One Term.

We print elsewhere some comments made
BY the Burlington Free Press respecting the
action of the Chittenden County Convention.
The right of the people to pass the offices
around is undoubted, but the policy of it may
perhaps be fairly questioned. A State gov
eminent that should be composed entirely of
new men, Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Senate and House of Representatives, clerks
reporters and messengers, would be some
thing new in Vermont. and after one trial
we don't believe the experiment would be
repeated 1t was deemed wise in the consti-
tuition of the United States to provide
against the possibility of a completely new
Senate at any time. Two-thirds OF that
body,-except where changes are made
| from resignation or death-will always be
old members. The body is thus never with
out experience Ia the House of Represen-
tatives similar result is always reached
| through the voluntary action of the electors
seldom more than one-half of that popular
/ branch even being new members. In Yer
mont, under the annual system of elections
neither House was wholly new. The Speaker
was usually if not always an old member
and the officers Of both branches were
usually, in part, those who had had previous
experience in the discharge Of their duties
No one conversant with legislation eve
doubted that, other things being equal,
| legislature and State government, mad'
ND in part of persons not entirely new il
their official places, was better for the Stat
than an entirely new set Of officials Thu
right of anybody to Office can never be supe
rior to the public good, and rotation may b.
pushed to a mischievous extreme.
We confess that we have thus far beer
unable to see why biennial elections ought t
.hange in any degree the old fashiOne,
practice of re-electing members of tn
| legislature and Of the State government
An official who is lit to be elected at all i
better fitted for a second term than for frs
term; and the person unfit cannot too sool
be left at home whether elected for one yea
or two. In Vermont the towns and cOuntle
which have first elected good men, and after
wards repeatedly reelected them, have beef
by far the most influential in the legislature
and this viii remain true under the biennia
system as under the annual system. If th
experiment of new State government a
every election is tried we are confident som
way will soon be found of abandoning 1t
even if it has to be accomplished by return
to the system Of annual elections.

IHE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN New HANP-
-HIRB.-The nomination Of Bainbridge Wad-
| leigh, Esq, Of Milton, as the Republican
candidate tor United States senator to sue
coed MIR. Patterson, was a surprise, and will
occasion much regret among those who know
the fidelity, ability and honorable and honest
character maintained by Mr.. Patterson in
public life. The fight against Mr.. Patterson
was begun in behalf of E. H. Rollins, for
merly a representative in Congress from New
| Hampshire, and an active politician not of
the better sort, who claimed the place as a
| reward and recognition of his services as a
manipulation of politics in that State In
the caucus, however, Mr.. Rollins received
less than 80 votes, while Mr.. Patterson 5
highest vote was IO3, only seven less than
required for a nomination. After the fourth
ballot, the larger part of the caucas voted
for Mr.. Wadleigh, and his nomination was
made unanimous.
Whatever Mr.. Wadleigh' s peculiar fitness
for the position may be, New Hampshire
will certainly lose position and influence in
the Senate when Mr.. Patterson leaves
loss not likely to be made good for many
years. Mr.. Wadleigh is said to be better
man in every respect than Mr. Rollins, and
it can hardly be otherwise but honesty and
capacity snch as Mr.. Patterson has shown
are not SO frequent in public life as to make
any one acquainted with them express any
thing but regret when they fail to command
the support Of the people.
The latest report concerning this senate
rial contest is the following telegram from
Concord, dated June 18th
Il Is rumored here to-day that Hon. J.
W. Patterson Is endeayoring to makea trade
between the democrats in the legislature and
dissatisfied republicans, by which he can be
returned TO the Senate. 1t is reported that
he claims TO be able to carry enough repub-
llcans with him TO ensure his election. lie
can have the strength of the democratic
party IN the House. Leading democrats are
said TO be negotiating with him

to do it.. as they are doing it in many cases,
is question not difficult to answer. 1t is
clear that equal rights between laborer and
employer can be coupled with no compul-
sion on either side. The laborer has no more
right to use force TO bring the employer to
terms than the employer has to use force to
compel the labOrer to work for such wages
as lie may offer. Yet many of these strikers
have only been prevented by the police from
lorcibly compelling workmen to quit work.
This use Of combinations OF laborers is not
only against law, against equal rights, danger
rous in the end to the laborers themselves,
but is subversive of the first principles of
government itself
For what is government? Is it something
which Is to regulate the hours of rising and
going to bed, of eating and drinking? Ought
it to tx the price of labor, or Of bread, or OF
the products of the soil Shall it tell the
farmer what he shall ask for his corn or his
pork, or his hay; in what hours of the day
he shall feed his cattle, or take them to mar.
kct: on what days he shall plant and reap
what shall be the months of harvest and
what Of seed time If it may not tell the
farmer what be shall ask for his butter anC
tile mechanic what he shall pay for it, what
right has it to tx the hours Of work fol
either Of them. or the price which shall be
! paid for the work? Is not government some
thing quite different from this ?
II is plain enough that government should
MT give one person any advantage over an
other. 1t gives no person rights that il
not its Office. If it takes away no rights i

