MARVELLOUS EFFECT.

II. Il. STEVENS:
Dear Sir,-I have used Vegetine, and feel it a
duty to acknowledge the great benefit it has done
me. In the spring of the year 1862, l was sick
from general debility caused by over-work, want
of sleep and proper rest. l was very weak. and
much emaciatod | tried many remedies without
receiving any benefit feom any of them, until
was persuaded to try Vegetine. Before | had
taken this one week, my improved condition gave
me renewed hope and courage. | continued to
take it, every day gaining more strength, until
was completely restored to health. The effect Of
this remedy, in case of general debility, is indeed
marvellous. ELIZABETH A. FOLEY,

temperance men have this feeling, are
they going to give it practical shape, or
are they satisfied with Il few speeches and
little sentiment once year? If they
intend to do any thing, and if any thing
can be done-as Of course there cant

not be worth their while to bestir them

The Cause of temperance finds some OF its most
insidious and dangerous foes in the many social

whskey and refuse liquors, finished up TO suit

How THE FREEDMEa WILL Go.-Thc
editor of the Hartford Post, who went
enthusiastically to Cincinnati aud left in
detection, but claims to have been i'm
menscy chcercd up and rcconciled to
Greeloy's nomination by his subsequent
trip South, admits, however, that there is
no prospect Of cuticiug the negroes away
from the support of Grant He says;
"The instinct of the black man is to
vote for the party which drought Free
dom, and SO he will vote the Republican
ticket. The distinction Of Liberal Re-
pubicani,m he does not comprehend, and
so between the Republican candidates he
is likely to be in a middle. He knows
Grant the General, however, better than
he does Greeley the editor and philosopher
and it will not be easy to make him I'M
derstand that Horace Greeley's pen did
more toward freeing the slave than Gen.
eral Grants sword. He will be likely to
be governed by his instinct, rather than
his intelligence, if left to himself, and GO
for Grant"

EThe "oldest city in Vermont" was
the scene Of great commotion, last Satur-
day. 1t was market day and the iarm-
ers from dozen towns poured in with
farm wagons, buggies, carriages, with
loads of butter and without butter, to pur-
chase or sell, or learn the market price
of produce, or some other object equally
laudable. So also the politician was
there in force, busting in and out of the
hotels, gathering in knots, discussing the
probabilities, endeavoring to effect favor
able combinations, rushing about most
frantically, sometimes mentally swearing
while outwardly serene, and sometimes
not entirely placid outwardly. The can
ditate was also on the ground, calmly I'M
concerned Of course, dressed as carefully,
aud as decorous and as stiff as MADAME
Jarley's Genuine Wax Works. The
average idler was also in the crowd, Ian
guild and aimless, only serving to swell
its volume. This aggregation of conflict
ing wills, aims and efforts, made the little
city seethc and boil like volcano before
eruption.
EThe Nermontcr is "free to say
that it don't approve of the,public discus
sion of the question of candidates for the
office of sheriff cat this stage of the polit.
lea. canvass" 1t wants to wait until the
candidates and their friends came to au
understanding" Now, really, that is a
little "too thin" The position is one Of
hostility to Mr.. Trip. 1t can be inter-
preted in no other way. No kilograms
or explanations in private, can deceive
anybody. There is desire to cover up
that little plot Of political hucksters "tc
fix things" beyond peradventure before
any stir is made about it. That is just
the meaning of the words "at this stage
of the political canvass" and nothing
less. Mr.. Skiff had been working W
his case, quietly but diligently; expo
sure just cat this stage Of the poitca
canvass" might endanger the scheme. Nc
true friend of Mr.. Trip would desire tc
cover up an effort to displace him which
can have no hope of success, except in con
cealment. The position Of the Vermont
er is of no possible consequence, and We
would not have taken the trouble to striI
away its "thin" cover, but for the oppor
tunity to make this one remark. Tit
people have right to know what is 60
ing on at all "stages of the political can
vlss," even before combinations ure mad
which are too strong to be broken. AM
they have right to expect their loca
papers will give such information as ma.
come into their possession, with regard t.
local political matters. No politica
newspaper is true to its constituent.
which fails to obtain, so far as possible
and to give to its readers at an earl
hour, such information Of the plans an
operations of candidates for their suffrag
es, as will enable them to have a voice i
the determination of the final results
If this is not the duty Of the politics
newspaper, then it has no worthy mi'
sion.

