A DwARF has lately made his appearance
al Paris, who has become an object of inter-
est to the people of science in that city. He
comes from illyria, not far from Trieste,
where he was born ,oi respectable parents,
and is called Gulia. The REGULARITY of his
case Is that, up TO the age OF FIVE, he was a
child Of ordinary proportions but his growth
then suddenly ceased, and he is now al %,
Just the size that he was then he was, there
tore, not born dwarf. His height is exact
~ three feet. His figure is beautifully pro-
portioned, and he possesses mind and in,ell.
gence net common 10 other dwarfs He
speaks fluently five languages-the two
which ale common upon the Adriatic, Ger
man, French, and Italian. He is, besides.
accomplished plays the violin, and mounts
a iT4 manages horse with considerable grace.
The check to his development at the age of
five, and his invarlabIe good health ever
since, are, however, circumstances worthy
the attention OF the ply siologist.- T. Sun.

Quite Cnlucky.-Mr. Chang, one of
the Siamese twins, has fallen in love
with young girl at Wilmington, Della
ware, who has reciprocated his passion
SO far that she says she is willing to mar
ry hun but objects to taking Eng, the
other twin, into the concern. The fate
of poor Chang is hard, as divorce from
Eng, his brother, is not to be obtained
on any terms.

THE COMING ELECTIoN

A TREASURY BANK.--It is now evident be-
You'd doubt, that the administration is aiming
at the establishment of a Treasury Bank, which
Is to be entirely under the control of the Presi-
dent. We have heard much from the tories of
the danger Of national bank managed bv bu-
siness men, whose whole interest must of ne
cessty be identified with the interests of the
nation; but what would be the danger from such
an institution compared with that Of placing
the whole control of the circulating medium.
the money power, and patronage of the nation
IN the hands of the Executivel Fellow cit-
zens OF Windham County, are you prepared for
such step-for uniting the sword and the
purse in the hands of the President! We trow
not But this is the question which is 10 be
decided al our September election. General
jackson always appealed to the votes of the
people as sanctioning all his usurpations. II
our election should go in favor of the admins
tratlon, It would be triumphanty appealed to
as the voice of the Green Mountain State on
this momentous question which is before the
people. Do not think the election unimportant
in a national point Of view, because none but
State ok.cers are to be chosen. The eyes Of the
nation are upon us, and to us look the wings of
other States; and on US are turned the eyes of
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1837-08-18

THE UNIoN or THE Purse AND THE SwoRD.
We rejoice to see indications that the public
mind is becoming aroused to the dangers which
threaten us from the increase of the power and
patronage in the administration, which would
be effected by the consummstion Of the design
originally suggested by Gen Jackson, and now
again revived, of Treasury Bank. We have
had practically such one for a few years past,
and the experience we hope will not prove a
useless lesson 10 the country. The following is
from the Baltimore Merchant.
"7ne Treasury Bank.-It seems TO be gem
orally conceded that our Royalist Administra-
tion has finally settled down on a Treasury
Bank as the only means of REGULATING THE
CURRENCY. The details Of the scheme arc, Of
course, unknown; but no doubt is entertained
that IL fully consummates the long-dcsired I'M
ion between the MONEY POWER and the PoLIT-
IcAL powER-the PURSE and the SWORD. To
this dangerous union, things have for years
been tending; and we look upon it's consumma-
ton as the END or FREE GovERNMENT. No
thinking, no intelligent man, can look upon the
connection in any other light. The "MoNIEp
ARIsrocRAcr," of which we have recentlv
heard SO much, will become no syren's song
but will be found engrafted on the Government.
Then we shall fell and know what and how
great is the corruptng influence of MONEY
Already have we had an earnest Of il in the I'M
authorized control Of the Executive over the
public funds; but armed with aTreasury Bank,
we shall fully realize what il is to have Gov
ERNMEsr "MoSsrER." The union is not vet
pcrfected-and while there is life there is hope.
We will not despair until the knot is tied, and
Congress bcstows the concluding NALEpIc-
rIoN.

