such labors as his during and since the war,

him a highly.valucd and esteemed puoic

time Of such corruption and infidelity to

DEsTRICT CONTENTION.

A Convention to nominate a candidate for
Representative TO Congress from the First
Congressional District, was held at Middle
bury on Thursday, Aug. 18th. The opposi-
ton to Mr.. Willard was strongly develop
ed, and his opposers did what they could
to defeat his nomination. The contest was
earnest and exciting, and the meeting con-
tnued till past midnight Some of the del
egates from Bennington, Rutland and Ad-
olson counties finding that they could not
accomplish their wishes in preventing the
nomination of Mr.. Willard, and expressing
dissatisfaction with the dongs of the Con-
vention in admitting the delegation from
Bennington headed by A. b. Gardner, and
rejecting the delegation headed by T. w.
Park, withdrew from the Convention, and
then on motion of A. b. Gardner, the pres
ent incumbent, c. w. Willard was unani-
mously nominated by viva voce vote.
We have seen no reason TO change our
opinion, expressed short time since, in
favor of the reelection of Mr.. Willard be-
lievng him honest, capable and faithful,
and every way worthy to represent Yer
mont in Congress- and we cannot but think
that a very large majority of the honest,
intelligent and patriotic voters of his dis
trict will most heartily support him, and
re-elect him TO the place he has so ably and
worthily\filled.

EMIGRATION FROM FRANcE.-An Eng
fish paper takes occasion to remark upon
the paucity of the emigrants from France
when compared with those OF other nations,
rs affecting the strength of her population
in the present struggle with Prussia. The
fact is pointed out that Belgium, with her
five millions of population, has recently
sent out more than France with her thirty
eight millions, and that during the last
twenty years the emigration from France
has not exceeded one-tenth of that from
Great Britain. In 1852, when the unusual
ly large number of 36S, 900 emigrants left
the shores of Great Britain, less than TO-
900 started from France, and where in 1853
mum of 100000, that of France barely
reached 1900. 1t is from among the essen
TALLY German population of Alsace that
the largest proportion of the French emil
grants to this country is drawn; those
leaving the Mediterranean being common
ly attracted to Algiers, and those from the
southw est to La Plata. From the central
and northern provinces there il no appre-
ciable outflow at all, The chief causes to
be assigned for this are the easy acquisi-
ton of landed property in small portions
under the operation of the COde CiUil, the
immense number Of small Government
posts open to middle-class Frenchmen, and
the want Of healthy development of fam

Nv I.uPORT.y.vT C.ISE TO PEB-
LISETERS OF .yEIU.SP.IPERS.

At the recent term of the Washington
County Supreme Court, suit was tried,
the result Of which is eff the highest i'm
portance to publishers and proprietors of
newspapers.
1t will be recollected that some three
years ago John Gregory, of Mortified,
brought suit against Hiram Atkins, of
Montpelier, editor and proprietor of the
Argus and Patriot, for damage for n libel
alleged TO have been published in that pa
per. The suit was defended and the truth
OF the libel was attempted to be proved,
but the defense was unsuccessful, and Mr.
Gregory recovered in damages and costs
about nine hundred dollars. This sum Mr..
Atkins paid. 1t appears that at the time
the alleged libel was published, James n.
johnson, Esq, of Mortified, the writer of
the article, assured Mr.. Atkins that the ar
ticle was all true that the statements and
charges therein made against Mr.. Gregory
could be proved by good witnesses, and he
agree to indemnify and save harmless Mr..
Atkins for publishing the same Under
this assurance of the truth, and the agree
nent to be Unidentified, Mr. Atkins con-
sented to publish the article 1t is said
that Mr.. johnson was acting with and for
ce rtain other prominent men in Mortified
among them being Hon. p. d. Bradford.
NJ. D., and other leading republcans-in
procuring the article to be published but
how this may be we do not know, nor is il
material. After Gregory brought his suit
against Atkins, johnson and these men

suit and Atkins supposed that whatever
might be the result-Johnson and his as
so ciates would take care of the case.
1t appeared, however, that when judg-
mentwas rendered against Atkins, John
son and his coad tutors left him to pay the
