we also refer you TO the 4, 5, 6 and 7
sections ofthe same act TO see further guards
against frauds ofbank corporations. Ifthis
act be not sufficient, we know not what can
be done Perhaps the Tories would choose
10 have the offenders against the Sd section
hung instead Of being confined 10 hard la.

| II is difficult TO please every body, and we
should not be surprised ifihe Tories should
deny there being any such act, as the one
we have referred to, although it is to be seen
on the 10 and | lth pages OF the printed laws
OF the last session OF the General Assembly.
Such denial would not be more strange, than
their denial ofihe truth of Mr. SHADES Address
lately published in the Wing papers. A
Tory holds 10 passire obedience and non res
isteace therefore. if the evidence be ever
clear. and full 10 prove most shameful u
surpaiion of power, and total disregard
OF the constitution OF the United States by
the President, Tory will close his eyes
against such evidence. and be ready to
swear, that the conclusions of the speaker
are all false. We have proof Of this in re-
marks upon MIR SHADES Address published
in late North Star. These remarks
show such recklessness. and disregard of
the truth, that the publisher needs the pray
ers Of all good people. AT this day, the
Tory motto is "Smilie and Bank REFORM
| Did Mr. Smile vote for the act TO which we
have referred The Journal of the Senate
shows no such thing.
But we know, that our worthy Governor
Silas H. Jenison, approved the act, which
shows, that he was for protecting the rights
of the people. The approval of this act, 10
connection with his high qualifications for
the Office, should induce every honest free
man 10 give his vote for SILAs II. JEHIsoN
TO be Governor the ensuing year.
We have lately read what is called the
Biography of Nathan Smile, the Tory can.
didate for Governor. II was first published
in the "Reformer and Democrat "a small
sheet issued during the electoneering cam,
paign at the Patriot Office. Montpelier
This small sheet has no known editor, who
is responsible for what is published. II is
depository ofingenious falsehoods TO be
extracted and republished in other Tory
papers, when their editorsare like to fail for
want Of stock. Among the ialsehoods, we
find SMILES Biogr apply. which is extracted
and republished by the editor Of the North
Star. Some editors think il is less criminal
10 extract, and repnblish falsehood, than
i ITO fabricate. and publish it in the first
instance; but this is doubtful morality.
Freemen Be on your guard against Pnf-
fers and Biographers, who write to deceive
you; and publish their writings in that
'small sheet" When you see extracts
from that polluted source. turn from them
with disgust.
