and their self respect. What face can these hard
cider brawlers make up to talk'about extravaganza
and rake up Ogle's old lies about Van Buren's
gold spoons" and "tabby ca:s"-whie they
are wasting their millions in their exuavagant,
wastefu management of the public interes,s'
We blush to think that any portion of the peo-
pie should suffer such miserable mpOsors to fool
and humbug them out of their senses!
Fire on the mountain! Run Gals, Run!
The citadel Of Federalism in danger
The Vermont delegation in Congress
neslectins the business Of the PeO'
pie to write home electionecring
political letters,
That most mugnanimous body, the Woodstock
Junto, have just received important accounts from
Washington. Mr. SIade. the great spit-upon has
sent on what he calls copy Of letter, written to
him some time last spring by Charles Paine, in
which that scholar and phlan,hropis expresses
himself in favor ofa IariG! That must settle the
question, no doubt. No body ever disputed but
that he was in favor Of a tariff, but let him say
VIVA, he will, he cannot make the people believe
that he is such disinterested patriot as to favor
tariff, that operates directly against his own in
terest! and, that such Tariff as the people of
this State will, no man IN his senses can doubt
His principle, at bolton, whatever he may say, is
revealed, distinctly in the language Of his organ the
Watchman, viz. " a duty on The ra,o material
is tar on the manufacturer" 1t ia for his inter-
ests to have duty as high on foreign woollens as
possible, and get the raw material as low as pos
sibe; consequently, if he can get foreign wool in
to the country duty iree-so much the better for
him-is it not The manufacturers of New Eng
land, Of whom Col. Paine is a prominent one, are
aboring with all their might to get up high duty
on foreign woollens, while foreign wool is intro
duced into tn, country at the loves, possible rate.
Col, Paine is in THIS combination of the manu-
factrerS, Heart and soul-lct him talk as much as
pleases, Who believes that he is a man to work
voluntarily against his own Interest," Ills interest
is directly opposed 10 that ofthe wool grower, II,
is for their interest to SELL AS HIGH and for his
to BUY AS CHEAP as possibe Does any man
believe that he will voluntarily support a'measure
that will increase the prices Of wool twenty cents
which he has TO pay' viii he'not rather endeavor
to keep wool at the lowest p,ice, while his
woollens arc protected' sit not for his interest
to do So Most certainly! And, we ask, how is
it possible that the woo-growcrs Fan believe thai,
Col. Paine, who is in tho League with the New
n"sl~"i Manufacturers to Keep wUul DOWN aud
bring woolens up. is going to be so patriotic, ont
OF all who compose the League, as to impose up.
on himself an annual tax of thousands and cheat
himself out of vast profits How dare they ,rus,
Il man whose in'crcs, ii is so plain to be seen is
dramatically opposed to theirs
This letter, of which we speak, is another al
tempt OF the monopolis.s of the State to blow
dus, in the eyes of the people and keep up the
falling dynasty Of old federalism in Vermont,
That is all there is Of it. Let the people be on
their guard and look out for 'rolrcs in shecp's
clothing"
Hon. llland Hall, 100, we understand has also
written letter to tho Junto--lo show that the
wings in Congress ale in favor ola Tariff. Well,
II they are, we think they have on odd way Of
showing il! Every a,iemp, the democrats have
made IN the House and in the Senate to b. Ing on,
vote on the Tariff has been put down by the
wings, lliland Hall among the rest, and now he
has the unparalleled impotence to write letters
home, attempting to show tina, he is in favor of
tarlil! lie talks and votes all the time in n way
that he kno~s w'H dcfcai The tariff bill, and vet,
prefeads that he is in faror of IT, Every thing
he does il against ii, yet he pretends to be for il.
Twice ,trait)r as he is to the interest Of the State
twice he has helped defeat tariff bill, and now he
writes 10 the Woodstock Junlo, the tools OF Jarvis,
Paine & Co., and tells them tina, he is in favor of
H. and they ask the people to believe H.! lie la,
helped on tax on tea and colee-he has helped
defeat the tariff bill-and here comes the traitor.
