of voters by non-registry, and the power
of the vicious and ignorant-who are
certain to register-will be proportion
ately augmented.
But no arguments or appeals ought
to be necessary in this supreme hour
of peril to property, social order and
personal liberty, to induce the citizen
to clothe himself with the full powers
of sovereign. He is blind to his inter-
ests, deaf to the prayers of humanity
and unworthy of the name and home
of a freeman, who fails in this crisis to
do his whole duty in the struggle to

being admitted. Carroll had two sets,
and the same compromise was proposed
and carried but, Mr.. Lanier proceed
ing to bolt, the convention reconsidered
its action, and admitted the Clay set,
and kicked the other into the middle of
the next campaign.
Morey, who played full hand in the
proceedings, received nearly all the
vote, viz. 253 to 81 for Dave Young,
the funny darkey parson and Legislator
from Concordia, who, in noticing his
defeat, said he had been eating buzzard
long enough, he now wanted some
turkey. Dave, however, pledged his
support to the nominee, but said he
would be up again two years from now,
and would come over a little sooner, so
that these people could not say to him,
You came little too late; if you had
only come sooner it would have been
all right.
Morey closed the exhibition with Il
weak effort at praising Grant and a
sickening eulogy of himself as the friend
of amnesty, Of internal Improvements
and iberaiity generally. He prudently
avoided the Bureau business, and his
connection with the North Louisiana
and Texas Railroad. He thought the
struggle would be close one and urged
his friends to work hard. Dave Young
quietly, afterwards, that he
did not want to take any such despe-
r ate chances himself.

WANT OF VITALITY.

If a deficiency Of vital energy is not
disease in itself it is Il condition which
lays the system open to the attacks of all
conceivable maladies. Night and day we
are surrounded more or less by deleteri-
Gus influences. No atmosphere is entire
ly pure, no water utterly free from iniuri-
Gus particles; while in many localities
both are positively uuwh0lesomc. What
defence has the weak. laIguid system. in
which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant, against any OF the morbid infiu-
cnces which produce epidemic ana other
diseases !? None whatever. There is no
safety save Ia artificial reinforcement.

The MILK Business.

To tie Aa1t Producers along the Line Of
tie Harlem Egtepsioaa RailrOdd.-
GENTLEMEN,-You have been induced
to embark in the milk business and have
established the fact that milk can be
sent safely to market from any point of
the Harlem Extension valley.
You believed and still have good rea-
son to believe, that the production and
sale of milk has been very profitable
branch of farming in any locality where
milk can be shipped and reach the mar
ket in sound condition; and you have
been sadly disappointed in the returns
made for your investment and labor
You complained, and investigated, and
have found that the cause of your COM
paint of small receipts was not occa-
stoned by the low price of milk in the
market, but that the consumer paid a
fair, liberal price for your milk. Nor
did the cause of your complaint rest,
upon an over-stOcked market, for the in
crease of demand has fully equaled the
increase of supply for the past ten years.
But You found that the sale and return
price Of your milk was entirely in the
hands Of men who cannot be clasSed
with the consumer or producer, and that
YOU did not receive a fair compensation
for milk, because these men were not
disposed to give it. You examined the
extent of the dictatOrial pOweranGl found
it unlimited and firmly fixed. You found
yourselves powerless-dl0ne. But when
united with other milk producing dis
tricts you could become yourselves the
dictators and managers OF your own
property.
You have expended time and money
to unite a sufficient number of milk pro-
ducers to control or seriously affect the
market, and have succeeded beyond
your most sanguine expectations. All
other milk producing localities, chatting
under the same arbitrary rule and mis-
management, have promptly and earn
cstly responded to your call, and unani-
mously declared their determination to
sell their own produce and receive the
pay. Weeks and months of thought
and labor and consultation have been
expended in deyising the plan Of
union that should be strong enough to
warrant durability. and possess tie yigOr
to insure success; an organization
formed under the general laws of the
State Of New York, with working cap
ital not to exceed one million Of dollars
has been deemed the strongest and most
vigorous union that could be formed.
Such an organization has been formed.
It's provisions carefully guard the in
tcrest of the farmer; its capital stock
must be taken and held by the farmer;
its books viii be opened on the 18th
instant at Bennington. 1t now rests
with you milk producers to relieve your
selves from a band of heartless eXtor-
TONERS. and make the sale of milk prot
table to the producers for all future
time. OF to quietly and silently submit to
be driven from the market, or boldly
and grieyously robbed.

THE HERALD.-The Springfield Repub-
lean of Wednesday thus editorially
speaks of the Vermont Press and THE
HERALD: Our special correspondent
in his late thorough review of the cam
paign in Vermont, unwittingly did in jus
tice to the two most enterprising, con-
spicuous and worthy daily journals of
the State-the Rutland HERALD and the
Burlington Free PreS8-trusting appa-
rently to what was told him by those
whom he supposed was their faithful
readers, and not having at hand their
files to examine for himself, he spoke of
the Vermont press as not having pub
lished Mr. Summers recent letters. 1t
appears, however, that both these jour
mails, with creditable enterprise, spread
them both in full, before their readers.
THE HERALD, and not the Free Press, is
the largest of the daily journals of the
State, but both are honorable illustra-
tons of the provincial daily press of the
country, alike in enterprise, intelligence,
zeal and candor; and certainly it was
by accident alone that their journalistic
character was in any way impugned in
these columns"

Accident on The Rutland Railroad

railroad, which left here at noon, Tues
day, met with a serious accident at about
two o'clock in the afternoon. when some
2 miles below Bartonville. Wehavc been
unable to CLEAN full particulars, but
learn that the tender, baggage car and
one Of Pullman's drawing room coaches
were thrown from the track, and
wrecked. 1t is understood that no one
was injured. The accident was caused
by the breaking of a journal of the ten
der The road was not cleared at a late
hour last night, so as to permit the reg

ton for all trains to-day.
