An UDpleasantness i'm the Happy

The Tribune devoted the first column
of its editorial page yesterday to adver-
Using itself as a campaign paper in the
ensuing Presidential canvass. That col
unn is curiosity in journalism. 1t is
an attempt, neither very skillful nor
very successful. to throw dust into the
ewes of it's old Republican readers. and
blind them to the fact that the Tribune
Republican party. That important jour
nal will henceforth wage a deadly war
upon the Republican organization, its
candidates and measures but it seems
unwilling to accept the natural conse-
quence of losing the greater portion of
its Republican subscribers. Hence the
singular exhibition it made yesterday in
hanging out false cOlOrs to protect itself
from being brought to by Republican
guns, boarded by Republican cruisers,
and having its papers searched and its
cargo cOntiscated by the party whose
flag it has carried since the nomination
of General Fremont in 1856. Of course,
none of its Republican readers are de
ceived by these timid tactics.
We will not be unjust to our COntem-
pOrary. We appreciate and admire the
personal devotion of Mr.. Greeley's fel-
i0w-st0ckholders in the TJj6une in con-
senting to a generous pecuniary sacrifice
to his political ambition. What we re-
gret and criticise is the rather disingeni-
Gus attempt of Mr.. Greeley's successor
to cover and hide the fact that the
7Ti5une has become the bitter enemy of
the Republican party, and that it will
hencefOrth assail the Republican candi-
dates, organization, and policy with a~
much zeal, if with less ability, than thai
journal, under the formidable control #
Mr. Greeley, has displayed against 'h"
men, measures, and policy of the D,m-
Ocratic organization. In all such mat
tiers, frankness and honesty are tltc best
policy. 1t is always more profitable as
well as more sincere, courageous, and
respectable for journal to sail under its
own proper colors, and hang out No false
colors to deludc the unWary.

The Baltimore correspondent of the
Washington Chronicle, who evidently
don't know the Hon. II. b. Smith so
well as we do up here thus goes for one
of MIR. Greeley's new-found friends:
The wisest-loOking owl in Baltimore
is Milton B. Smith, of Vermont. This
neutrality-suspicious. of kissing geese
still imagines that he is a principal part
in the economy of republican form of
government, and that much of this
worlds happiness depends upon the way
he wags his head up in the obscure town
of Milton, Vt. May be he thinks the
tidal wave will sweep over the Green
Mountain State. If he did he would not
be whit more foolish than a thousand
and one blatant blatherskites here who
talk about hundred thousand majority
for Greeley in New York, eighty thou
sand in Missouri, and the Lord knows
what in Massachusetts.

We noticed in last Fridays edition an
article from ProctOrsvillc. regarding our
celebration. We have always doubted
the propricty OF making mention Of in
diviCluals, especially in connection with
social gathering where all work
zcal0usly, and all are equally deserving
Of commentator. 1t can hardly be &C
compIished without doing injustice to
some, and iniuring the feelings of 9th
ers by bringing their names before the
public i'm an indicate manner.
In the article above mentioned, the
names of vice-presidents, marshals and
speakers were omitted. The prime
movers of the celebration were passed
by in silence, and culogistic remarks
made concerning those who OBLIGATED
only in part.
The celebration spoken Of as occurring
in the evening is news to us. Now all

the surveying party on the Gilmore Pond
route, for the Montpelier and Black
River railroad, while recently running
the line in the region of the George w.
Bailey farm, found the compass sudden
ly thrown into confusion by the appar-
ent close proximity of iron ore beds.
On inquiry it was found that extensive
deposits of iron ore were found in this
locality forty or fifty years ago-that
the lands were bonded and the mines
worked to quite an extent, the ore being
drawn to MOrrisville for smelling, where
suitable buildings were erected for the
purpose. The ore was of superior quail
ity, yielding 80 per cent, and making
an excellent quality of steel. Edge tools
are still in use in the neighborhood,
manufactured from the product of this
furnace. The destruction of the build
ing by fire, together with the heavy
cost of transportation led to the aban-
donment of the enterprise. The con-
structiOn of the Montpelier and Black
River Railroad will doubtless change the
whole aspect of affairs in respect to this
long slumhering interest,

Centennial ce'ebr"risu at Reading

Centennial Celebration at Reading
The committee of invitation for thr
Reading Centennial have issued the fol-
lowing circular to the natives and for
mcr residents of Reading and the public
generally. Extensive preparations are
in progress and the celebration will be
ON a grand scale:
READING. W., June 25th, 1872
Dear Sir The inhabitant of the
town OF Reading, Windsor county. Vt,
propose to commemorate, with appro-
pirate observances and festivities. the
One Hundrcdth Anniversary of the first
settlement of said town on the last
Wednesday (28th) of August, 1872.
In furtherancc of their purpose they
hereby send out fraternal greetings to
all those who, in whatever part of our
broad country they may now abide, have
kept green the memory of their birth
place or the home of former years. All
such they cordially invite to be present
and cooperate on the occasion referred
to, and assist to make it an event of
rare significance TO all that, from circum-
stances of birth, education, connection
or otherwise, feel an interest in the his
tory of the town or its former or pres
ent iuhabitrnts.
Undoubtedly larger number of her
SONS and daughters have emigratcd from
our good old town and are still living,
than now dwell within its borders. The
Centennial Anniversary will furnish an
excellent opportunity for a reuninn of
many who who in later years have rare
ly been seen among us. but who have
fri ,ndships and associations here Which
can never be forgotten.
The people of Reading are almost en-
tirely agricultural in their pursuits, and
while not unmindful of crops and cat
tie, believe that the nOblest product of
a Eow England municipality, is the
men and women that are raised among
these hills and valleys.
While the limited means at the dlspo-
sal of the committee or arrangements
will forbid us giving such a reception as
we could desire to those who, largely re-
spected and hOnOred beyond the limits
of their native town and State, shall re-
turn to favor us with their attendance,
we hope to convince them that our sim
pie hospitality covers a welcome none
the less hearty and sincere.
We conclude by expressing the hope
that your circumstances may be such
that you will find it convenient and
pleasant to be with us at the Centennial
together with such friends and relatives
as may wish to accompany you, and to
meet here larger number of the ma
tives of our town than were before as
sembled upon her soil

sloughed off into Democracy and who
are using the official influence which
they acquired from the Republicans who
are using the official influence which
7hry acquired from the Republican
PARTY to do it irreparable injury. They
even 90 as far as to compare them to
Judas. But this is doing Judas great in
justice. He, to be sure, betrayed his
Master as these Republican officials are
brtraying their party. But he was too
much of a gentleman to use the thirty
pieces of silver" he had in his pocket
against the cause he had betrayed.
That was a species of meanness to
which Judas would not stoop. He pre-
ferred to return the silver to the priests.
These Republican deserters, however,
have no such scruples. They not only
keep the offices conferred upon them by
the party they have betrayed, but they
lively use the influence those offices
a, item to injure their old friends.
