There is some canvassing about the State
rs to the men to be chosen to the Phladel-
phia convention, and the names of Hon.
Julius Converse of Woodstock, Ex-Gov-
errors Smith and Dillingham;, Senator Ed
munds, and Hon. NJ. G. Evarts of Rutland,
are mentioned as delegates. In this section
there seems to be very little talk as yet,
but when the proper time arrives we APP
prehend there will be no difficulty in find
ing the right men. 1t appears TO us, how
ever, to be eminently desirable that other
than office holders be chosen TO utter the
voice of the people at PHILADELPHIA.

The Second District.

RUTLAND, Aug 10, lS12.
1,Drs. Editorss.-It is said that the eff
fort made by Judge Steele to supplant Judge
Poland in the Second District, ought not to
concern those beyond its precincts. While 1t
is the immediate duty Of those residing with
in the district to elect their member, yet the
question, who shall represent our State in
either branch Of our National Legislature,
should demand attention from every freeman
in Vermont
ANY man conyersant with our Nations
history, knows that the Northern States have
greatly suffered by not continuing their ex-
pericuced statesmen in Congress. While we
were throwing aside men of capacity and op-
proved as able legislators, for youthful aspir-
ants, the South kept their best men, those
educated in practical legislation, term after
term in Office. The result was, that the South
dictated in a great degree in our National
Legislature.
Unless some reason can be urged for drop.
ping Judge Poland, besides the mere desire
of Judge Steele or any other gentleman fol
the coming nomination for representative &c
Congress, the interests Of our State demand
that he should be renominated We neet
men Of large capacity, men whose integrity
has been triedand found unqucstionable, mel
who are yerscd in parliamentary usagcs, as'
above all, who have the best interest Of th'
State aud nation at heart.
Our State has found such a man in Judg
Poland While other men may desire a sea
in Congress, and may possess capacities whe
developed in the school Of craftsmanship
which might render thom efficient statesman
can the citizens Of the State afford, at tn
present crisis Of our national affairs, to d
without the services of Mr. Poland in our NJ
tional Legislature
When we find men who are true to III
best interests Of the nation, aud able to con
prehend them, every citizen within the con
monweath has right and ought to use hi
influence to retain them in the service Of Il
State and nation.
Judge Poland's record is untarnishcd. II
integrity, ability and craftsmanship have bee
tested, and it is to be hoped that the freem'
Of his district will return him to his seat
Congress again.
When in after years good reasons shou
exist why any one or all Of our present eff
cient members Of Congress should be di
placed by other men, it will then be prop
for the freemeu of the several districts
State to select their best men to I'll these biz
places Of trust. NrHNoNrER.

From the St Adams Mcsscng,
Vermont Congressman.

1t is quite amusing to see the Democratic
papers telling the Republicans who are their
strongest men for offices, and otherwise dis.
cussng matters Of mere party expediency,
especially when they claim that 4" this new
movement is going to sweep over the country
like wild-fire and utterly exterminate Repub-
lican rule" Here in Vermont there was not
little Of this Democratic lingering of the
Republican pie Just before the Republican
State Convention and now we have it as to
Congressman. The Burlington Democrat
says that Mr.. Willard will be 4" supported
largely by all parties" and hears of but little
if any, opposition to his reelection. Can it
be that in district which has two of the
leading Democratic papers Of the State, is
known as the headquarters for Liberal Repub-
icansm, and is boastful of two counties for
that cause the Greeley party is willing to so
far confess its weakness as to admit and even
advocate the election to Congress Of Re-
publican editor, firm supporter of Gen.
Grant, Nothing better illustrates the utter
Decentralization and hopelessness of their
cause.
But perhaps it should be said that they en-
deayor to find a justification for this by alleg-
ing that 1T was mainly through Mr., Wizards
influence that three Congressman were saved
to the State" If they should learn, however,
and if some Of our Republican papers should
learn, that Judge Poland is entitled to almost
if not quite as much credit in this respect,
would they be equally willing to favor him ?
Just here we want to correct quite general
misapprehension. We accord to Mr.. Willard
great credit for his effort and success, but we
happen to know that he does not claim the
sole credit by any means. The very bill which
he introduced was before that time offered by
Judge Poland as an amendment to the appor-
tionment bill. But members interested in
that bill clustered about the Judge and told
him they feared the BILL if amended, would
be defeated and that he had better let his
amendment afterward be introduced as a sup
Elemental bill. He yielded and aiterward, by
agreement among the Vermont members, il
fell to Mr.. Willard to introduce the bill, which
Judge Poland with his great influence and
popularity in the House-hardly second to
that Of any other member-worked for and
helped to carry through. In making this
statement we wish it understood that we are
not interfering in the canvass going on between
Judge Poland and Judge Steele in the second
district, but we think that the whole State
owes debt of gratitude to Judge Poland.

