ENORMOUS CONSUMPTION OF TEA

One Of the most remarkable facts in the die,

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS. -. How
THEY DO 1T. A correspondent of the Phil
adelphia U. $. Gazette, who was at the YER
mont Wing State Convention. pays the fol.
lowing just compliment to the Green Noun
tain Boys.
1t has always, till now, been somewhat
surprising to me that, amid all the party iluc-
,ualions of the country, IN which almost eve
nv other State has at times ft,crrd and
siiuweu ,,"'I',o'', Ur:...."e;hli'y in the "-
cause, this has held on its course with uni
form fidelity, until it has acquired the appel.
la,ion which i, richly deserves, of the" Star
that necer SETS" But of this praiseworlhv
s,eadfas,ness have now, think, discerned
the cause. 1t is to be found, apprchcnd,
in the combined results of the intelligence
and the systematic political action Of the
people. Every man in the Wing ranks feels
il to be his imperiouS duty, and takes special
and habltual pains, thoroughly to inform
himself on all the great interests of his coun-
try-and then, every school district in the
State is organized in permanent political
association, that is auxiliary to General
State Associllion.-By this means, the party
Is able to number its adherens to IA man !;
and ifany are doubtful, they are Immediately
supplied with means and sources Of Informal
ton, and, if honest inquirers after truth and
duty, are eventually brought fully into the
Wing faith. To illustrate the force of this
arrangement, and the character of the peO-
pie, let me refer to a fact related to me ~
an eve witness A leading locotoco orator
from an adjoining State, IA few days since,
was holding forth 10 one of the most noun
famous town in the State, TO mass meeting,
and after having exhausted all his energies
to convince the people that his party and its
leaders were in favor Of IA protective tariff,
(for both parties here are the firm friends OF
protec,on,) he was asked at the close of his
speech, "if he would object TO a Wig ma
king some remarks - to which seeing none
before him but plain farmers he replied will,
leer on his lips, as though the idea of an
antagonist there we're ridiculous, that " he
had no objections none whatever" AT the
word, up started man with sun-burned face
and callous hands IA plain, working farmer
with his coat hanging on his arm, and spoke
for an hour, with such clearness and force
and traced With such exact minnrnes.

ENlBLEMS.

For the last fonr years all the Locofocos,
bio and little, throughout the country, have
rontcnded increasingly that the Wings dis
graccd themselves and the character Of the
country by the adoption of political emblems
such as log cabins, &c. Upon tins one SUBJ
iect the Infatuated Locos have cursed TIL
they have cursed themselves black in the
face. They have cursed about it more than
about all their other grievances put together.
And now, fellow citizens, it is, we assure
yon, fact, that the Locofocos Of New
Albany, AT their ratification meeting on FRI
day evening, made an exhibition Of all the
POLK STALKS they could procure in the
neishborhood. The apartment, IN which
their meeting was held, was hung around
with polk stalks their candles were set up
in polk stalks and not few Of the lndivid-
uals present had polk stalks hung about theil
persons. These infatuated DISCLAIMERS against
the outrage of adopting emblems, such as log
cabins, are now so mad after cmblems il
their insane and silly efforts to get up little
enthusiasm, that they actually adopt as THEN
emblem foul and sinking wced-a weeC

Thot smiled as woke on the dreamy couch

Nor smell such sweet perfume;
Aud if there be udors as sweet as these,
IT'S that have lost my bloom

On the landscape bright, where pictured hef

And the next good thnnI was fain to love
Was to SIT in my cell alone,
Musing o or all these lovely things,
Forever, forever flown
Then ont walked in the forest free,
Where wanton'd the autumn wind,
And the covered bows hung shlycringlY
In harmony with my mind
And spirit was on me that next loved,
That ruleth my spirit still
And maketh me mHrmllr these sing-song WORDS,

And walked the woods till the winter came,
And then did love the snow;
And heard the gales through the wild wood alses
