the study Of these volumes TO every physician
who wishes "tO keep up with the times J" and those
who have fallen in the rear in medical science can
find no work berter calculated to elevate them
above the indoent and ignorant with which our
profession is SO much crowded. Finally, in the

A PARAGRAPH FOR OLD DEMOCRATS.

A PARAGRAPH FOR OLD DEMOCRATS.
The devotees of Fanny Wright, who worship
this modern goddess of infdey and radicslism
at Tammany Hall, N. Y recently celebrated the
passage of the Sub-,reasury bill, by public NEE
ting with shouts, firing Of cannon, &c. &c. AT
this meeting they adopted n declaration OF their
political sentiments, beginning in the following
language:
"When in the course Of human events, II be-
comes necessary for the PRESIDENT OF
THESE UNI FED STATES, and tho Senate
and House of Representatives, in Congress as
sembled, TO dissolve the pecuninry bands which
have SO long aud closely united them with the
monied powers of the country and to assume
among the states sovereignty the separate ana
exclusive right of receiving and discussing its own
revenue, SIC. Sc"
Mark it, ye people; when was our Constitution
altered and the PRESIDENT made The first branch
Of Legislative potoer? When, and by what author
ty was the old monarchical doctrine transferred
from Europe TO America, that The President, like
the King, is THE STATE? When was the LIST
section of tho second article of the Constitution
which says that 1" the Erecutiue potcer shall he
vested in Presden; of the United States Of
Anerico,"-so changed as to declare TINT the
President shall be the frs! aud highest branch OF
the Legislative potoer? Wesubmit these questions
to the people generally, and to I'LL old fashioned
democrats in particular. 1t was George WASH
ing.on who warned the American people to be-
ware OF changes in the forms of our Constitution
Forget not the injunction Of the father of his
country, Towards the preservation Of your gov
ernment and the pernanency of your present
happy state" suid Washington lis requisite, moi

DIRECT TAXATION by THE Federal.
GOVERNMENTS

BY the table in another column il will be seen
that Vermont has been annually cot.i hutng more
than SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
for the last four years for the support of the fed
era government while own state expenses
have been but nbout $4,000 annually. How
would you Ike nm addition To The DIRECT TAX.
Els, 10 be paid IN SPECIE, Of 100000? Com
pared with this, the loco loco attempt last year
add 10000 to our state taxes, sinks into li"ncnli
ty. Aside from the enormous burden of the lax,
| it would be ruinous fnanci ~ asure as
would all direct taxation by the feuvi.l govern
| ment thus for instance: the amount of specie
which would have been drawn from Vermont to
the federal treasury in 1888, would be. in round
numbers, S6S0,000 while the amount brought
back in disbursements in this state, would have
been not more than 100000. BY this operation,
in single year, Vermont would have been drain =
ed of S62OO00 ins specie. This is, and inevitably
must be, the operation Of direct taxation by the
federal government upon Vermont because, being
an inland state, the amount disbursed in it by tie
federal government, is, comparatively speaking,
infinitely less than the amount drawn from it,
Not SO with the state government for it disburses
,gthin The state all that it raises by taxation. hat
say the people of Vermont? Shall we go for tlii.
runous scheme? Shall we send men to Congress
who will have all the inducements of party inter
ests and party associations 10 play second fiddle tc
the devisers of this plan Or shall we 90 for the
"good old way"-rcvenue by Tariff? Let u.
stick to the safe and well tried plan, in preference,
, to exploded EXPERIMENT.. No direct taxation b,

Which IS the federal party? Oh: the Wings, to
be sure So say the federal Office holders those
men who have at least seven principles, VIZ the
five Ioaves and two fishes. Mr.. Van Ness too,
says the same thing. Now, he it known, that
when c. p. Van Ness changed his politics, imme
dately subsequent to the time when The democrats
defeated him in his attempt to get into the United
States Senate, he publicly appealed TO THE
FEDERALlSTS OF VERMONT 10 come to the
support of jackson! Whether it was in conse-
quence of this appeal or not, we do not say but
for some reason, the ultra federass, such as Bar
mum, Chntenden, Huiyht, and Sawyer did sup
port Jackson, in company with Van Ness, whose
| ambition had been disappointed and his temper
| soured, and so also did some oftheultrC democrats
who pretended to distrust j. @. Adams democra-
cy although he had enjoyed the confidence of
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. In This case the
extremes meet. and thus was constituted the Jack.
OH party. AT the same time, the great body of

and the more moderate of the ederaIists, opDoSed
