ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE
IlIICIEI

|
Hh'gs Of Orange County! Your country calls
for your services Not to labor for spoils but for
| right truth and Justice Not indeed, with any
hopes OF victory to inure' to yourselves although
your numbers are quite strong enough to die with
honor; but 60 give your enemy such employment
that he cannot leave you to crush your friends else
where. Happily, sound principles in the Green
.hountdln State are mpregDabe. VERMONT is
wing Citadel This even your enemies beLteue.--
Their fear that the county may not stand Wing
slege--their distrust of their troops, already
disguised with their leader--alone makes them
irembe.
N length The mask is off! The Fan Buren, par
y at Washington have already proposed to cui docn
the protection now granted to you on WooL and
! WooLENs. Here the same organs of their party
which have so long cheated their dupes, by preen-
ding they were in favor of more protection than
have had, now say, " Don't be scared! What good
has the Tariff done? II is too restrictive" Out
upon the swinders Let every Tariff man, with
his party, or in spite Of his party, join in denoun-
eng the base treason to the chief interest of our
state. For the elevation of one mainland for such
man you are about to be sold. The unholy
ambition of the Kinderhook Magician would use
you for political provender. Your rights are base
! ly to be bartered for southern popularity. Free
Trade IS wanted. For this votes can be had
! With votes comes power. Call up the conspira-
tors and brand them in the face forever!
Again ere your principles and men in danger
The death throes and convulsve grasps Of that
party monster Loco ocoiSm threatens the destruc
ton OF all those measures so invaluable TO your
country, and so dear to your hearts. The tariff,
distribution, one presidential term, sound curen-
cy, are all TO be hudded into one grave together
Already the ghosts of the Sub-Treasury, and Free
Trade, mingling with the galvanized bodies of the
Legtreasurers, seem bent upon having one more
clutch at their former prey. Grid on your armour,
then, and give these phantoms-these harpies-
their second death, from which there will be no
resurrection
VERMONT has never yielded, lit may be ga
confirmed defect Of character to the soft, persua.
sive magic Of Mr.. Fan Buren,, even while in pow
er; nor will the descendants of ETHAN ALLEN,
contribute to slower our people in the estimation
Of mankind" by weak submission to the impotent
anger Of one strpt Of authority and beref of con-
hdence " in the house Of his friends" Twice have
his proffered embraces been rejected with dsdain.
Age lends him no new charms. He seeks the ban.
ner with "the star that never sets"-shall he not
have banner with many stripes?
1t is duty you have imposed upon us to give
you tie signal of onset. This duty we now exc
cute by asking you to assemble in full political
harness at Post NILS, Injecting house) Ihetlord
on Friday, the 10Th day of April next, at IL o.
clock A. NJ. AT which time and place you will be
addressed upon the dangers which now threaten
you, and other political topics worthy of your grave
attention. Speakers from all parts of the county,
and some from abroad, will be in attendance. viii
you come? We shall see.
! Come prepared to sign Memorial against the
nefarious project for cutting down the Tariff.
That the political history of John Tyler may lack
no act Of distinguished vice, is supposed he has
been engaged in secret plot having for its end
the ANNEXATION Of Itras to the Union. Although
our opponents appear willing to become noses of
wax for this unhallowed scheme, we trust that you
will not be Indifferent but will come boldly forth
and forbid the bans. Let your Protest go forward
at once.
1t seems that our political advcrsarics, as reckless
of their own life as ours, have had it upon their
lips, (thatappears to be the sticking point" of their
champions courage,) to challenge us to "public
discussion" Our fears have not led as to seek to
have the challengers bound over TO keep the peace
and we shall at this meeting ask your leave to ac-
cept-Ir the challenge shall ever be received
| Who is afraid
'Ihrice is he armed who has his quarrel JUST
The Orange County Clay Club will hold their
next meeting at the same time and place. The old
Guard viii come up with heavy reserve to main
tain all the important positions wherever this gal
liant corps have planted the whig standards. The
light artillery never fail.
ALL TOGETHER, THEN, FOR THE FIRST
COUNTY RALLY!
