FRIEND BENNETT
Among the many interesting letters published in
your valuable paper giving the public so vivid no.
ton OF the times, believe few, if any, have been
from Vermont. Perhaps a short chapter upon the at.
tdIis OF the " Green Mountain Boys" may not be un-
interesting TO your readers.
The political situation of the wing party in this
strong hold of whiggery, is by no means the most
| agreeable. Not that locofocosm is increasing but
the wings are becoming disguised, and care liule
about the result Besides, the general want of union
among the wings proper and conservatives consd-
cradle faction of the wings here are disposed to
form third party upon the abolitionist PLATFORM
slavery Is TO be the paramount question with them
and they are to have no connection with either Of
the otherpotcal parties Our present governor is
excessively unpopular He was not elected bv the
people, and never can be. If he has not sense
enough to take himself out of the way as a candi.
date the State must go loco this fall. His appoint
men OF Mr. Craftsio fill the vacancy in the United
States Senate, has not been very well received
We have better men for that station
Captain Tyler" has some friends among the
moderate minded men of both parties in this State:
but neither he nor Mr. Clay can ever receive the
electoral vote of Vermont
Scott will be our choice, and Webster before
Clay. There is much jealousy of the south among
the wings here, TO go for any southern man. But
VIII take INTO consideration the course of the po-
hucal aboltionists at another time.
Shall ! say something about our ladies'! God
bless them They are angelic creatures. They are
lust what yon might eXpect-iust what the invgora-
ting mountain air, and rural life, far from the con-
tamlnalon OF cities, has made them--he most health
ful beautiful, cheerful, ruehearted good tempered
ladies in the world There is nothing to render them
sckly languishing, helpless and sentimental They do
not lace too tigh-no one of them, if we may take
theirword for 1t, and they are often ready to sub
stan,iae 1t, If required, by declosure an actual

decidedly against late hours-so much so that even

perhaps more than any thing ese New England has
been indebted for the ability to sustain and even in
crease, her own population, while colonizing the
great west with emigrants, and filling the whole
world with Yankee adventures Even this prac-
tlce Is falling into disse Where it .tilpreyails the
parties are not apt to be up late.
Perhaps our comparatively rustic girls are less faci-
mating, less bewitching than some of the more ac-
complished = works Of art" in great towns but they
really have hearts that have not been chilled into

Irritation, no coquery about them. You must salts
~ them that you are IN earnest, before you can ex-
pect any avors; and then you forthwith rejected

loved you, or else repaid for your homage by a
warmth and durability of affection sufficient to sa-

Our young men are prone TO emigrate usually be-

splnsiers. 1t is impossible, without the Introduction
OF poygamy, to furnish every lady with that one
thing ncedtul, husband and as few of them are
disposed to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of
single wretchedness, they apt TO be very kind
and agreeable. The fear of belonging to the i'll

girls OF them. How much people, excited by u
strong motive, will accomplish This same state of
things, sometimes think, promotes scandal. If a
lady here does not shun the very shadow of the ap-
pearance of evil, her whole pounce upon her at

Judge or jury. They seem to think that virtue. like
any other commodity, is valued in proportion to its
scarcity, and you would suppose of them had
monoposed the article, were you to hear them talk
