for County Com mitiee.

G5 The Campaign on the part of the Brit
ish Tories in this State has fairly commenced.
We have wondered why they were not more
active; why they did not bestir themselves
long ago. The mystery is now solved. 1t
seems they have been waiting orders from
head quarters. The great Convention al
Woodstock has been held, and every Tory
now has his part assigned him. The watch
word Of the party is not as in days Of yore
"Smilie and Bank Reform" but Dillingham;
and Anii-ltiasonry, or ifthat wont suit, Dill
bingham and Aboiitionism. These are the
watchwords by whose potent influence the
Tories hope 10 rally their scattered forces and
carry the old Green Mountain State. They
have found 10 their sorrow that the freemen Of
Vermont would not be gulled by the hue and
cry of "Smilie and Bank Reform" and they
now hope by taking another tack "to come ht
Paddy" over the hardy yeomanry of the
State.
Are the sturdy farmers, mechanics, and la
borers of this State going to swallow this bait,
and thus be caught in the meshes OF the Tory
party. No, they have too much discernment
400 much good sense, we are persuaded, for q
moment, 70 be led away from the firm princi
pies upon which they have ever founded theil
hopes and efforts. Such tact, such stratagem:
may do in some States, but never will they
influence the freemen Of Vermont, who Intend
30, and will do 'their oton roting and hei,
osca fighting" unaieed by any porer.

= Yet with all these professions, one of theil
number, was of the nominating committee al
the late Loco Convention al Woodstock, tina,
nominated ED. Barber for 1t. Governor A
man who for the last few years has been in
rapid succession, national republican, anti-ma
son, Jackson, abolition, Van Buren,, &c. &.
Have these gentlemen received new light, OIL

rubber stamp they can twist and turn, wind

For the Phenix.

Mr. Rvther-Sir, allow the old farmer
little space, once more, in your paper this
week-for the editicaton OF your neighbor
who prints the Democrat. so called, and his
editors. Will you be so good as to insert in
your paper the following extracts from the
Albany Argus published in 1918.
They will shew what the Democrats OF
1928 thought Of Ge:. Harrison. You
will find in the Albany Argus, Of March IL,
1918, the following editorial remarks:
"'rhere is an elegance approaching sub
Unity in one passage in the general orders
of Jan. 2. 10 the Northwestern Army under
Gen. Harrison. These orders were issued
in consequence OF the return Of detach-
ment from a successful expedition into the
Indian country. The detachment had or
ders among other things. ITO saue The ieomen
and ehildten and 10 spare The ioGrriors rho
ceased 10 resist" After thanking The de.
lachmentfor their attention 10 this order, the
general order proceeds:
Lei an account Of murdered innocence be
open in the records Of Hearen against our
enemies alone /; The American soldier wiii
toiio,o The example Of his government. and
neither the sloord of the one ioiH be raised
against the helpless or The fallen, nor the gold
of The other paid for The scalp Of a massaered
enemy"
Again in the Albany Argus Of Sept e.
1918 you may read the following remarks
major Croghan---lhis gallant young
American has added new luslre TO his char
acler, by repeling The insinuaiions which
had been promulgated prejudicial TO Gen
| Harrison. He states that the order for him
10 abandon and burn the Forl, was not de
livered 10 him ill il had become imprudent
il not impraclicable, TO retreat, by reason o
a far superior force of the enemy, having al
ready surrounded him"
He therefore wrote letter 10 the general
calculated TO deceive the enemy, and which
he supposed would fall into their hands. !

rested; but on an explanation taking place
his sword was Immediately restored.
j THE measures adopted by Gen. Harrison
(says Major Croghan) so far from deserving
eensure. are the clearest proofs Of his keer
penetration and able generalship."
In the same paper Nov. 2, 1918 the Ed
ilor said,
1--WE have the satisfaction OF announcin,
to our readers, lha, the United States brig
