JOHN MATTOCKS, who is emphaticalIy
the friend Of the people.
Our adversaries are on the alert, and will
poll as heavy vote as possible for Daniel

vote like that of 1910. Let the true Whig
spirit be maniiested-let every man feel the
importance Of the election, and do his duty,
and all will be well. Our Wing friends in
other States are looking to the issue Of the
present struggle with no little interest,"
They expect that in the Mountain State ev-
cry Wing will do his duty, when there is a
necessity for it. Are we willing TO see the
Locofoco party gain the ascendency in this
State? Shall it be said that the principles
of that party are the principles of MAORI

VERMONT maintain the principles for
which you have so long contended the on

Is there a man to be found in the Wing
ranks, who will neglect or refuse to rork

whole country must AROUSE from the state
of Indifference that has come upon us. A
great battle has yet 10 be fought, to recover
what we lost through treachery We must

GEN. MATTOCKs AND HIS AssAu.
ANTS.

In the exercise OF their vocation few nj
! the locoiOco presses in Vermont have been Wis.
iting Gen. MattOcks with personal accusations
Of exceeding ness,-indeed so monslrous as
to carry with them their own refutation. excent
1t be with those who will not take the pains 10
think and Judge for themselves. We have
Questioned whether il were worth the while 10
notice these assaults, but as the facts are a,
hand we shall state them briefly. The first
charge is that Gen. Mattocks was once indict.
ed for swindline, and the faefs are these: in
1905. he was charged with taxing bills of costs
against sheriff, by agreement, without CON-
mencing suiIs-the costs not including officers
or Justices fees; The States Attorney knowing
that this charge, If proved, was no crime, gave
up the prosecution, and the General was Of
course acquitted. This is the head and 'front.'
and tail Of that accusation, and although the
drag net OF the Age has disturbed its forty
years rest ia the sea Of oblivion, we do not see
that 1t has gained honor for itself or accomplish.
ed any other object. The charge itself hvoly-
ed no crime, and il was unsustained. Wepa
TO the next: II amounts to this-though gar
nished with Accomplishments which we will not
PRINT even by way Of quotation,-that General
Mattocks and the estimable and pious lady who
for more than thirty years has lived with him
as a wife, nerer trere married! Thus boldly
do these reckless scoundrels invade the sanclH-
AIRY of private life, and TO crafty party malice,
hesitate not TO lay their pollutng hands upon
the fair fame Of as worthy woman as is 10 be
found in any community, and brand her very
children with disgrace! Nay, even more-iOr
nearly twenty years she has been member Of
a large and worthy church, (ihe Melhodist,)
and adorned her profession by devoted piey-
and ihfoDgh her, these base hbeers would i'm
pugn the church. Nor does the community in
which Gen. Mattocks lives, escape, for they
have repeatedly and once, almost unanimously.
with but one dissenting voice. sustained him
for high and responsible stations. Yet this
wholesale and utterly unjusIi6able SANDER OF
the lady, her children, and the church, (io say
nothing of Gen. Mattocks,) is made eren 9Th
out investigation, and the slandeIer has the
mighty magnaniRiity to say, that he shall re-
tract the charge if II turns out TO be untrue!
No language can be TOO severe in reprobating
such utter Injustice as this uttering Of infamous
charges, without even inquirng about Their
truth or falSity; but we need not enlarge upon
that. Suffice il to say that John .NGitOeks and
has present trife ,cere married on the 4ih day
of September, 1910. We make this declara-
ton BY authority, and the ocofoco editions may
govern themselves accordingly.

"w STATE DEBT. e1,"

We believe the time has arrived when the
Wing Farmers Of Windham County, il rightly
informed, will not believe the statements Of
our State Debt. We are aware that certain
Bawng, Back Shed Politicians Of The Real
Blue Loco Foco School, have harped upon
the State Debt for the last four years, with
all the pettyiogging ingenuity they could
muster, for the purpose Of misleading the
voters in this extreme part Of the State, where
the means Of correct information are more
limited, than in the more central Counties
We give below correct copy OF the report of
the State Auditor, directed 10 the General
Assembly Of the State, now sitting October
ID. 1s42. (See Senate Journal, page 40 Of
Appendix) II is however true, that the State
owes enough, more than we could wish il did
Bot the question arises, How came the Debt!
We say fearlessly, the great amount was con-
tTacted for to pay for that great piece of State
folly, the State House; and it was done thro'
the influence of Gov. PALMER, 1t. Gov.
EDGERTON, MARTIN FLINT & CO.,
then Antmasons, now LOCO FoCOS of the
true school.
The writer in the w. c. Democrat SAYS
Si02, 900 is all that was borrowed of the
School Fund TO pay for the State House.
Well, he may be right; or at Iess, VIC are will
ing 10 let him make his own figures, say
si0a, 900. II our memory serves right, the
state has occupied the House eight years.
years compound interest, IS s55S,50 IS in all,
arising from the State House Debt $751;
$50 IS. During the tl.ns the State House
Debt has been in existence, the State has also
supported a new branch Of government, viz:
the Senate, with all the necessary increased
expenses arising from the same; and yet the
people have been taxed only the old sum Of s
per cent on the grand list; and by comparing
the above statement with the Auditors Re
port, we perceive that the whole Debt Of the
State has arisen from what is called the State
House. Bot enough has been said. We give
the Report; feeling that the Wing Voters in
this County cannot have the wool pulled over
their eyes by this Loco Foco Humbug.
