Mr.. Editor,-I noticed in a late number OF
your paper that John G. Haswell, whom every
body here calls " the milk and water editor, q
and his paper the Fug," is accused of forgery
and il is strongly intimated that he has not
told the truth at all times. Notwithstanding
these charges may be true, as undoubtedly they
are, think the feminine and almost beardless
editor Of the Gazette, should be looked upon
with an eye of pity, and his youthful indscre-
tons and alterations from the path of reciitude
and honesty, call for the exercise of charity, for
il is well known TO all who know any thing
concerning his affairs, that he is stool from
first TO last !" that he does not nor dare not
publish one single article in his paper, until il
has undergone thorough revision BY one or
more Of his loco foco censors among whom may
be numbered the loco foco candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, whom John g. Haswell knows
is not fiji for the Office but dare not now say
so, although formerly has intimated as much
and even more. i say without fear of being
contradicted by any reasonable man. who has
ever heard his decisions in court of Justice

THE LIFE OF NATHAN sMILIE

The Vermont Patriot has been engaged,
Tor the last three or four weeks, in usherng
into an astonished world the life and exploits
OF the renowned Nathan Smile And does
any one ask what Nathan Smile has done
TO entitle him to this high honorl What
has Nathan Smile done Why he has
been engaged for the last eight or ten years,
in endeaUoring to persuade the stupid and
refractory Legislature Of Vermont to adopt
the following amendment TO Bank charters.
viz -
"Thatthe private property oithe President,
directors and stockholders oil said cooperation,
shall be holden to redeem the bills, or notes,
by them issued, and be subject 20 attachment,
on mesne process. whenever said corpora
ton shall suspend, or refuse payment, in gold
and silver coin, for any of its notes, bills or
obligations"
THAT'S what Nathan Smile has done l.
But Nathan Smile couldn't prevail upon the
Legislature 10 adopt this sage amendment,
because JOHN SMITH of St. Adams, and
WYLLYS LYMAN of Burlington, and
THOMAS EMERSON of Windsor, and
JOHN S. PETTIBONE, The Van Buren,
candidate last gear for Lieutenant Gocernor,
and several other leaders OF the Loco Foco
party in Vermont voted against it But not.
wiihstanding the great exploits of Nathan
Smile we fear the Freemen ofths state will
prove as refractory as their legislature
and ms the General Assembly has been so
stupid us TO refuse to adop, his amend
ment, we shrewdly suspect the p orLE
will be so obstinate as not to elect him Gov
ernor Truly Republics are ungrateful.
But although Nathan Smile can't be Cover
MOI of Vermont this year. he can have the
high satisfaction Of seeing his life spread be-
fore the public in the columns Of the Yer
mont Patriot and his name printed in haring
capitals in all the Loco Foco papers in the
state, which will be no small honor for a
plain Democrat like Nathan

The War whoop.

The Tory Lawyers of the Democrat have
raised tremendous shout of Victory in thci
last paper, on account Of the election of thai
Gerry economical democrat Col. Polk, who ex
pended only TWENTY ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY-FOUR DOLLARS of the
Peoples money for the Speakers chair of the
II. Representatives, he being the occupant, the
tool Of the President to pack all the important
committees. These same Lawyers have the
,impudence to charge our state administration
with extravaganza in the same paper. The
same false charge of extravaganza was started
against Mr.. Adams administration, by this
Col. Polk and others, who acted with him in
1927 for party effect, he knowing them to be
false. Those charges were reiterated by c.
X. Field and the rest of these Lawyers, in
Bar-rooms and all places where they happened
TO meet with the supporters of the then admin
istration. And now, these same political
gamblers are striving to raise themselves to of
flee and power in this state, by a similar false
charge upon the administration of our state
Govt. But mark me-ifever these men should
get THE control our state government, our ex-
penses would soon be double, yea, trebled for
the good of their party-they go on the princi-
pie that the "Spoils belong TO The Vctors."-
But suppose the election in Tennessee has
gone in favor Of Polk and more unfavcrable in
some of the other Western states than we ex-
pected, what then are the Wings Of Vermont
to be frightened or relax their efforts to achieve
the splendid triumph which awaits them ? No,
they have only TO stand firm and go TO the polls
and do their duty, to gain decisive victory in
this county and through the state.
The Tories of the western states are too dis
tant 10 be brought hither TO help their co-work-
ers in the cause of Executive mis-rule here, TO
gain victory over the people. What should
we say of the courage and patriotism of an ar
my who, having large superior force to the
enemy already drawn up for battle with victo-
ry awaiting the signal for the onset to perch
upon their banner, who in consequence Of a
shout of triumph from their weak antagonists
would quail under the savage shout raised on
ly to in.midate them and Withdraw from the
contest without struggle? Should we not
brand them with cowardice Would Ethan
Allen and his co-patriots have acted such an
ignoble part? Would the Wings of the rev.
oluiion have acted thus2 No, no. Then let
not The Wings discredit the noble name they
bear. Bot lei them Rally, Rally TO the rescue
and retrieve in some measure, the losses their
friends have met with at the West and their
name will stand sill higher on the rolls of po-
iitcal fame, as the most stern opposers of Elk
ecutiye usurpaiion aud arbitrary power.

Come out and do your duty and our country

spirit of the Wings Of '76--come with feelings
which shall point you out as the true lovers of
your country, and the true lovers of the con-
stitxtioa, come and show yourselves as true
followers oftrue Jefiersonian principles and all
will be well. Unfurl the flag bearing the in

"tyranny and Loeofocoism." March under
it-hghf under it-and ifyou fall, fall under it.
II is your duty 10 come TO the polls and VOTE
Ii is duly you owe to yourselves-io your
country, to your God. We know that we are
cohtending with the combined force of the tory
party with horde of tory ofIice-seekers and
lawyers who would grind the poor, honest la
borer into the very dust, but for the check put
upon them by the firm opposers of "tyranny
and injustice" Yes they would take the last
naorse from the mouth of the poor man and
send him Stacking for his bread, if in any
way il w'uld be the means of helping them TO
Office or Of increasing their power.
Give the tories the ascendency in this state,
and in the space Of a few short years, the stale
expenses would be increased lhreefold-thou-
sands upon thousands would be squandered for
eleciioneering purposes-the officers and their
salaries would be in a short Time increased to
an alarming extent-the whole power would
be concentrated in the hands ola G fen great
men Nth great minds" who care not for the
poorer or midding class of community, but just
so far as their votes are concerned, -they
would rule with the iron rod of oppression, aud
what they said or done, for or against any sub

pei Then will you vote for the tory candi-
dates :? Will you vote for men so obnoxious
10 the interests Of large portion of the people,
especially, the poorer class For the sake of
