Mr.. Chad'oick;-I find in your paper oflast week
no answer to my, Zone plain question"
do not say that you are able 70 answer IT, but
this assert, there are those in the County who
can answer it. ! again enquire, who is the man,
or men; nominated as senator or senators Tor Cal
edonia County, who own hundreds II not thou
sands Of dollars of Bank stock?
1t there is mar, who is proiossedly an antl'oank
man, and who is the candidate of That party wh"
make such Glamour against all banks, ask CO."
he be honest in his pretended hostility TO bapHS ?
Will the party whose throats have become sore,
and who have cracked their voices beyon redemp-
ton in tho hue and cry. of no banks, no monop-
oly be so inconsistent with ther professions TO
support for senator a man who has his hundreds
vested in that very pink of all monopocs rag
mill bank We shall see by and by, how mnch of
principle, how much of honesty, how much of act
ing according to profession there is in these croak-
ers.
True they call themselves democrats, if they are
in the least democrats, they of your Jonah's
gourd kind, which have sprung up in night, and
will certainly wither in day, when the pure
of democracy shines on them. Your new ledged
hue and cry, democrats of the present day neither
in practice principle likoned unto those
named by Jefferson in your last paper--those were
youl patriots of '76, and your sterling democrats of
1912, and your firm opposers Of Martin Van Buren,
and his pro slavery doctrines of 1887
Naming Van Buren, reminds me of the curse
entailed to our country by slavery, and the deter
mnanon of him, and his friends, to make slavery
perpetual-U do not include in this, all, who sup
port him, for there some who know not that
every Van Buren, vote which is cast ndds new
link to the chain which binds the slave)-I mean
those southern men, who from interest, and
from education l will not call it principle, slave
dealers and holders, l mean those northern men
who have gone, and do go with the slave holder,
and vote with him when called to act as legislators

FoR THE CALEpoNIAN.

N Few days ago, had presented to me for sig
nature petition in the following words
To the Senate, and House of Representatives
of the United States, the undersigne nhabi-
tants OF ------- in the County of Caledonia, in
the State of Vermont, respectfully pray your hon
orable body immediately TO abolish Slavery and
the Slave Trade in the District of Columbia"
This petition had large number of signers,
but among the names, did not discover single
Van Buren, man. This led me to inquire; l. Are
there any slaves in that District 2. Has Congress
power to set them free. 3. Is there n political
party in Vermont opposed to their feedom.-
LIST. BY the Census taken in the year 1890 it ap-
pears there were SIX THOUSAND, ONE HuEpRED AND
NINETEEN SLAVES belonging to tia, District Cd
BY the Constitution of the United States, Congress
is fully authorized, and empowered to legisate for
all the inhabitants, whether white, or black, belong
ing to that district and berate the slaves Sd
From the sneers of the Van Buren, men at this Pc
htion, and their refusal 10 sign it, am convinced
that they,as political party,do oppose the abolition
of slavery approve the slave trade in the District
OF Columbia. my country My country What !
Arc these men Democrats; they for equal righsP
No;--they care not, who, or how many are enslav-
ed, if they, themselves, can be freed and obtain
office. AS like petitions circulating in differ
ent parts of the States for sgners, let them be pre-
eminent, and to the Van Buren, candidates for Of
flee in the State government and see how many of
them will sign. l venture to say not one. Why7
Because their Master, Fan Bu,en, has said slavery
and the slave taade shall not be abolished in the
District of Columbia under his Administration
But All ! says Van Buren, candidate for Office
did you not resolutions for cgaL rights and
abolition Of sla0ery, which were adopted by our
State convention on the 21st of June last? Yes L
saw them-mere gull traps. Your refusing to
sign these petitions shows, that your resolutions
are false, and hypocrtcal designed only for cleo
pioneering purposes. But l think 1t would have
been more consistent with your past conduct, if
you had adoped resolution, that you would en-
courage mobs to interfere, and stop free discussion
on the subject ofslavery. But you have adop ted
no such resolution, and in future, hope you will
be guilty Of such conduct 1t has been ru-
mored here, that in the fall of 1885, in the Brick
Meeting house, in Montpelier Village, a mob as
sembled to stop free discussion, tie subject Of
stapevy, and Effected their object; and in this mob
were assembled and took an active part several
men, who assisted in passing the above resolutions
or the truth of this wish to inquire of the Edl-
'tor OF The Vermont Patriot. / hope he will give
us fnil history ofthat shameful transaction and
especially whether any candidate for Office named
IN the farlot,and to be voted for through the State
took an active part in that mob or in any way
aided, ,or assisted. L merely ask for information
that may know how to give my vote.

PROSPECTS OF, VAN BURENIsM.

BY the last accounts from the West, the admin
Istratlon party was breaking up like river ice be-
lore the first spring misunderstanding in like the H.
iuvial banks of the Mississippi, "whole acres at d
time. There can be little doubts but that this dis
astraus result has been anticipated by the admins
tratron clique at Washington. They fully
aware, that their miserable experiments with the
currency have lost them the confidence and sup
port Of almost the entire West. They now mean
to turn their attention towards securing the North
and more especially the New England States. Mr..
Kendall 5has come on ihere-ostensibly to see his
relatives-and do not doubt that this may have
oeeU n. collateral inducement for his visit but we
havs reason to believe, that his principal object is
TO make arrangements for bringing over if possible
the whole of New England to the trne faith to
have been issued to loco focoize the North; and
Amos is sent to prepare the way. We learn that
ne IS very open IN the asowal of his doctrines, and
thst he is fond of aping the denunciatory style and
manner of General Jackson in conversation. His
:hoeSFnes are the very ultraism of loco oco phiIo
'sophy and they will doubtless be the predominant
ones of the Globe and Mr.. Van Buren,.
another apostle of the administration in the task
of converting THE North is he smooth -tongued Mr.
Butler, who is now in New York, ringing the
changes upon the new party ctltchword-the sep
araion of Bank and State Stra uge, that a man
protesting the principle of the Attorney General
should lend himself to unhal lowed and despi-
cable system of deluson! The administration
are fast falling back upon loco-f!cois'm, Fanny
WrIghtism and Agraranism, THEN foriorn hope
They have lost the West by their attacks upon the
currency. They would gain and hold the Worth by
their new humbug. But they will signally fail in
their undertaking. The tokens in the North be-
gin to be almost cheering those from the West
and the speedy downfall of the corrupt dynasty
OF offce-holders Is at present within the en-
OF probability than it has been since the first Access
sion of General Jackson. May we not soon have
cause to exclaim with Edmund Spenser -

man occupied holding two children in his arms,
was shattered to atoms, and that of the woman
split in two pieces The whole family were blown
