Butcher the rebels! what business have these poor
men TO vote! We have enough such vermin to
trouble us with their sutlrugcs, already"
By the first blow that Ethan Allen struck in the
Rebellion of the people of Vermont! but it makes
ones blood hot hotter than lava to and hear the
nous doctrine of the Charter party of Rhode ISL
und-,axalion without Representation ;and a prop
erty qualification of freemen! Read the wing pa
pers lear the wings, See and hear them sneer
at Thomas w. DoRR, the most accomplished
gentlemen scholar, and statesman in Rhode ISL
and, but who has been hOaored by the despols Of
that State with the title of "railor," and reward
offered for his apprehension, that he may be sacri-
iced to appease the passions of men who are
hrsting, with the oppetes Of Glmishig tigers, for
his blood. Were not the noble patriots The rev.
oIution, these advocates of human rights, JOHN
Hancock, and SAMUEL ADAMS, were they MOI,
honorcd in like manner by George II who claim
ed the right to enforce taxation without rePresen-
alon upon the Colonies Gov. Dor has done
no more than they did, They labored TO overthrow
the enemies of free suffrage, so has he-and
of whatever crime he is guilty they also were
guilty.
They sheer, these poor tools of federalism, they
thy they express for the people of Rhode Island,
and they say, taunlingly march down there, aud
help your brother locolocos-your friends the
DOrriteS." Ay, traitors as you are 10 the prn-
cipIes of onr Government, to the rights and dgni-
ty of man, 'ce say to you, MARCH! Shoulder
your guns, as you did in the revolution aud the
last war, and march to the aid of your brother to-
rcs and their King, and while on Your way, steal
few cattle from the rebel poor men and drive
them along with you TO feed the hungry myrmi-
doms Of Tyranny so that, pcrchancc, being sulIeii
ed with the Gcyh Of beasts they may no longer seek
the UooiQf men, Your old tory bayonels have
grown rusty since the last time you nsed them in
the cause Of oppression. March! march to the
aid Of your principles and scour them with the
blood of the wives and daughters of men who
would be free. Get you gone. march! the land Of
Allen of Warner and Stark is no place for you!-
Here, men, poor men, too, are free To write and
speak and vote. A hired soldiery here cannot ST.
lence the press hired soldicry cannot, here.
thrust men into prison for wishing TO exercise the
inalicnabc right of free suffrage, A hired soldiery
here cannot enter the poor mans house who has
committed no other crime than daring to try to be
free, march him to jo rob and stab his wife,
and drive his children out Of the windows. The air
that rejoccs among the green trees Oh on, hills ard
over the beautiful rivers Of our yalics is contain
mated with your pcscrous breatl-and free aud
undetermined men, who revere aud love and lr-
owsfp all things that God has made, who be-
licvc that He made call men free and equal"
breath hard in your presence and wish you gone
March! do you herr! March TO the land Of your
kilh and kin,whcre yon can find fit companions il
the presence o" IA king, kings laws, kings
butchers, and nd the free people Of Vermont of
the cursed incubus Of your tory mushc,s, your
wing insolcnce and your federal principles,
