In this city there are a score of instan-

vote the Democratic ticket, breaking
loose from the letters of worn out and
false party, who live on and through
the traditions of the Past, and Joining
the young and vigorous party of Pro-
gress and Equal Rights. They find no
sympathy in the dry-as-dust issues
which have nothing to do with the liv-
ing, breathing principles of of the great
national party of the Union. The par
ty which abolished Slavery, proclaimed
the Equality of the race --maintained
the Union of the States, and defended
it from traitors, is the party which now

the young, hopeful and generous lovers

inform the Democratic organs that have

Vermont, first o. the New England
States, has spoken and the result j., that
more pronouncedlv than ever she de-
clares for the Republican party. Her
Governor. Congressman, Representa-
tives are elected by overwhelming ma
jorities.
This grand triumph of the true Repub-
licans of Vermont must aud triH have a
cheering effect on the party in Maine.
The same canses which operated there.

Never have the Democrats contested
so desperately the Green Mountain
State as this year, hoping to reduce it,

work shows they have met total defeat.

poncnts will soon find their last ditch.
