the loss OF 800 men, and then rerca,ed INTO Mex.

been obliged to return TO Mexico, on account Of
disturbance there in some provinces. The force
that attacked San Antonio was not his main army.
but detachment despatched under Cos, expecting

consists OF about 5000 men, and such was the rn.

For the Stnte Jnnrnnl.


In giving "A history of the U. s. Bank,
in four communications written for the
"Vermont Watchman and State Gazette"
of August 6, ID, 90, and q, 1882, Mr.. Lu-
cius d. Peck the Van Buren, candidate for
town representative in this town, at the close
of his last communication says:
"lu 1915 we had a democratic represent
tutlon i'll the National Legislature consisting
of Messrs. Butler, Bradley, Skinner, Fisk,
Rich, and Strong, and they with the excep-
ton of MIR Strong, who is believed to have
been n .)ederGlist, voted for the Bank The
result then IS tchen Vermont toas Republican,
she tcGs for the Bank, and t0hPn federal
against 1t. .4nd yet zoe are told that the Uni
ted States Bank is a monstrous federal mo-
nopoLy." These were the sentiments of
Luctus b. Peck Esq, has he ever changed
them? When and where? He stated in
his speech when nominated that he had
ever supported and voted with the Jackson
party. Do you believe it? Has he ever
been trusted, by the leaders of that party {?
| Why was he not nominated as States At
torney? Why was he not sent representa-
tive more than once from Barre ? answer
he was not jackson man, nor never sup
ported the principles of that party but on
the contrary was an unwavering supporter
Of the United States Bank, and ever con-
demned the veto of Gen. Jackson, as Il
high-handed measure.
TRUTH.
