VERMONT THE BANNER STATE

Our majority Of over $4,000 overreaches all the
other States in proportion to the number of votes
given in the State. Rhode Island is the nearest
to our heels, but # we are not mistaken could
spare about thousand and half and then beat
our ambitious competitor. Louisiana, though she
has done nobly, is behind Rhode Island. Ours,
then, is the 'Banner State And what Stale de-
serves the compliment more than Vermont? She
has met and repealed every attack ofExecutive leg
erdenain to deceive and WOO her from the support
of sound Republican principles, and to bring her
to bow the knee 10 Baal. Firmest to resist corrup-
ton, and foremost in the charge upon the spoilers,
she Will now receive as complimentary to her
patriotism and fidelity TO the constitution the prize
proffered by the fair daughters of Louisiana.

Of the Green Monntain Boys, from which it cannot
