TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.


time few of the satellites Of Van Buren, in Or
leans County, raised, subscribed a fund for the
purpose of publishing paper at Derby Line, to
throw dust in the eyes of the people, and to blind
the honest yeomanry into belief that the Loco Fo
co party is the exclusive depository of all the patr-
otism, all the talent, and all the honesty of the
country and that the wings all ,raii;;ors knaves,
and fools"; and thus, if possible, triumph
at the coming election In this undertaking Lo-
co Foco member of Congress, an honorable Judge,
a Post Master, Lawyer, Dr., Town Clerk and would
be Representative, and several "smalI fry" put
shoulder to the wheel. A printer, kind of scape-
goat, who spent the past winter in trying to stir up
the Patriots the Line, employed a cats
paw to print and publish the miserable stuff which
has graced (disgraced9) the columns of the " Dem
ocrat"
The placed under the especial d.
rection of Editor No i, who also appointed
Treasurer, and Editors Nos 9, 3, s. 4, were appoin-
ted , gratuousy offered their services, 10 rake
and scrape, pick up, invent, Elsify, retail and pro-
muigate stories to blacken the characters of Wing
candidates for office. How well each one has per-
formed his part the editorial columns of the Demo
cra (han which more laundering, coarse, I'M
grammatical, nonsenscal and vulgar specimen of ed
itorship never made its bow TO the public abund-
antly testify. Feeling, as we do, impregnable in
principles, and in the righteousness of
unconquerabe, have rather been disposed to
laugh at the clustering efforts of the Locofocos to
carry our county; but we were hardly prepared to
witness, so soon, explosion of the concern. The
Editor No. 9, and the printer, III. S. Blanchard has
publicly announced in Streets that Z" but one
number Of the democrat aoiH make its appear
0mce; = and has publicly offered to sell himself and
principles (may heaven this community from
such calamity as adopting his moral religious
principles) to the Wing party for hire !! This
plosion, rather dissolution of a concern whose
component parts wanted the adhesive principle of
political honesty to keep them together, takes place
in consequence Of the zeal of No. Editor, in play
ing his part in personal abuse. In the last No he
undertook to retail, specimen of what he term
ed federal inSotence," casual remark Of one of
most respectable citizens; and, in doing so,
twisted remark that &c the Irasburgh Bank had re-
sumed specie payments some weeks since" into
statement, that the people did not wish that Bank
resume, &c" The publication of this article
ny naturally brough, the Editor No into the linn
hos, and to extrcate himself said he knew nothing
of the article ill published; but No 2 stou,ly de-
MED this, and said that No. read the obnoxious
article in the proofsheet and permitted it to go to
ncs,'' got into passion and refused furnish sup
plies, and the Democrat" is to expire. AT it's
funeral will probably be said or sung,
GO When rogues fall ont" &c.
p. S. have just learned that this pink of con-
sistency this Jack Cade printer and joint Editor of
the " Democrat has had the impudence to offer
his services some of the leaning Tories on Stan
stead PLAIN, whom he spent last winter in abusing
and vilifying, to publish paper in support of the
British Government !! Freemen of Orleans Coun-
ty, sohat think you Of such an Edetor9
P. S. No. g. The dog has returned to his vom-
it, and the to her wallowing in the mire.'
Since the above written have understood that
the ofiice-holders have had meeting, and have re-
solved to shell out and feed the " criter till the
first of September. FREEMAN
