I0sSpcaking Of the letters Of "Throsy-
bulus," the last Patriot says:-"lt would
doubtless give him [Jacksonl pain TO know
that he has been roughly handled by one Of
the nobility Of Vermont"
We are glad of the opportunity'to learn who
are the real nobility Of Vermont. Ii SO hap
pens that Thiasybulus," is a farmer Of a
northern county, never in public life, and as
far as we know, with no ambition for the
"spoils" OF Office. Independent in his opin-
ions, intelligent, and unbiased by the mo.
tives which too frequently rule mere po'iti-
clans, he has expressed his views Of the late
administration, as every honest man would,
without fear or favor; nor has he been very
backward in sustaining the correctness Of his
views by facts and illusions 10 public meas
ures, which undoubtedly are not the most a.
grceoble to the worshppers, either Of the sun
which has just set, or Of that lesser light which
succeeds il. The anger Of the Patriot is OK.

Of demagogus. In the bod sense, intended by
the Patriot, he is not, and one might be sur
prised that the editor of that paper should 20
classify him, without knowing either hs char
acter or his occupation. But the editor leap
ed the dark" as other editors are rather apt
10 do and having no idea that farmer could
write such letters, he instantly jumped 10 the
conclusion that bank aristocrat must be the
author. The Patriot now may learn that the
farmers Of Vermont are not fools; they know
too much TO be gulled by the tinselled =" de-

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.

lMPOkIANI FkOM WASttlNGION.
A New York paper publishes the substance
Of document purporting 10 be written by At
torney General Butler, giving the reasons for
refusing TO rescind the Treasury order. The
argument is this repeal Of the order now
would force the Western banks TO give up the
specie, which would in the course Of trade 90
10 New York, and from New York to Eu-
rope-thus reduce The specie in the country,
increase the paper circulation, and cramp the
deposits banks so that they could not pay 4 dol
lar Of The debt They one Government! IL this
be true reasoning, then it is n fine commeDta-
ry upon the pet bank system which Andrew
Jackson g. Co. have fixed upon the county,
Would it not BIO pretty sight that, to sec tho
pets refuse 10 pay over Tho Deposits, and
render as an excuse therefor that tho Govern
ment, by its wrctched 'tinkefing OF tho cur
roncy,' had deprived them of the means : The
following extract is, to say the least, some
what singular;
Letters were also produced from our minis.
ter at London, from our consul at Liverpool,
and others, suggesting that every practicable
method should be resorted 10 by the govern
mcnt, TO retain the specie now in the country.
They state that England is on the brink OF a
great financial and political convusion, and
that the bank of England will be obliged to
suspend specie payments, unless the efforts
then making 10 procure a supply from the u
nited States, should succeed; and that the
question, in fact, was, whether the banks on
This side Of the water, or on that, should first
blow up. The political disturbances Of Eng
land, says Mr. Stevenson, are greatly promo
ted by her financial emburrassmcnts and, if
the latter continue, the former must soon come
10 crisis. II the money power is crippled
and embarrassed, the democracy of the coun-
try will triumph, and Ireland will be cmanci-
patcd. To send our specie TO England, at
this crisis, would therefore, destroy ourselves,
and aid the British tories in their present death
struggle with the people.

The Riot at Alton.

We published sometime since an &C
count ofthe riot, caused by the mad
projects Of the AbolItionists at Alton,
Nll.) in which the Rev. E. p. LoVelOy
met the fate he deserved. That Love-
Joy was bad man, we have no doubt,
for we were informed by a gentleman
who was present at Alton. that it was
he Lovejoy) who fred the first gun;
that he was not in the house, but that
he stood in the street, at its corner,
armed with four or five loaded guns
which he discharged successfully
amidst the assembled crowd. After
Bishop was killed, (who by the way,
we are informed was a journeyman
Carpenter, and was waiting with his
chest of tools at the landing, for a
steam boat to take him down the rlver,)
the multitude dispersed, for the purpose
of arming themselves. They did So
and as we were informed, did not fire
again until they saw the Reverend Mr..
Loveioy stationed at his old post watrh-
ing for more victims. They saw him
fire, and they returned it.-lIe was
killed, and we think deserved his fate.

EDOEATRY.

The whole nation of Great Britain
is idolatrous. A popular King or po-
pular Queen is worshipped by them as
if they were vicegerents Of Heaven,
and possessed of all the immortal at
tributes of Jehovah. Our own free
country too,became contaminated with
this idolatrous spirit, while Gen. Jack
son occupied the Presidential chair, and
10 Pens were constantly sung by lusty
rhroats,to the 'greatest&best. Bat there
is too much virtue in the people of this

rit to be of long continuance, and he

imprisonment for Debt.

The citizens of Charleston, s. Caro-
lima, lately held a meeting, at which, re-
solutions were passed condemnlng the
laws that renders aD unfortunate debt
or slave and prisoner to an unrelent-
ing and unforgiving creditor. The
sense ofthe meeting was fully express
cd in the following resolution:
'Resoved, That in the view of this
meeting, imprisonment of the person should
be regarded as punishment, and as such
should be visited, only on fraud and crime;
that TO ncarcerate the body of the homes,
msolvent debtor, is to punish misfortune
" thOut trial or conviction, which is not
only cruel injustice, but an unauthorized
exercise of legislative power; and that to
tear the unfortunate debtor from his home
and his pu' suits, is TO deprive his family Of
the means of support, TO fasten reproach up
on his good name, and by breaking down his
energy and pride of character, to cut hi u
off from the hope of retrieving his Condi-
tr"n, all which is calculated by the natural
aud inevitable tend .ncy Of this, to aggravate
the evils of pauperism and wretchedness to
burdens already sufficiently onerous."
Our own legislature, we most ar
IDENTIFY hope, will take this matter up
during the present session, and pass
some wholes ome laws, by which, not
only the creditor may be protected
from fraud, but also that the honest in.
solvent debtor may not be placed into
the power OF a merciless creditor. II
we recollect Alright, very praisewor.
thy effort was made inthe legislature al
its session in May last, by Gen. H. w
DUNLAP to introduce a bill to abolish
imprisonment for debt in this State
but, we believe, in consequence of the
shortness Of the session, the bill wa!
not acted on. We sincerely hope we
have in the present legislature more
such philanthropists as Gen. Dunlap.

the spring; 1t is usual in all Madeira
wines. 1t greatly improves by age
resembles Madeira. Al Vevay. this
grape is always fermented in the skin
and red wine made oft, which in my
opinion is inferior to the white. The
day is not far distant, when the banks
of the Ohio, will rival the rivers OF
France and Germany, in the quantity
and quality of their wines. But afte
an experience of 25 years, and a waste
of time and money in the cultivation,
of a great variety of foreign grapes, !
concluded that we must cOnfine our
selves TO American varieties from the
seed.
