The Constitution.

Editor Rutland Globe II have read at
tentivcly your structures on Col. joyce
speech. am pleased to have such an ar
ticle appear in THE GLOBE, as it is adapted
to direct the attention of your readers to
the constitution, and to elicit discussion
upon that subject. That is the reason
am pleased, and not because | adopt your
views for believe the colonel is right
1t is duty, which every citizen owes to
himself, and to his country, to acquaint
himself with the principles Of the constitu-
tion-it is the fundamental law of the land
upon which all other laws should be found
edit is the charter and palladium Of
American liberty-it is the test, or stand
ard, by which to try political principles,
and political action, by which to separate
the wheat from the tsres. Its the bond.
and the only bond, OF the Union, and that
which gives ms national character every
citizen should be deeply interested TO know
what 1t teaches. II 10 a lamentable fact
that large proportion of our freemen have
never given earnest attention to that great
instrument prepared, and adopted, by the
patriots and sages of the revolution. |
have often heard men flppantly dissenting
about the constitution, when | was con-
tidert they never read it. What folly to
solemply swear to support" an instrument
of which one is grossly ignorant. In my

and literary institutions. The disqusitions
on the constitution have been marked by
strange absurdities. recollect that when
the anti-slavery question was exciting very
deep interest, and the abolitionist went
forth to advocate the doctrine of freedom.
the most uproarious lion he met was the
constitution he would be saluted at al
most every step with the cry, compact"
guarantee, compromise" and "pledges."
1t seemed paradoxical in the extreme that
men who had adopted the principle of in
alenable rights, and pledged their "llves,
fortune and sacred honor" to sustain it,
should sit down and deliberately draft an
instrument that sanctioned slavery. then
examined the constitution with care, and
came to the conclusion that the design and
purpose of the trainers was fully indicated
in the preamble" and when rightly in
terpreted it was the death warrant of
slavery, and warranty deed of universal
liberty. If you can afford me space will
endeavor to give you my crude ideas of the
provisions, and limitations, of the constitu-
ton l may we'll adopt your modest re-
mark and say that 81 do not pretend to be
versed in constitutional, or legal, lore.

We have not taken much stock in the re-

for the democratic presidential nominal
but it begins to look good deal like it.
The Utica Observer, democratic, published

"We beg to inform these bogus news
"mongers, who are fond of substituting
"fancies for facts, that Governor Seymour
ais not a candidate for the presidency I;
'that under no circumstances would he &C.

an indistinct recollection of hearing consid-
cradle of the same kind of talk in 1868,
and an impression that, after all, Governor
Seymour still whispering he would "ne'er
'consent, consented" Such talk about
Seymour is little "too thin"

Perhaps we can aid them In deciding the
question, and In manner, too. that will
be satisfactory to both. In October 1775,
there were seventeen regiments of Albany
county militia" of which the fourteenth
regiment was in the "Hoosack and Schagh-
" tekocke district" John Knickerbacker
was commissioned colonel of this four
teenth regiment October 20, 1915. Some
time in 1775, four regiments or bsttallons
were raised in New York for continental
service, and designated as the :" New York
" line y; and in return made, February
29, l77G, of "list of officers Of the four
4" regiments raised in New York" NOW In
" Canada as they rank" we find James
Clinton colonel, and Peter Yates of AL
bany lieutenant colonel-and this regiment
is styled the ALBANY regiment" In a
later note, appended to the list, date not
given, we find Clinton and Yates put down
as "erascd from the above list either on
" account of promotion, resignation or
"death." Clinton was promoted and
made brigadier general August o, 177G
and that Yates was, subsequently,. full
colonel we know for we find him, Sat
" Schatecock," assisting the then sheriff of
Albany, and sending out spies from his
regiment to watch the movements of the
" Bennington rioters" and it is possible
that he gave up the spying business long
enough TO command his regiment of the
" line at Saltwater, while Kuickerbacker
commanded the regiment of militia or
Yates may have received his promotion by
being transferred TO the mlitia-and such,
probably,was the case-and each may have
commanded militia regiments at Saltwater.

but by breaking Gods laws man has
brought disease upon himself. The worst
of these are throat and lung difficulties.
Our climate is very ehangeable, and of
course every one is more or less liable to
colds, coughs and throat difficulties, which,
If not attended to at once, very often prove
serious and hasten their victims to the
grave. Now, it stands us in hand to guard
against these diseases. When God made
man he breathed into his nostrils, not his
mouth, the breath of life, intended he
should always breathe So How is it to-
day. Every person who is troubled with
these diseases breathes through his mouth.
Is 1t any wonder then that we have so
much catarrh and throat and lung difficult
ties. There is nothing better for throat
and lung difficulties than Kendall's Pee
toral Balsam. Now, if any of you have
weak lungs, coughs, colds, or any dieease
of the throat and lungs, il you will stop
breathing through your mouth and take
Kcndall's Pcctoral Balsam, yon will soon
be healthy and happy. Try it. Only so
cents per bottle. Sold by all dealers in

in some city where there is straight-out

The Centennial.

Hditor Ruttdnd Globe The proposition

for to secure proper representation Of
Vermont and Vermont interests at Phila-

There is of course great regret expressed
here at the failure of the governor TO call

is also great confidence felt that after all
His Excellency may be right. We here
know of only one side of the case, and are
bound to presume that there is another, in
asmuch as we are aware that Gov. Peck is
favorably disposed to a state appropriation
himself. In default OF this, he is reported
as willing to subscribe $500 to fund to
secure representation at the centennial.

which distinguishes them, taken good care
of that. They will be represented there
whether their state as such is or not. They
ask no orders of Vermont, no aid from her
