a Vermont Soldiers Convention.

Editor Rutland Herald Il notice in
the Weekly HERALD of August 22nd,
soul stirring article signed "Ex-Soldler,
of Brandon, and among other good
things, said by him, is a suggestion that
Vermont should have a soldiers conyen-
ton, to be held at Burlington or some
other convenient point, in which all
loyal soldiers can freely and fully ex-
press the love ard admiration which fills
their souls for the silent conquorer,
the brave leader of the Union armies,
and our honest and faithful Chief Mag
trate-Gen. Grant.
AS one who has stood in the ranks OF
the old Vermont Brigade, | would sec
ond the suggestion of our comrade OF
Brandon, and would suggest that said
convention be held at Rutland, and as
there is not sufficient time far O grand
rally from all parts of the State before
the September election, | would move
that it be held at some day, say about
the middle of September; and you can
rest assured that all loyal soldiers are
working to swell the Republican major
ity which Vermont, as the ''Star that
never sets, " is sure to give at our State
election, and now as after, we will work
for the success Of the grand Republican
party as only soldiers can work whose
hearts are again filled with the patriotic
fire of 81, and who again feel like
springing forward to dash back the
traitor crew, headed by a farmer CD
bearing aloft the stars and stripes but
that is only an old dodge of the rebs to
get possession of our camp, for rebels
they were, and now Horace Greeley is
backed by about all of the miserable,
murderous crew that Grant and the
Tnion boys left alive! How can any
honest man that has seen fit to join the
Liberal movement, consent to play into
the hands of the Democratic rebels who
rule the party with rod Of iron. Have
they forgotten the honors Of Anderson
vile, Macon, Salisbury and Castle Thun-
der, aud many more Of the same stamp {:
If so lei them refresh their memory by
looking over the old files Of the Tri-
6une.
Now Mr.. Editor, allow me space to
say few words to your readers who are
members of the Grand Army Of the Re
public:
Comrades We have a duty to do
that requires all the energies at our com
mand. We are not organized as poll
teal body, but we are bound to support
| loyal men for office and to give our first
choice to the loyal soldier candidate.
Here our duty is plain. Our old com
mander requires our united aid to retain
his seat against the insults of traitors.
The eyes of the world are upon us,
therefore, let us go to the ballot box
with full ranks, and yindicatc by our
ballot the course that we have hcwn out
with sword, cannon. rife and bayonct

Two Irishmen were overheard talk


Two Irishmen were overheard talk
ing together at the foot of the stairs Fri
d ny afternoon, after the Greeley and
Brown meeting had broken up. They
seemed to be intelligent men and had
probably heard Mr.. Culver before, when
he was talking on the other side OF the
question; they were canvassing the mat
ter. One of them says, "This man is
either a id rascal or fool" In view
of the statement of Mr.. Culver that he
has supported Gen. Grant for some
years, up to within year or two, and
had been very ardent supporter, ac-
cording to his own showing, and in view
of the fact that his record as General,
(Which he now attacks severely,) was as
well known when he came up for Presi-
dent in 1863 as now, why did he not at
tack it then in his ''sixty.one speeches
for Grant in that campaign? and if not
then, why now? Was Mr.. Culver hon
est four years ago, or is he honest now ?
We do not wonder that the Irishmen
were led to criticlse him sharply.
Scores of Greeley men were disgust
ed with Gen. Fitzpatrick, on Friday
evening. At the Mechanicsville Grant
and Wilson meeting, on Saturday even
ing, two men got up and stated that they
went to Rutland to hear Fitzpatrick as
Greeley men, and came back Grant men.
The report comes to US from st. Adams,
that the Greeleyitcs there say that the
General has hurt their cause in st. AL
bans very much.

