THE "FORLORN HOPE"

The last Burlington Free Press, under the SUI
pcrvision ofthe Grand Dancers private Secretary,
speaking of the vote on the tariff question, in the
House of Representatives, holds the following
language;
We hope OUR ABOLITION FRIENDS will
remember this vote also before they do any
thing more 10 destroy the Wing party aud elevate
the Tories 10 power. In such an event what have
they TO cSpecl' They will perceive, by compar-
ng the votes III the Two cases, that the division OF
parties on this question is essentially the same as
that on the abolition of the 2lst rule denyin the
right Of petition. In both cases they will see
Northern Tores-l'hc Dough-lces of New
Hampshire and New York-eugued together
with the Siareholding Democracy Of Virginia
and South Carolina, in an infamous crusade against
the interests, the Liberty and Ldbor of the North
If this does not satisfy OUR ABOLITION
BRETHREN that their success in this country is
identified with the ascendency of;hc Wing party,
then no efforts Of ours can arouse them from their
dreadful deluson.
The meaning of all this is plain enough. If the
Aboitionis,s cannot be brought over to the ntres,
of the Autocrat of Mortified, the great expound-
er'oi the constitution is "used up man." Some
thing must be done, aud the Free Press is direct
ed to lead the "lorIorn hope" But it is too late,
and that paper can buster away at its Gown sweet

A WORD WITH OUR FRIENDS.

Many orour friends in this county are not aware
mtihey sadly neglect our interest in the matter
of Probate advertising Their custom is 20 let
their Attorney or the Judge and the Regis
ter publish their advertisements wherever they
please, and of course they go. into wing hands
In all cases whea our frieads hare advertising Of
his kimd they shouid name The paper in uhich il
is 10 appear, and the Judges and Registers who
are all gentlemen, will comply with their wishes
This is nothing more than right, and nothing more
than the wings expect Catch them advertising
Probate Notices in the Spirito HE Age! and yet,
the democrats of Windsor county have given to
the Wig paper every year since we have benin the
county, advertising enough 10 pay our board
This is 100 bad, and comes of neglect TO attend
10 the interests of their paper as the Cidercras at
tend TO theirs We mention this because we pre-
sumo our friends have never thought of ii before.
