Resolped That we hold the conduct of John For

remove an American without just cause, ioho mas
seyDed The e0auty inMe hour Of PERIL ms highly IN
furious to Republican principles aud as tending 10

ResoIped That we view The course of John For

court the influence of foreigners, and thus alternating
the attachment of friends from the administration
of their own choice.
Thus, then, it seems it has come to be crime
and disqualification for holding subordinate sta

think you, People of Vermont, born among our

think YOU of such an Administration? What think
you OF the attempt, when it finds il is losing the

since the new Collector of The port of N. York, re-
moved or displaced large number of subordnaies

that they na;ive-born American citizens, to

years since large gangs of the same patriots in the

WINGS OF VERMONT I!

The day of trial is near at hand which is to test
the sincerity Of your attachment TO the genuine
principles of the Constitution which will decide
whether you, like your brethren in other States,
feel the responsibilities which rest you at this
important crisis, when every thing held dear by ms
as citizens and Republicans, is threatened with de-
structon. The voice OF the Nation has distinctly
pronounced in favor of change Of Administration
-that voice is condemned and denied by rulers
they have banded their forces every whore and
are now moving heaven and earth to effect rever-
sal of that decision Government Officers of ali
grades converted into Janisary corps f"bought
up vassals to overawo and control the People, 1t
is an interesting moment in our history. If the
People remain firm, active and vigIant all will be
welI;-the reign Of prescription for opinions sake,
of official corruption and POPULATION, and above ALL
the reign of wicked experiments upon a sound cur
rency and upon the industry of the country, will
soon be at an end. Ifthey should laller the
brilliant achievements they have accomplished in
nearly every State in the Union, will fade away
without any abiding result-mere summer lightning
flashing up brightly for moment aud then leaving
ali enveioped in utter darkness.
The friends OF misrue count upon reaction
they have counted upon it FOR more than a year-
still defeat follows upon defeat, and no reaction
comes Yet they eynco no disposition to yield
they have hoised their black flag and seem resolv-
cd to reconquor the country perish in the attempt.
Well, the People of Vermont prepared TO bring
the question 10 direct and speedy issue. They
have manfully resisted alike the Establishments and
threats of Jackson Administration for eight years,
with all the wonderful influence attached to his
name, and it is scarcely to be expected that they
will yield at the first moment when his pow.
erless successor-a mere "Eolitcal grimalkn"
waves his wand over them. No Let them talk of
reaction in Name or New York, or any where, but
not in Vermont. She will be true to her chnrac ter
and her princpes-sho cannot be bought or won
She follows no man set of men. Her position
is the result of her own unbiased judgment and all
the powers of corruption cannot move her from it,

A SMALL CAPITAL. Inc IoIowlhg orlSlHa' an
ecdote is related OF two individuus-a Wing and
Tory, in this county, who warmly discussed the
merits of Gen Harrison and Martin Van Buren,, on
the day oflhe canvass tor electors. After warm
debate the Harrison man enqured what Van Buren,
had ever done to onlIe him To the Presidency
Why replied the tory, she aoas general IN he t"S'
,car and q0as IN scDcrai battieS oih the Br'ttsh'
This cogent aud ununswerabie reason for eleclng
Van Duren TO the Presidency finds lis parallel IN
circular issued last week by The tory parry, from Inc
Office Of tie North Srur, addressed TO The Freemen
of the 5rh Congressional district, setting forth the
CLAIMS OF Gen Flotcher for recollection. we regret
thot we have not room TO insert the whole OF this
nrncious D,orcean for the amusement Of our readers
II is fail Of the current arguments Of the tory party
tho terms Federal and Fcdoral;sls occur in about
every 9Th line, and form the gist OF the argument
According 10 this official document, Gen Fletcher
boe e,Iinecd. ven. nunIhilaed and forever blasted
the whole Vermont delegation except himself, and
he stands alons-a constellation duzzling-so po-
tent MS TO beyIder the vision %: every loco fuco in
The district.
But what has Cen Fletcher done, thus to immor-
iaIl2e his name? Why, gentle reader, he made a
speech. Yes, some time during the protraoled SEES
sion or,he last Congress, no mustered sufficient
courage to make Specch, in which, in the language
of the tory circular, lie 9 completely and fully eclip-
sed the whole delegation Of Vermont and entwin-
ed a wreath Of lauroIs for his brow that will
bloom in splundur W hen his sanderers and reviers
will be forgotten" We advise Mr. Prentss, and
Mr. Swift and Mr. Everett aud Mr. Slade, and 9th.
II mcuhers of Tie Vermont Delegation, to resign
their seats aud to retire before this satete-yes, to
have heir names " cnyQHged" from the roll of Con
gress, and give Place. ample pIare, for this cham
pion, who, notwithstanding the dubious state OF his
health, innate A speech in Congress. Seriously, we
consider this attempt to puff the claims Of General
Fletcher, because he nude speech, too small a
business The speech itself, far as it goes, is
well enough. IL is almost literally what has APP
peared cdoraly in The Caledonias, the Vermont
Waterman, the Burlington Free Press, aud other
Wing papers. 1t is in substance very much what
WIN. Upham and other Wig Statesmen have, with
much more pathos, urged on various public occasions
during the last winter Ne object not to the speech
though it is an ordinary performance. But, that
the Frccmcn of the 5th district sbonld be regarded
under everlasting oahgali"n to vote for man
who has no other claims than merely having made
speech in Congress is too humiIialing, and shows
the straits 10 which Tho tory party are driven 10 sus-
lain their sinking causca speech, too, which might
have occupied fifteen minutes in lis delivery.

OF OLD FEDERALISM
NULLLFLCATION AND SLAVERY!

The Address of the Van Buren, members of Con
gress to the people Of The United States avows a
doctrine, which, if practced upon, will perpetuae
slavery in the Capitol of this free Marion 10 the end
of time The tyrann:cal doctrines of John C Cal
houn, of Pckens-the snnderei OF the worlkinoman
Of the north are embodied and subscribed to by ev-
cry Van Buren, member Of Congress from the north
yes, even by the Hon. Isaac Fletcher from the
free State of Vermont. This we take to be true
as the address purpors to emenate from all the V.
b. members and has the appearance of having been
adopted without dissenting voice. And to make
the alliance stronger between notification and sa-
very, the address is signed the two first names,
by those old federasts-Ruel Williams of Me-, and
e. d. Wall of New Jersey, who openly boosted IN
the Senate last winter of his abours with the fed
ern party. Yet this address is called Republican
Can there be any principle of freedom in such
heterogeneous combination as Slavery Modification
and old blue light federalism?
Will the democracy of the North swallow this
dose prepared for them by the Great South Carroll
ma Agitator, and so freely accepted by the Van Bu-
rem collar men in Congress? Is it time for them
to inquire, before they give their any man
