RETURNS OIL recent election in Penn
sylyanIa under the "lOcal option" law,
embracing the whole State except Phila'
deIphia and Potter counties, show a ma
Iority Of 1850 Tor license. Philadelphia
will vote In October. Potter voted no
license several years ago. The majority
in the whole State against prohibition in
1854 was over 5000; from which it seems
the temperance strength in nine years has
fallen OF about seventeen thousand.

The New Party Movement.

Ohip seems to he the theater for new
party movements. The Liberal Republi.
eau abortion. ii rot conceived. was Mt
least brought iuttn, npoI tho fertile soil
of the Buckeye State. Now new
movement has originated there. 1t has
less promising beginning than its pre-
dccessor, which, bsuilipg though it was,
received the patronizing pat of the for
midable Democratic party. The nourish.
ment which they administered to
stimulate its growth into the necessary
proportions for the purposes for which
they wanted it, namely, TO ride into pow.
err again, was altogether too strong for its
puny constitution and their embrace was
its fatality. This new movement made
its debut upon the public stage last We'd
nesday 10 the form Of Convention at
Columbus for the nomination Of State Of
ticers. The number of delegates was
comparatively small, many whole coun-
ties not being represented. There was a
scarcity Of acknowledged leaders, but few
men who had attained reputation being
present The work they performed was
well enough, perhaps, but lacked one i'm
portant element of success. They made
to the country no representation OF them
selves or their work which justilies their
existence as a separate party. Their
candidates arc said to be well enough,
their platform is Of that uniform milk and
water goodness which characterizes all
platforms, and which signifies just moth
ing, and their organization now promises
nothing but failure, so far as confidence
and support are concerned. The lessons
of the last campaign, and all former re-
organizations of parties, ought to teach
us, however, that no party can commence
with halo of glory about it, or have
hope Of coming into power with single
bound, or even with an assured eventual
success.
Therefore, as the leaders of the Dem
ocracy, and We think the large majority
of the rank and file OF that party wholly
reject this new anti.Republican move.
ment, there is at least possibility that
this aedgling will no. be strangled in its
infancy, by the embraces of corrupt
party or very much .ettered by the influx
of broken down politicians who hope by
this means to recover their lost preced-
ence in the old parties.
But while we do not expect much Of
this, or any other new party movement
at present, We must accept the fact that
they teach lesson worthy of being learn
cd They show feeling of dissatisfac.
ton with the present condition of parties
which finds a ro.ccho of sympathy all
over the country.
The only question for every honest
voter and patriot is, to consider in what
way he can best effect the reforms he
feels are needed. 1t seems to US clear
enough that none of the new movement:
have as yet made any record or uttered
any promise, or in any way justified con
6dence in their power, and generally il
their inclination to promote the reform.
We desire. So far as We can see, it is The
duty Of every honest Republican to stay
with and seek to work out the needed re
forms through the party organization

South Cornwall.


Mr.. EDITOR Il wish to call your at.
tention, and that of the public, TO the
scurrilous article of your Cornwall cor
respondent who signed himsolf Observer,
and which appeared in your issue of the
ODD inst. Not SO much on account Of the
intrinsic importance of the article itself,
as its manifest evil tendency, having evil
IDENTIFY been inspired by personal hatred,
and being link in chain of criminal
acts calculated to instigate to the com.
mission Of crime, and eliminate in in.
dividual and public disgrace.
IF the example set by your correspon.
dent in the publication Of that article,
should be followed by the citizens of any
community, it would at once become a
modern pandemonium from which every
respectable citiz would wish to fee
If all the Irregularities and petty quar-.
rels which occur in a'y community,
should as in this case be paraded with
due cxOggeration before the public by
some mischief making observer, how ter.
rible would be the result. Sons would
be arrayed against fathers, and fathers
against sons. What passions would it
not excite what discord rancorous do.
nestle and neighoo.hood hatreds would
it not generate What crimes would it
not instigate, and what public disgrace
and shame would it not bring upon that
community.
But need not dwell upon this feature
of your correspondents article. | have
stated that il is link in chain Of events
which may, if they have not already,
eliminate in the commission of crime,
and is for this reason matter of vital
importance. If crime mas or may result
from such irritating acts as the one in
question, or those to which shall allude,

guitless in the matter2
Justice demands that both parties
should be heard in such controversies,
especially when Que has been repeatedly
assailed through the public prints and |
propose at this time to look upon the pic.

