An item is going around the press of the
State, credited to the correspondence of the
New York Tribune, stating that the record
of Vermont, in its opposition to Democracy,
is .'unbroken''; that sin 1928, it gave John
Quincy Adams three votes to one cast for
Andrew Jackson; and that "it supported
Clay In 1884" The record of Vermont,
saws the Rutland Globe, may be unbroken.
but the statement quoted above is incorrect.
In 1928, Vermont gave John Quincy Adams
seven votes, Instead Of three, being her entire
electoral vote. In 1924, too, its entire elec-
toral vote Of seven was given to Mr.. Adams,
but was also given to John Z. Calhoun, Of
South Carolina. Ter Vice-President. In 1892,
instead Of supporting Clay, it gave its cleo
toral vote, seven. to the anti Masonic csndi-
dates-W illism Writ and Amos Elmaber.
Since that time, its electoral vote has always
been given to the Wing or Republican can
diiates; and with the exception Of Massa-
chssetts, is the only State in the Union
which hes, for &c many ysas. votsd con-
tinuously in the aams way.

VERMONT ELEcTIoN.-It the Democratic
editors wish to figure fairly-that is to say,
80 as not to cheat themselves nor anybody
elsc-they must begin fairly. For example !;
The Republican party was formed in 1854,
and the first real trial of the strength of the
two now existing parties was in September
of that year. From that date, through Bu-
ehanans administration, the war, and the
process OF reconstruction, the times were
adverse to the Democrats. But now these
adverse circumstances are over the Demo-
cratic party has started again, as it has pro-
claimed, on the old basis of a United South"
in its favor, and with the old and powerful
temtation to control the country by playing
the fool to united South. The Democratic
party of to-day is therefore the party of
1854. having the same policy aad appealing
to its followers by the same motives. In
Vermont it has the same leaders, they fight
its battles in the same old way, and they
fight against the samo old Republican party.
Now how stand the figures in 1854 and
1876? Which of the two parties stand the
best at the end of twenty-five years? 10
1876 the Republican vote is forty-iour thou
sand seven hundred and thirty-eight; in
1854 it was twenty-eight thousand one hun
dred and sixteen-gain sixteen thousand six
hundred and twenty-five, or more than fifty
nine per cent. Of the vote Of 1854. In 1876
the Democratic vote is twenty thousand
eigAt hundred and seventy-six, and in 1854
it was fifteen thousand two hundred and
ninety-seven-gain, five thousand five hum
dred and seventy mine, or less than thirty
eight per cent. of the vote in 1854. A very
fair show for our side +; and Figures will

TuK Springfield Republican shows that
the gains made BY the Democrats in Yer
mont were in the cities and towns of Bur
lington, Rutland, St. Adams, Rrattleboro,
Bennington, St Johpsbury, etc. This same
result is seen in every State in the Union.
1t is only on the pave and in the slums,
where blear-eyed corner groceries stand as
sentinels oi Democracy-where crime, mis-
cry, and fighting whiskey predominate-
that Democracy makes gains. Sidney Smith
once said that an lrishman was IA potato-eat-
ing machine for manufacturing babies. In
this country, our Hibernian fellow-citizens
are the most prolific manufacturers of Dem
ocratic voters. The figures show this in
every city and manufacturing town where
an Irish population resides. But out on the
grass, over the waving fields of grain, where
church spires point to heaven, and school
houses and cheerful white cottages, with
barns bursting with plenty, give evidence
of order and prosperity. there is where you
can count upon Republican msjorities.
