THE MEASURES OF THE ADMINS
TRATION.

1t appears to be the wish Of the opponents OF
the Administration to shelter themselves from
the responsibility of not acting upon the mea-
sures proposed by the Executive, by exciting ri
diculous rumors of disagreements in the Cabi-
net and wicked fabrications touching the private
characters Of the members Of the Cabinet. The
cause that requires the aid of such instruments
must be thoroughly rotten, and those who have
availed themselves of such unworthy means
will find, to their cost, that such course will
not be sustained by rejecting and generous
people. In vain does the Administration de-
mand trial upon the merits Of its measures,
and request to be sustained or condemned ac-
cordng to their excellence or effectiveness
This is exactly what their opponents in Con-
gress do not want. They fear the result of the
appeal and therefore take especial care to pre-
vent the trial SO anxously desired The views
Of the Executive must be either good or bad
if good, they should be adopted for the sake of
the country; and, if bad, they should be reject
ed at once,>in order to put an end to doubts and
let the community know what is to be expected
The country implores the Government to do
something to regulate the currency and equalize
exchanges; and, in answer to the appeal, the
Executive presents scheme which, in its OPT
MON, will at least go far to effect these objects
What does Congress do in the premises? Lit
orally nothing. Day after day is spent in petty
squabbes about cerkships and points of order ;
and, in the meanwhile, the wants of the people
are disregarded. Now, we will say this on be-
half of the Administra ton. let Congress act
upon the Erchequer plan, and let it 60 into
operation, and if it do not answer the purposes
for which it is intended, the Administration is
willing to incur all the odium of the failure. If
Congress believes the Executive to be in error
then the readiest way to prove that such is the
case, is to put the matter to the test and thus
cause the withdrawal OF all confidence on the
part Of the country. 1t is our decided opinion
that Congress KNOBS that the measures of the
Administration so far from being wrong will, if
carried into effect, make it decidedly popular
with the nation, and is afraid to let the issue 90
before the people. We ask, is such course
worthy of the legislative council of great ma
ton and are not those who avail themselves
of, we had nearly said, such pitifu subterfuges,
entitled to the hearty condemnation of all good
men. Persons may talk as they please about
party distinctions and interests, and assume

Inc,dent at the Convention.

Messrs Editors:-Many inquiries have been made
(showing tho interest that is felt in the maer why
nothing was said in the recent State Convention,
about the "Star Of the West"-IIenry CLAY; as in
many of the State Conventions recently held to wit:
North Carolina, Georgia, &c. his name has been put
in formal nomination for the Presidency in 1874
But lest some may from this fact infer that the men,
bers ofthe Convention felt disposed to put the cold
shoulder towards him. let me relate one little incident
that occurred, which tells more strongly, perhaps,
than any formal resolution could have done, their
feelings towards this eminent Statesman. The Con-
vention met in the forenoon at the Town Hall, but
owing to the great number ofdelegates present. was
so crowded as TO be announcement for doing business
The President, the venerable Horaiio Seymour, pro-
posed that when they adjourned, they should adjourn
to one ofthe large churches in the afternoon il it
could be procured Just the Convention was about
oleave the hail. member rose, and in reference to
the weather, as it had been raining all the morning,
and being clay soil, the ground was quite muddy,
said that he hoped there would be no difficulty in pro-
curing larger house on account of the convention
carrying too much Clay in with them. One general
burst applause broke from every part of the assem-
bly,, at this sally of wit and pointed ausion the VEN
cradle President crying out mo fear of that NO
lear OF that we cannot carry too much Clay with us
any where" This spontaneous expression showed
where the feelings of the Convention were, and they
represented, without doubt, the feelings of the wings
ofVermont.

Childish as Ever.

