Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1842-09-02

| II has often been remarked and with great truth,
that the rcoplc Of no State in the Union nave nam
tanned their political faith with such purify tthi-
ness and cons Qstency as the Green Mountain boys
Ficl,lencss and change arc words not iouhu III our
vocabulary The sudden impulse and momchtoiy
nrcudicc which seems to decide the political char
acier of 10 many Of our sister states, belong neither
TO our words or actions. This peculiarly SO oitrn
alluded to with admiration by our neighbours has It's
oripn in a source no less crediiabe than tne lac'
itself II would verify appear that the th'hRlng
! habits of our citizens were formed ni'cr we suWe
model with our scenery. Bold, rigid ana iminove-
able-the Vernonler once determined upon any
movement can as easily be swcrVcd from his pur-
pose as the rocks or hills among winch ne dWels
could be stirred from their foundations Inc poIt-
;cni on;n;ons of our peopc have been formed care
Gillv deliberately, wisely No freak OF the hour,
no shouting dcmagoguc, sudden change IN the
popular current; Gut well formed princpie has
guided our legislation in past years And shall
this wise policy be now surrendered ohail mo
mcntary disappointment aud defeat drive us from
deliberately chosen principles and measures, which
wears have only confirmed? Because his Acciden-
cy John TYLER has proved traitor TO his political
opinions, shall Vermont follow his iootstcps'
Shone 10 us if such an unavoidable contingent
cy as the aposacy of President Tyler can irighten
he hardy sons of the Mountain from the support OF
a cause Hitherto so ardenty loved so enthusiastic
caly cherished aud 50 trumphantly defended
Our enemies proclaim that the wing majority IN
Congress have broken their pledges. The asser-
lion is false 80 far as the great body OF our dele
gntes are concerned The Congress have perform
ed n-every thing which was promised. Not
hey but President Tyler has become the Arnold OF
our cause, who has been enabled by circumstances
TO defeat all our efforts. Bill alter BILL framed in
accordance with principles and previous pro-
fessons that nscrean traitor has dared to nulllty
from his lofty seat OF accidental, pcstllentlal pow
er. For this let him answer 10 his conscience and
the country; but blame not the most interchangeable,
patriotic but insutcd Congress, the people ever
raised To power. The slandcious impuiahons up
on our respected Governor which the organs OF
Barber and his clique are circulating through ihe
State, are too papably false TO require rctuiatlon
The letters of the Governor 10 our Delegation IN
Congress indicate very plainly his zeal TO protect
the interests of our Farmers. He il a true Nhig,
an honest man, all who have the privilege Of his
acquaintance will testify. This charge, moreover,
comes with i'll grace from that party whose hol-
low prctcuce and deceit upon the great Tariff ques
ton has been so recently exposed. Has it not
been proclaimed through this section, that they
were not opposed To moderate protection? Have
not their Editors announced that Tariff, apart from
Distribution, was as much part Of their policy as
ours. Now mark their votes. when a few davs
since Tariff, with the smallest rate of duties and
without the Distribution clause urged through
the House in spite OF their utmost resistance Such
is the consistency of their politics. We have not
penncd these remarks through fear of any serious
dirclicton on the part of the Democratic Wings
from their ancient faith. We know it is mpossi-
bic for them permanently to torsake the ranks in
which they have often Struggled manlully and sue.
ccsslully. We fear not that Loco Fncoisn will ev-
or overslladow State. But there is danger that
snpincncss and division may leave the battle doubt
full. There is fear that the tricks and flseho0ds of
our opponents will make many Wings stay at
home, and disputes about minor questions lead 9th
ers to divide their ticket Thus union OF untow-
ard circumstances may leave us without a Cover
nor by the pcople and a half Loco Foco-half Abo-
lition Legislature. Such result every true heart
cd Wing would deprecate Come out then to the
Polls and bring your neighbors along with you
Mind rot little Inconvenience delay in bust
ness, when the grea, principles of party are at
stake. Come one, come all. Now of yore let
the note of victory ring loud and clear from every
hill top, and valley, announcing TO sister States
that Vermont at least true 10 the cause Let the
memorable words of Harry of the West be on
the lips of every Wing he marches 10 the polls
As for Captain Tyler, he Is mere snap--a flash
in the pan. Pick your Wing Aints and Try again
