From the bennington Banner.l
senator EdmUuds, SpcccIs.

No person that has thus far escaped in
cremation exceeds us in fervent and lofty
estimation of the transcendent abilities of
our most excellent Senator Edmunds. His
extensive, accurate and immense knowl-
edge of national affairs and necessities
commands our unlimited admiration. His
eloquent and persuasive style of argument,
his convincing, incisive Though sometimes
austerc) and (almosU always Astounding
supply of rhetoric, such only as intuitive
genius and lifelong study can prompt, fur
nish or account for, challenge our admira-
ton and lack nothing of our homage.
Therefore. for the second time since du-
bious health and unreliable respiration
have made it an impossibiity, or an
aiilicton accompanied with its Ger
tain penalty, for us to sit in a close or
crowded room, or ia any quiet and atten-
tive manner listen to lecture, address or
sermon, we made an uncertain effort to try
and hear the speech of our favoritc senator,
which VIC had 50 gladly heard announced
as TO u.s. the most interesting part OF the
proceedings of the late republican state
