HEAR AN AGED VETERAN 1!

The following communication comes to
us from venerable democrat of Caledonia
County, whose locks are whtened by the
frosts of seventy winters
For the State Journal.
Mr.. Editor: regret the impolitic
division of the antmasons in this State
Surely some evil spirit must have entered
in among them. And l am sorry to find
that this evil spirit has induced some ofour
journalists to tcheeL TO the left, and to com
mence most virulent attack upon their old
friends. If they must differ, why not treat
old friends With ciyility, and not try to
blacken, and revie and SANDER them? 1t
is disgusting to read the slang that is ban
died about in our public papers. And it is
horrible to think that the protested disciples
of Christ should be influenced by a spirit
so unlike the spirit of the gospel. Is this
the way they obey the command to lovc
one another? How must infdels glory in
their shame
| suppose that no man of information
thinks Mr.. Van Buren, is now, or ever was,
an antimason. Why then should antina-
sons be so engaged to have him for our
next President? Who, or what has be-
Citched them? But supposing they honest
ly believe that he will do better for the ma
ton, than any other man, why need they
denounce and revle, and SANDER every one
that may differ in opinion from them P
Such conduct is base, and III becomes {
good cause.
If Mr. Van Buren, is ,oorthy of being ele.
waited to the Presidency, he must be capa.
BILE, must be honest, must have done some
thing to establish good character. Lee
all his high talents, and his useful, generou,
and noble nets, and publish them upon The
housetop. Let them blazon all his excel
lencies, and place him before the public il
his true character. Then every one car
Judge respecting his qualifications, and give
or withhold, his vote accordingly. But i
would seem, that Mr.. Van Buren's friend
thought it much easier TO reviIe and slande
others, than to show the real eXcelencie'
of their favorite. must tell them howev
err, that such arguments bring ITO convic
ton to my mind. / distrust the cause il
which they are employed. dstrust thu
honesty of those who employ them. An'
| shall not be induced to give my vote 70
a man who has no higher recommends
tons in his favor.

difficulties, that arise among civil govern
ments, and by u Skikfh use of their benign
poiCer, they have held the rod of power
over the nations, and made even emperors
quail before them. Give the Sec of Rome
this power, and her deadly wound would
again be healed. But MIR Van Buren,, with
the appreciation of the President, seems
very willingly, and very politely to accede
to the pope this power. What could a
genuine child of the Romish church do
more, or what more could the pope de-
sire?
Now let us apply this benign influence.
There is Il sharp contest in New York be-
tween the friends of Mr. Van Buren, ard
his opponents--the parties are nearly equal
an appeal is made by some secret agency
TO the Pope, aud he is reminded Of Mr.
Van Buren's kind letter and dutifu respect
Orders are sent from Rome to the priests
who commun icate them to 10000 Roman
lists, and excite them to come forward and
support the Van Buren, ticket, and the
friend of the Pope is placed in the Presiden-
tal Chair. Is not this in fact receiving Il
President from Rome? Was it not in
view of such an event, that Mr. Van Blu
rem wrote his letter? And will there
not be a proprety in the Pope's congratu-
lating his good friend upon his elevation
to the Presidency? Can real Protestants
view such conduct with Indifference? Will
not the friends of our civil and religious
liberties awake, when they are ready to
he delivered into the hand of the papal
Beast? If they will not then we must
learn how good it is to be placed under
the ghostly power of the mother Of hdr-
lots, dnt denominations Of the earth." Mr.
Van Buren, will undoubtedy have the cor
dial support of the Court of Rome, and his
partsans may be willing to be coadJutors
with that Court but protest against all
such alliances, and will not support those
who wish to carry us back to Rome.

VERMONT PATRIoT. We make it a rule
to have as little palaver as possible with
this paper, for the reason that we eschew
controversy with a hireling BLACKBOARD,
whose chief business is to retail falsehood
and calumny. The present editor has taken
occasion, not unfrequenty to evince his
liberality and courtesy, by approaching us
for our religious opinions Such attacks
have uniformly passed without notice. We
have regarded them in the same light that
we should n taunt from Abner Kneeland
or Fanny Wright, or any of the lesser lights
of satanic orthodoxy. If we are herelical
in our views, we certainly feel no need of
going to the confessional of Mr. Jeremiah
r. Marston for dissolution. We do not
recognize his authority to Glide us for any
supposed error of opinion in such matters
But the principal object of this paragraph
is to repel an insinuation, several times re-
peated in the Patriot of late, and which is
evidently intended to injure our business,
by impoiring the confidence of the public
in this establishment. The editor in his
last impudently asserts that we have made
a proposition to the proprietors of neigh
boring paper to sell our press, subscribers
and ALL" Can the Patriot select no more
honorable mode of warfare, than to retail
such falsehoods? There seems to be a
settled purpose among certain Van Buren,
men to annhilate the State Journal. We
could mention the name of more than one
Van Buren, man, who has within the last
three months directly applied to us IN person
and by letter for or "terms." People must
exercise patience, if they will have no re-

COLD COMFORT.

The Van Buren, men of Windsor county
have had convocation and nominated fonr
candidates for Senators. The cream of the
Joke is, that neither of them is an Antima-
son! This is the way the minority of 81
are to be requited for their ardor in the
cause of the Federal Dandy of Undertook.
These "platiorm" democrats have made
glorious beginning? What says Mr. Eaton?
Pennsylvania..is coming forward with en-
thusiasm for the Farmer of North Bend.
Our exchange papers from that State are
iuIl OF encouragement. Large meetings
are held almost weekly in the different
counties. Ritner and Ellmaker and the
true friends of antmasonry in that great
State will do their duty.
Rj-An adjourned meeting of the Mont
yelier Temperance Association will be held
at the Vestry on Monday evening, (25th.
The discussion on the Pledge, and other
important business will, it is hoped, induce
a full attendance of both sexes,

Laws, which the Van Buren, members of
Congress refused TO hear read, is worthy of
