Paine, we believe is graduate of Harvard Uni
verslty, and if this be an objectionable offence in
the eyes of the people, we shall not seek 10 Initi-
gate IL. After leaving the university, we ore told
that Col. Paine found his fnther in embarrassed
circumstances. Instead Of attempting to obtain
profession, he engaged laboriously in the drudge
ry OF the manufacturing business, and even dis.
charged his fathers liabilities, when under no e-
gal obligations to do Let il be distinctly un-
derstood that we DO not reproach Mr.. Smile for
the humility ofhis scientific or literary n,tninmenls,
or the means by which he has obtained them.--
God forbid that we should ever be so mean, so
contemplate, as to do so.
Col Paine is aristocr1tic IN his manners This
charge is one very easily made, and we must con-
fess, it is one not very easily answered. It comes
to US IN such a questionable shape, we cannot
even speak TO it. II il difficult TO tell what is
meant ny The charge, and we very much doubt,
whether those who prefer it, can tell us what they
mem by 1t themselves. People talk about aris-
tocracy IN this country, MS though it was some
'h'nS really existing among us, instead of being,
as 1t really is, the bugbenr of the detnugosue and
The despcnbc cant Of the political hypocrite. Ev-
cry rich man is spoken of as an nristocrat every
poor man MS democrat when, in fact, neither
lstocracy or democracy nrp, strictly speaking,
known In our institutions. Our government is
REPUBLICAN, where the supreme power is vested
III The hands of representatives, elected 10y the
people. Tint Col. Paine is republican in his prn-
clpes and i'll his manners, lave not doubt.
Whether lie makes n how 80 gracefully as Mr..
Smile can, or modula,es his words and phrases,
WITH so democratic an air, ure questions which re-
ally we shall rot lake upon ourselves the trouble
of deciding.
But Col. Paine is a pro -slapery man And who
told us This? Wns it those who have been de-
ncunciug the nbolitonsts rs federa,ists, as mis-
cradle degraded faction? No, snys ono. it comes
from aholitioniss themselves. Yes, from those
who are denouncng each other, in terms bitter
MS any they employ against their most sturdy OPP
ponehlS We must confess that we have rot been
over nnxious 10 learn the opinions of Col. Paine
on tic subject Of slavery. Fiom the resolutions
passed by tho legislature OF Vermont and the votes
tllat have been given by our representatives in
Congress, we have taken it for granted that when
II permom Whig is denounced as n pro-snvery
! man, the denuncialion is cruel, iberal and
blnck hearted SANDER, and the denouncer is either
a hypocrte or an honest enthusiast That honest
differences OF opinion may exist among ourselves,
m relation to This subject, is doubtless ruc that
those differences of opinion have iut little, if
any thing to do with the discharge Of tie duties

Congress, wherever they have power to ACT, in re-

give up his claim 10 society," when ne asks you 10
