what we mean, and we have but little fear
of the criticism of the old saddebags Of
a "sick' town representative, who says
that "betore and after are synonymous
terms" Such meeting of the democracy
as was here on the fourth, always troubles
the coons. We tell our friends abroad we
had glorious meeting-and although ii
was got up on the evening of the great mass
coon-yention, and at short notice, we have
not seen so large company together and
so much enthusiasm and good feeling dis
played this long while. These meetings are
very calling to the coons-and especial
y so, when democrats, in coon sink OF
in;qulty like this town, dare get together
without asking consent of the coon man
midwife. Let the democrats of every town
ir the state hold such meetings according
to their numbers, and Vermont will easily
be redeemed from the thraldom of federal
Ism. Go to work boys, and get up your
meetings and suppers, Don't mind the
"howling OBJ coons." "a barking dog new
er bite" SO give it to 'em. n

c. G.. EASTMAN, Esq,,-Dear Sir-Moro
good news our way. Our County mass meeting
was held at Sheldon. II rained with little inter-
mission all the day long, but our democrats can
stand anything and they assembled there in tre-
nendous numbers. The best judgement that could
be formed Of the multitude present was that j,
could not be made different from 1000. Without
any e.as seralion, stake my veraciiy that this is
as near the truth as can be got.
Yours truly.

This is the sentiment said to have been

editor Of the Galaxy to Greedy and Neil

We understand that his master offers said
animal for sale. He is very docilc and well
broke to the hnrness-but on account OF
his LATE SWELLING, the "sick town repre-
sentative" fearing some fatal result, offers
to dispose of him. We can tell ola num-

shouldn't happen to "bust" So who buys!
We hope no coon will take this as per-

fit any one, he may wear it.

POLITICAL PAPERS. LYING.

How strange it is that some political pa
pers should be continually attempting to
deceive, by lying to their readers. Such
stuff may create capital for them a short
time, bu, it is soon found out, and GOV ers
them with disgrace as such contemplate
meanness ever ought to. We are led to
what few remarks we shall make upon this
subject, by the assertion of our opponents
that the Age is in the habit Of lying. Now
we deny this charge There NEVER was
an article published in the Age, that
has bcm or can be proccd false. To
sustain us in this assertion We appeal TO the
democracy of Windsor Co. and the State.
We know there are many political pa
pers which do thus attempt do deceive
their readers-and on this account we la
Dor under a disadvantage. The Age be-
ing political paper, and our opponents,
knowing that their papers are in the habit
of stating tina, which their editors know
Is false, suppose, as matter of course,
that we occasionally have to resort to the
same arguments to refute their vile SLAM
ders. But we tell you there is no need of
this-lhe TRUTH Condemns and proves
them guilty Of falsehood. Just to show
that it is as we have said above, we will
state what leading coon of our village said
TO US the other day. 1t was as follows, cr-
bqtim:
"What in h-ll do you want TO lie so in
your paper for! know the Mercury lies
like the very d., and that it's Id
poor thing! but you need not lie so just
because the Mercury folks do"
There, candid wings and democrats you
see now why we are charged with falsehood,

CHARLES G. EASTMAN, JAMES OlIALLo-
RAN.
Mr., Lindsey on being conducted to the
chair addressed the convention in a brief,
but pertinent and appropriate speech.
Mr.. Hunt then arose, and stated in sub
stance what he conceived to be the imme-
diatc business before the Convention. He
regarded the usual fOrmaites of commit
tees unnecessary on an occasion like the
present, where the people themselves had
come up in their own proper persons to
nominate as candidate for the freemen's
suTrages the trusty and well tried men of
their choice. lie wished that this matter
might be left in the hands of the people,
and moved that the convention proceed to
the nomination of State ticket by ac-
camation. The motion passed, and the
last years ticket was unanimously adopted,
each nomination being confirmed by three
tremendous cheers:
For G0ccrn0r,
DANIEL KELLOGG, Of Rockingham,
Far Lieut.. Governor,
WYLLYS LYMAN, of Burlington,
For Treasurer,
DANIEL. BALDWIN, of Montpelier.
On motion, it was resolved that a COM
miltee OF five be appointed by The chair,
to draft resolutions, expressive of the views
and principles of the Democracy of Yer
mont. The chair appointed the following
gentlemen said committee
J. 7. Mars,on, E. d. Barber,
Elijah Farr, Henry Adams,
J. B. Danforth.
Mr. Hunt then moved that a committee
of one from each County be appointed by
the several counties, TO nominate two can
didates for Electors at large. After some
discussion in which Messrs. Davis of
Windsor, Hunt of Franklin, Barber of
Addison, Noyes of Lamoile, Villas of Or.
ange, Cahoon of Caledonia, and others,
participated, it being suggested that i:
would be desirable to have the proceedings

in the presence and hearing of all the
people, the greater portion of whom on
account of the vastness of the multitude,
were compelled to remain outside the
whole subject was laid on the table, and a
motion passed to move in procession to the
green in front of the Pavilion Here a
staging had been erected, and on the
meetings being again called to order, E
ID. Barber was called for and addressed the
immense concourse for more than an hour
in stirring and eloquent speech.

marks, the motion of Mr., Hunt to appoint
