NOT OVER HOPEFUL.

II any one has, heretofore, doubted that
there was a government of the people and
by the people. the fact has been made pa
tent, in Washington, during the present
week. The several Senators and Repre-
scntatiyes begin to realize that the people
are the source of all power, that they are
merely their servants, agents and repre-
scntativcs, and, accordingly, evincc little
wholesome fear of the soycrcigns from
whom they derive their official position.
The fact is dimly dawning on their minds
that the same voters, who made them po-
litically, can unmakc them that the peo-
pie honor them, not they the people and
that they are sent to Congress to lcglslate
for the public good, not for their own in
diyidual benefit. This was most forcbly
illustrated in the action of the republican
congressional caucus-nearly all of the
members being present-in the almost
unanimous passage of resolution to ap-
point a committee, with instructions to re-
port ablll virtually repeating the increase

RUTLAND, Vt, Dec 4, 1873.
Ldt0r If the Glohe While there has
been wide spread excitement throughout
many OF the western states, growing out
of the relations of the farming interests to
railroad monopolies. and an organization
almost as widely dilfused, has made itself
felt in the politics Of these states, until il has

lively, has been said of it Ivy the press of our
state. No journal, | believe, has under
taken anything like an exhaustive discus
sion of the interests involved, nor limited at
its possible results as it may effect the flu
ture of public sentiment in our own state.
For an organization Of so recent date, it
has, think, been successful beyond the
most sanglinc expectations of its sympa-
thiscrs and supporters We have seen it
elect its Judges, and thereby revolutionize
the Judicial opinions Of states carrying all
opposition before it in the majority of
counties in some states-clcct to Office its
executive candidates in states heretofore
considered unyielding in party allegiance,
and gathering force and power in its prog
rcss, now actively engaged in establishing
its organizations over the whole country
among the farmers and laboring classes of
community.
1t seems to me that the time has come
for its discussion here among people who
are eminently of the agricultural and pro-
ducing classes Perhaps it has been con-
sidered by the superficial thinker that the
Order of Patrons Of Husbandry is all well
enough in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Min
nesota, Missouri, Kansas, etc, but that
there are NJ grievances among the farmers
and producing classes of Vermont that re-
quire righting and that here parties will
go on in the old ruts and Farmers Wars, "
Oranges and Patrons of Husbandry will
not be heard of nor talked of. Those who

We commend to the careful attention
and pcrusal of our readers, the first of n
series of very able and interesting letters
in reference TO the Farmers War, Equal
Taxation, Oranges and Patrons of lIus-
handry," assuring them that they will well
repay their thoughtful consideration. For
the present we have no comment to make
thereon, further than to say, that they are
written by one of the most eminent Of ON
citizens, Il man who has devoted years tc
the study of a portion of the subject OF
which he treats, and has, in the preparation
of these letters, made use of every ayaila-
BILE source of information, carefully exam

ments on both sides of the question consid-

say even this, as the letter, on its face
shows thought, study, scholarship an(
