Our nominee for Governor is an able law
yer, a sound legislator, patriotic and public
spirited citizen, an honest man, a man of the
people, believer in a Democratic form Of
government, thoroughly identified with YER
mont familiar with the needs and tastes and
wishes of our people, one who will fill with
dignity, capacity and fidelity the Office Of
chief magistrate Of our commonwealth.
The Democratic nominee is a man of aris-
tocratic tastes and sympathies-a believer in
the color line and white mans government
a believer in the natural and inborn right Of
the white Southerner to rue-to rule not only
all men of lighter colored skins, but the coun-
try at large "a man who in declaring that
tho submission of the colored citizens of the
South to enforced exclusion from their rights
demonstrates their unfitness for self-govern-
mcnt, has in effect declared that violence and
fraud carry their own justification if exerted
upon a weaker race a man who withheld
his sympathies from the loyal men of the
North, in their great struggle to prevent the
division and Mexcanizaton of our country,
and gave them to the rebels who inaugurated
civil war, filled the land with blood and
mourning, and caused the loss of half mil
lion lives and three billions of treasure,
in the suppression of their mad attempt TO
found a Southern empire, whose cornerstone
should be slavery.
In every necessary qualification for the Office
of Governor, Colonel Farnham is the peer of
Mr.. Phelps-in patriotism, loyalty to country
and to human rights, and sound political faith,
be is very much the superior of Mr.. Phelps.
The forty or fifty thousand Republicans who
will vote for Colonel Farnham on the 7th of
September will do so with Just pride in their
party and its standard bearer, and with the
clearest conviction that they are voting right;
and good many Democrats are going to
join them on the simple ground that as be-
tween patriotic defender of the flag and
sympathizer with treason, they will vote to
honor the former and not the latter.

GFrom letter TO the Utica, n. Y, Heraldl
Have the people forgot who and what kind
of man Mr.. English (the Democratic can
didate for Vice President) waS in 1856 at the
time that Bully Brooks brut0lly assaulted and
beat Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber
for making an anti-slavery speech Brooks,
member of the House of Representatives
from South Carolina, went into the Senate
Chamber in dasardly cowardly and sneak
ing manner and struck down Senator Sumner
at his desk for speaking his sentiments in the
Senate. The House of Representatives took
up the matter, appointed a committee, Mr..
Campbell, of Ohio, chairman, to investigate
the outrage, and the majority reported res
olution to the House to expel Bully Brooks
from that body. When the resolution was
brought before the House Mr.. English moved
q substitute, "that the House declares its dis
appreciation of the assault, and deems this a
fit occasion to express its disapprobation of
the use of language in debate personally of
fensive TO individual members of Congress or
States of the Union" That is to say, "We
do not approve the assault, but, Mr., Sumner,
you must not make speech that will offend
Bully Brooks or any of his kind any more. "
That substitute was voted down-yeas 35 !;
nays. ia. Then came the vote upon the
resolution to expel Bully Brooks from the
House for that brutal assault upon Mr. Sum
ncr with club, and Mr.. English voted
against the resolution. He voted to retain
that pro-slavery bully and rutfian in the
House of Representatives against the feel
ings and sentiments of every decent person
throughout the Northern States. That vote
retired Mr.. English from public life until the
copperhead Democracy galvanized him into
new existence as a candidate for Cice Presi-
dent

grandest paper since the Declaration of Inde-
pendence-every one of them was a Demo-
crat.
Every man that denounced the soldiers that
barred their bosoms to the storms Of shot and
shell for the honor of America aud the sa-
cred rights Of man, was Democrat.
Every man that wanted an uprising in the
North, that wanted 10 release the rebel pris-
oners that they might burn down the homes
of Union soldiers above the heads of their
wives and children, while the brave husbands,
the heroic fathers, were in the front fighting
for the honor of the old flag, every one of
them was a Democrat.
Every man that believed that this glorious
nation of ours is q confederacy, every man
that believed the old banner carried by our
fathers through the revolution, through the
war of 1912, carried by our brothers over the
plains Of Mexico, carried by our brothers
over the fields of the rebellion, simply stood
for an agreement, was Democrat.
Every man who believed that any State
could go out of the Union at its pleasure, ev-
cry man that believed the grand fabric of the
American government could be made to
crumble instantly into dust at the touch OF
treason, was Democrat.
Every man that helped to burn orphan
asylums in New York was a Democrat; ev.
evy man that tried to fire the city of New
York, though he knew that thousands would
perish, and knew that the great serpents OF
flame leaping from buildings would clutch
children from their mothers arms-eyery
wretch that did it was "a Democrat.
Recollect it Every man that tried tc
spread smallpox and yellow fever in the
North, as the instruments of civilized war
was Democrat.
Soldiers, every scar you have got on youi
bodies was given you by Democrat.
Every scar, every limb that is gone every
wound is souvenir of Democrat. l wan
you to recollect it.
Every man that was the enemy of humar
liberty, every man that wanted the fruit Of
the heroisn Of all ages to turn to ashes upon
the lps-every one was a Democrat. Col

