10 The federal Van Buren, papers are publishing
wha; they wish 10 be understood contradiction
by TnpPan of his sayings on the Sub Treasury bill.
We have read the mass of words and yet we can
not avoid the conclusion that Tappan said in sub
stance what is alleged against him. The pretend
ed contradiction amounts to this-Tappan has Of.
fercd, go IS said' a thousand dollars to know the
author. To whom? whon? And why does no not
deny it over his own signaure' 1t looks like an
other Amstnd affair. Buchanan denied even what
he had sent OUT in his own printed speech, and
his followers collected his speeches and destroyed
them, when they found The people did not swol-
low his doctrines. So with Tnppan, perhaps, il
HE denies it Mt all. Tho long yarn Of the Van Blu
rem papers respecting this matter IS Evidence at
all that TaPpnn dld not say what he is accused of;
bur when We see any cDidenco will print it, -
jury of common sense would not hang dog on
such evidence, which was manufactured at Albany
most likely; and the letter pretending to come from
Washington all probability was manufactured or
forged at the same place.
IL Fappan s doctrines had been circulated anon @
the slave holders merely all would have been well;
but the trouble is the Wings circulate Them among
the free laborers of the north Reduction OF free
labor is what the south desire-to bring the north
down TO level with the slaves, which Is the secret
of their love for the Sub Treasury And the Van
BureniIes advocate the low wages policy, and cir
culate their speeches at the SOUTH but when the
Wings get hold Of them and scatter them among
ifeemen, The northern federal prints call them for

The genuine spirit OF 76 more thor
oughIy aroused in the Green Mountain State than
at the present time. The early gatherings of the
People in the winter at various places To respond
to the nomination or General Harrison, the avori,e
candidate Of tins State, in numbers and spirit, gave
out uncquivocal indications Of the storm which is
about to sweep over he ooean of Vermont politics.
These indications have been :han verified by
subsequent events WAC could have believed it
possible that 10 900 freemen could have been gath
cred together at single Convention, merely to
make a nomination Estate Olficersa Nothing like
it-uothing approaching TO 1t had occurred be-
fore. Such AN event could not happen otherwise
than Mt n time when tho great mass of the People
were grooming under the heavy load of oppression
hoapod upon them by the arm of party tyranny
A deep feeling of wrong and ruined business and
hlightcd prospects, accompanied by an indomitabIe
spirit of resistance, must have pervaded the length
and breadth Of our quie, littlo State. Such every
sensible man knows to be the fact. Let the slaves

of the People, and their ombems and notices and
banners and songs-it has been The way OF all pan,

the crushed victims of lnisrue, like father lnqusIt-
lures and eer and mock at the calamnes Inflicted
on the Country and shout hosannahs to the authors
of them But the People will not be crushed IN
resisting. Vermont who has always been true to
her inciples--who has never bowed the knee Ia

and unanimiiy never before witnessed Her hardy
and independent sons, alike nsensible to the blan
dishments Of power and the terrors of party pro-
scrption-are impatient to show the Country what
a free People do when goaded to desperation
by the madness of party. 1t is not alone the Bur-
lingon Convention that speaks. The thousands
and thousands that came together at Vergennas, al

BRITISH INFLUENCE.

II has been said that If Van Buren, should be no
elected, il would be by British Influence That
the Tories in Canada are using all their influence
to aid the Van Buren, party we for n long time have
had no doubt. And that all the British influence
across the ocean that can be brought to bear in his
favor will be thus used is equally clear. Van Bu-
rens Neutrality Bill, and his other efforts TO sup.
press the rising spirit of freedom in Canada, and
his partialty towards England manifested on The
Boundary Question, all are lookedEupon by the
British Tories us demanding from them their infiu-
ence in his favor. And he will have it, The po-
sition Of the Boundary Question is now moro de-
cidedIy favorable to British interest than it has
been for years, and the British hope and expect, to
settle this question pretty much in their way

southern policy, free trade low tariff. Then
England, by her pauper labor floods country
with their goods and brushes mechanical and
manufacturing interests. Is this not clear? The
following dialogue records an actual occurrence:
Mr. CHADWICK The following interesting dr.
aIogue recently took place the line as between
thee office holders of Her Majesty Victoria I.

cant phrase "Britsll Wings" much in vogue at

region, during the last rebellion, for not mnding
their own business, they, in their turn, will have
no less cause of complaint against u.s. rthe officers

Van Buren, any else on that side of the line
in their political manoeuveriug.

HJ'The House of Representatives have consum.
mated The inlqny long since resolved on OF voting
IN tic five intruders from N. Jersey. The min,ri-
ty of the Committee have made able Report ex-
pressing their opinion that from the evidence rs
presented three ofthe Wing claimants were EMIT
led to their seats, and two of the V. B. men, and at
the time have expressed their conviction that
in truth and in fact all the Wing claima MIS- were
legally elected. Well, the sovereign State of N.
Jersey must submit to the injustice that has been
inflicted upon her by the power which is stronger
than right. Her nsulted freemen are rallying for
another conflict with energy and enthusiasm
which will teach the mnons of power to respect
her broad seal IN future.
