government TO anticipate and provide. as
far as possible, for all these contingencies.
Il is urged against banks that they are
nften badly and dishonesty administered,
and frequently break, TO the injury and
nreiudice Of the community. | am far
from DENYING that banks are attended
with mischief and some Inconvenience
but that is the lot Of oil human InstItu>
f;ons. The employment of steam Is Of
ten attended with most disastrous cnnse>
a,erces. Of which we have had recent
melancholy examples. But docs any body,
on that account, think Of proposing to
discontinue The agency of stream power
either on the land or the water? The
most that is thought Of is, that ii becomes
our duty 10 increase vigilance and multi
ply precautions, against the recurrence Of
accidents. As 10 banks. the true ques-
lion is, whether the sum of inconvenience
Of dispensing with them would not be
greater than any amount oil which they
are productive? And. in any new char
tiers that NAV be granted. we should n
,onsly endeavor TO provide all possible
restrictions, securities and guarantees
against their Encouragement which reas-
on or experience may suggest.
Such are my views of the question OF

MEETING EXTRA.

meeting at the town room Saturday evening.
E. W. Drury that Pink of Democracy, in the
chair. Among other attempts at hoodwink-
ing the people. he undertook to place Polk
and Clay upon the same groundsin rel alton
to the Tariff. Barber and Drury have
several times in the Loco Club tried the
same experiment. A grosser insult to the
understandings of the intelligent people of
Vermont never was attempted. But the way
James M. Slade Esq. used up 4. Clair upon
this subject was a caution. To make hisde-
ceptions more palatable this man claims to be
a minister of Christ. and a true disciple of
John Wesley, but as different from tina, emf

III GAME OF BRAG.

Certain Of our good Loco-Foco friends
hereabouts, like a few of their brethren in
Winchester, Va, are just now fierce for bet
ting on the success of Polk Betting at best
is bad enough, but the man must be crazy,
absolutely, who thinks Of betting on the head
of Jas. X. POLK! We wonld as soon throw
our wallet into the fire, aud hope to double it
in the operations las expect to win upon stakes
put up in view of the Free Trade and Texas
Candidate being elected President of the U.
Statesll The joke is too rich by more than
one half! The way in which this 'brag' bust
ness was met and answered IN Winchester,
aforesaid, was by declaration from Bushrod

Winchester Republican in the terms and man.

Wings Triumphant,
nj MiStakeH

We understand that the little clique Of
Polkats who preside over the meetings of the
Middlebury loco Club, affected to be almost
delirious withjoy at the result of the Louisiana
election. Led on by that ablest of the trium-
virate of the party, the expost master at the
last meeting, the followers three times shouted
pictory, rictOry, for the result of the election
in Louisiana, and then denounced the lying
Galaxy. Poor fellows. They now look fool
ish enough. They could not bear to have it
otherwise, and determined to be merry at the
least glimpse ofhope, for fear disappointment
would suddenly prescribe all future chance
at even outward exultation. Some of the
locos have indeed boldly proclaimed that the
Texas fraud would sweep all opposition away
at the South to the Polkat ticket. Indeed
the wings themselves from the mighty blazon-
ry which was given TO Polk and annexation,
were not without their fears of the result.
But the magic power of the villainous an
n~exation issue has been broken. The depth
of the Texas excitement has been completely
fathomed. Whether Boudelon is elected or
not, the wings are essentially victorious in
Louisiana. The locos have been beaten up
on the very ground which the wings conceded
to them. Beaten too where they brought to
bear with the most powerful effect the argu-
mcnt of annexation. And if the wings arc
now victorious on the frontier of Texas, what
hope has locofocoism at the North where the
Texas scheme has riddled the party complete
II, and utterly disorganized them. Last
( year the locos had all the Congressman
The wings have now gained one, and we hope
two. Last year the locos had the Senate 10
TO Z, and the wings the Houses and majority
in joint ballot. This year the wings have the
House by an increased majority, and an in
creased majority in joint ballot. The Jour
nal of Commerce says the wings have now a
majority in the popular vote. But while
writing the above the following probably very
reliable account from the N. Orleans paper,
the Tropic, which contrary to oui impression
last week is wing, met our eye. The victory
is so complet as to satisfy us that Louisiana is
safe for Henry Clay next fall.

a principle put into n practical operation
would meance the existence, IT 1t did not
certainly sow the seeds OF a dissolution
of the Union. Ii would be to proclaim
TO the world an Unsuitable and u%nquench-
able thirst for foreign conquest or acquIsl-
ton of territorv.-For if to-day Texas be
reqired TO strengthen one part OF the
C~onfederacy, to morrow Canada may be
required to add strength to another
And after that might have been obtained,
still other and further acquisitions would
become necessary TO equaiize and adjust
the balance OF political power. Finally,
in the progress of this spirit of universal
dominion, the part of the confederacy
which is now weakest, would find itself
still weaker from the impossibility OF Sc
curing new theatres for those peculiar
institutions which it is charged with be-
ing DESTROYS TO extend.
And now FELLow.C CITIZENS Does
this letter show that MIR. Clay is as ready
TO rush TO the standard Of Texas as Polk,
even if with him he were ready to tram
pie upon the pledged faith of the nation,
and involve the country in d most unhoiy
wal with our unoiIending sister republic.
The basis upon which he lays his op-
position TO annexation is too noble and
Patriotic for such a small specimen OF a
man as james X. Polk 10 conceive.
Mr.. Clay plants himselfupo the opinions
of Mr.. Jefferson, declaring a similar
measure unconstitutional. Throughout
the whole letter he goes against the utter
lnexpediency of annexation on the ground
of the influence il would create on the
balance of political power between the
two great sections of the country, detesis
it as Introducing a new element oil dis
cord into the nation, and explicitly de-
clares that he would by 10 means have
Texas annexed in opposition 10 the wish
cs of any C considerable and respectable
portion of the Confederacy.

