at Baltimore, the press Of the party are man.
ifesting a perfect ex,acy of delight in view nj
the satisfaction with which al! come into tho
harness TO support this ticket. Now fthc,o
gentlemen really believe what they urolessn
regard TO this matter, we give them much lo,.
aud as il is said that "where ignorance Is.
bliss de-" we would recommend that they
continue TO close their eyes to tie perfect,
apparent fact, that the nomination Of TN,
ticket has been received 10y nineteon-,wenty.
e,hs OF the, so called, democracy Of this state,
with astonishment aud modification, and that
their disapprobaion OF it has been openly
and unequivocalIy expressed.
And why should it not be sol How can
it be otherwise !! Upon no supposition other
than tina, the Independent ireemen Of Yer.
mont are willing TO sacrifice TO mere name,
their best interests, can il be for a moment
supposed that they will Weld obedience to
this last dic,alion Of the party leaders,
Would the Wing party Of Vermont be thus
led awayl We answer no and we cite to
the unit ersal execration and contempt which
from the wing party ofVerniont met the ,rai-
tor Tyler, as an evidence of the fact. The
members Of the locofoco party profess to 10
as honest, as devoted to tho cause Of prolec-
ton, as earnest in their hostility to the extern
sion of the slave-power, as are the Wings
II they are so, lei them now show it; and as
the Wings repuda'ed John Tyler when they
found him untrue TO their principles, SO let
them repudats the acts Of those who would
sacrifice at the shrine erected by Southern
demagogues, these rital interests of the
North.
As we'll nigh, it be required Of the free
men Of Vermont that they should vote for
Hov. Houston for President, as for Gor
Poih; pledged as he is in regard to the Tex
as question, and with views upon the Tariff
utterly hostile to the Interests of the free
Sla,es-and this The delegates at Baltimore
perfectly well understood. In nominating
men upon their ticket who were fully pledged
to support and carry out the views of that
portion of the South, who have ever shown
an entire hostility TO the Nolih they virtually
released from further service their Northern
allies, and it is in vain that they now at
tempt to divert their attention from this fact
by The laudalion of The private character of
their candidate, or by the virulent abuse Of
Mr. Ciay;-nor can they by the more ar,ful at
tempt TO raise new issues, keep from the eyes
of all, the old and governing ones.

We are in hopes that the merits Of the
waters of these springs will ere long oe more
highly appreciated than they now are. If
they were so, and the beauty of the country
in which they are situated was more gener-

would soon take high rank among the fash
onable watering places Of the day. We arc
glad to learn that unusual efforts have this
spring been made by the Hotel Keepers of

all who visit there this season, whether for
