Pomroy, and that band of reasonable conspra,ors
who lived in Burlington and Windsor, in those
days, John Henry learned, how far the "malcon-
tents, if they should obtain decided advantage
would exert lhpt influence to bring about scpa-
ration from the General government, and how far
in such an event they would look to England for
assistance" With these men he consulted, and
was advised what information to give TO his en-
p'oycr, Sir James Craig. From these men he
learned the plans, the hopes and the determine
tons of the Washingonians in this state. BY these
men he was told to communicate to his master
",hnt, in the event of war "TIIE STATE OF
VERMONT WOULD TREAT SEPARATELY

BY these men he was told ihat--God of our IA

sIDERED AN ALLY or GREAT BRITAIN!
By them he was told to inform his MASTER
" every thing tends to encourage the belief, that
the DISSOLUTION OF TIE CONFEDERACY
will be accelerated by that spirit which now ac-
,ua,es both political parties" In ,rcasonab'e
meetings with these men, he chuckled and gloatcd
over the hope of such an event. And these men
