this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-

ATIONISM IN VERMONT.

The Wings of Vermont have achieved
most decisive victory over their adversares OF
every denomination. Both LocOfocoism and
Sd partyism stand rebuked before the tribunal
of the enlightened and patriotic ireemen OF
the Green Mountain State. By adopting Polk
"a southern candidate with southern principles
an nvowed foe 10 protection, aud an open
friend ofslavery and annexation, the Loco
Focos have lost the vantage ground which a
northern mau falsy pretending to northern
principles had heretofore given them. A
popuIar majority of above ~ thousand, has
sunk Loco Polkism below the reach OF tn-
ture resurrection. Many of the party dis
daining the yoke of the domineering south
nho threw Van Futn overload at Bal

sr number have sheltered themselves in the
Sd party ranks. But il is believed that null
titudes of these eleventh hour prosolytes TO

nexation Polkism, " hich by nature they mus

The heart of the Liberty party is nearly
broken. They have spent themselves in the
most gigantick efforts, and fallen short by
thousands Of votes from their sanguine ex

of all other parties, and all the ultrarisms Of
the country. the Liberty party will hereafter