A MEETING OF THE DEMOCRACY OF
Monroe County opposed to the extension
of Slavery has been notified at the Court
House in the city of Rochester signed, BY
those who claim to be democratic repub-
%licans, heretofore acting with the locofoco
party, and those whom the Albany Daily
says, are known to the editor as among
the most respectable members Of that
party. This is what might have been ex-
pected, from the honest and consistent
members Of a party whose leaders seek to
use it for no purpose connected with the
public welfare. We doubt not that thou
sands upon thousands of the patriotic
members of the party will pursue the
same course, and evince their sincerity
by voting with heartfelt satisfaction for
Henry Clay. The notice is signed by
one hundred Democrats.

CLAY AGAINST DUELLING.

Mr.. Clay like almost every spirited and
high-minded southern man, in days long since
gone by, gave in TO the odious practice o.
dueling. II was the fault ofthe age and ed
ucation, and probably if the noble-hearted
mill boy Of the slashes suffered the insults Of
the domineering aristocracy of Kentucky to
pass unresented he would have been ranked
among the base born pelebiars and never
more heard of by the world. But Henry Clay
long since renowned the practice of single
combat and declared that 'bowever heretofore
| might have done or by inevitable circum-
stances be forced to do no man holds the prac-
tice Of duelling in deeper abhOrrence". Let
our readers peruse the article of Slander Of
Henry Clay on our first page.

LOUISIANA.

The Wing majority in July 1910 was
2075 on Congressman in Louisiana. In
November 1910, she gave, with the excep-
ton of four Loco Parishes not returned,
1926 votes for Gen. Harrison, and 1915
for Van Buren,, being a majority of 1850
for Harrison. In July 1912, at which
time many voters leave for more healthy
places, there were between sixteen and
seventeen thousand votes cast for govern
or, and gave the Loco candidate, Mouton,
1857 maj. In July Is43, the J ocos cleo
ted the whole four Congressman by AUS
maj. This year with the whole force of
Annexation, they have had a hard run, be-
ing doubtful which party has succeeded
OIL the popular vote. In the last legisla-
tn e a United States Senator was chosen
to supply the vacancy of Judge Porter de
ceased. The votes in a full body of both
Houses were for Henry Johnson, Wing
SO, Walker, Loco 37-blank 2. On the
I'd ballot Johnson had 80, Walker &c.
blank 2. johnson had only one majority.
If the loco foco anne ation party have
anything 10 brag about in louisiana, let
them do it, we do not envy them their
happiness.

HOW HE WORKS 1T.

To show what reliance is to be placed 90
ST. Clair, since he has come to town no has
declared that in VI. he is a loco,and when in
y. H., a Wing. Such is the wire in aud
wire out policy of a man who is constantly
urging upon the people the maxim, that YOU
must do no evil that good may come, a say
ing true in itself, but so grossly perverted by
such men as St. Clair as to lead people to do
evil continually. Our maxim is to choose
the least between two evils. and vote for
Henry Clay altho a STAKEHOLDER, if we can
thereby prevent slayeholdiug, avert the hor-
rid evils Of free trade, annexation, the exteu-
sion and p%erpetuation of slavery, the dissOlu-
ton of the Union, and a prostration of all the
great pecuniary interests of the country.

Louisiana Election.

One Hhig Congressman gained!-Fire hun
dred gain in another Congressional district!
4 Wig gain in both branches Of the Leg
isldture-iRd an increased majority 0 n
joint ballOt!-4 Whig majority in the State
Convention
The returns OF the late election are all in,
with the exception of the vote of Il single par
ish, and the issue is of a character to cheer
the spirit of the most gloomy and Responding
Wing in the Union.
We have diminished the Locofoco majoii-
ty in tine Senate by the rejection of that pre-
cious demagogue Thomas Green Davidson ;
we have increased our majority in the House
from four to EIGHT; we have gained one
member of Congress certainly, and possibly
TWO, and we have secured a large Wing and
Conservative majority in the Convention call
cd to amend the Constitution Of the State
All this we have achieved in spite of the dis
reimbursement, by fraud and violence, of one
Thousand Wing voters in this city-in spite
of the Texas humbug-in spite of the croak-
ing dependency of our Wing friends in all
quarters Of the country.
Let our brethren abroad be of good cheer
let them strengthen Louisiana in 'the
work Of well doing by their cordial gra;ula-
tons and fervent sympathy. The Wings of
this good State will never give up the ship
never falter in their onward course. They
have responded in trumpet tunes to the Balti-
more nominations-they will repeat that re-
spouse in the autumn, in a manner that, while
it will carry JOY and gladness to every Wing
heart, will cover the hopes of Locofocoism in
the State, as with a funeral pail"
We claim the result in the Fourth District
as a Wing victory, whether Morse or Borde-
Ion has been elected by a majority of a dozen
votes. That district last July gave Gen. Bos-
sier, Locofoco, FIVE hundred majority. We
have annihilated that majority, and that is
glory enough for one day."
