On the 10th of August last the Repub,i
cans OF this and the adjacent towns, conye-
ned to commemorate the anniversary of
the Battle of Bennington and appointed a
committee to draft an address to Major-Ge-
neral STARK, who commanded the Patri-

tee have politely communicated to us their
Address, with the Answer received from
Gen. STARK-which We presume will be
very acceptable to orr readers.
Bennington, .fugust 16. 1906.
DEAR SiR,-By directions of a numerous
and respectable BODY of Republican citizens
OF this and the adjoining towns, convened
for the purpose of commemorative the qlo-
rlons battle fought on the 18th of August.
1875, Commonly called the Pennington bat
tie, the Undersigned in their behalf are
instructed To inform YOU of the grateful
feelings they entertain for your person
that they duly appreciate the eminent and
important services you have rendered your
country, and more especially the people of
TINS vicinity on this auspicions day.
ihey ever have, and still consider the
brilliant success on That day achieved, bv
the wisdom of your plans, and the prompt
ness OF their executions, to have been a IA
tai check to the successes of Gen. Burroyne.
and which shortly after produced the sur
render ofhs whole army to the American
troops.
The few officers and soldiers, vet liv;nr,
who were Immediately under your com.
mand, still hail you as their fortunate and
brave general-while those who were then
children, or unborn, hail YOU as the patriot
ct your country, and acknowledge the bles-
sings they enjoy from the prosperity of your
arms.
The citizens composing this meeting are
highly sratitied when they learn through
the channel ofthe newspapers, that YOU still
retain your affection and first love for vour
country-while many of your compatriots
in their opinion, have apostatsed and for
gotten the important object OF the Ameri-
can revolution.
You have their fervent prayers that YOUR
days may prolonged....not doubling when
they shall end) that posterity will hold YOU
IN honorable remembrance.
We tender you, venerable General, our
warmest affection and esteem.

be denied, nor win il be pretended that the
states have not laws to enforce obedience
to this writ---If therefore You pass n law
on this subject, it will, if il has any effect,
control the laws of the several states---and
In proportion as it has this effect, it weak
ems the respective state authorities, and
tends 10 consolidate their powers in the
general government. would warn gentle
men against adopting measure that would
have this effect. the state sovereiynties
ought TO be preserved .nviolate, * should
not be encroached upon by this house le-
s'slaiing on subjects that properly belong
To the state authorities. The gentleman
from Vermont, (Mr. Elliot) has informed
us that he is the champion of the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Campbell said, he did not wish
to assume himself, excessively. such a cha
racter. 1t was, however, to be hoped the
constitution would have many supporters as
SeatoxS and as c5le as the gentleman from
Vermont. lie should be always willing to
support the constitution and laws of his
country, as far as il was in his power, when
the occasion required it-a-and he presum-
cd every man in that house was bound on
oath TO preserve that instrument inviolate.
lie never would however, sound the tocsin
OF alarm with regard to the violation of the
that might take place. This could have no
other effect than to disturb the public mind
unnecessarily and might, i'll the present
instance make an impression unfavorable
to some OF those concerned in the transac-
:ion which occas:oned this discussions
there are other reasons also, said Mr..
Campbell, that operate with me to oppose
the measure before the house---Thc case
Us at this moment snb JUDGE. This is, to
my mind, serious objection to acting on il
here---we ought to permit the laws to take
their due course without expressing anv
opinion on the subjcctin thi- house. We shall
probably find they are sufficient to afford
a complete remedy in every case where a
real injury has been sustained. It is also
now near the close of the session---tlrere
are many other important subjects before
the house, that require to be acted upon.
and IT would be next to impossible, that
this subject, if gene into, could receive that
deliberate investigation which it's impor-
lance would demand. For these reasons
and because / consider the measure at this
time unnecessary and useless, shall vote
against referring the resolution to a select
committee.

OeTryfeId, Sent. 10, 1907.
GFNTLEMEE,
lhave received your affectionate address
OF the 10th Of August, and while it reviyes
the remembrance of perilous and difficult
umes' !. also brings to my recollection a
numerous and respected band of faithful
friends in the state of Vermont, and parti-
cularlyin Bennington and its vicinity. The
battle OF the 10th of August, mi, whiS1
terminated so favorabiy for Vermont, and
so honorably for the troops who were en-
gagged in 1t, was more the effect Of prompt
execution, than Of any previous plan. When
consider that three detachments of un-
disciplined troops, and strangers to battle,
drawn from various quarters Of Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, and Vermont,
should be ordered to attac' an enemy Of
veteran European soldiers, strongly forti6-
cd IN chosen encampment that each de-
tachmcnt (aftcr marching several miles)
should arrive at the particular place as
signed to 1t, almost at the same instant and
that each should commence a successful
attack, and in n short time Join OF the enc
mics parade is more proper to be ascribed
10 experimenting power than to any hui
man calculations. In fact the bravery Of
Inc troops let but little for their comman-
der, who had hardly time to mount the hill
before they were crowned with victory.

FROM THE NArIoNAL1NrrLLIcrxe Err.


The enemies of the administration ara
lndustriously engaged in ehdeavorng to
produce two effects
FirSf, TO excite the public Indignation
against general Wilkinson on account of
the arrests made by him at New Orleans.
And Secondly, to produce the impressi-
on that these acts are sanctioned by the ad-
ministration.
1t is not our purpose, at present, to enter
into an argument on the sc two points. But
as 1t is highly desirable that the people.
VINO IN TINS country are the ultimate ludg-
es OF every political question, should have a,
much light shed on this subject as circum-
stances allow, we recommend the perusal
OF FInd!ey's history of the PENNSYLVANIA
instruction Of 1874.
Which viii shew---
That the military invasion Of civil now
er, OF which the federalists so vcbemcntlv
complained, were committed on lhot occa-
sion as well as recently.
That they were committed during the
administration of general Wa8hington.
That there were many of them commit
ted II not by his authority, by an army un.
der his command.
That he deprived no officer OF his com.
hitting them
49, III VIZ IOl even CGllSulC Inen.
That they were principally committed
at the direction of Alexander Hamilton.
an eminent lawyer, who could not, as Will
kinson perhaps to a certain extent might.
plead ignorance of the law iniustificatioD,
That they were committed at places in
comparaby freer from danger than that
appiehended at New Orleans.
That the blood OF innocent unoAendinr
men was split
That several ofthe violations oflaw took
place, although a federal Judge was present
with. the army, whowas above all suspicion
o. being concerned in the insurrection.
That the privilege OF the writ Gfhabeas
corpus was actually suspended, not merely
while the accused was in his passage from
one place to another, but for months After
wards at the then seat OF the genrai goyern-
ment.
These circumstances are not aGduced az
proofs either of the CORRECTNESS of the pro-
ceedings in the inSurrectiun of 1894, or of
the recent proceedings at New Orleans
but to shew, that on emergencies Of immi-
nent peril, real or lpprehended, the regu-
lar course ct justice IS frequently obstruct-
ed or abandoned; and also to shew that
measures were pursued under general
Washington, the purity Of whose motives
are not our STONED, which infrineer the
civil authority TO a much greater extent
than those taken by Wilkinson.
