YOUNG MEN.

No class in community have deep and lasting
interest in the present political auirs of the nation
as the young men of the country. Their fathers,
while our laws were justly administered, and our
constitution guarded with scrupulous regard to its
PROVISIONS, lived and prospered No sudden and
disastrous calamities, like the present, fell upon
them, as the result of mal-administration OF the
Government Unseduced by the fattery of dema-
gogues, they elected men to office who did not
cnuse the nation to mourn by their disregard of its
welfare. Their rulers not only protested democ-
racy, but they practiced it; and the of presper
ty shone upon them. Industry received its reward;
| enterprise was encouraged and was not thwarted
in its purposes, and the land flowed with milk
and honey But now, o how changed Men
now fill our national offices who profess democracy
and practice tyrannj-profess love for the people
and tramr'e upon their interests-profess to cher
sh industry and deprive it of its just reward-pro-
fess to despise concentrated central power and
are rearing dospotism
Young men-the guardianship Of the public in
terests is falling into your hands. Your fathers are
ready to surrender the noble heritage of free prn-
ciples to your protection. Under wise admins
tration of our government they have accumulated
a competency, and would now ask only to pass the
remainder of their days in quietness and peace
Contrast your present prospects with theirs in early
life. Ifyou arc young and unestablshed in bust
ness, where will you soeki it, Go to the city, there
you will find none. Thousands are there reioced
at the privilege of earning their daily bread. The
streets nearly forsaken and the work shops ten
antless. Do you seek employment in .nlling the
ground? Unsteady employment and low wages
greet you there. Discouragemenls and dsappoint-
ments are in your path. Where then will you go2
Go TO the ballot box, and dspe the cloud which
is lowering upon u.s. and threatening hide in the
gloom of an eternal night the sun of our national
prosperity This is your first duty. Do this, and
do it with your might and the tide of prosperity
will flow over your country and make glad the
hearts of the young, and cause The old men to ro-
iolce.

Vermont, Mr. Editor, Vermont is the most demo-
era tic State in the Union The right of suffrage is Sc
cured TO all ho citizens of lawful age, whatever may
be their pecuniary circumstances or their cotor Her
Constitution is pre-emnently democratic referring
back to the people annually the election OF her
Representatives and Executive officers, and to her
representatives 1he annudr appointment of her
Magistrates. Her Legislation has been democratic
SO equally balancing the privileges and immunites
of the different classes Of her citizens as to preserve
and guard the rights of all, while encouragement Is
given to genius and enterprise, and general INDUS
try. Her institutions and the habits of her citizens
arc democratic There is an uniformity OF manners
and Of general intelligence, an intermingiing OF all
virtuous society of whatever calling, and general
distribution of state and local offices which exist in
no other States In Vermont, arstocracy and over
grown monopolies are unknown, except in the in
aammatory editorials ofthe Van Buren, newspapers.
The spirit of democracy is felt The people feel
that they are Free and they dsdain to wear collar
1t is her democracy, sir which has for more than
eight years perseverngly and successfully opposed
all efforts to enlist her in the support of Jackson
Van Burensm. The spirit of democracy in the
freemen of Vermont resulted in a tri-
umphant majority of 1000 for Harrison at the cleo
toral canvass In November last, and yet the federal
party in Disguise have the effrontery to denounce
this phalanx of Republicans as FEDERALIsTs, while
they insultingly claim to be the DEMOCRACY

I Who are the men that are for multiplying Banks 7
Does tho Jackson system which Mr. Van Buren,
has pledged himself to follow, tend TO RESTRAIN inc
issue of Bank paper within safe and wholesome
Limits? Certain it is that Jackson had fair oppor-
uniy for trying the effect Of such measures as he
chose to pursue. lie had majority in the House
of Representatives during his whole administration
No law could be passed unless sanctioned by his
dov oed adllerents. Anajority Of the Senate, too
during the latter part of his administration, were
decidedly with him. Were his measures calculated
to estran, or to encourage the extravagant issue
of Bank paper We give fact or two. Many
might be given. The official statement Of Secretary
Woodbury. Is referred to for the correctness OF the
following:
When the charter Of the first u. S. Bank expired
in 1911, there were So State Banks. ID uring the
next five wears there was no national bank. In this
lime the State Banks increased from SO to 246.-
From 1916, when the second U. s. Bank was char
tered, to 1880, when Jackson commenced his attack
in earnest, upon the U. S. Bank, S3 State Banks
were incorporated being average of six in year,
and making the whole number 800. During the
last seven years, e. from 1880 to 1887, inclusive,
the number of State Banks has increased from 329
to 1923 by an average increase of moro than 70 in
a year. Again, from the revolutionary war to 1880,
tho number of State Banks created was 1929 from
1880 to 1887, tho number created was 1914 Again,
from the revolution to 1880, the bank capital was.
ITO millions; from 1880 to 1887, it increased 269
millions. Once more, the chief increase of banks
and of banking capital has been in the States which
have Jackson ma orities.
Whether the system of Jackson and Van Buren,
does or does not tend to monopolize let these and
an hundred other facts declare.

PUMPKIN SUGAR.-A discovery has been made
in France, a knowledge of which may be made of
great importance in tho United States, and espc-
cialy in the Eastern Section. This is the man
ufacture of sugar from the favoritc vegetable of
the Yankee. Pumpkins will be longer
vcrtcd into pies alone in,; saccharinc matter
will grace the tca-table in pure snowy Jumps; viii
whiten the pies with fine mealy powder; and COW
or the wedding cake with its delicate frost work.
A complete revolution is expected to take place
in France in the manufacture Of native sugar-a
revolution which will probably compel the beet
growers to hide their diminished heads. In other
words, the pumpkins is about to enter the field
rival of the beet root, and to force the Cham
Der of Deputies to reverse its late enactment on
the sugar question. An industrious Spectator is
on the point of establishing mandatory for cx-
tracing sugar from this overgrown and hitherto
despised production of the vegetable world, the
first experiment which, 1t is added, have been
crowned with complete success.
Such is the prospect in relation to pumpkin SUI
gas in France. Bat we should like to the
country that dares compete with New England
in the growt tn of fine, large, yellow, sweet pump
kins.-[ Messenger.
