Who the democrats of Vermont2 To
swer this question, must look over long list,
and few of them. BY democrats mean
those who supported the administrations of Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe, and Adams. These
truly democratic administrations, in which there
was no usurpation of power by the executives no
prodigal waste OF the public monies and tramp
ling under foot the rights of the people Such
administrations were worthy of being supported
and were supported by Samuel e. Crafts, Asa AL
dis, Ezra Butler, Henry DIN, Mark Richards,
Theophelus Crawford, William Sladc, Robert
Pierpoint, Titus Hutchinson, James Fisk, Asa All
kin, Dudley Chase, Joel Doolitte, Horatio Sc
mour, Henry F. James, William Grswod Isaiah
Fisk, and host of others, not less worthy. These
men have been our Governors, Senators, Represon-
tatives in Congress, Judges of the Superior Court
&c. And what is worthy of all praise not one of
them has ever bowed the knee TO King Jdokson
or TO his successor in office They through
the last war, and ever since have been deservedy
