70 The Patriot is exceedingly charitable 10 the
- (actious locot,cos in Congress, and affects
not TO see how we dare Judge of their motives.-
We Judge them by their acts The Wings were
seriously divided on the bankrupt BILL some thlr
" OF them voting for It's repeal, aud among that
number several who had formerly voted for the
act. That division, 2arcu'al so far as it concerns
those who changed their votes, argues that the
measure not treated as party measure by
the Wings. On the Other hand, but about half a
dozen OF the locos separated from the main body
and voted against the repeal How happens it,
them that the ocos were so nearly unanimous,
when the " higs seriously divided /? Why
did the locos outrage their own previous profess
sions in favor of bankrupt law il it included
corporations, by voting against Briggs motion to
include corporations? There is but one answer
which rational man can give it was for fac
ious purpose II mere party purpose 1t was in
The same spirit that they opposed treasury notes,
after having year by year voted for such notes to
aid locolor" administration. 1t is in the same
spirit too We firmly believe that The loco focos, al
most 10 a man, unite with Calhoun and his clique
against The right of petition, against the land ail,
and against the Tariff II this is too undesirable
in the judgment of the Patriot, we will then say,
the true reason for The course of the ocufocos
must nc, that they are enemies to the rights of
man, and to the prosperity of their country.

5-y- The Vermont Telegraph copies a heinous
charge, nude on report, against the Secretary of
State, Daniel Webser-,he charge of crime
which would subject him to punishm enI in the
state prison adds that II is probably true, and Sill
peradls such AN ausion as will lead ITS readers
TO infer that the Governor of this State is guilty of
a similar Infamous offence, We do most fully
claim for the press, an particularly the religious
press, the right of rebuking inquy in high plnces
but when charges OF this sort are made wiihom
iolerabir degree ofproeEhe press is degraded from
The position of a conseryator of morality and good
order TO that of the common defamer and assassi-
nator Of private character. Where the Telegraph
does stand, or ought be ranked, it is not for us
10 say, until we know how much of its assertions
can be proved. This we can say the charge
against Mr. Webster has been directly denied, UNI
der oath, by Mr.. w. himself, and every clerk in
his department thus entirely rebulting the charge
against him, as the originator of 1t pretended
that holt dozen Of the clerks were witnesses TO
the alleged offence. And as to the alluson TO the
Governor: it is in connection with an accusation
made by some OF his political enemes-which has
been repeatedly denied by his friends, and to sus =
tain which, after reiterated demands for proof, not
one iota of evidence has yet been produced.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

At n meeting Of the Central Committee of the
Home League, held at the American Institute in
the city OF New York on the 10Th Of January
1912, the following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, it is universally conceded that read
juslrnent of The tariff should be made before next
july and whereas, the efforts OF those opposed to
any discrimination in favor OF American industry
have hitherto been success ul in preventing any
proper inquiry by Committee of Congress for
the purpose of laying before that body authentic
information as to the effect of such duties upon
domestic industry and the Interests OF the coun-
try;
Therefore be it Resoiued, That the friends of A.
merican industry, and reciprocal commerce, and
the supporters OF Home interests I've requested to
meet in National Convention in the city Of New
York. OF Tuesday, the 9Th of April next, Mt III o..

measures which shall tend to project existing in

terprse Of the country from The ruimous effects of

ReSotced, That the respective branches OF the

all agricultural, mechanical, Ilruuiacturlug com
mercla, aud internal Improvement associations

BY the way: Tie Patriot complains of Judge
Paine that the selection Of newspapers was not
left to the petitioners 4 strange proceeding in
deed would it he, to permit The petitioner, who
would he interested TO select paper which might
never reach his creditors to do this For wise
purposes the law compels the court to designate
the newspapers, and we take it the court could
not do, even if It wished to do so foolish a thing
to transfer this duty TO the petitioners. The
editor Of the Patriot is too much OF u lawyer TO
fail TO that the court was bound TO designate
some papers. We grant that The Patriot has a
right TO feel sore, because zoe are designated; and
so we find, lAveth Wing presses in Caledonia and
Franklin counties an equal right to object to the
selection Of their locoioco neighbors In this
matter we have no doubt Inc Court intended TO do
right. At any rate the Patriot is assured thar we
never inlerfered with the venerable Judge, even
so far MS to beg in o,r own behalf for the chance of
getting perhaps five dollars worth OF advertising
1t is our firm belief HAT we should neither shed
tears moi abuse the Judge, should he even now
substitute the Patriot for the Waterman in this
snnll matter.