The ONE TERN RUIN the ChIttenden
County Republican Convention on Saturday,
resolution tayoring the good old Vermont
rule " of re election for a second term was
voted down by "a vote of three to one OF those
voting, and by majority of the Convention
Some of the arguments IN favor of the two
term rule We're briefly presented. 10 these
the advocates Of one-term had no reply to
offer, though challenged to give some reason
for the faith that was in them. They simply
killed the resolution as soon as they could
get at it, by motion TO dismiss, and pro-
ceeding in the nomination of State Senators,
with special reference TO which the resolution
WAS offered, the Convention replaced with
new men, two Senators who have served
faithfully for one term.
With curious Inconsistency the Convention
then went on 90 nominate for reelection ull
half of the present county officers. and also
udOpted with absolute uuauimIcv "a resolution
in favor of the reelection of the President
of the United States. Thus was as mach as
10 say, that the Republicans Of ChIttendeu
County, as represented IN the Convention,
consider experience as Of value Tor Judges OF
Probate. SIDE Judges, SlCrIts, and State :
Attorneys, and for the President OF the
nation but OF no account for our State leg
islat1rs The Convention IN effect said e.
It's nominees for Senator's; Gour office Is OF
little account. In these other Offices, It is
important for us 70 retain tried and capable
men. but your office exists simply tor giving
men prefix TO their names. Ii Is OF no
consequence what you do, OF omit u do, in
your Office, whether you serve wei OF i'll in
Il, we shall shift you out of 1t, as soon as
We can get around 70 YOU, and give the title,
soon to BE rendered ljrtle worth under such
"a process, to somebody else who would like
it"
Probably the majority of the Convention
did not realize that their action was thus
insulting to their nominees for the Senate a;
but what else can be made of it
Our readers understand that our opposition
to this one term policy, has in 1t not a
particle of opposition 70 the new nominees,
personally. They are our friends. We
esteem them highly: and consider them
excellent selections for the office. If a change
must be made. But we object on principle,
IN this cheapeniug OF most important Offices
The result IN no respect surprised Us. 1t
has been only too apparent, of late, that the
set OF public sentiment, among those who
give most attention 10 political matters, was
IN that direction. We were ia fact agreeably
surprised to find even one third of the Con
venton either voting for, or unwilling to
vote against Mr.. TalcOtt's resolution Ii
was sure TO fail, as a veteran politician said
~ because the outs are more numerous than
the ms But while bowling to the decision
for we believe in majority rule, We DO so with
sincere regret that Vermont Republicans
should be found declaring that the Offices. or
that portion of them 80 which they apply
the one term rule, exist, not for the public
service but for the benefit Of the office seek
ers. -Erec Press

ORANGE CoUNTY.-We give elsewhere the
regular report of the Orange County Re-
publican Convention holden at Chelsea last
Wednesday. We are especially pleased with
the selection of LYMAN q. HINCKLEY, Esq,
of Chelsea, as one of the senatorial candi-
dates And his triumphant election, which
is sure to take place on the first Tuesday of
September next, will be hailed with delight
1 by that very large proportion OF the people
of Vermont who know and appreciate his
legislative experience, his intellectual ability
and the geniality of his character We
cannot, perhaps, do better than to copy the
| following just tribute to Mr.. HINcKLEY,
which we find in the Burlington Free Press
of this morning, and add that we can from
personal knowledge and observation endorse
every word of praise there bestowed upon
the candidate. The Free Press is, however
mistaken in one thing. Mr.. Hinckley has
served in the House of Representatives sii
years. instead of four, having been member
for four annual terms and one biennial
session, and he is . young man yet, with
ROOu prospects Ol several bcEHS VI Idb4iN
service in the future. This is what the Ere,
Press says:
Mr. Hinckley will be a valuable member
of the Senate. He has had large experience
in legislation, having been for several YEAR,
one of the clerks of the House, and for foul
years representative from Chelsea. At the
last session he was prominent eandidat,
for Speaker against Colonel Joyce. lie is
good speaker and admirable debater, ha
long done the Republican cause good service
in Orange county, aad his nomination is one
eminently fit to be made. Mr.. Sheid, The
associate of Mr.. Hinckley on the ticket, ha!
been a member of the House from Newbury
and for several years past has been one o
the directors of the State Prison. lie is vel
qualified for the position for which he ha
been nominated.