The indianapolis Journal closes an ar
ticle wherein Horace Greeley's incapacity
for the Presidential Office Is convincingly
portrayed IN these words: 1--WE have
no fear that Greeley would steal, or let
anybody else steal, but we have most
unmitigable fear that his inveterato sense
of capacity for anything under heaven,
from sailing Il ship to Smelling corn would
make him nuisance"

The republican convention in New
York, Thursday Endorsed Gen. Grant and
called for his reelection, as to be expect
ed. The democratic convention praised
the Cincinnati platform of principles and
recommended its adoption at Baltimore,
but did not come out so boldly for the
Cincinnati ticket,a appearances the night
before indicated it would. 1t is evident
enough that the New York democrats
will go in heartily for Greeley and Brown,
if further developments show that they
have any chance at Baltimore. With
the natural timidity Of politicians, they
want to wait little before pledging
themselves irrevocably.

1t is now said on good authority, that
the cause which contributed to the de-
feat of Judge Davis at Cincinnati was
his refusal to place himself unreservedly
in the hands of the Liberals, He was
approached, few days before the Con-
vention, by certain Liberal emissaries
who desired him to pledge himself that
he would not allow the Democrats to have
a voice in debating his policy or shaping
his administration. He unequivocally
refused to pledge himself to anything
and was henceforth marked for defeat.

VOORHEES, on GREELEY. A very sig
nifcant straw got loose and went off on
the wings Of the wind Monday. when
Congressman Voorhees, gave his reasons
why he could not-and as he strongly in
timated would not-support Mr.. Greeley
for the Presidency. From the Demo-
cratic point of view, these reasons were
just what might be expected, provided
the Democracy have really concluded to
stick to their old opinions and in any
point of view, his condemnation Of Gree
ley's trucking to the demands of the
secessionists in 1860 was just and descrv-
ed. The curiosity here, though, is to
hear the rebuke Of this particular sin
coming from this particular quarter The
whole demonstration is among the most
interesting signs of the times, for while
it indicates the Democratic current at
the present moment as setting away from
a Liberal coalition, it still implies that
there is danger OF such an event in Mr.
Voorhees, opinion, or else man Of
prominence in the party would not have
come forward in this way. The Interrupt
tions of the other Democratic members
also plainly bctray the feverishness under
which their party is now lunguishing

The French government announced on

among them Duke de Noailles as minis
ter to Washington. This is perhaps the
old Bourbonist, historian of Louis XIV,
and successor Of Chateaubriand in the
academy, though his age would now be
near 70,-not very old to be sure, con-
sidering how smart Frenchmcn are in
their old age. Jules Ferry goes to Greece
and is thus finally laid to rest. he was

that he told his friends Of his probable
appointment, and since then has endured

Our iufurcn.c .l>t week that the APP
preaching State Convention would bring
out a new candidate for gubcrnatorial
honors, was based upon the conclusion,
which then seemed almost irresistible,
that there would be such united and
persistent call of Gov. Stewart to broad
er field as would hardly leave him the
alternative of refusal. Since then, how
ever. it comes authcritatively from vari-
Gus and reliable sources, that the per-
sonal preference and judgment OF the
Governor himself, which we so definitely
stated two weeks ago, has taken the set
tied form iof fixed and unalterable re-
solution-frst, that under no circumstances
will he consent to be candidate for Con-
gress and second, that he aciH be can.
didate for reelection to the Office Of
Governor. This of course settles the
matter beyond all controversy, and III
our judgment settles it as it should be
1t seems great mistake that anything
else was ever thought of. The people CT
Vermont will never adopt the practice Of
choosing new State officers at every cleo
ton and certainly there can be no rca
son for making the case of our present
efficient and popular executive an excep
tional one. Aud if the friends of any
other candidate have been placed in al
embarrassing position by any diiferen
aspect which this question has heretofor,
assumed, we fail to see that any blam,
can rest upon Governor Stewart himsel
for, as we understand it, he has un
iformly, though probably not so firmly
occupied his present position. A goo,
candidate for the succession will keep
and no other is deserving Of even on
election.

action and restrained in criticism by the
knowledge that whatever be may say or
do is closely scanned by thousands, eager
to find in it what may be so interpreted
as to annoy and perplex those who are
supporting him as candidate, and to
whom his shackled condition will not per-

to elect nominal Republican as Pres

ton, will not work. Fifteen Congressional
committees of investigation have been in