What .ho south Expect. of Hancock

Robert Toombs to a friend in washngton,l
Il am as positive that Hancock will be
elected as l am that there is a God in the
heavens. You say that he is Yankee. Well,
know that and know too that his sword
has pierced the breast of many gallant man
in gray. But what are we to do? We can
not put in one OF our own men this time, and
have to take 'Yank.' This being the case,
let us take one who is less 'blue-bellied than
most of them. You may depend upon it, sir,
boys of the South will see that he does the
fair thing by them. In other words he will
run the machine to suit them or they will run
the thing themselves. They are not going to
be played with any longer. If you hear any
man say that Hancock cannot carry all of the
South you may put him down as d fool"

The Real Issues In Our state Cam
DaiEu,
lFrOm the Middlebury Register,

LFrom the Middlebury hegister.l
There are no real State issues between the
two parties. The cry of economy is a false
issue on the part of the Democrats, inasmuch
as the Republicans, far more than the Demo-
Gratis, are interested in a reduction of State
taxation The Executive has little to do with
bringing about reduced expenditures. The
legislature is the body which is responsible
for that matter and only by eleoting compe-
tent men to the legislature can the desired
economy be brought about. The only real
issues between the two parties in the State
are the grand questions which divide the par
ty in the nation. The question is whether
Vermonters shall record their ballots for ma
tional supremacy or States rights political
and social freedom, or party despotism and
ostracism for free and fair ballot, fairly
counted, or tissue-ballot frauds and terrorism

Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky, in the House
Of Representatives. April 5, 1871
For the first time i'll eighteen years the De-
mocracy is back in power in both branches
of Congress. We propose to celebrate her
return to power by wiping from the statute
book those degrading restrictions on freemen
(the election laws, and by striking away the
shackles which partisan legislation has i'm
posed. We do not intend to stop until we have
stricken the last vestge of your war meas
ures from the statute book-until we have an
untrnmmelled election and an unsupervised

On Aug. -, 1879, the postmaster-genera
issued an order directing an actual count to
be made ON the first seven days of November,
1879, and annually thereafter, of the number
of letters and postal cards and packages of
: miscellaneous printed matter and merchandise
deposited in all the post-offices and postal
cars, and the number of newspapers and peri
odicals mailed during that time to subscribers
and news agents, to be obtained from the
publishers The consolidation of the entire
returns of this count from all post-ofices in
the United States, and from the railway mail
service, has just been completed at the post
Office department The first week in Novem-
Der was chosen for the count because it was
thought the business of that week would be
a fair average upon which to estimate the an
nual work of the postal service. Multiplying
the results of the count by 80, it is estimated
that the domestic postal business of the last
fiscal year was as follows:
Letters in plain envelopes, 467, 7,o0O, ,566
"Card request" letters Se5, ,02A gao
"Oficial penalty" letterp, 85,85S,0o6
Total letters, ses, ,4ss, ,ST2
Postal cards. 2To,AA6Tl1
Newspapers to subscribers and news ags COS lT5o2I
Magazines to subscribers and agents. s,472 2T6
matter, sOo, ,sIS, ,IsO
Articles OF merchandise, a, ,63A, As6
Grand total, a,917,OCs,l9d
This count is of matter originating in this
country only, and does not include mails re-
ceived from foreign countries. More than so
per cent. of the entire matter mailed original
ed in the so principal cities of the United
States. These are the first trustworthy sta
tistics ever obtained of the number of letters,
etc, passing through the mails, and the count
to be made in November this year, and of each
subsequent year, will show exactly what the
post Office department is doing, and how much
its business is increasing with the growth of
the country.

Completion of the Celebrated Cologne
Cathedral.

The Cologne cathedral, begun about 1850,
was finished Saturday, August 18th, when the
last stone was inserted in the final of the sec
ond tower. 1t is oil feet long and 231 broad,
and its twin towers are oil feet high. 1t
originated when the religious enthusiasm of
the Roman Catholic church was at its height,
and enormous edifices were required for the
masses who thronged the altar Up to 1880
it remained in the same state as in the middle
ages, only the great chair and portion of the
towers having been built, the entire main part
of the structure-the nave transept and the
aisles-not having been begun. The original
plans were found, however, in the dusty arch
ives of the cathedral, giving every detail Of
its construction, so that the work could be
carried ON exactly as at first intended. In
1880 there was a great enthusiasm for the
monuments of the past throughout Germany,
and the work of completing the pile was tax
en- hold of with energy under King Frederick
William III of Prussia. 1t has been pushed
forward rapidly, and as much has been done
in the past 80 years as could have been done
in centuries of the middle ages. The greater
part of the building is really of modern con-
struction. One of the towers contains the
famous Kaiser Glocke (emperors bell), pre-
sented by Emperor William in Thanksgiving
for the victory over France. The work has
been done by large government appropria-
tions, private subscriptions, and by the Col
ogne cathedral building society, with frequent
drawings of grand lottery. The nave, aisles
and transept were cOnsecrated in 184S, and
the whole interior was thrown open in 1868.
