Corruption oiH become the order Of the
day." said Gen. Jackson in 1927, 1" if import
ant appointments continue 10 devolve upon the
representatives in Congress it is through this
channel that the people may expect to be at
tackled in their constitutional sovereignty, and
where tyranny may be apprehended TO spring up
in some Favorable emergency" 1t isto be re-
menbered that this was the assertion Of Gen.
Jackson the candidate; for Gen. Jackson the
President, in his first term alone, appointed
fifteen Senator's and toenty-six members Of the
House to office. Mr.. Van Buren, treads in the
old horo's footsteps gencrally-and has already
appointed sic members Of Congress to office
OF course, "corruption has become The order o.
The day."

TUESDAY, APRIL a, 1887.

Going the ,ohoic. Is it not high time Tor The
friends Of temperance in Vermont TO follow
tho example Of the "Amcrican Temperance
Union" in excluding all intoxicating liquors
why shall this not be done Mon get in'ox
;oatod upon wine tho intoxcation or eShila-
ration Of wines is the samo as OF stronger hq-
uors, and as certainly tends TO produce craV-
ing appetite, which will lead to excessive IN
dulcence. Tho truth is that alcohol Is tne pa
ront ar oxhilaration--and it ia the grand ma
,oricl of every kind of wine: why, then, snail
tomperanco mon tolerate alcohol in VINE any
mare than in brandy or rum ! The time has
beon when every body made wide distinction
between wines and distilled liquors, from the
mistaken notion that alcohol could be produc'
ed only by distllation. Professor Beck OF N.
Y. has devoted much time to this subject and
by chemical analysis demonstrated that the
hest of wines contain nearly hall as much al
cohol as brandy contains. Even pure Made
ria contains more than 90 per cent of alcohol:
and hence we are irresistibly forced 10 believe
that the impure wines, manufactured from CT
der, whiskey, brandy, tobacco, logwood, sugar
Of lead, &c. sc. are at least equally alcoholic
and more poisonous The stuff, called wine,
sold and drank in the country, is no more wine
than the puddlcs in the streets, generally speak
ing; indeed, it is doubtful whether gallon OF
pure wine was ever bought or sold in the town
Of Montpelier.
Another reason for the exclusion Of wine is
to be found in the fact that the use OF il is rap.
idly and fcarfully increasing. John Tappan,
ESQ of Boston, has made an estimate, based
upon the reports OF the Seer rotary Of the Trea-
sury, by which he shows the cost Of wines con.
sumed in the United States for the last eleven
years to lie $685. s57, 306-more than eight mil
lions per annum. In 1881 the Secretary Of
the Treasury reported the value offoreign wines
consumed in the United States at s. 1881, 172,
and in 1885 at s3,545, 554-exhlbiting very
great increase.
From these and other facts il is evident that
the great enemy, alcohol, is merely shifting the
ground of attack as distilled spirits become
unpopular, the same deadly war upon the NOR
al character and prosperity of community, is
carried on through wines, strong beer and ci-
der. 1t is the testimony Of more thon one
man that cider was his ruin ii is notorious
that strong beer is fruitful source OF drunken
ness wherever used freely. Why, then, shall
not war Of determination be forwilh declared
against all that intoricates7 See article in an
Other column.

Literature in high life. In publishing the

Jackson's letter 10 the committee, in which

serted that it was absolutely necessary 10 take
great liberties with The productions OF official

tempt; and for a specimen Of Congressional
literature, instances one NJ. c.. who always

that those Of your party who did take an in
