REPUBLICAN REFORM PARrY-Ao'

REPUBLICAN REFORM PARTY-Ac'
TIoN AT FAyErTyILLE,-R Resolutions
adopted by the Windham County Anti
Masonic Society at a meeting held at
Fayetteville, Vermont, on the 10th day
of September, 1871:
Whereas, considering all secret socie-
ties Of whatever form or designation, as
hostile to republican institutions aud
4 dangerous to our civil and religious lib
critics recognizing them as the natural
allies Of enslavement and despotism, and
heartily approving Of the legislation of
the last session of congress against one
form Of secret association, viz, KU-KLUX.
ISM, so called, and entertaining moreover
a thorough conviction Of the proprety
of the law of Vermont, title "a, chapter
ll5, section 10, of offences again pub
lie justice, designed for the suppression
of secret societies within our own State,
therefore,
ReSOtued, That we, the members Of
Windham County Ant;masonic Society,
will sustain this legislation Of the gene
raj government, aud oSthe State Of Yer
mont, with all the power and influence
thatwe possess, and viii endeavor, wheta-
er at the polls or in our daily intercourse
with our fellow citizens, 10 effect by all
fair, open and legitimate means the abo-
lition of secret societies, and TO free our
government from corruption by them, as
it has been freed from the pollution of
slavery which these societies have fos-
tered and prolonged.
Reso!red, That together with the
country at large we fully recognize the
necessity of reform in our national af-
fairs generally, the habit of pardoning
criminals for political purposes leading
to universal relaxation of law, subver-
/ sive of the order and well being of So
ciety and, believing that no reform is
possible that leaves secret rings, associa.
tions, or combinations untouched, we
therefore recommend to our fellow citi.
zens of Windham county, and of the
State of Vermont generally, to carry
this question Of secret association TO the
polls, notouly as individual freemen, but
as political party and for this pur.
pose TO form anti-secret society tickets al
all their subsequent elections, until oui
laws shall! be properly respected and OBJ
served, and their provisions for the sup
preston of secret societies are fully exc
cuted and secured.
Resoloed, That copies of these resolu
tions be furnished for publication to th'
newspapers of Windham county, auC
also to those of the State of Vermont.
j. w. PHELPS, President.

The political elements of Massachu-
sets, are we'll irred-the string having
been mostly done by Gen. Butler. The
Republican State Convention will be
held at Worcester on Wednesday of next
week. OF the delegates thus far ected,
Butler appears to have apluraliIy, and
the friends of tue other candidates will
have TO unite to defeat him. The pros
pect is that there will be a triangular
contest in Massachusetts this fall, and il
is fortunate for the republicans that this
is TO happen in a State where they can
best afford it, though it is by no means
likely TO prove harmless investment
even there.

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.-A Ken
lucky man who attempted to cross high
railroad bridge at Sheperdsville, in that
State, on the 24;h ult., stumbled and
fell between the ties. but, fortunately,
managed to grasp lie with his hands
and there hung dangling, with 100 feet
of sheer fall beneath him. He was utter
ly unable to regain the top Of the bridge
and he hung on with a death grasp, I'M
til his cries brought assistance. Lifted
from his perilous position he was led off
the bridge, and sat down for a few min
utes, apparently overcome by the dan
yer through which he had passed. Then
he got up, as he said, to 90 home, walk.
ed a few steps, and fell to the ground
dead. Physicians, who carefully exam
med the body, say that there was no
bruise or wound sufficient to disable him,
much less cause death, and are Of opiu-
ion that his death was caused by fright.

1t was the intention to have a meeting
of the State Board of Agriculture dur
ing the week, and such a meeting had
been announced, but no suitable hall

held.

place on Wednesday afternoon.
There are thirty Fl re stations, some of
them fine ones. There is very good
display of sheep, especially OF Cotswolds,
including $50 pound specimen, exhib-
tied by Mr.. Cochran. Various reasons
are assigned for the deficiency. Some OF
the stock farmers were indignant that
Mr. Cochran was admitted n competitor
1t was currently reported that he would
be there with his herd, and would sweep
everything in the way Of premiums on
cattle This deferred many from exhib
iting, and after all Mr. Cochran brought
only single bull calf and a few sheep.

TIE Lesson FTnE MAINE ELECTION,
according to the World, is that no new
departure can be effective for good until
it "embraces democrats of all the States,
and finds expression in a National Con
vention." Even then, unless this con
vention understands the necessities Of the
situation, utterly and finally buries old
issues and forces new one. from the pub
lie mind, the party will continue to gray
itate with unpleasant rapidly toward the
demnilion bow-wows. There is popu-
lar prejudice against it here at the North,
dating back 10 the war, and its only
chance lies in conquering this prejudice.
This proposition, the world thinks, is as
clear as sunlight, aud yet there are owl
ish democrats who blink and blink, and
can't see it, and who undo in day all
that the brethren who do see it, can do
in a month. "Thus it comes to pass,
complains the discouraged and disguised
World, shat every effort to put aside
settled questions in Maine is defeated by
the immobiIit5 of political fossils il
Georgia. The evil done by one goose
quill, wandering without competent guild
ance over paper in Il newspaper office a
the South, outweighs all the good tina
can be done by fit,y thousand intelligen
citizens Of Maine, striving to rid them
selves of oppressive taxation. Absuro
as that prejudice is which accepts sucI
utterances as proof Of the purpose Of
party, it is one of the vital facts Of GU
times, and any politician who does nc
wish to rival Mr.. Stephens himself, i
practical unwisdom will not attempt t
ignore it.,-Springfeid Republican.
