Dear -:
have to inform you, with the highest feelings
of pride and qualification, that an express has this
day arrived at Mortified from Philadelphia, bring
ing proposals of marriage from Fanny EIlsler to
Col. Paine, our talented candidate for Governor.
1t would seem that the divine Fanny has some
how got wind of Col Paine's most wonderful and
extraordinary dancing ability, and is determined to
kotch him at all hazards.
1t is rumorcd, that Col p. declines giving Fanny
any definite answer till after the result of the cleo
ton is known. If he should be elected Governor,
he will, without doubt, accept her proposals, and
proud era that will be for Vermont What can
there be more ennoblng, more patriotic, than this
fact, held out TO the people, as an nducement for
them 10 vote for Charles Paine, instead Of that old
Tow Frock of Cambridge Faugh! it makes mo
sick 10 think of him.
p. S. Stir up p, and C. and II.
Truly yours,

Very well, lie. Vermont get her share, and then
let the people pay, TO make up the deficit in the
Treasury, caused by the abstraction of her share
in extra taxes upon tea, coffee, sugar. salt, and mo-
lasses, more than double that SHARE and see
what they gain by it. We say, let the 81 ,OOO,-

RENEMEER,

That the loco ioco leaders persist in supporting
the SUB TREASURY, with its hard money re-
QUESTIONS, in defiance of the expressed will of the
American people, and with the knowledge that it
will reduce the wages of labor Hatchman
Our friends orthc Tea-Iax Advocate are really
getting hard pressed. Werepcat the questions put
TO that paper last week, on the "wages of labor"
question. Is the sub treasury the cause of the Ad-
ministraton cutting down the wages of the opera
tives upon the public works. Is it the sub treas
ury that has induced the lords of extensive manu-
iacuring establishments, like Col, Paine, TO reduce
the wages of their hands since the wings came into
power' This foolish gable of the U'aichman
about the wages of labor, is so stale, and so well
known to have been, and to be, perfect humbug,
that, as we remarked just before, people must be
sadly pressed for matter to make use of it,

DEAR Sin: Tho President has finally resolved
to veto the Bank bill 1t will be sent in to-day at
IL clock 1t is impossible TO tell PRECISELY on what
ground it will be placed. lie has turned and twls-
ted and changed his ground so often in his CONVEX
satOns that it is difficult 10 conjecture which of
the nbsurditics he will rest his veto upon.
In the last conversation reported, he said his only
objection was 10 that provision which presumed the
assent of The States, where no opinion was express
ed, aud if that was struck ont he would sign the
bill, lie had no objection to the location of bran
chcs by the directors in the absence of dissent so
expressed, but whenever it was expressed the
power TO discout promissory notes must cease, al
though the agency might continue for the purchase
and sale of foreign exchange. However, you will
see his messas.
Our Captain Tyler is making desperate effort
to set himself up with the loco locos, but he'll he
headed yet, and regrcto say, will end badly for
him. He will be an object of eXecraton with both
pariics with one for yetoing our bill, which was bad
enough-wl the other for signing worse one
but he is hardly entitled to sympathy He has re-
fused TO listen TO the admoniton and cn,rcalies of
his best friends and looked only to the whispcrings
of ambitious and designing mischicl-makcrs tina,
havc collected around him.
The veto will be rcceivad without n word, laid
on the table and ordered to be printed Tonight
wo must settle matters as quietly as possibly, but
they must be settled.