Swapping Horses.
Hon. Geo. w. Grandey.

We regard it a misfortune to our great leg
islative bodies and calamity to the people
that the complexion Of these bodies is con
stantly changing. A man who approves him
self as an able aud consistent legislator can
not be set aside without prejudice to the civil
service. The new man, his successor, has his
position to gain and his influence to secure
He barely attains them when another clam
orer is after his place
The loss of such man as Senator Patter-
son, Of New Hampshire, will be felt in the
United States Senate in this district, and es.
pecially in his native State, for the length Of
a Senatorial term. II is not to be expected
that his successor, even if the Senator's equal
can exert the same influence without a legis-
lative experience of equal duration. We are
informed, too, that it is proposed TO substitute
some new man in the House for Judge Po-
land, of Vermont. We shall deplore it very
much There is scarcely a more influential
or laborious man in that body and during
the present Congress the Judge has been os.
pecially seIviceable as a member and often
chairman of the Ku-Klux committee. The
nation can not see him omitted from her leg
islative counseors without remonstrance nor
can the noble State he represents do herself
greater injustice than to permit it to be done.
The Judge is man who by bis candor, mod
GRAFTON, strict integrity, ready wit, as well as
his New England purity of life is an honor
to his constituency and to the nation. Yer
mont should let him continue to represent
her sturdy Repubicanism.--- Washington

Leaving the home scenes among the Green
mountains to revisit some familiar haunt re-

busy world without is not without its share

times they may be. A year ago the camp
fires around beautiful Chazey were glowing,
aud the speckled trout made to pay tribute to
the art piscatorial." Again we are here
seeking to enjoy the same sports and bene'
fits to again renew acquaintance with
natural scenes, so full Of variety and beauty
that when once viewed will always be remem-
bered.
Our camping party this year consists OF
five persons only two Of whom were here
year ago Nothing unusual occurred while
on the passage from Vermont which would be
of interest As we came down the Winooski
the farmers seemed busy gathering bountiful
crops Of grass and grain. The haying season.
however, is mostly over oats and wheat are
ripening rapidly, vegetation along the whole
route is unusually vigorous, owing to the
warm, wet season. Corn never showed
heavier growth but is late. Fruit along the
lake in the vicinity Of Burlington and Platts-
burgh promises fair crop. But few changes
were noticed along the route considerably
many new buildings are being erected in the
principal towns The numbering business on
the Saranac is prosecuted with energy, and
large numbers Of logs are being run down the
river to feed the mills along its course and at
Pittsburgh. Dannemora still thriyes, not
from its barren aud sterile soil, but from the
Clinton Prison. one Of New York's great re-
formatory institutions. The liquor traffic
still appears the most fourishing business,
having the most customers. The prison now
contains 5l4 inmates. They are engaged in
making iron from the ore which is quarricd
in the prison yard. They are not manufac-
turing nails at the present time, but making
slabs and blooms on contract The store in

Offices, has been erected within the past year
Chazey lake still lies beautifully embosomed
among the mountains, with Mount Lyon rising
grand and majestic more than 1900 feet
high at its head.
The old camp on the east side of the lake
has been repaired furnishing good and con-
yenient quarters for our party. Fishing
and hunting and camp work constitute our
principal employments. The extremely warm
weather and the prevalence of thunder storms
has thus far prevented much successful fly
fishing other means however are resorted
to, to supply the fish needed for camp use.
Those seeking health or recreation can do no
better than come to Chazey Lake, Fish
and deer are plenty, promising excellent sport
for the coming months. We keep open
house to the extent of our accommodations,
and always guarantee satisfaction to our Gus
toners. Nj. VEN.

