Three cheers for the rising Star in the East

Many of these last are towns which have voted

exhausted their Constitutional right to send
Probably not over forty more will be chosen, and
a majority of these Wings. l76, the present
Wing number, was one-haIf the House last win
ter The Wing majority in the House can hardly
be less thar SO, and the Senate will add to 1t %
in Joint Ballot, when the vacancies in the higher
branch are filled in Convention of the two Houses.


The beauty of this result is the predcament in
which it places the Political AbolitIonsts. They
always like to appear perfectly Indifferent be-
tween the two great parties, but to vote so as to
do the Wings all possible harm. But now the
Wings have the Legislature, which is to choose
the Presidential Electors in case no ticket has an
absolute majority; so that eoe,y scattering o,

Clay. True, we do not need this, for the Wings
know they can give plurality, and are confident
of giving an absolute majority for their Electors;
but this makes Massachusetts safe for Mr.. Clay
beyond peradventure, unless Abolition should play
out its game by voting directly for the Van Bu-
rem Electors


VERMoNT.-Hon. JACOB CoLLAMER, the regular
Wing candidate, has, to moral certainty, been
elected to Congress from the Hid District in Yer
mont, which, at the State Election, failed to
make choice through disagreement Of the Wings.
We have returns from thirty -four towns, embrac-

following aggregates

Vermont on the Annexation OF Texas.


The following resolution was passed at the late
Convention Of the Wings of Vermont, and de-
serves consideration as part of the history Of
the times. In publishing it, however, we must
again remark that, while none can be more de-
terminedly opposed TO the Annexation of Texas
| than We no matter upon what speclous pretence
1t is urged, we cannot yet believe there is any
imminent or formidable danger of such move.
