THE CONVENTION.

The result of the congressional con-
yention in this town on Wednesday as
sures the representation of the district
after the 4th of March next by solid,
substantial, dignified and able man-one
in whom every one of his constituents
will have confidence and of whom he
will have reason to be proud.
The credit of the wise choice made may
fairly De claimed in large measure by the
voters of Addison county. Here was the
real battle-ground of the campaign, and
the candidate who obtained majority of
the county was bound to win. The voters
here and hereabouts sized up the situa-
ton at an early date. so that there has
been no doubt as to the issue of the
contest for several weeks past. 1t is true
that Mr.. Batchelder had some warm sup
porters here, who fought well, everything
considered, but the weight of public
opinion was against them. Now that the
war is over, all hands are disposed to ac-
|cept the advice given by Judge Powers
in the closing paragraph of his admirable
speech.

public reward which is their rightful

to pay, then you may say the mission Of
your party is approaching its end. Its
mission ended? When that relic of bar
barism, that foul blot on the civilization
of the 10Th century, that cancer worm
that is eating at the very vitals of our re-
ligion, that stencil in the nostrils of in
telligent -Mormonism-shal

the mission of your party is nearing its

Anarchist who comes here from the Old
World to stir up strife among our people,
to overthrow our social institutions and
to undermine the foundations of the
government itself shall have been hang
ed upon the highest tree that grows in
our American forests, then you may say
the millennium has come.
No, Mr. Presidents the mission of our
party will never end until all the great
industrial, social and political problems
which concern the Dody polite have been
settled upon basis that will accomplish
the highest good to the greatest number,
and until the blessings of the most adj
vanced education, of the widest civil and
the broadest religious liberty shall
abound throughout the republic from the
East to the West and from the North to
the South. Let us, then, laying aside all
our differences, close up the ranks and
push on the column. and let the watch
word now and henceforth be, Forward.

AN EXCELLENT PLAN.

The Vermont Watchman, in calling at
fention to the approaching convention in
fhat county, says that Washington
bounty early adopted wholesome GUS
tom in respect of her senatorial elections.
Each Senator is given reelection, and
but one new Senator is chosen at each cleo
ion. Thus the county has always in the
Senate an experienced representative.
II is certainly "a wholesome custom" :"
which it is to be hoped may sooner or la
er obtain throughout the State, if the
present system of biennial sessions is re-
|ained. The State undoubtedly suffers
|nore from crude legislation now than it
bid suffer when the sessions were annual,
because, with the exception of Washing
Oh county, every county sends new
batch of Senators at every session and
bach town a fresh representative. The
consequence is that the time for adjourn
nent has almost arrived before any con-

THE REGISTER CONGRATULATED.
From the Burlington Free Press

We extend congratulations to the Mid
dlebury REGISTER over the result of the
first district convention yesterday. The
REGISTER from the first has stood for the
right, for clean politics and for Powers
in Addison county. That it made its in
fluence felt was evident when the re-
turns from the Addison county caucuses
were footed up and showed a grand total
of sixty out of the siXty-eight delegates
of the county for the REGISTERS candi-
date.
