need be no apprehension that
the public interest will suffer at his hands.
Under these circumstances, and remembering
that all preliminary action, in order 10 be bind
ing, must undergo the inspection and receive the
endorsement of a State Convention, composed OF
gentlemen familiar with all the candidates, and
srupulously watchful of the honor and welfare of
the commonwealth, it seemed to us specially fit
ting that the several candidates should he per
mitted to develop their home strength, in their
own way, and without outside interference.
General Washbum is well known in Windsor
and the adjoining counties as a prominent aud
successful lawyer, but better known 10 the pep
pie OF the State as Adjutant General during the
greater portion of the war. lie is capable, encr-
getic and thorough in whatever he undertakes,
and if chosen to the chiel-mngistmcy of the State
will reflect credit upon both himself and his con
stituency.
MIR, Converse is also a lawyer of high standing
has been for two years Lieutenant Governor OF
the State, and for many years prominent and in
fuental in both branches OF the Legislature lie
would make an excellent Governor.
Mr.. Denison, although somewhat younger than
his competitors, has had large experience as
member of both the House and Senate, and stand,
in the front rank of the legal profession II,
has, also, for the last four years. held the po
sition of United States District Attorney Al
appointment which came unsought, and whisl
fhe last spring voluntarily resigned. Possess
{ ed Of fine natural endowments, improved b,
the best education and culture, of pure hear
and spotless life, and in the fullest sympath,
with the people, we can but regard him n
pre-eminently fitting representative of Vernon
character. And although far too modest to pres
his own claims-and notwithstanding the edio
[ has gone forth that it 8" is of no use to discus
the question" as another gentleman is 10 be nom
ndted-we nevertheless cannot help feeling that
should the people OF the State endorse him a
the man of its choice, the selection would refieo
as much honor upon the State as upon the candi

Our Western exchanges are glowing with de
tails of the fine prospect there is for the wheat
and other grain crops. In addition to the unu-
sual condition Of the crop, there has been vastly
greater breadth planted than ever before 50 that
the coming harvest will probably show u yield OF
these great Western staples that shall send the
price of brcadstuns down to the neighborhood OF
where they were before the war. Not only the
West, but every other section of the country, is
being blessed with the promise ola good year.
Even in the South, the industries are becoming
properly adjusted, and the reign of peace is being
crowned with the attendant blessing of plenty.
All over the country the Fruits of all descriptions
have blossOined full and set for an abundant crop.
The protecting snow, which fell to such an unu-
sual depth the past winter, aud fingered 50 long
in the lap OF spring, preserved the grass roots aud
the timely rains of the season have given it Il
growth already that is full of promise
On every hand, whichever way we turn, we
are met by the benignant smile of Nature, striv-
ing to do her best, and return to man hundred
fold for his care and industry.
Surely this should teach us a lesson of thank
iulness and contentment An overruling Provi-
dence suffered our land TO be plunged into an un-
natural and sanguinary war. Brothers. hand
WIS lifted against brother in deadly combat The
elements and the fruits Of industry were turned
into engines Of destruction, until the people liter
ally groaned with their burdens, their suffering
and their poverty. In this sore emergency the
people were led to purge themselves of the can
kering evil that was sappng the life and strength
OF the land, and rendering it by-word among
the nation Of the earth. With an obedient hand
they undid the heavy burdens, and established
justice in the land Then the same kind Proyi-
dence that suffered our calamties, saw at what q
fearful cost the wrong was emdiated, and how
earnestly and determnedly, as a people we stroyt
to set ourselves in the path Of right and justice
and now in His mercy lie heals the wounds lie
has suffered, and besses the land lie has smitien
Not only have we in prospect Il season Of agr
cultural prosperity, buteyery branch of the varied
industries of the country is ina high state o.
healthy activity. The administration of til,
government has, in reality brought the coveted
reign of Peace, and its good fruits are manifest
on every hand. There never has been greater
political tranquility since the administration Of
Monroe; and the year, we doubt not will he sig
naily marked in the history of the nation for it.

The Public Debt,

As was published some days since, Secretary
Boutwell's statement for May sets forth the gra-
tifying fact that, during the last month"; the pull
lie debt of the United States was reduced by the
handsome sum of Sl30sl,7 III 81. This is some
thing our people had grown quite unused to, I'M
der the reign of the banker who held the public
purse during Andy Johnsons inglorious Admin
istration. But it is evidently II chronic feature OF
Mr.. Boutwell's policy, as he maniiests a settled
purpose to keep ON doing il, And il gives prao-
teal and lorcible illustration of the meaning of
Gen. Grants promise, to secure economy, re-
trenohment and reform in the management of the
public revenues Scli-suiliceut financial theorists,
welded to old views, may sneer as they will at
Secretary Boutwell's plans. But results tell -
And the unanswerable fact stares them in the
iaoe, that he has achieved reduction of $2O,-
O5O,6i6 80 in the aggregate of debt, virtually in
two months-lOr the month Of March was used
up in settling himself to his new harness. and
clearing off the debris left by his incompetent
predecessor And this is without taking into ae-
count the advantages which will speedily ensue
from the use of surplus gold in the purchase of
floating bonds. Figures won't lie"-and while
Secretary Boutwell's enemies are decrying him
Tor what they assume to be " a want of financial
knowledge" he can quietly point to the figures
of the budget, asking them to compare these with
Mr. McCulloch's returns, and judge accordingly.
