from the Gazette, also the answer, which by
Inserting in your paper you will confer favor
on the young ladies Of Bennington.
From The Termoni Gazette.
Mr.. Editor, ! would take the liberty to en-
quire OF you whether il may be considered a
breach CT poliieness and good breeding for the
managers OF tea-party 10 which both political
parties are invited, TO insult a potion of the
guests by the display of sugar iog cabins.
with embematic flags and motlos, representa-
tons OF the Presidents mansion with a carica-
lure OF Mr. Van Buren, sneakng out If tho
back-door, &c. &c.
An INVITED GUEST. :
W. We are at a loss what answer to make
70 the queries OF s'an invited guesi,n as there
appears 10 be Neu Era in the school of no.
likeness. Formerly, no young lady or gentle-
man would have been guilty OF such breach
OF good breeding and common politeness. and
II might be well al any other time 10 recon
mend that their Mas should send them to a
school OF good breeding, if il should not be
considered as time and money thrown away.
ANSWER.
Mr.. Editor; In looking over the Vermont
Gazette saw communication, signed ''an
invited guest'--my FIRST feelings were those Of
anger, but in taking second look was much
amused at the strength of riiv.d displayed BY
the writer in the art of Loco fabrication lin
which the writer appears to have arrived at a
state OF perleclion) tina, all angry feelings were
lost. But before proceeding will state what
the writer's saw. cake made 10 the form of a
pyramid npon which was placed a sugar cabin
with the United States flag 10 miniature, with
this motto, Harrison & Reform from this des-
cription any candid man will come TO but one
conclusion, which is, that he is beneath the
notice Of an honest man. A person who will
thus assail acommillee Of Young ladies should
be secuted from society. The writer's charges
are LIST. That a potion Of the guests were
insulted-tbis, no doubt il such be the case,
the Young ladies' are sorry 10 hear, as il was
far from their intention to make political
party, and no gentleman would consider him
self insulied. End. A display of sugar log
cabins, embematic flags and notices as TO
this must say he is good at MULTIPLICATION. as
there was but one Cabin flag OF motto. Sd.
A representation of the Presidents mansion,
with carricsture Of Mr.. Van Buren, sneaking
out the back door, as to this charge il is utterly
false, and without foundation; but il appears
that the feelings Of the writer have been
wrought up 20 that pitch he was unable to dis
,inguish the Gag Of the United States from the
mansion Of Mr.. Van Buren. His thoughts
have dwelt 50 often upon The appearance which
Mr.. Van Buren, will make al the coming e,ec-
ton, that be could imagine no other way in
which he would have appeared even had be
been there, which was moi the case.
r. S. As regards the answer Of The Editor
il is 50 Far beneath the notice of the ladies'
aha, all the reply shalt make TO than is, The
ladies regret they had not his advantage in
learning the rules Of good breeding and com
mon poiiteneSs. TRUTH.
