VERMONT EXPECTS EVERY MAN TO DO
HIS DIIrY

Nobly, one year ago, did they respond to The
call, and put 10 route the party that rallied under
the banner of Van Buren, and aided to place the
affairs of State and the Nation in the hands of men,
whom they expect in due time to carry out certain
principles aud measures vitality essential TO the well
being of the greatest number of the people OF the
United States
The men we secured, but time has not allowed
tie complete establishment OF principles and
our measures. We meet with the same party at
every pass striving with "might nnG main" 10

the dying injunction of the beloved HARRIsoN.

Now, Gen. Walton knows that his splendid
Tariff that he talks about, which follows on the
heels of his beautiful Land Bill, allows what has
never been before, coarse foreign wool to be inn
ported duty free ! SPIRIT Of the Age.
Here are five lines, containing only one gross
misrepresentation, and one lie which is doing
exceedingly well for the Age The Tariff we talk
about and defend, and which the locos oppose, is
not the new revenue bill, which is, we repeat, but
a temporary measure. Again: it is mol true that
coarse foreign wool has never before been allow
ed to enter duty free Wool, worth not exceed
ing cents per pound, has been free all through
the late locofoco administration and this only
is admitted free by the new revenue bill. Nota
whit ofinjury will be caused to the Vermont wool
grower if it is always free. Vermonters don't
wish to raise cent wool yet awhile. Perhaps
when the era of locoiucnism comes, and wages
are at 6 cents day, and land and produce redu-
duced in the same proportion, even cents a h.
for wool will be worth thinking about but the
people of Vermont have not got 10 that yet.

THE HARRISON APPROPRIATION.

As much has been said upon the appropria'

of the late President Of the United States, an in

IT is not so much the Tux that we complain Of
for we trust that every American citizen is will
ling to contribute what is his fair proportion tow
nrd supporting the government that projects him ;
but the idea of creating necessity for additional
taxes, by abslracting some three or four millions
from the Treasury, to bind still heavier burdens
upon the poor and laboring classes."- Patriot.
We are glad TO see our negbbor willing 10 pay
taxes for the purpose of supporting the govern
mentor rather for the purpose of paying THE
NATIONAL DEBT, which the late ocoloco nd
mnstraion entailed upon us. This has created
the necessity for additional revenue; and an OH
lection 10 raising money, TO pay this debt, would
come with very bad grace from locofoco. But,
the Patriot objects "to creating necessity for ad-
ditional taxes, by abstracting some three or four
millions from the Treasury" .Absiracting Are
Swartwout and Price and Boyd and Harris, and
the rest of the locofoco thieves, yet in Office !?
Why, the Patriot really seems to think that it is
yet under the old Von Buren, dynasiy This is n
Joke, though our neghbor only means to object,
that the public lands are diverted from the treasu
ry. 1t is so and we glory that it is so, because
it is right The treasury never has been entitled
to dollar from the public lands since the old war
debt was paid The lands belonged to the STATES
the old States ceded them on the express condi-
ton that the several states should have tho pro-
ceeds and every cent, which has been put into
The treasury from that source, has oeen "abstract
ed"--no fched-from the states in defiance OF
their constitutional rights. We rejoice that this
system of robbery is stopped, and that the old fash
toned democratic doctrine of Stale rights begins
to be acted upon. Long enough has the federal
government wresled the avails of the public do =
main from the states long enough ha, The lands
been used by demdgogues to buy votes; long
nouglI has Vermont been robbed of from $780, 600
to 100000 year, and her money squandered, as
much of it was for the last twelve years, upon
objects from which she derived not the slightest
benefit. The Wings have put stop to all this
they have divorced the lands from both the GRASP
of federal government and from the lapacity Of
trading politicians and SPECTATORS; they have Sc
cured to Vermont her own. To This the Patriot
Objects But what say the people? Let us heal

who writes so largely ON the state debit has come
out with another number with the title in bold re-
lief
"TlIE STATE DEBT NO. g."
We have looked ii through to see what sort of
reply could be made to our statement of the re-
al condition of the finances OF the state. But u
las, there is no rcpy-no denial not whit of
this Instead of meeting the point at all, there is
column and u half of the vest abuse of " Gen.
Walton" the senior publisher of the Waterman,
who, by the way, has not written one word on
this question of the state debt from the time was
first raised unto ibis day The black guardsm Of
the Age we regard as complimentary it is, too,
confession Of defeat. We make one extract from
The article, as it concerns not only us but the state
auditor:
But this stationary matter is curiousy mana =
aged through the whole family. The General
couples it with the State Printing. and the Auditor
reports 1t in the same way, without explaining for
what purposes it was furnished, lest the uulgar
people should make n noise about it. Verify, il is
high time that we had an Auditor of Accounts
who will expose smuggling, and that Gen. Wal
ton get his living 10y some other way than by
spunging it out of the State"
The charge of smuggling and spunging is the
bare assertion Ola man who knows nothing about
our accounts with the state. We do not couple
the state printing with stationary, in general and
uninelligible charges. The auditor of accounts,
Ddrid Pierce of Woodstock, needs no defence
from us, and we will therefore only say that his
annual report, ofwhich the Age writer complains,
is, and purpors to be, only mere abstract of Or
dcrs drawn, and not the record of nc counts n O,y
ed. 7 he auditors record is under the nose of the
Age editor, WHO can examine for himself and find
as he will fnd-that lie has published an accu'
saion against David Pierce and Gen. WALTON
which is utterly untrue.
