istraon presses agree it is in hitmbugging

an exclusive hard money currency = and thiO
is TO humbug The merchants, aud secure their
votes. At the same time, the other half Of the

ir5SA certain print in this region, is shame
less enough 10 assert that the Wings are for
an exclusive paper currency. We pity any
freeman of Vermont who ia simple enough to
be dupedor any editor who is simple enough
TO hope to dupc his readers--by such huinbug-
gerry. No man over was or ever wosld be so
very foolish 10 wish for un exclusive paper
currency. The fact is, that the Wings are
~A'". and ever have been, for mired curren-
ty OF paper and specie-ior specie. which is
good of ITSELF and for paper, always redcemu-
BILE with, ard therefore just us good as, specie.
This is the currency which Vermont has had,
until the year 1871 better currency, we un.
dertakc 10 say, than any other state in the
which che would nor hape, had it not been for
the experiments Of Juck son, Van Buren,, Ken
dali and the Kitchen Cabinet The editor OF
that paper knows, that the Wings Of Vermont
want no other currency than this their inter
esis demand no other. He knows, that in or
der 10 preserve such currency they were for
National Bank, and Tor no other reason in
the world. He knows, that for this, they re.
sisted tho experiments OF Jackson & Compa-
ny; and he also knows, that now, when these
experiments have all failed and dragged the
country down TO rum, that a portion OF the
leading Van Buren, men are coming out in f.
Dor Of that same kind Of currency tchich the
Wings have altDays desired. The fellow can't
drive the Wings from their old ground; they
will receire the Van Buren, men who will Join
them; but they will neither abandon their own
views Of the currency, nor be driven nor lied
into the support Of an irredeemoJle paper sys-
TEN. That is Yam jack sysiem-gvcn 10 the
country TO redeem hard money pledges! Jack
son and Van Buren, destroyed the National
Bank-insltuted a corrupt league of state
banks-crammed them with the public money

Blop up. On the evening of the Goth
ut., pcdlar's wagon, containing three
kegs and about hundred tin cannisters Of
powder, was blown up at Danville. The
wagon was under Mr. Kelsey's tavern shed,
and the fire was communicated by the bur
ming Of loose powder on the ground. Part
of the shed was blown out, the wagon OF
course tumbIed about without ceremony,
and five persons were burned severely. A

"What Wigs call TOryism." Under this
staring caption the Van Buren, papers have
been parading oh extract from c. J. lngcrsoll,
in which he proieues to place an incstimobe
value upon American citizenship. The infer
ence which those papers would thus have
drawn, prejudcial TO the Wings, is false, will
fully and malicously false. The truth is, that
the Wings have called lngersol Tory, both
because he openly declared that he toould have
been Tory, had he lived in the time Of the
revolution, and because he supports the tory
principles Of the present administration. We
commend 10 the Van Buron papers the follow
ing extract from G, ]. Ingcrso.
" History will say Of Jackson that he was
such man, who by the possession of that
master spirit, erercised greater POWER than
the most absolute MONARCH Of his day.!

Political distinctions. The V. b. State Con-
vention Of June 2ist adopted a resolution, the
drift of which was that the V. B..party would
answer to ne other party name than-"the de-
mocracy" Just like the dog in the manger
who could not cat the hay and 'eouid not let
the OK eat t--these men cannot consistently
wear the name they want, and iciH mol let the
Wings wear it. We commend to them the
following, as a basis for party distinctions,
dawn from high authority:

Senate, answers, that they are those who

in the same speech answers, that they are those
