TOWN MEETING.

At the adjourned Town Meeting of the
Practical Democrats of Montpelier, held at
the Court House OH Friday, August 10, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the spotess private char
acter, distinguished public services and
eminent talents of WIN. ii. HARRISON
afford the strongest guarantee, that in what
ever capacity lie may be called to serve his
country, he will bring to that service zeal,
fidelity, honesty and ability, which will ell
sure punctual, fearless and independent
discharge of his duty.
Resolved, That as upon the issue of this
election depends the success or failure of
the true republican principles, it behoves
every friend of political aud civil liberty,
disregarding all minor concerns, to remain
at his post until the result of the contest is
determined.
Resolved, That the talents and integrity
of ELISHA P. JEWETT eminently en-
title HIM to the confidence and support OF
the freemen of Montpelier
Resolved, That the attempts of the para
sites of Martin Van Buren, to head obloquy
upon the name and character of General
Harrison, by using the epithets "Granny
HARRISON" " Pstticoat General" &c. show
the utter desperation of their cause, and
convince us of the high responsibility, the
moral integrity and the firm honesty of the
man.
Resolved, That as freemen who love our
country, cherish her institutions and desire
to maintain our rights and liberties, I'm.
trammeled by the shackles of Gag Laws,
we will 60 to the battle-ground on the first
Tuesday in September, and there stick till
tie last gun is fired.

For the Sta,e Journal.


The time has come that requires an ex-
ertion on the part of true Democrats-the
friends Of civil liberty. Our Constitution
our civil insttutions-the liberty of the
Press and of Speech are in danger of sub
version - of being trodden under foot by
political Camelion. The struggles and I'M
ceasing efforts of government officers in
favor of Mr. Van Buren, should lead every
freeman TO reflect and inquire into the
cause. Are they fearful that the loaves
and fishes" are about to be lost to them
that the people are determined to take the
power into their own hands?
/ have been an observer of events, and
have had an eye upon Mr. Van Buren,, and
if there is an individual in this country
who justly deserves the execration and
contempt of all honest men, it is Martin
Van Buren,. What has he done for the
benefit of his country? Echo answers
Whdt? Sure, he has been appointed to
several important stations under the present
administration. But how has he fulfilled
the duties of those stations? Let every
candid man answer this question in his
for the Presidency. When he received the
appointment of Secretary of Sta,e under
Gen. Jackson, ! was not exactly Satisfied,
for had known his course too well not to
be conscious of his utter unworthiness of
the appointment. But assented to the act,
believing Gen. Jackson honest and better
qualified to judge of his fitness than myself.
The sequel proved that the venerable Pres
| ident was in error and that l was right.
His instructions to Mr. McLane, then Min
lister 10 the Court of st. James, were un.
worthy of slave. lie humbled the Amer
/ lean people--he disgraced them by bending
the knee to the British King and snpplica-
ting favors At his throne! Can freemen,
democratic freemen submit to TINT, by sub
hitting to which Siape would disgrace
himself? Let the ballot-boXes answer.
Mr.. Van Buren's whole course, during his
public life, has been one of mysufcation.
He has supported democratic measures and
opposed them-he has supported federal
and aristocratic measures and opposed them
he was opposed to the last war and for il
against internal improvements and for
them-against tariff and for one-againsl
the u. S. Bank and for the has crossed
Scylla and leaped into Charyhdis. All, and
every act of his whole life has been fol
lfagrandizement-to satisfy his own in
ordinate ambition--his love of power ant
"filthy lucre." "Gag Law" more horrible
in it's features than were those of the elder
Adams and more choking in its operations
is his fast and lamest bobby-horse On thin
, Iame;~-lean, lank animal he expects TO ride
into power 'rough-shod' over the necks o
the people. But he will be mistaken. The
"huge paws" of Democrats will be raiset
TO stay his progress--dnd II ioM be done

This eloquent and. fearless cb9inpion of
ll1man Rights guve a most interesting lee
ture on Slavery on Wednesday evening, in
the Free Church. The lecturer took up
the Bible arguments mainly relied on by
pro-slavery men and scattered them to the
winds. A large proportion of the members
of The Methodist Conference, now'in ses-
sion in this town, were among his auditors,
aud what is better, they are unhinching
and whole-soued Aboltionists.
MIR Storrs lectured on Thursday evening,
OH the Right and Duty of Interference.
On Monday evening, (Sept. 5tl) Mr. Storrs
will answer the current objections to the
principles and measures of abolitionists.
In the Patriot of last week, it is objected
to MIR James election to Congress, that he
was opposed TO the removal of the depos-
ties from the United States Bank, ard was
also opposed to the protest and its princi-
pies Well, admitting it is SO; was not
Lawyer Peck, the candidate Of the Patrio;
for town representative, also opposed to both
of those measures? This nobody denies.
His condemnation of them was strong,
hearty aud open. And why not MIR Mars
ton, oppose Mr. Peck's electiom? Why
not tell your readers not to vote for him
because of his opposition to these promi-
nent acts of Gen. Jacksou's administration?
What's sauce for goose should also be
sauce for gander. IF opposition TO those
measures is disqualification for office in
Mr. James, know of no reason why it is
not also a disqualification for office in Esq.
Peck. Don't blow hot and cold in the same
breath. BE honest, and say it is disquali-
licalion in both or neither
In the last Patriot, MIR Marston asks the
question dis not he Gen. Harrison) an
avowed supporter of the Bank ?" we will
answer it for Mr. Murston, as he seems
quite anXions TO be informed upon the
subject We say then, No! Gen. Harrison
while member of Congress uniformly OPP
posed the Bank in all its interests and
wishes. His vote is recorded against the
Bank and in favor of judicial investiga-
ton of its concerns with a view to an an
nulling of its charter. The journals of
Congress show the fact, and Marston ought
to be ashamed of his ignorance Of it. A
man who sets himself up as conductor of
q public newspaper, and claims TO I've II
teacher in politics, ought not, surely, to be
ignorant of the most important political acts
and events in the lives of our public men.

Hnrrison's popularity among the People,
While the steamboat Phenomenon, was
passing from Flat Rock, on the Maumee
river to Gileah, AT the head Of the rapids,
the subject of the Presidential contest came
up among the passengers, when It was de-
cided almost unanimously TO take vote,
having Van Buren, and Harrison for candi-
dates. The number of passengers at the
Time on the boat, was %, and after making
count, the vote stood for
Van Buren,, 5
Harrison, IL
Such, indeed, is the popularity of Harri-
son on the Miami River, among the people
who have an opportunity of knowing hinA
best and by the very men who are now til
ling the soil, that was defended by Harrison
during the most trying times during the late
war. If men wish to know who Harrison
is, and whit he is, let them inquire of those
who fought and suffered with him on this
very river, in 1913 and 1914. Let them
further inquire of the officers who served
under him for period of twenty long yea RS
in civil and military stations, and after lear-
ming the true character of William Henry
Harrison, if they can support the willy
politician of New York, in preference to
the timeworn patriot of the West, we will
say, that we envey them not their feelings
as American citizens or us friends of their
kind. Miami Paper.