The Montpelier Patriot says the nomination ofMr
Paine is evidence sea' nc Wings wish to protect
the manufacturer at the expense fthe wool-growe,
because Mr.. P. is manufacturer! wonder o
wise men, and be astonished, o We ignorant Wings
at such manifestation of intellectual power!1
On the same principle, then, the nomination of
Mr.. Smile is evidence that the ocos wish to pro-
tect the twenty-five per cent money lender and note
shaver at the expense of those whose necessities
compel them to submit to any demands purse
Baron may make, because Mr.. S. is a noted hard
faced money lender and stock-jobber.
The Patriot further deposeth and saith:
so it is natural that the federalists should ally
themselves with the great moned and trading inter-
ests, who have hundreds of agents at Washington
exerting their influence to shape the legislation of
Congress to their advantage and maintaining that
the farmers OF Vermont can raise wool at 25 cents
per pound. We look upon the nomination at Mid
dleoury as triumph of the manufacturers"
We look upon the editor of the Patriot as a stupid
ass and a confirmed knave in politics, or he would
not have again disgraced his sheet and his own
character by repeating that "25 cent wool" SANDER

PoLTCS-THE DISCUSSION

Injured to hardships, and accustomed to necessary
toll, and thus did they educate their daughters
Health contentment and plenty smiled around the
family altar. The damsel who understood most
thoroughly and economically the management of
domestic AFFAIRS and was not afraid to put her
hands into the wash-tub or to "lay hold of the
distaf for fear of destroying their elasticity nd
destroying their snowy whiteness, was sought by
the young men of those days as a ftcompanion for
life, but in modern times to learn the mysteries of
the household would make our fair ones faint
away; and to labor comes not inso the code of
an odern gentility.
Industry and frugality will lead to cheerfuness
and contentment, and contented wife tends great
ly to soften the asperities and smooth the rough
paths of mans journey through life. 1t has
been truly said, pleasant and cheerful wife is a
rainbow in the sky, when the husbands mind is
tossed with storms and tempests; but dissatisfied
and fretful wife, in the hour of trouble is like
thunder-cl oud, charged with electric fluid.

Popery in the Nineteenth Centurv.

The Rev. Mr.. Winslow of Madras, opened an
evening service in private dwelling near the Ro-
man Catholics. These Immediately made great
opposition, sometimes throwing stones and brick
bats at the people when assembled, at other times
disturbing the congregation with every kind of
noise, annoying them by burning blue lights near
the place of meeting, into which were thrown sui
phur paper and deleterous drugs and finally by
burning the building.
In the last report ofthe Protestant Association,
Eng) it is stated, that decree of recent date is
in existence at Nice, by which any one attempt
ing to convert Roman Catholic is sentenced to
three years at the galleys. A decree lately sent
forth in the kingdom of Sardinia, compeis the
Waldenscs (who are protestants) to sell the prop
erty they have acquired by their industry, beyond
the limits of certain district and retire within
their own valley. Rev. Mr. Hinsdale writing
from Mosul January 4, 1912, says "recently
wax image has come from Rome possessing the
divine power of remitting, for certain length of
time, the sins of those who honor it with kiss

The last veto.
ENQUIRER.

The Boston Daily Advertiser and the Boston
Atlas, both ably conducted papers, but very pa.
tient and forbearing in their Tone especially tow
ard President Tyler, speak of the last veto, as fol-
lows
The Advertiser says
"The object ofthe veto, therefore, was not to ar.
rest any wrong Legislation, even according to the
Presidents view, in the bill vetoed but TO arrest
an act of Congress on another bill now under dis.
cussion Such proceeding strikes us as in the
highest degree irregular and unconstitutional 1t
is the exercise of the veto power for purpose far
different from that for which it was Tolerated
and in a manner to afford stronger argument
than anything which has before occurred for with
drawing from the Executive the veto power alto

In Senate to-day Message was received from

the Senate, transmitting a report from the Secreta
ry OF State, the Correspondence between this Gov.

read. In 1t, Mr. Webster referring to the letter of
Mr Bocanegra, the Mexican Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, denies that this Government has encoura

against Mexico; states that the u States do not
regard Texas as belonging to Mexico but, tooe.
