The Goyernorship.
For the Bellows Falls Times,

Mr.. EDlToR.-I read your article on
the Governor question with much pleas
ure. The reasons and argument brought
forward by you in favor OF the one term
Of two years seem TO me unanswerable.
They meet the views of our people here
very generally. What claim, many ask,
has Gov. Stewart to be elected to the of
fee of governor for four gears, while for
thirty years and more past, no man has
held it more than two years. 1t is more
honor for a man to be elected to an of
fee for two years, than it is for one, hence,
so far as the honor is concerned, a
reelection is not necessary. There are
many men in the State, on both sides of
it, that the people in due time, will be
pleased to elect to that office, and for
that reason are not ambitious to see it
monopolized by one man beyond the
term it has been filed by other men,
equally worthy to say the least. And
besides, many of your readers are forci.
bly, struck by the point in your article,
in reference to Mr.. Converse of Wood
stock. 1t seems Gov. Stewart wants the
people to elect him twice so that he may
hold the Office four years, while two
years ago he thought it would be suffi-
oient honor for Mr.. Converse to receive
but one election and hold the office for
only one gear. If that was good doc
trine then, it ought certainly to be Just
as good now, when one election secures
to the Governor term of tlpo gears and
tloo gears salary. We, who were Mr..
Converse's friends two years ago, desire
to hold Gov. Stewart to what he then
protested to believe, was sound doctrine
If one election, and that for term OF
only one gear was good enough for Mr.
Converse, in Gov. Stewards estimation
two years ago, before the constitutional
convention, surely he, nor his friends can
find no fault now if the people believe
that one election by him for a term Of
taco gears ought to satisfy his ambition
When you came outso decidedly in your
paper for one term for Governor, | be
lieve you struck the right chord, and
one that the great mass of the people o.
the State will be in harmony with.

LONELINESS ON THE INCREAsE.-A

the eye-delighting result of the immense

with whenever it is used For the sal
low and unwholsome appearance of eff

may possess, it substitutes that clear,

transformation which it effects in these

National Union Republican Con-
vemtiOn.

GRANT AND WILSON.
The organization of the national
union republican convention at Phila-
delphia, we gave last week. The usual
officers, vice presidents, secretaries-one
from each State--were chosen. The
Hon. William Harris, Jr., of this dis
trict was the secretary for Vermont, and
Hon. Horace Fairbanks, the vice Presi-
dent. OF the committees our State was
represented as follows: On credentials,
Hon. George w. Grandey, on permanent
organization, Hon. George Wilkins; on
resolutions. Hon. BENZ. III. Steele; on
rules and business, Hon. James Hutch
ins0n. The Vermont delegation had
their headquarters at the Continental,
parlor %, and organized with Gov.
Smith as chairman and Hon. George
Nichols as secretary. Several Of the
delegation were understood to favor SEN
ator Wilson as their first choice for vice
president, but in accordance with the ex-
preston of the State convention held at
this place, the first of May, the vote of
the State was given entire for Colfax.
a ballot was taken by States for
candidate for president, and every State
voted unanimously for Gen. Grant, the
chairman of each delegation giving the
vote of his State in few pithy remarks
amid great enthusiasm and cheering
AT the conclusion the president of the
convention announced the result, when
an indiscnbable scene ensued. The con-
vention and galleries rose cheering, wav-
ing their hats and handkerchiefs, while
the band played an original campaign
song, Rally Around Our Leader, Men"
composed by VIM. S. Irwin, and sung
by a baritone from the gallery, which
was received with great applause.
AT the conclusion and after the cheer
ing had subsidized there were loud cries
for the music of John Brown" until
the band began to play it, the whole Con-
vention rising and singing it with enthu-
siasm. At this time the excitement was
intense, which eliminated when the
band followed with the stirring strains
Of Yankee Doodle, and next the call for
the" Battle Cry of Freedom" was res
pended to by the band. The audience
again joining in the chorus with will
Mr.. Chase Of Indiana was called to
the platform and sung the RED, White
and Blue" the band and audience join
ing in the chorus. The enthusiasm would
not be silenced until Mr.. Church follow
ed with " Marching through Georgia"
AT the conclusion he called for three
cheers for the loyal black men who
stood by our boys as they were march
ing to the sea, which were given with
will.
