TIE LIFE OF NATHAN SMILE.
The Vermont Patriot has been engaged !
for the last three or four weeks, in ushetlng |
into an astonshed world The life and ex-
ploi,s of the renowned Nathan Smile
And docs any one ask whnt Nathan Smile
has done 90 en,|e him 10 Tins high honor
What has Nathan Smile done! Why he
has been engaged for the last eight or ten
years, in endearoring to persuade the stupid
and refractory Legislature of Vermont to
adop, the following amendment to Bank
charters. VIZ:
"rha, The prva,e property of the President, dl.
rec,ors and stockholders Of said corporation, shan
be holden TO redeem the bills, or notes by them
ISSUED, and be subject TO attachment, OIL m'Sne
process, whenever said corporation shall suspend,
or refuse payment, in gold and silver com, Tor any
of its notes. bills or obligations"
That's what Nathan Smile has done
But Nathan Smile couldn't prevail upon
the Legislature to adopt this sage amend
men,. because JOHN SMITH OF s..
Adams, and WYLLYS LYMAN of Bur-
lnpron, aud THOMAS EMERSON of
Windsor. and JOHN 5. PETTlBONE.
The Yam Buren, candidate last gear far
Lieutenant Governor. and several other
leaders of the Loco Foco party in Vermont
voted against it! But Notwithstanding the
great exploits Of Nathan Smile we tear
the Ffeemen Of this state will prove as
refractory as their Legislature; and as the
General Assembly has been so stupid as to
refuse to adop, his amendment, we shrewdIy
suspect the PEOPLE will be so obstinate as
not to elect Inn Governor. Truly Re.
publics are ungraeluI. But although
Nathan Smile can't be Governor OF Yer
mont ,hls wear, he can have the high salts
faction Of seeing his life spread before The
public IN the columns of the Vermont
Patriot, and his name prln' ed in tarlng
capitals IN all the Loco Foco papers in the
state. which will be no small honor for a
plain Democrat like Nathan.
