Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1836-09-09

process of being robbed Of as many rights of
land, which cannot be estimated at less than
thirty thousand acres,--it is time for the De-
mocracy of Vermont TO sound the alarm and
raise the cry of no monopoly! Every true de-
mocrat--every opposer of monopoes, will con-
slider our revolution as but half achieved. so
long as thirty thousand acres of thoz soil and
freehold OF our State is held in perpetuity by
this odious foreign corporation The Noble
men and the Right Rec. Bishops who compose
this corporation, after lethargy of forty years,
and most shameful inattention to the duties
oil their trusts, now that these lands have been
converted from a wilderness into cultivated
held, by the industry and hard labor Of the
purchasers, have at last awakened and with n
kind Of furtive silence, commenced actions of
ejectment for the recovery of these lands.
such is the character of this monopoly in
Vermont, and if the present generation had but
half the spirit of their ancestors this Society
would cease to exist.
DoUnLE AND QuITs.-We were surprised
yesterday, on picking up the Washington Mir
ror, to find il fac simile Of the Telegraph
Mr. Dawes, the editor, in putting il out in Tel
egraph livery, announced in his prospectus that
u was Harrison paper. Upon inquiry, we
found that this was new movement of Duff
Green. Tie Mirror has become Mirror of
the Telegraph, as the White Sun the echo of
the lntellgencer. The desperate gamester,
when he has lost all his stakes and half his Gre
dit, plays double and qtIits-and this, we take
it, is the case of Green and Gales. The one
stakes White and Harrison-the other, Harri-
son and White: one the shadow Of shade
the other, the shade Of shadow.
What admirable embems are our city prints
of the candidates of wbiggery and its cause.
The tickets of these people are intertwisted
precisely like their types. We have Harrison
and White running together in Virginia; Web
stcr and Harrison in Massachusetts,; Harrison
and Granger mix up abolition, antmasonrv and
federalism, north of the Potomac and Ohio;
White and Tyler amalgamate notification, the
slave excitement and federalism, south of them.
Maryland however being slave state, Harri-
son there joins hands with White by taking his
squire Tyler for an associate; and he makes
amends To his northern hackers bv mounting
Granger behind him in the slave-holding state
of Kentucky. II is thus these double interests
are grappled together in the middle-Aand il is
remarkable with what care these lacking toge-
Their politicians have worked this cross-stick
upon the sheets they display at head quarters
here, where all their patchwork principles are
quilted together Globe.
NoTE BY THE PHGNIx.--Doublca and quits
and fac Smiles are the order of the day at head
quarters, both at Washington, ID. c. and at
Montpelier, VT. The Waterman and journal,
two papers published at the latter place, the
one Notwithstanding, the other an
antimasonic- abolition-whig-hav been playing
at "double and quits" by the outer forms of
these respective papers appearing as fac similes
Of each other. Either the Journal exchanges
forms with the Waterman, or the Waterman
with the Journals; or, what may have been the
case, the editors Of each paper looked so much
alike, thought so much alike, acted so much
alike, (the one being a mason, the other an an-
timason,) that the outside Of their papers by
intuition bore the same impress, oil except the
heads-the one looking for all the world very
like a masonic, the other very like an antma-
sonic po,c in close communion. Now we don't
blame our brethren Of the type in the least--it
is very convenient way of doing things up.
Besides there is double the amount of knoioi-
edge spread abroad in the and-it is praise
worthy; so here we rest it.
''THE ZoDIAc." -The two first numbers
and entertaining periodical have been received.
AS usual the work is replete with sterling lite
nature, and we do not hesitate to pronounce il
one of the first of its class. In No. is COM

written, and our only regret is to find $50 be

| IN Indian ro55ed.-The Memphis Enquirer
says that three white men, with faces BACKED
and disguised, lately entered an Indian cabin
within the nation, and robbed it of 1850 dol
lars which the proprietor had received from the
sale of his lands.
