IT is amazing to behold the list of dam
aged regulations, the natural result of an.
attempt on the part of certain gentlemen.
to break down the President, by resorting
to mean, personal warfare. Horace Gree
ley is not the honest farmer that he was a
few months ago. Having provoked an
examination into his political record for
the past ten or fifteen years, it is found to
be very crooked affair. Then, if Graft
Brown had not invited, it would prob
ably have never been published outside
OF his own town that he INDUCED in the
luxury of buttered watermelon" or was
fond of soft-shelled crabs" If Mr.
Trumbull had kept himself within the
bounds of decency, his enormous fee in the
McArdle case would not have become q
matter of history. Mr.. Doolittles cele-
brated cotton transaction would not have
been SO generally known, if he had not in
vited its publication as specimen of what
" reformern can do. If Judson Kilpat.
rick had not courted it by indiscriminate
and mean attacks on the President. il
would never have been so generally known
that he had attempted to introduce an,
abandoned woman into Chilian society as
his wife, for which he was recalled. We
mightistring out this list of damaged rep
utations to an indefinite extent Men will
probably learn that it is dangerous for the
occupants of glass houses to be throwing
stones at their neighbors, especially with
out good cause. .

ed him to take reelection and we have
been informed that he has received let
tiers from all parts of the State urging
him not to consent to any other plan.
There must be well grounded reason
for all this and it is so obvious that we
shall be spared the unpleasant necessity
of stating it, And we trust the friends
of any other candidate will not now so
far press their championship as to COM
pei discussion which can result in no
good to them and may tend to divide
those whose pleasure it may be hereafter,
as it has been heretofore, to work togeth-
err. Governor Stewards life long resi-
dence in the State, together with his fa-
miliarity with our people and his valua-
BILE services in State affairs, are sufficient
reasons, without stating any other, why
there has been rapidly growing deter
mination, ever since his own wishes be-
came certainly known, to extend to him
the same compliment of reelection with
which Vermont has honored so many Of
his predecessors no worthier than him
self.

state and County Conventions.

The union republican State conven-
tons is called to meet at Montpelier, ON
Wednesday the 26th Of this month, for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for State officers. The republican town
committees in all the towns of the State
should at once call meetings for the
election of delegates to represent them
in the State convention. The matter of
the reelection of Gov. Stewart or the
nomination of some new man on this side
of the State, will now come directly be-
fore the people, and we hope they will
give it attention, in such form as to
render the opinion of the people, but do
not instruct" the delegates. A conven-
ton composed of ham strung" men is
a poor thing, and it is much better to
elect good men who can be trusted. As
our county conventions are called also,
we can elect delegates to both conven-
tions. Let there be a full attendance,
too, at these primary meetings. We are
on the eve of an important presidential
campaign and Ia full attendance will bring
out comparison of views which will be
uableinformation to carry from all sec
tons of Vermont to the State and coun-
ty conventions.
The political complications which have
arisen since the spring elections, max
Vermont practically the first State to
speak in the presidential compaign.--
The election takes place in September.
At that time the two great political par
ties will have made their presidential
nominations, besides those already made
by smaller bodies and clans, and for the
first time in the history of the republi-
can party of Vermont, her State cleo
ton will be most important. because of
her hitherto large and overwhelming re-
publican majority. Where there is
large republican majority, there it is
claimed the Cincinnati convention is to
make the largest gaps. Now then let
the primary meetings be fully attended
That will be the best possible evidence
as to whether Vermont waivers in her
pollticai faith just at the close of re-
and the establishment of |
equal rights throughout the land.

We copy elsewhere from the st. al.
bans Messenger which favors the re-nom-
nation of Gov Stewart. 1t is the sub.
stance of what has appeared in other
papers which take the same view. 1t is
claimed that there has been scheme
for retiring" Gov. Stewart. Who the
schemers are we don't know, and certain
we are that we have had nothing to do
with it. From the first we took the
ground that it did not necessarily follow
that Gov. Stewart should be reelected
even if not wanted for Congress. This
congress matter is for the first congress
ional district to decide We are asked
also to regard the wishes" of our pres
ent excellent governor. Are the wishes
of any of the other gentlemen named
for governor Cf they have any any less
sacred than those Of Gov. Stewart? We
have had whole columns of these wish
es" as to reelection, but up to date none
from the other candidates mentioned,
and on the whole we rather regard that
in their favor.

