A LETTER from prominent Dem
ocrat, who has spent the last four
months travelling in the South, says :
"DemOcrat as l am and have always
been, am candid in my belief that
if the Democratic party succeeds in
the next election, under the rebel
influences that have attained in the
present Congress, it will be one of
the greatest disasters to the gener-
al prosperity of the country. l
have spent my weeks among the
people of four States, and the only
real lusty feeling l have found has
been hatred for loyal Northern
man, and desire to get even by
forcing payment for the war losses
in property and slaves. You may
count me out of the campaign of
1876, save an independent voter
voting for the good Of the country at
large"

The unwilling of the statue OF
President Lincoln in the city OF
Washington on the 14th OF April,
1876, erected to his memory by the
colored people of this country, shows
that gratitude still glows in the bo'
som of men and women, who though
of darker skin belong to the great
family of man. Eleven years had
passed away since he fell by the bull
let of an assassin; and if mon
arch would find it difficult to stand
well with his subjects when exposed
to the fierce light that beats upon a
throne, a Republican President has
nothing to fear who was not afraid
to do his duty as man and pat
riot.
1t was a graceful and pleasing
manner of recalling to mind one OF
the purest and most honored of the
Presidents of the United States.
He was a patriot by right of birth,
and a Republican by conviction
The principles of the party that call
ed him to occupy the Executive
Chair ho felt by intuition were those
only that can hold the Republic
abreast of the time, to give it the
stability it needs and its proper rank
II the family of nations. AS the Oh
fetal head of the Nation, he was
an example Of political benevolence
and political virtue; and all his eff
forts were directed, after the pre-
servation of the Union, to heal the
wounds of war, aud bring the larg-
est good to the country out OF the
enormous evil which had been over
come by the sword. Mr.. Lincoln
felt that the Republic could not
maintain itself while one half was
slave and the other half free. in
the emancipation of the blacks he
knew that he wiped out the cause
of the war, making the Republic
stronger by that act of justice.
The remembrance of Mr.. Lincoln
has revived the old spirit in the
hearts of Republicans. 1t has also
directed attention to the disloyalty
prevalent at the South. And III
view of the disloyal character of a
Confederate Congress the people
will show that they will not trust
the Democratic party North or
South, for once in power it would
again commence it's old efforts tn
destroy tho Union in the interest OF
Southern isolation.

Town and County Celebrations of the
Centennial.

Governor Peck has received from
the department of state, at Wash
ington, the following communica
ton:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1876.
TO HIS EaceNency, the Gorern0r Of Me
State Of Vermont:
SIR: l have the honor to enclose
herewith, for your information, a copy
of Joint resolution OF the Senate and
House of Representatives, approved by
the President on the 18th of March last
recommending to the people of the Uni
ted States the adoption of measures to
obtain record of the progress of our in
stitutons, during the first century OF
their existence.
1t has been deemed proper to bring the
joint resolution in question to the notice
of the Governors Of the several States.
] have the honor to be your excellen-
cy's obedient servant,
JOHN l.. CADwALDER,
Acting Secretary.
The resolution thus enclosed, is
as follows:
Joint resolution on the celebration of the
centennial in the several counties and
towns.
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That
it be, and is hereby recommended by the
Senate and House of Representatives to
tha Ia of hn t,t That tl,,,
assemble in their several counties or
towns on the approaching centennial an
niversary of our national independence,
and that they cause to have delivered
on such day an historical sketch of said
county or town from its formation, and
that copy of said sketch may be filed in
print or manuscript at the clerks Office
of said county, and an additional copy
in print or manuscript be filed in the Of
flee of the Librarian of Congress, to the
intent that a complete record may thus
be obtained of the progress of our insti-
tutions during the first century of their
existence.
Approved March 10, 1876.
Governor Peck, deeming that this
matter can best be brought to the
attention of the PEOPLE OF the State
through the public prss, would be
glad TO have them generally copied
by the Vermont newspapers, with
such observations as they consider
the subject to demand.
The propriety of the general oh.
servance of Independence Day this
year, and of connecting with every
such celebration a historical dis.
course, devoted to the local history
Of the town or county, is so obvious
that the recommendation of Con
gress cannot need an added word.
1t is already high time that the
towns were selecting their Fourth
OF July historians. Under the in
spiration of the year it cannot be
difficult TO find worthy orators.
Their subjects are thus selected for
them. Their discourses will have
permanent record, in the. state and
national capital; and the aggregate
result will be an immense addition
to the archives of the government,
OF the utmost value to future histo-
rians and the generations yet to
come. Will not the towns take i'm
mediate actiOns in the matter p
