Your two Democratic candidates for Senator's
Messrs. IlaswelI and Chittenden-are in favor of
of making the private property Of all stockholders
liable for the redemption Of their bills. Sentinel
Just as near the truth as the Sentinel
usually gets, TO wit; the very reverse of it.
Mr.. Haswell and John Smith both voted in
in 1886 AGAINST the proposition to
make private property holden for the iabil
tiles of The St. A lbans Bank, and ITTHRO'
THEIR INFLUENCE that provision was
defeated. See journal of the house.

THE BANK "SENTINEL,"

We have been somewhat amused Of late
to witness the con,ortions and insane ra-
wings of this mendocous print, on the
subject Of Banks. Its readers have had
little else for the last six months, but bank.
bank, bank, --Biddle, Bidde, BiddIe--
bank, bank bank. Mondays, its theme
was the "bank monster" and Thursdays
twas the "monstrous bank" Intermixed
with this there has been an occasional
springling OF "aristocracy, monopoly, hard
money, sub-treasuries," &c. but all tum-
bed in together in such elegant confusion
as to defy the universal Yankee nation TO
"guess" what the creature was at. 1t was
not against banks. O no for all its prin.
cipal candidates. for Office were bank dlrec-
tors, stockholders, and attornies! 1t was
not in favor Of banks. o no! for banks
were unpopular! It was not in favor of a
specie currency; nor yet in favor of paper.
1t was truly in dreadful fx-much like
the truant school.boy, who.
"rhe reason why, he could not tell,
But this he knew. and knew fall well,
lie did not like that Doctor Fell"
But the truth unques,onably is, that the
fellow has got bewlldered in attempting to
Eollo,o the iortuous wndings Of the admin
istration, and is now literally out upon the
broad sea OF experiment, without chart or
ompass-bound, he knows not whittier
quite uncertain whether he is himself or
not, and most profoundly lost to his early
history. IT'S but an act of duty to lead
the wanderer back; and, as q christian
man. we can do no less than put his band
in that Of an old acquaintance, whom he
will doubtless recolIect.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

At q meeting OF about 200 wings of the
town of Burlington, on Wednesday eve.
ming last, Mr.. Follett introduced resolu.
ton to abolish imprisonment for debt. and
in the course of his remarks stated that
Mr. Bradley, who was absent, was decidedly
in favor Of it, and as the journals show.
was in favor of it last year, after the bill
was properly amended. Mr.. Pomeroy also
advocated the resolution with great force.
Mr.. Barstow stated that Mr.. Clark was
known 20 be in it's favoi, There see1l
TO be but one mind on the ubiect, md the
resolution was adopted, unanimously.
The wings have taken strong ground on
this interesting topic. A resolution was
adopted at the wing state convention, also,
at the district and county conventions, and
from this unanimi'y Of feeling, it is to be
hoped that the barbarous rite will be
speedily abolished, and men no longer give
their bodies in payment for debts.

VOTING.

Men sometimes say they don't like either
of the candidates, and therefore will not
vote. This is wrong, and is founded in
mistaken ideas of duty. There must be
some mode of selecting candidates, and
when fairly selected, the freemen can only
choose between the two. There is no
other practical mode of getting along; and
unless n few have a right, by throwing
away their votes, to defeat an election, the
duty of voting for one or the other Of the
regular candidates, is very strong. This
might be exemplified, but time will not
permit.
There is another mistake more common

1894.
ut is gratifying TO reflect, that the credit
given by the government, whether to bank
paper or bank agents. has been accompanied
by smaller losses in the experience under the
system of state banks in this country at their
worst period, and under their severest calami'
ties, than any other kind Of credit the govern.
ment has given in relation TO its pecuniary
transactons."-ib.
In the same report, il is stated, that the loss
by one merchant had been greater in amount
than all that had been lost by the banks.
1t is proved in Mr.. Crawford's Report, that
the losses 10 the government by tho employ
ment Of corporations as fiscal agents, have
been but 45.OOlhs OF one per cent, in collecting
three hundred and fifty millions Of general
revenue.

HON, HEMAN ALLEN.
TO THE POLLS! THE POLLS!

TO THE POLLS! THE POLLS!
On Tuesday next let every free
man fulfil the duty he owes to him
self, to the State and the country.
Let all who justly value the privi-
lege of choosing their own rulers,
all who are filled with the true spirit
of independence, all who would pro-
mote the peace and prosperity of
the state, 60 to the polls and cast
their votes for the WING TICK
EFT. We are abundantly strong, if
we will but come outin our strength;
and we again urge upon the wings
OF this district the Importance Of
unsparing activity. Let no man
withhold his vote or his influence,
because he happens to reside in a
town abundantly strong on the right
side. Those are just the towns
that ought to rally, and come forth
like strong man armed.
Who will say he cannot spend
one day to assert the glorious birth
right of a freeman? Who will for
get that eternal vigilance is the only
condition on which we can enjoy
republican liberty-the only means
of preserving it. Let every citizen
remember that he who sleeps on his
elective franchise may awake in the
arms of tyrants. Let the ballot
boxes show that you are yet proud
to be free.

the twenty years he has been in public life,
in single instance he has failed to do
what the circumstances of the case seem to
have required. How many men can stand

you break the rifle across the first log you
