VERMONT.

The Wing, Of this noble State, which las never
'aered yet in the discharge Of its duty had to con-
tend at the recent election with three several faction,
combined together With their old adversaries. tho
political nbouioniss and the third party men weto
united The result shows an increased Wing ma.
Jofity over that Of last year. In sixty SIX town,
poelthed in the Woodstock Mercury, Gov. Pare,
majority is 1927. In the same towns last year tho
majority was 57l against him. The net whis
gain is. therefore, in these towns, 1908.
The Mercury thus refers to the combinations
formed to overwhelm the Wings:
Political .7bol'tionism has done its utmost. An

IN the annals of political STRIFE has traversed ths

GETTING SRAIGHTt

The n. York Express was one OF the few Wing
papers which, for long time, continued to support,
or rather apologize for the Administration. While
others were convinced Of the ,reachery Of Captain
Tyler, and deemed him unworthy of oil confidence
and countenance-it continued to hope, and to in.
dulse the notion, tina, he would yet disappont the
unwecome anticipatons of all the world. Blu, that
paper has at last abandoned, and given him over

The time has come when it becomes necessary
Tor every Wing citizen 10 take bold and decided
ground against both the Executive and the promi
nent measures of the Executive National Admins
traton. We behold the novel and extraordinary
spectacle of Wing elected President abandoning
and abandoned by the men who gave him. and from
whom he received all the honOrs and emoluments Of
office. We see an anomaly not only OF the age, but
in the history of politics and Of mankind. The man
chosen by wings to represent wing principles, elect
ed bv an overwhelming vote over opponent OF
oil fsrent principles, has thrown himself into the
arms Of his old enemies, and wlonged, outraged and
denounced tho C 10 whom he owed every thing wor h
the having in his possession. That darkest of al
most all SINS ngraitude lies at the door OF the Pre-
sdent, and If it does not knock like n hend az his
heart, it is because he is more less than man.
Ambition is no excuse for MIR Tyler's course since
he became President. As the Executive officer Of
the Government, The has not been true 10 the &C.
vernmen. As the head Of the nation he has no, been
true or just man. As the President ofthe u. S,
m those social relations OF lie where the man and
the magistrate act together he has been treacherous
10 his friends, yielding TO his enemies and false 10
MS principles. Elected by the Wings he is no
Wing. Opposed by the Loco Focos personally.
morally and politically, he IS welded 10 them md
TO their principles. The men who scofed at him
and would have struck him down, II they could
and who even now ridcule Of heart, his person md
his whole course OF action, ara his bosom friends
and his boon companions. Nay more, and we say
IN true sorrow Of heart, the President elected by
tho Wings oil the Union 10 carry out and maintain
Whig principles, even seeks 10 win the favor OF his
old adyefssres and that by a sacrifice Of personal
independence and an abandonment Of the character
OF his Office Every advantage OF theirs, though it
be but wink or a nod, IS met by n twofold ad.
vance on his part, and often 10 an extent to make il
obvious 10 ALL that he is more anxious to seek their
iavor and their support than they are 10 render IT,

upon The side Of the President. What spectacle
