whether they are sutors or attorneys, are
apt to believe that they are in the right,
and do not take over kindly an adverse de-
especially when the judges refuse
TO talk over cases after they have been de-
cided. We do not say it is so in this case
and have no reason to believe that 1t is, for
we do not know that Judge Peck ever tried
a case in Windham county or decided
case in which any of the younger members
of the bar Of that county were interested.
But ne do kao,c that many lawyers and
others, in other parts of the state, are bit
terly opposed to him for these very reasons.
Look at the cause of this pposition--what
is it? Nothing more or less than because
he is honest, upright, and perfectly IA
miliar with our constitution, laws and
legislation from the foundation of the
government down to and including those
of "tbe present generation, and would not
do gthcr than that which was right, Just
AID legal. Is there anything but clap-trap in
this talk of ''having one belonging to the
present generation for our next GOVERNOR"
We should never favor or vote for n young
man of homage or of ncapacity, or an old
man IN his dotage for governor. We would
not exclude any man possessed OF the re-
quisitc qualifications, should he happen to
be forty-fvc, fifty, sixty, seventy or sew
enly-fve years old. What we desire and
what we believe the people demand, is a
man Of tried integrity, of unspotted repu-
tation, of good habits, of proper dignity,
one who understands the history and work
iugs, of our constitution, laws, legislation
and Institutions, knows their detects, of in
teligcnce enough, at least, to understand
the principles Of the English language, and
who will not afiiX his signature to n bill
which conflicts with the organic law of the
state or nation or would, in his Judgment
prove detrimental to the interests of the
whole people. 4 man that possesses all of
these qualifications belongs to "the present
generation" he he forty or sevcnty-fye.
We know that Judge Peck is in the full
possession Of nil his faculties, that there is
not the least possible sign of his 'breaking
down" aAd that he possesses each and
every qualification we have mentioned
and that is enough for us. 1t may be n
pleasant task for these men of the so-callcd
'thc present generation" to slur Judge
Peek but whether he is nominated or not,
we should prefer to stand in his position
rather than in theirs.

Esurrc ACADEMY.

The anniversary exercises of Barre acad-
envy were held this week, and were of I'M
usual interest The baccalaurcate sermon
was preached TO the graduating class on
Sunday last by Rev. Leonard Tenncy, pas
tor of the Congregational church, from
Romans 1:14, and was repetc with good
advice, giving them an idea that they were
debtors to God and that by practcing hui
mlity, integrity, faith and perseverance
they might in some degree repay the bless
ings He was daily bcstowing upon them.
The rhetorical exercises of the junior
class, numbering fourteen, were held at
the Congregational church on Monday
evening and were of much interest. On
Tuesday afternoon an Grafton was delivered
before the associated alumni by one of
their number, Rev. J. Jay Lewis, pastor of
the Broadway Uniyersalst church, Boston.
1t was full of sound, practical sense and
universally considered an able production.
On the same afternoon, Mr.. J. b. Richard
son of Vcrshire, a senior of Dartmouth
college, gave very well-timed address to
the class Of 1870, of which he was Il mem
Der. In the evening, Prof. Sanborn Of
Dartmouth college addressed the social
fraternity of the academy.
On Wednesday afternoon the graduating
class, seventeen in numbcr-elevcn gentle
men and six ladies-gaye their oratons and
essays, before very large and apprecative
audience. All were of a high order, and a
better class has never before graduated at
this academy.
On the whole, the friends Of Barre
Academy may well feel proud of this
institution, under IFS veteran teacher and
principal, j. s. Spaulding, LID.

for argument or clap-trap We must CON
TESS TO the stupidity of being unable to see
any argument in it-but we think we do
see, it may be only exposing our stupidity
again, good deal of clap-trap about it.
The honor, not Of its origin but Of its re-
cent introduction into our politics, must be
according to a distinguished young man,
presumably of "the present generation"
lawyer two years representative from
one of the towns in the southeastern por-
ton of Vermont, and who is understood to
have no particular objections to taking
higher seat in the synagogue. He has
written to one Vermont newspaper, at
least-we don't know how many more
and to the Springfield, Massachusetts, Re
pH5lican, in substance, that he twas in
" favor Of having some one belonging to
- the present generation for our next gov
- ernor He was in Rutland,
during the present week, and several
times repeated nearly the same
identical language and is, also, credited
with its uLterance at numerous other times
and places. The question then recurs
what is the ''present generation. An or
binary generation" is usually placed at
from thirty to thirty-flye years but we
hardly think that even if the United States
or the state of Vermont were willing TO ac-
cept volunteers between the ages Of eigh-
teen and thirty-fvc, they would hardly Sc
ect a governor or President between
those ages-mOreover the constitution pro
hibits the election Of President or Vice
President until after they have attained tho
age of thrty-fiye years. We apprehend
however, that this is not the 'prcsent gene
ration" referred to because il would ex
clude the gentleman himself, should hC
now or hereafter have any aspirations gov
ernorward. If by the "present genera
ton he means the next one thereafter
say from thirty-five to seventy, he not only
includes himself but that honored either
of the state whom he desires to exclude.
Seriously, however, we apprehend tina
the reiterated statement of taking our mex
governor from 'the present generation i
only intended as a slur on Judge Peck
