LocOFoco PROFESSION PUT TO THE 1EsT.-Ihe
! LocoFocos are constantly pratng about their
love Tor the farming portion of community.
To hear Them talk, if one did not know their
hypocrisy, We should really think they enter
tanned for Them real PLalon,c affection. But
As words are sometimes nothing but mere
sounds signifying nothing, and professions
however sincere, the merest mockery IN the
world unless proved bya corresponding course
Of action, let US pul their protest. and their
prac ices in opposite scales and see which
side kicks the beam We canaot better do
this plrhaps than by examining the several
candidates for office that they have brought
forward Def rr the people for their support, as
10 their differe nj occupations in life. And III
asnuch dS they profess so much love foE the
farmers, and as that professor constitutes The
great class of community in the State, we
shall erpect OF course TO find The farming in
teresl duly represented in their list of candid
a;es.
First then is Nathan Smile and State re-
form," II long and successful career as a
respectable grocer, in which business he sue
ceeded in amass.ne debts to iar-c amount
against his neighbors and townsInen, and can
celed them by taking mortgages of their farms,
constitute "NathaL Smile aud State reform"
IL
other sense, but he is in fact grocer and an
extensive dealer in codf fish rum, and m tasses;
unless it be that he has recently relIaquished
the busin S..
Next comes Edcard ID. Barber, man
''every thing by turns and nothing long," has
finally consented to serve his country in
the capacity of Lieutenant Governor, Of the
State OF Vermont. provided he can be elected
| ,,
seem to.be represented much in the person Of
Z. ID. Barber.
Next comes Daniel Baldtcin Of Montpelier
he loco.oco candidate for treasurer, OF him
we know but little and care less, other than
that he is a respectable merchant in thu pace
where he resides. The farming interest ON
the state ticket of the locofOcos seems TO be
rather leGJl let US see how the locofoco can
didates for senators IN the County of Wind
sor stand. The first three Jon their ticket.
Raymond, Gay and Charles Edmunds are all
of IN IN small dry goods dealers in their res
pective towns, do, we suppose living bus
mess, and are content with it as they should
be- The last one mentioned, Edmunds, is
beauty; f one has ever seen him once, they
will never need o. ask for his name second
time, he's a delicate skim milk gentleman "a
little garlirkY now and them very nice
pretty spruce Young man, there is as much as
we can afford to say in his favor TO day The
forth Mr.. John P. skinner of Windsor whose
occupation in life balances somewhere along
between that OF horse jocky and stage pro-
prietor, completes the list
What a farming lOring party the ocofocos
are. OF all their candidates from the hIa he-t
10 the lowest, that they offer 10 the frt eman
al windsor Cnuntv fOf their sunnnr, nor mo
WIN is prac ical tller ofthe soil, and still they
clamor loud and lou2 about their love for tie
farmers. Is not there an intelligent farmer in
the State who is locofnco that they could
have put III nomination? We trrst there is
none who is joky at heart foI what earthly
reason can there be 10 Undue an agriculturist
10 become lOcofoco suIpasses our powers to
divinatIon.
Shame on such miserable shameless hvpoc-
risy Wing .AdvGcate.
