their still farther advance. through the ST.

Republican party. under present leaders,
appears TO be Withdrawing from and aban-

strange as it appears. they are advocating

we see by the Boston papers Of this morn
ing, that an injunction has been issued against
the Middiipg Interest Bank of that city, pro-
hibiting il from transacting any business other
than collecting its debts, until hearing can
be had, and some further order on the subject,
be issued by the court.
The injunction was granted on the appli-
cation Of the Bank Commissioners, who state,
that upon an examination of the affairs of the
Bank, they are of opinion il cannot be allowed
10 continue IFS business, without hazard to the
public, land danger to those whose funds are
in its custody.
They also state that the Bank has violated
the statute for the regulation OF Banking and
particularly, that the Bank commenced bust
ness, before its capital was paid in, according
to law, and granted loans to certain ofits stock
holders before they paid in the full amount of
the shares by them respectively held.

One fact is sufficient TO refute the position
that banks are exclusively of wing origin
The State of New York, until the present
year has been thorough Jacksonian. Van
Buren, state. That party have had such
majority in the legislature that they have
had their own way. They have chartered
banks more freely than any other state
and has been well understood too that their
banks. when chartered, should be in the
hands of the friends OF that party. II in
Vermont banks have been chartered at all,
1t must have been by some other than Jack
son or Van Buren, Legislature, for we new
er. yet, have had such body. But il is true
that until the party betooh themselves TO
the expedient Of converting Legislation into
eiectioneering machinery, the Jackson or
Van Buren men in the Legislature voted as
cordially for banks as any other class of
men in the legislature Witness the rechar-
ter Of the bank OF ST. Adams in 1886, sustain

rEDERALl FEDERALll

The Wing party are continually assailed
by the affiliated presses OF this State, as 'the
federal party, because forsooth, Gen. Wal.
ton, formerly editor Of the Watchman, hap
pens to be wing. IIc is called the editor
Of the Watchman. which they aver is the or
gan ofthe Wings in Vermont; and then put
the question "can the Ethiopian change his
skin or the Leopard his spots ~ Now, il so
happens that Gen. Walton is not nor has he
been for long time the editor or one ofthe
editors Of the Watchman; --he is merely one
of the proprieiors Of the paper, from the bus
mess concerns Of which he has retired, and
the paper is edited solely by one Of his sons.
This the Tory papers well understand. But
suppose tito be true, that he was the editor,
and we should turn the rule upon the Van
Barren party, which they apply to the
Wings The fact cannot be questioned that
there are among the leaders, chiefs and
sachems ofthe Van Buren, party mole of the
old federal party, than among the Wings
and of the distinguished men Of the old re-
publican parly--those who were distin-
guisheJ for honesty and consstency--now

the ranks Of the Wing party. This is true

In this state, electors Of President and

Adams, were chosen by the legislature of
1924 Mr. Van Ness was, lat that time, COVER
nor, Hon. Aaron Leland was lieutenant gov
ernor, and Mr. Wales was speaker OF the
House OF representatives. No Legislative
body in this state ever embraced more talents
than that Of 1924. During the session. there
was convention OF members for The pur-
pose OF an expression OF views in relation TO
a candidate for the Presidency. AT this
meeting Lieut., Governor Leland presided,
authorised an annuncialion 10 be made, that
he was in favor of John Quincy Adams for
President. the same meeting. a nnmina-
ton was made for electors One gentleman
put in nomination was Mr. Burr of Man
chester. Mr. Merrill Of Bennington objected
to this nomination, on the ground that he
had understood that Me- Burr "was Craw-
fordite." Mr. Merrill wanted electors who
would vote for Mr. Adams. This is the
same gentleman now the Van Buren, cand-
date for lieutenant governor.) On inquiry,
it was ascertained that Mr. Burr would vote
for Mr. Adams and all was satisfactory The
convention was unanimous for John Quincy
Adams. The electors appointed were Jonas
Galusha, Titus Hutchinson, Joseph Burr,
John Mason, Jabez Proctor. Asa Adds and
Dan Carpenter. They all voted for J. Quin-
cy Adams. President, and John G. Calhoun,
Vice President There was no choice OF
President by the electors, and the election
devolved on the u S. House of Representa-
tives and was made by that body in Februa-
ry 1925. The representatives from Yer
mont. at that time, were William c. Brad
ley. d. AFRO A. Buck. Samuel c. Crafts,
Rollin G. Mallary and Henry Orlin. all OF
whom were for Mr. Adams, and Mr. Buck, as
teller ofthe delegation, accordingly gave the
vote OF Vermont for Mr. Adams.
Such is the history of the nomination OF
Mr. Adams in Vermont and these are the
men, who voted for him. Scan them and
see how many there are out ofthem who will
be suspected BY those. who knew them, Of
being the dupes OF federal artifice

"Tbc people Of England may now learn
a lesson of Republication from its most
brilliant specimen. the Gov of the United
States. 1t has proved a splendid failure
Van Buren,, who learned many useful tactics
in this country, will bring the democrats
round to a rational system of MonarchiaL
obedience. Democracy is the best and most
powerful lever in the world, If pressed judic-
iously. Monarchies have been upset by it !;
but great many more have been establish
cd by it, Van Buren, is said to be non
talented man. but he knows human nature !;
he knows his countrymen too, and has laid
the finest train that was ever conceived
He has prevailed upon the popular old
President to set an example Of absouteism
and independence, which perhaps no other
man in that country would have attempted
He will ultimately, mildly and cautiously
but having the support of Democracy, he
will undoubtedly succeed in bringing the
whole Union under the sway Of few en-.
larged and cultivated minds, which are the
source Of stability and order in every coun-
try. The people cannot govern themselves
any more than a public school can govern
itself without the superintendence of mas.
ter 1t must be merely an increased round
OF clamor and contention .--We have now
more hope for America, than ever we had
since her Declaration of Independence. Mr.
Martin Van Buren, has succeeded in run.
ming down national bank. which was the
formidable obstacle to executive control, and
has collected in his hands the reins OF n
good team OF State institutions, which will
draw well together and bear him upwards
like the steeds OF Pegasus The Republic
ofthe United States, like that OF Venice, will
become an oligarchy; and will be, unless
we are mistaken, a more enduring one. 1t
will not. like Venice, become a splendid ru-
in Of palaces; for it has arterial springs OF
commercial prosperity which nothing can
paralyze, and which do not depend upon the
diseased s,omnchs Of Europe for heaIthful
action For fifty years or more, it viii be
a clever oligarchy, and then the people will
wisely and cheerfully consent to its becom-
inga limited monarchy. Van Buren,. we
believe, has son or two, and he will prob
ably establish sound and useful dynasty
for that great continent"
