THURSDAY MORNING, ..Novem6er 81.

Vermont,, under the misrule of mobocracy.
Nocturnal caucusses arc held, in which every
measure to be adopted is decided on. The
proceeding in one ofEthcse Caucusses has
been made public by some of the initiated,
who had sufficient sense of decency remaining,
to be Disguised with the folly and wickedness
of democratic leaders. 1t was attended by one
of their senator's and one of their representa-
tiyes in Congress, the latter of whom, by the
way, resides in New-Yo Their whole de-
alterations turned upon devising ways and
means to eject all Federalists from Office; and
particular anxiety is manifested to obtain, in
all instances, democratic Jurymen. From this
it might be inferred that the consciences OF
these exclusive republicans are giving them
pretty solemn checks for past misdemeanors,
or that they have schemes in agitation by
which the state is to be Bidwellized or Gan
netted with iinpunity: Perhaps, too, the bu-
siness of persecution is not overlooked. AT
all events, if their plans succeed, the people
of Vermont will have fair specimen of de-
mocratic government and if they are not past
recovery, year or two of successful. expe-
riment" in that way will be amply sufficient to
bring them to their senses
The Editor of Democratic paper in Phi
ladelphia, not at all pleased witlrthe late ami
cable arrangement between the American and
British governments, wishes to make the pub
: lie believe thai it is mere trap to ensnare us.
For this purpose he pretends that letters OF a
late date have been received from Liverpool,
in which the Prince Regent is represented as
not being favorsbly disposed towards this coun-
try. The Baltimore Wing evinces the same
disposition with his fellow -iaborer at Philadel-
phia. In this awkward way do thee emf
grants discover their bitter and unnatural ami
mostly towards the land that gave them birth.
If that notorious hypocrite, the Corsican up
start, barely expresses an mteution to do us
Justice at some distant day, he is hailed as the
very essence of honesty and friendships but
if England actually renders competent salts
faction for an injury, our organs of the, public
will are discontinued. The silly fabrication
of the Philadelphia printer may impose upon
some Of his readers, but cannot for moment
deceive man ofcommon understanding.
The Baltimore Wing says, that the adj
ministration whichvwouM afford any ground
for the report about sending an Ambassador
to England, should deserve the scorn and de-
hesitation of every American Mr.. Madison.
therefore, has his Instructions, which, as GER
tain folks insist upon the right of giving, he
will not dare to dsobey, otherwise he may
calculate on receiving their "scorn and de-
testation" We have all considered it impor-
tant to have man of talents and hrmness in
the Presidential chair; but we now see how
much more important it is to have presses es-
tablishcd to inform him of his duty, Happy
country! whose guardian genii travel thou
sands of miles to direct her councils and
watch over her interests And what is still
more fortunate, these itinerant sages do not
demand one cent for all their advice, all their
toll, all their expences-not even as much as
will pay for the vast quantity "Opens, ink and
