Tbs Republican Convention OF the State
OF New York ignored all national fiscal
questions in their platform, Nothing is
>aid, rra or con-, on the subject Of tariff
protection, or revenue reform. We
presume this omission proceeded from
tender consideration for Mr.. Grceley's
feelings. After defcatiug him for the
Grl'ernatorinl nomination, it would have
leen !" crowling the mourners' too hard TO
Aaveadopted revenue tariff resolutions; and,
for this reason, The farmers of the rural
districts, and the business men Of the ecities,
we presume, concluded not to throw
rock ut the philosophers pet hobby of
protection" The State is in the hauds
Of the Democrats, and it will require the
help Of the high tarifites to enable the
sevenue reform Republicans to recover it
from them. The support of the New
York Tribune and its high tariff disciples

For the Watehmar
Constitutional Amendments.

Messrs. Editors The attention Of your read
ers has from time to time, been called to the con-
sideration of the subject matters involved in these
proposed amendments As humble but not
citizen in whatever relates TO popu-
lar rights and representative form Of government,
have been considering these propositions, as |
believe all citizens should, with due oandor and
an honest wish 10 act understandingly when /
come to cast vote for delegate to the Conyen-
ton, which is to decide for or against the adop-
tion of these proposed amendments. The man
who forms no opinion upon these matters inyol-
we'd, how shall he knOD, whether in giving his
vote " touching any matter that concerns the
State of Vermont" he twill do it, as in his con-
science he shall judge what will most conduce to
the best good of the same, as established by the
constitution, without fear or favor of any man 7'
Would it not be well worthy the consideration Of
our voting citizens, whether the right of suffrage
does not impose an obligation on each voter to
inform himself to the extent of his opportunity
and abilities, as to the merits of those subjects
which are to materially affect the peoples inter
ests, perhaps for generations after them.
Viewing the subject in this light, and in this
spirit, have not been able to satisfy myself that
any of those proposed alterations in the eonstitu-
ton would materially improve it, or promote the
rights and interests Of the common people for
whose benefit governments are instituted.
have endeayored 20 exercise candid judgment
though It be only that of a private and very hum

politics in which measures of public policy, pro
gressye with advancing wants of civilization, are
properly concerned, must confess to conserya
tive inclination where change In fundamental
principles and permanence ofregulatons, as in the
organic laws or constitutions Of States, is con

of the private and public rights of the citizen a
a basis Of the government structure. Upon TIM
basis we expect TO lind the framework, OUTLYING
the principles of design, and then the materials
and the style of finish of a complete structure o

CRoPs AND PRospEcTs IS THE NORTHWEST
The planting season is rapidly approaching in
the States Of the Northwest, and the Chicago
Republican intimates that there will be a de-
cided change in the character Of the crops
cultivated by the farmers of that section
IL says
The graneries are still full Of the products Of
last year harvest, held ba k for price that will
40 least cover the cost Of production a compar-
aiyoly small advance would relieve the agricultu-
raj demand for funds, revive the trade OF the mer-
chant, and crowd all the avenues to the selbOard
with profitable freight. Farm products are em-
iayed, and the producers Of wealth are, many Of
them. stranded, with abundant means, if they
could bee realized OF made available.
These things have sunk deep into the mind Of
the producer, and viii enforce upon him a greater
diversity OF farm production. The coming season
Will witness marked change in Western agri-
culture from the years preceding. We shall see
n much less breadth Of wheat sown, and great
deal more corn, oats, barley, aud crops which
may be classcd as special Stock, with the ex-
cepton, perhaps, Of sheep, will he everywhere
largely increased. More attention will be given
~ the cultivation Of clover and the tame grnsses.
More scientific methods Of farming will
also be adopted, in order to restore the soil
from the effects Of long continued cropping
without an effort to return the elements ex-
haustcd from it. In the Northwest States the
heavy SHOWS have been very favorable to crops
generally, and will insure large yield OF
fruit, if the prospect is not nipped by uutimc-
y frosts. The present prospects Of a boun.
teous harvest are all fattering.

DEFERRED MATTERS.

" A savage Western editor reminds the
women Of Wyoming of two facts. First, the
Paraguayan war has proved that women are
unfit to act as soldiers secondly, that news
comes from Washington that the militia Of
Wyoming is to be organized OF course, the
inference is that the balot-casters will not OBJ
ject to do their duty as bullet.slingers join
ing militia regiment-ospecially when fines
for irregularity Of attendance are unconstitu-
tional-is ordinarily not a very terrible or
deal, and perhaps the ladies will enjoy its op-
portunities for Irritation but this the rude
Neyadese tells them is impossible He dis
pels the notion Of "play in the following
plain spoken style: "The organization Of
the militia of Wyoming Territory refers to a
stern matter Of business 1t is not intended
as boys, or girls play for that matter
The Indians Of that Territory are hostile and
troublesome, and when organized, the mill
tary companies will be frequently summoned
to the war path" He then asks 4" Can the
women be depended upon We shall see"
That seems to be the momentous question in

A WARNING TO THEATRE GoERs.-An
amusing incident occurred the other night at
the National Theatre, Washington. In the
front row of the parquette sat beautiful,
bright little boy about three and half years
old, whose appearance and childish Though
shrewd) remarks attracted much attention.
and who, with natural curiosity of child
hood, asked the meaning of everything that
struck him as peculiar, among which, the
large exodus of gentlemen to take ga smile "
was one. lie asked the friend who had him in
charge: "where are all these people going ?
is the play 2" He was told they were
going to take drink" He watched them
file past as he looked over the top of the par
ouette, and took a stout, elderly gentleman
fairly aback by asking him, in perfectly ru-
dible voice, " Are yolt going to take drink 2"
All in the vicinity fairly yelled with laughter
and clapped their hands with delight, doubt
less to the astonishment Of that portion OF the
audience who we're not within the hearing of
the cause. Its feared the old man, by his looks,
thought that some one had prompted the child
but such was not the case it was Just as

SENATOR REyELs VNDIcArED. Anna
Dickinson scathed the Directors of the Phil
adelphia Academy Of Music for refusing the
use Of their building for a speech by Senator
Reyels At the close of her lecture, which
was delivered in the Academy, before an i'm
monsc audience, a series Of stereopticon por.
traits Of the lecturers before the Star
Course were exhibited. When that Of Sen
ator Rcyels was thrown upon the canvas,
scene Of wild confusion ensued, Kisses and
cheers being about evenly balanced. Miss
Dickinson rose, stepped to the front Of the
stage, aud fred this bombshell right into the
excited mass:
Since am at home will take the liberty Of
saving one word for the benefit Of those who are
kissing. Since they, maniiestly in their turn,
have the right to applaud, would suggest that
the opportunity be given them by presentation
of the picture Of Senator Reyels' predecessor,
jefferson Davis. ~
The applause was redoubled, but the Kisses
found it convenient to subside.