Orange Co. Republican Convention

| The republicans of Orange County met in
convention at Chelsea on w ednesd8v, June
| 10, at O'Clock a. NJ, and were called to
order 10y l. IL. Tabor, ESQ acting chairman
of the Co Committee. A temporary organ
ization was effected by the election Of o.
Gambell, Jr., Esq, for President; J. X.
Parish and Levi Tabor for Vice Presidents
D. W. Cobb and \. 5. Allis for Secretaries.
The temporary organization was made the
permanent one of tie convention.
Committee on Resolutions was appoint
ed, consisting of L. q. Hinckley, d. A.
Rogers William Child, John P. Cleveland,
and R. Z. Patterson.
The roll of towns being called, all the
towns in the county were found to be rep
resented.
A motion was made that the convention
adopt the one term principle a rule in
nominating county officers. One or two
amendments were offered, and the question
was discussed by 5. X. Berry, d. 4. Rogers
J X. Parish. Ezra Walker, Mr.. Barron, a.
). Allis, Mr.. Martin of Williamstown, B. W.
Bartholomew, and John Lynde.
c. c. Sargent then offered the following
resolution as a substitute for the pending
motion:
Resolred That in view OF the biennial question
in our politics, the expression of this convention
rsvors as general rule the one term principle;
but at the same time we deem 1t not advisable TO
make a rule which shall operate binding upon
the discretion of the nominating committee.
). K. Berry moved an amendment to ex-
cept Senators, but it was not seconded.
This resolution was discussed by MAJ.
Richard Smith. j. Parish, A. S. Allis and
L. g. Hinckley, and a motion to table the
resolution was carried.
1t was then voted that when the conven-
ton adjourned for dinner the towns get to-
gether and select three delegates from each
town to constitute nominating committee
to report nominations to the convention.
Adjourned TO o'clock P. N.
In the afternoon the convention was
called to order and b. w. Bartholomew, Chair
man of the Nominating Committee reported
the following nominations

We find in the Rutland HeraH the follow
ing Just tribute to the Senators recently
nominated by the Chittenden County Bepub-
lican Convention
Mr. Bigelow's nomination Is q merited
recognition of his services for the party. He
has long been a leader and hard worker,
and has done efficient service for his friends
lie has had service as clerk of the House
some years ago, which will aid him materi-
ally as a legislator, and prepares him at once
to enter upon his duties fully understanding
the position to which he has been called
His journalistic experience Of many years is
also Of great value 10 him-havng been ac-
customcd TO watch the progress of events,
and know the wants of the State as well as
those of his immediate constituents. Al
though comparatively young man, Mr..
Bigelow is admirably adapted To the business
Of legislation. Mr. Mason has been a mem
Der OF the House and is a gentleman Of wide
experience in business and fully understands
the people He Is AZ the presen. time one of
the truste of the Vermont Reform School.
IL is a good selection for Senator. Mr.
Humphrey has been member Of the House
If the legislature Is to be made up mainly
Of men who are yet to have their " ono term.
1t is especially wise to select, as ChittenI57
County has done, those who will bring e.
their work familiarity at least with the gen.
eral scope and purpose Of legislation.

LAMomLE CoUNTY.-The Republicans of
Lamoille County held their Convention at
Hydepark last Saturday. We learn that
Hon. II. ii. Powers received unanimous
nomination as the candidate for Senator.
Mr.. Powers is one of the rising young men
Of the State, and has few superiors as a
lawyer and debater. His selection for the
Senate is creditable to the good judgment Of
the Convention. We are informed that the
Convention also heartily endorsed a resolu-
ton recommending the nomination Of Hon.
George W. Hendee of Morrisyille as a candi-
date for Representative from the Third Con-
gressional District

The Relations of Capital and Labor
Legislation.
The Philadelphia platform contains thC
following resolution:

following resolution
Among the questions which press for attention
rs that which concerns the relations OF capital and
Of shaping legislation as to secure full protec-
ton and the amplest field for capital, and for labor
the creator Of capital the largest opportunities, and
just share or mutual profits ofthese two servants
OF civilization.
If this resolution can fairly be said to mean
anything, it proposes a very dangerous
species of legislation. There is no doubt
that labor ought TO have an equal chance
with capital in this country and in every
country and if We have any laws that de-
prive it Of that equal chance, they ought
to be repealed at once. Equality Of rights
is the fundamental principle Of our govern
ment, and ought to be respected in all legis-
lation. The way to reach it, however, is not
by legislating respecting hours Of labor or
amount of wages. When that is asked for,
those who urge it seem to forget that il govern
ment has a right to say that eight hours shall
be day, it has right to say that fourteen
hours shall be a day. The power to say any
thing on the subject implies the power to say
everything II implies not only the power
to name the hours of labor but the value of
labor; to say that it shall be one dollar or
five dollars a day. And if it can say this, it
can also provide penalty for violation Of
the law, and punish the laborer who refuses
70 work, or the capitalist who refuses to
employ him. If the principle is once reeog-
nized there is no limit to the extent of its
application except the discretion of the law
making power.
Probably no more mischievous law was
ever passed by Congress than that making
eight hours days work for government
employees. 1t at once made those at
work for the government favored class
and 1t set the example of a kind of legisla
ton which cannot be wisely followed any
where. IL never would have been passed
except to catch votes; and it is kept on the
statute book for the same purpose. One of
the fruits of this legislation is now being
seen in New York and other cities where
thousands of workmen are striking to compel
employers to pay the same wages for eight
hours hitherto for ten hours work
Whether it is wise for laborers to demand
increased wages is a question not easily
settled ; whether it is wise or right for them
