CHARLES X. CLEAVES.
montpelier, .4ug. 90, 1888.

More screaoS loose In another part of our paper
running on the locofoco ticket Cor state treasurer.
We are happy TO ininrm the public that 6ir Cleaves
is not the only of the old and staunch friends
OF the administration, who dates TO be independent
ofmere party trammels and to act in honest accord
ance with the dictates Of conscience. There are
several such in Montpelier; and we are confident
that if the most OF the friends OF the administration
would brush away the nisls Of hmm buggcry and
deIusiun, and see the principles and measures of
the administration as they really are-nnti-yepnbli-
can and dangerous-the collars which the locuico
leaders would put upon their necks would be ndig-
nantly spurned. We say this with confidence.
Look ut Maine, New York Connecticut, Rhode
Island North Carolina. and Louisiana; look at the
entire republic, where Gf may IL strong ex.
pression,) Gen Jackson almost omuiputcnt II
few years ago, but which is now against Van Buren,
and his measures by overwhelming maiurty.
The truth is, the people OF other states--lnuutudes
Of the original friends of Van Buren,, have and
felt the solemn truth :hati is necessary abandon
the administration, if they would the republic
from a continued reign of terror and distress And
are the people of Vermont less intelligent less in
dependent, less patriotic? We hope and trust not;
we are glad to say that we now begin unequv.
ocal signs that they not. TO the old and true
friends of democratic wing princ pies say--be
Jealous be faithful be industrious in scattering light
and truth, and be encouraged that the honest and
independent men among your opponents will listen
to truth, and to calls of patriotism, and the
rescued WaichRpdn.