0J-The New York Times in speaking Of
the result Of the North Carolina election,
says; The result is a positive, and, under
all the circumstances, disastrous Democrat
ic reverse. Had the Democrats held their
own, they would have had little reason to
boast. That would have shown that they had
gained nothing by the infamous Baltimore al
lance, and that all the recruits they had
gained from the Republican ranks had been
fully balanced by the losses from their own
Bot they cannot pause at even this humilia.
ting truth. The disappearance Of their ma
jority of Eve thousand, securely possessed
only two years SINCE and the return of ever
SO small Republican majority, shows that
they have sold their party inheritance for less
than nothing. The number of recruits does
not equal that Of the disguised Democrats.
They are now face to face with the conse-
quences Of their own weakness, co8ardice,
and cunning. If they were in minority in
the nation las they were) when they carried
North Carolina in 1870, how can they elect
their candidate in 1872, when they have lost
North Carolina?

" The revolution in Honduras seems to
be ended. Medina, the President, made a
rather disgraceiul surrender to the rebels,
however, acknowledging their commander,
Medneta, President. This did not suit San
chez, the second in command Of the Hondu-
rian army, and he organized another revolu-
ton, took Medina prisoner, drove Medineta
out of Omoa, executed one or two refractory
generals, and re-established the old authori-
ties. 1t is difficult to perceive who is Presi-
dent just now, and it is not probable that the
restored tranquility will be very permanent,

A SOUTHERN VIEW. - Ex.Attorney Gen
eral Akerman, in letter to the Chattanooga
Herald, says:
The most serious view Of the election is this
Some parts Of our Southern country have been af-
licted with lawlessness Of peculiar violence and
ierocity, the product of war, sudden poverty and
political arrangement. This is the weightiest in
cumbus upon the South. IL dsturbs society,"
keeps out capital and immigrants, renders the Ia
boring class uneasy, drives away good citizens,
and dscourages enterprise. From known causes
this lawessness has become mingled with current
politics. Owing to the action Of the government
OF the United States it is now checked but it is
rot extirpated. Should Grant be reelected the
offenders will cease to hope for impunity in crime
and will betake themselves TO better ways or
other countries. Should Greeley be elected, they
will feel that their side has triumphed, and, in
the intoxication Of victory will break out in yio-
lence, the feroer from long restraint No matter
how earnestly Mr.. Greeley might exert himself
to suppress them, it would be long before he
could put them where Grant has them now. The
speediest way to give perfect tranquility to the
South is to re-elect Gen. Grant"

" General Banks, in his letter explaining
why he abandons the Republican party, and
goes over to the Democracy, says; 81 am
compelled to believe and to say that the per-
petuatiou of the present policy of the Gov
eminent is not to the advantage of the coun-
try, and that it will not tend to establish its
former good and prosperity, nor topromote the
interests Of any class Of citizens" About
three weeks previous to writing this letter, he
put his signature to an address in which &C.
eurs the following passage;
We congratulate ourselves upon the fact that
the Government during the past three and one.
half years has been administered by one of our
comrades, who has shown wonderful civil ca
paoity in aiding in the reduction Of the public
debt in conducting our foreign affairs with great
skill so that We now stand at peace with the
whole world in preserving peace in sections Of
our country where sentiments were entertained
calculated TO disturb tie reorganization of the
States lately in rebellion"
How is this The facts are the same as
when General Banks signed the address three
weeks before. General Banks furnishes an
abundant reply to General Banks.