If the Government is now surrendered
to the Democratic party and their new
but not numerous allies, these great am
endments become only words. Slavery
may not be restored, but equal rights
and impartial suffrage will be denied.
ing power. If the men in possession of
the Government will not enforce them,
they are but dead letters in the Consti-
tution-as impotent at the South as the
old clause respecting the rendition of
fugitive slaves was at the North. Can
any Republican fail to see this or, see
ing it, dare he fail to vote, as he always
has voted, in favor of making these
guarantees of the Constitution the pro-
lection and the defense of the Union
men of the South, white and black
alike?
We need not recall the brilliant record
of the Republican party. What the Re
public has saved, as we'll as what it has
gained in the last twelve years, is the
achievement of this party. When others
wavered, it was steadfast; when others
clamOred for a truce or surrender, it
kept its face to the armed foe; when
others negotiated for peace, at any price,
it demanded liberty and justice, and
through that, peace; when others at
tempted a reconstruction without uni
versal liberty, equal rights and suffrage,
it demanded and obtained all these
when others talked of reputation, it
stood fast by the honor of the nation,
and its policy has amazed the world in
the rapid payment of the public debt.
1t has increased the revenues, while it
has diminished taxation; it has settled a
grave difference with a foreign power,
by the peaceful method of arbitration;
it has adopted an Indian policy at once
humane and successful and during its
administration of the Government it has
not only carried the Republic success
fully through terribly destructive war
waged by traitors against the Union, bat
policy in peace has contributed to an adj
vance in the prosperity of every indus
try of the country unprecedented in our
history.
We ask every Republican to give one
day to the country. The nation has
learned, through the terrible experience
of a civil war, the cost of a Government
and policy unfaithful to the liberties
and rights Of the whole people. One
such experience should be sufficient for
a generation. The people see and feel
this. From every part Of the State
comes the most cheering intelligence.
Republicans who at first hesitated are
everywhere taking their old places in the
ranks They sec in the candidate Of the
new party only the dress Of the old Re
publican; the heart and life Of Republic
canism have gone ou5 Of him. They see
in the candidate Of the Republican
party, the Captain who never turned his
back to an enemy in war; the Chief
Magistrate who has no policy to enforce
against the will Of the people, and who
has faithfully executed the laws Their
verdict is not doubtful, Let it be en-
phatic and worthy OF Vermont.

From the Utica Herald

1t never has been and cannot be de

Gen Grant, and not he the Office. lie
made great sacrifices to accept it, and
has discharged its duties faithfully, 1t
was also fOreseen that his reelection
would be called fOr-certMnly ii his ads
ministratiOn was successful and popular,
Gen. Rawlings so understood i. aud
wanted to know what would become Of
the General at the expiration OF the
eight years. His words were
He is receiving from seventeen to TWEEN
ty thousand dollars year Is General Of
the armies of the rcpublc-a life salary.
To go into the Presidency Mt $4,000 a year
for eight wears, is perhaps to gain more
fame: but what is to become of him at
the end of his Presidency? lie Is not
politician. He does not aspire to the
place, Eight years from the Sth Of March,
1859. he will be about % years old. OF
course he must spend his salary as PreSi-
dent........and mark il, If Grant takes
anything from the rich whose vast for
tunes he has saved, after he is President,
he will be accused as the willing recipient
of gifts.
Of course there could have been no
thought of a second term for General
Grant unless it was demanded by the
people, as was his first Yet, this eX-
preston of interest in his friend, by
General Rawlings, is tortured by the
Tribune into evidence of a bargain in
advance for a second term and Of a con-
spiracy to secure it. One evidence that
the President has been engaged in no
such conspiracy is the fact that the Irt-
5u7ae and other mercenary opponents
have not been bought up and silenced.
But that Greeley then and subsequently
assented to the pr0priety of a second
term for Grant, is evident from the
language used by him in his speech Of
January 5, 1871:
While asserting the right of every Re
publican to his untramneled choice of
candidate for next President until nom
nation is made. | venture to suggest that
General Grant will be far better qualified
for that momentOus trust in 1872 than he
was in 1868.
If anybody was in the bargain or con-
spiraoy for a reelection of President
Grant, 1t was Greeley. He was not
then seriously figuring for zone term"
for himself, end saw no improperly in
a second term for Grant, who would be
far better qualified for that momentous
trust in 1872 than he was ia 1858. The
sage of Chappaqua had not then been
! directly approached by Tammany. But
when the Carmichael correspondence

/ than that Greeley viii never be prosti-

If there is anything the heightened re-
form papers like the T3j5une, the Spring
field Republican, and the Troy Press love,
it is an honest and modest man. They
can never cease to love one of that kind.
But why in the world do they not say a
word about DOolittle, who presided at
the Baltimore meeting and carried the
news to Horace? They are indepcndv
emit journals and not organs They
grind only the music Of the spheres.
They hit a dishonest head wherever
they see it at least, they pretend to do
it. Now it is charged, apparently upon
irrefragable proof, that Mr.. Doolittle,
who cannot endure Grant, while a Unit
ed States Senator, audaciously sought to
blackmail an ex-clerk from the Treasury
Department, who had obtained a cotton
permit, and was presumed to be on the
road to wealth The details show Doc
little to be one of the most covetoUs and
meanest men whose soTdidness has been

not say one word Of protest against him,
not one word in condemnation of his
shameful acts. Where is their virtuous
indignation p Trey Times.