J PoLIrIcAL Parry NAMEs.-Wc invite at
tention to the communication Of our correspon-
dent Kiiburn on this subject. IL is directly to
the poins-argumentum nd hominem--and the
Van Buren, men will hardly be able TO parry his
home thrust. We had commenced an article
on the same subject when our correspondents
favor came TO hand. We thank him for il. and
would take the opportunity to say that the wri-
ter,-who is no pettifogger, no professed spe-
cia pleader or writer of newspaper squibs, but
business man,-would do the community a
favor by employing more of his leisure moments
IN communicating fof the press the thoughts of
his discriminating mind, on the great and excit-
ing political topics of the day.
II is a fact, and in proof of ii we appeal to the
files of the Wing and Van Buren, papers of the
Inst few years, that the administration party
have sustained the Erecutire branch of the
government in all its encroachments upon the
other departments and the rights Of the people,
while the Wings on the other hand, in and out
OF Congress, have by every means in their pow
er been resisting the alarming strides Of the
President towards the grasp Of absolute power.
But let Mr. Van Buren, himself speak ON this
subject and give his own definition to the terms
Wing and Tory. The following is from one
of his speeches in the IT, S. Senate, against
Executive po,cer, and is perfectly descriptive of
the two great political parties of this country,
at the present moment.
"'Fhe Tories of England strive BY all the
means within their reach TO increase the domin-
ion and influence of THE THRONE, at the
expense Of the COMMONS and THE PEG
PIE; aud the Wines to counteract the exer-
lions OF their adversaries, by abridging that do
minion and influence, or the advancements of
the rights and the consequent amelioration of
the people. The Tory principles, seeking 10
absorb as far as practicable ALL POWER
from lis legitimate sources, and to condense il
in SINGLE HEAD; the Whig being the
antagonist prineiple, laboring assduously 10 re-
stst he eneroachments and imil The ertent of
EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY. The former
IS essentially the MoSARcHIcAL, and the lat
ter the DEMocRArIcAL spirit of society,""

so will their hearts be encouraged aud their
hands strengthened, or their courage dfoop.--
II is the glory of our State that che has stood

erect, amid all the surrounding corruption and
influence, with Tory States on the right and on
the left. KH6
1t is true we are not an empire State; but we
are and always have been freemen; our intel
ligence as people is proverbial; our firmness
in our political course has been the admiration
of our country; our influence is felt. Said one
in Ohio, last fall, on reading in a paper an ac-
count of the result Of our electoral canvass,

AS well might you say the Green Mountains
erect;-she is al,cays erect"
Do the citizens ofthis County want Treas
ury Bank--do they want to consolidate in the
hands of the Executive the whole control OF
the money of the nation-in fine, do they wish
union of the purse and the sword '-Then let
them vote the Tory ticket. But il they wish
for wise simple and economical administra-
ton OF the government, such as characterized
the days of Washington, Madison and Mon
roe, let them sustain the Wing candidates-let
them encourage the Wing statesmen in Con-
gress-let them second the efforts of the whole
Wing party of the Union, in bringing about a

dons OF our tory friends for the uneasiness
which our last number occasioned them. Up-
on our honor we had no idea of creating such a
"rumpus" by the simple recital of such we'll
known facts, or we should have abstaned from
adding TO their "sulierings," which in the Ian
guage Of their patron, Mr. Van Buren,, sis al
ready very great" Our correspondent ssBige-
low,'' as well as ourselves, could hardly have
anticipated such a consequence of our indiscre-
ton, although we were well aware that .sthe
wounded bird always nutters.'' Henceforth,
IN order to guard against such unfortunate con-
sequences, we shall take care to consult our to-
y friends in regard to the publication Of all ar
.'cles designed for this paper, and then we shall
be sure Of giving no offence to any onel! Ex-

supremacy ridiculous would such an asser-

the government scattered in every nook and
corner, in every city and State orour land, than
II was by the old system which has been prac-
t'sed Tor more than forty years of our national
existence! Why, an the Post Office depart-
ment alone, there haze been defalcafions and
losses Of MORE THAN sIsO,OOO since Gen.
Jackson came into Po,eer. How many millions
then would be lost to the government if all her
revenues were placed in the hands Of irrespon-
