"MR. VAN BUREN's BRITISH COACH"

The British Coach story of the Atlas has no foundation
pendent ofhal paper. 1t turns out to be another "gold
spoon" story-al false. Several federal papers have pub
shed the following from the correspondent of that Ter
aciouS journal;
"MR. VAN BuREy's BRITIsH Coach. This lhayc seen
myself, and can bear, witness To the truth 0f Mr. Oglcs
statements. 1t is said that this coach built NJ Long
Acre. London and in the style aud finish Of the richest
gillcd carriages 0l the wcnlthicst nobcnan who dash
through Portland square, Portland place, and St. james
street, in the British metropolis II is further said that
when Mr. Van urcm imported his British state coach, and
splrnlrd British carriage harness. about the 18th Of July,
s32, nothing but the breaking out % the cholera IN New
York prevented such demonstration on the part ol the
coach builders and harness makers IN that city, would
have made almost hazardous for this plain, hard handed
Democrat to introduce another British state coach AT the

deprive the poor Wings of the smallest portion of the

The Globe publishes Gen. Davis speech, ac-
cOmpanicd by the following remarks
VERMONT WU!GEERY.

Alta late convention of war federalis,s in Yer
mont under the name of Democratic Wings,
DANIEL WEBSTER was very properly present,
principal orator and chief spokesman of the meet
ing. This is the same Webster, who in Il speech
delivered in Congress in 1914, made use of the
following infamous language -
'Sir, honor The people That SHRINK from
"a JFAREFARE LIKE THIS, IoppIaud
their sentiments and feelings. They are such
as RELIGION aad HUMANITY nc
TATE,oad such as more but C.ANNIBALS,
moud irish eradicoictfrom The humon heori.'
Such was the democracy of Webster, and such
is the democracy of the wing party in Vermont
Will the democrats of that patriotic state, act in
concert with the party, which takes lessons in pol
ilics, from the advocate of treason Will they
listen to the political dogmas of man, who denou-
need as CANNlBALS, the hardy soldiers ofthe
last war; viii the true friends of the country,
confdc in the patriotism of n party, which sum
mons to its aid from distant state, the man who
in the midst fwar-whcn the British troops were
burning our cities and invading our irontiers--dc-
carcd that the people were bound by sentiments
of religion and humanity to shrink from the con-
test Such was the language of Webster during
war and such was the language of his present
political associates in Vermont. With such men
with Horace Everett, Charles Marsh, Elijah
Paine, Inland Hall, Norman Williams, John Mat
tocks and their assOcatcs--the true democrats Of
the war; can have no fellowship. Their attempt
to pass themselves of for democratic whigs' will
be unsuccessful. Hundreds of honest democrats,
who have been deceived by the false prelenccs'
of those political swnders, are leaving their ranks,
Once more, the democracy of Vermont return to
the attack, They have erery thing 10 hope in the
contest, and nothing 10 ,fear, The days of dem
ocratc whlggrry' in Vermont is numbered. The
smnggcrs are draining their last horn of hard ci-
der aud are destined 10 find bitterness and dsap-
pontncnt at the bollom.-Coos Co. Dem.
