and home of the state rights doctrine.
Ninety-nine men out of hundred claimed
that each state was sovereign and indepen.
dent that the United States was simply a
partnership, and that the, general govern
ment had no right or power to interfere in
purely state matters. States, II was
claimed, must be left entirely to their own
control. The doctrine was carried even
further than II Is at the north Here we
are practically sovereign and independent,
and the general government never interferes
in our purely internal affairs. SO jealous
are we Of our rights, that we will not even
brook the interference of federal Office
holders in our state conventions, or town,
city or ward primary meeting. Without
holding TO the pernicious doctrine of state
rights, as it was held at the south, we are
able to care of ourselves and do take care
of ourselves, as we have always done.
With the south, all is changed. And the
change seems to have infected all classes

suicide at S.yantou.

A man named Henry Spur, hailing from
Stanbridge Ridge, p. O., committed suicide
by cutting his throat in the carriage house
of George Barney, at Swanton, on Tuesday
evening last. Spur made his appearance
in Swanton early Tuesday forenoon, and
protested to have come there to take the
cars to some unknown place in Massachu-
sets. The station agent told him that
there was no such place as the one he
named, when he left the depot and wan
dered about town during the remainder of
the day. He first attempted self-destruc-
ton early in the evening by the roadside
Retaining coat and vest, he rolled up both
shirt sleeves and with jack-knife cut sew
eral deep gashes in each arm. lie then
went into the carriage house, where he in
flicted another frightful cash in his throat
and could not have survived many minutes.
When his body was found life was entirely
extinct. The man gave unmistakable signs
of laboring under an alteration of mind,
and it is reported by some that he had been
Tilted by young lady whom he expected
to marry. His age was about IS years.

RUTLAND SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL H. 1874

He was possessed Of the same lofty pa
trotism, and in his intercourse with man
kind he exhibited the same honesty Of pur-
pose, and as politician or statesman dis
played the same unyielding integrity that
characterized the late Senator Sumner In
many other respects they differed widely.
While at Washington their sympathy as
honest statesmen and scholars drew them
into companionohip, and they became warm
personal friends.
Said Senator Sumner, when speaking of
Mr. Collamer-
lie, too, had his "lttle story" for illus
trntien, but in this respect he differed from
the late President Lincoln rs one of his
own Vermont mountains differs from an
outstretched and laughing prairie of the
West. In manner he was Socratc. The
curious observer, fond Of tracing resem-
blances, might fancy that in the form of
his head, and even of his person, he was
not unlike the received image of Socrates
while his coloqual powers might recall
Socrates again as he is pictured by the af-
fectoaate Zenophon, handling all who con-
versed with him just az he pleased. He had
also the same antique simplicity, ana doubt
not he would have followed the wise man
of Athens barefoot in the waters of the
Ilissus. l would not push this resemblance
too far, and use it only for illustration,
not for PARALLEL.
And yet as bring TO mind our departed
friend, he seems to assume this classical
figure. Call him, then, il you please, the
Green Mountain Socrates.
The great act Of July 18th, 1861, which
gave to the war for the suppression of the
rebellion its first congre ssiona sanction,
and invested the President with new pow.
crs, was drawn by him.
1t was he that set in motion the great ban
by which the rebel States were shut out from
the communion of the Union. This is a
landmark in our history, and might prop
perly be known by the name of its author,
Collamcr's Statute. r. H. :.

No, sr! and Why! Because you

Aud there's Washington, too;

he did if he'd been II temperance