pendent has presented.
Tho object of your correspondents

the community. A man Of naturally
high temper, and claimed to be of a
naturally vicious disposition by bis enc
mics. The first or both of which, have
been intensified by ruiuously defective
education.
Now, if there is any class in the CON-
munity with whom we should deal IN ore
fairly and honorably than oil others, it is
this class. What it such u man does

Mr.. EDITOR The origin of human
life is undoubtedly germ elnanating from
the Deity, or as the bible expresses it,
breath from the Almighty. A something
as inextinguishabe as the superior, which
will never cease to exist. That is the in.
tellcctual or life principle. Human un.
Outstanding can do US no better than to
associate everything in nature, even in al.
luding to the electrical currents of the at.
mosphero with what we revere as God.
Our existence is no more marvellous to
the rejecting mind, than the minutest in
sect that flies or crawls. We have rea.
soning faculties to guide u.s. They have
an iDcomprehensible instinct to protect
themselves. When mankind suffer their
vision to be obstructed by malignant pas.

spects inferior 70 the animal creation.
The laws Of attraction and rerulsion are

The laws Of nature are immutablc, and
when disregarded or trampled upon, re-
suit in complete disorganization. AS

from the earths surface, often causes ter.

intuition. This is affinity of soul. Ii
is a plausible and not inappropriate theory
to suppose that this electrical principle

The Soldiers Re-UnIon.

The reunion Of soldiers at Rutland,
opens tomorrow. The most extensive
local arrangements have been made for the
reception Of all the veterans who repre-
sented Vermont in tho wor of tho Rebel
lion, and all other soldiers in the late war,
who are now living within the state. Tents
have been provided, commissary stores,
except whiskey, secured within available
distance for such as prefer to purchase
rather than carry rations, and nothing
will be wanting upon the spot to make an
encampment fully equipped for the COM
fort Of the soldiers, except tent furniture
aud blankets, which all are expected to
carry with them.
The time will be mostly devoted to
visiting, telling the old stories, singing
the old songs, recounting the pleasant ex.
periences of life in camp when down in
Dixie" and such other amusements as
the old veterans well know how to afford
themselves and their friends.
But to make the reunion a complete
entertainment for all, brief programme
Of exercises has been prepared. There
will be eloquent addresses from Generals
Devons, Doubleday, Hawley and others, a
grand review without arms and equip
ments, by the Governor, music by ali the
best bands in the state, a torchight pro.
cession Thursday evening, &c, But there
will be no drills, no fatigue work, no pc.
lice duty, no restraint, except that voun-
tary restraint which the citizen soldiery
Of u free Republic know how to, and do
habitually exercise over themselves
One Of the pleasantest features Of the
occasion, is the fact that all are upon
level the Major General has no proceed
ence over the private. The Corporal is
on full equality with his Colonel. The
organization, in fact, is nothing but vol.
untary association for the purpose of pro.
noting order and harmony without which
the pleasure Of the occasion would be sad
ly marred. And while all will undoubt.
edly yield all necessary obedience to the
constituted authorities for the occasion,
for the purpose of cooperating in the
promotion OF order, at the same time, ev-
eryone will continue to exercise his usual
privilege as citizen of the Republic, to
consider himself as good as his neighbor,
and little better"
Among the bands that have already
been announced are the following:
Sherman Band, Winooski.
Queen City, Burlington
The Waits6eld Band.
The Mortified Band.
The Woodstock Band.
The Bradford Band,
The Brattleboro Band.
West Randolph Band.
Altimont Band, Ludlow
Bennington Band
Bristol Bard
Fairhaven Band.
The open air concerts will, Of course be
magnificent, and afford a sight we may
not often see. To the soldier of the late
War this will be the grandest celebration
of their lives, and none should fail to at.
tend, and join with some organization, and
20 help swell the maguifcence of the oc,
casion.