1t looks strange to see the New York
Tribune so paralyzed by its efforts to
court favor at the hands of its old enc
mics. To the recent democratic State
convention of New York it gave double
loaded paragraph of some thirty lines,
while to the republican State convention
held at the same time, it only had half a
dozen lines editorial like other ordinary
matter, and now it is body and soul out
in favor of the democratic candidate for
governor in Pennsylvania. This of course
is all for stock in the Baltimore conven-
ton

Before this paper reaches many of our
readers the national union republican
nominations win have been made at
Philadelphia, possibly in season for us
to announce them on fourth page. We
expect the nomination of Grant and
Colfax. 1t would give us great pleasure
to support Senator Wilson for vice pres
ident, as it would no doubt large por-
ton of the republicans of Vermont and
the country, and Mr.. Colfax by his with
drawal fairly left the field open, but the
convention will probably take the view
that all things considered, the old ban
ner of 1868 will be the strongest.

HAVE IT ALWAYS AT HAND.-Acei-
dents wi happen in the best regulated
families, and for this reason among many
others the Mustang Liniment should find
place in the cupboard of every house
hold. In all the world there is nothing
comparable to it as an application for
cuts, Commissions, burns, spasms and
scalds, and when every other prepare
ton that medical ingenuity can suggest,
has failed to afford relief in rheumatism,
neuralgia, sore throat, glandular swell
ings, muscular contractions, cramps,
toothache, &c, this powerful anti-infam
matory and pain-destroying agent imme-
iiately assuages the sufferers agony and
eventually accomplishes a radical cure.
probably there is not connoiseur in
horse-fesh or an amateur horseman in
the land who does not know, either from
personal observation OF reports that the
Mustang Liniment is the supreme rene
dy for all external diseases and injuries
of the horse.

A GREELEY BANNER.-In the dark
ness of the night preceding Decoration
Day, gentleman belonging to the legal
profession in Mortified, strung across
the main sire t of that place piece of
telegraph wire to which was attached a
achite flag bearing the names of Greeley
and Brown. On forming the procession
for decoration ceremonies the company
of cadets from Norwich Military Univer-
sity at first refused to to march under the
flag, but on being threatened by the Mar
shall with exclusion from the parade, re-
luctantly gave way. On coming under
the flag, however, every one, without or
ders, trailed their flag and guns and in
other ways expressed their diapprobation.
Returning the same course was pursued.

BREACH OF PRoMTsE.-A suit for
breach of promise, with damages laid at
$4,000, was recently brought in Provi-
dence by Julia A. Vallett, an ex-mill
girl of p, against Thomas Grace, a
wealthy bachelor of SO. From the tes-
timony it appears that this aged man
used to rise at o'clock on cold winter
mornings to walk down to the mill with
Julia; that when she was sick one time
he carried her stout serviceable pair of
shoes, besides lending her his book Of
mortgages to read and when she grew
better, they used to ride together, so
that, from hating the hideous mein of
lover, Julia came to endure, then pity,
then embrace, and consented to name
the day. Before it arrived, however,
the miserable man proved faithless, and
although he offered Julia a dollar to
" settle" she Indignantly refused it and
brought suit for $4,000. The jury
which had been trying this case, this
week, after estimating the market value
of affection, decided, yesterday, that
hers had deprecated about $4,000
worth, and rendered verdict accord
ingly.

DEATH OF FATHER MCEvoY.-The
Fitchburg Sentinel records the death of
the venerable Father McEvoy of that
town, on the oath ult., at the very adj
vanced age of one hundred and eleven
years. He was probably the oldest cler-
gyman in the United States. He was
born in the County Meath, Ireland, in
1861. He was educated for the Church
and has been settled in London, Eng.
and in Boston and other places in Amer
lea. He came to Fitchburg nearly twen-
ty years ago, after retiring from the ac-
tive duties of the ministry. He retained
the full possession of his faculties to the
very last. His funeral took place last
Sunday afternoon, and the burial process
ion was the longest ever known in town.

this fact for number of years and if it
has any particular significance now, and

are several who would make good gov
errors, and we shouldn't have to go out
