iel Of Henry Clay. This bride you woult
offer to the south to make them supper
whiggery, and would conceal the objec
from Vermont, under the pretcnce that il
is to aid the cause Of education Won
dcrful honesty.
The reckless bank expansions, set on
foot by wing Biddle, set the whole com
mnnity wild with the idea of becoming
rich by paper spcculations. The patriot
Jackson loresaw the impending ruin and
general failure, and lanced the gathering
sore, by removal of the deposi,es and his
specie circular, The wings all cursed
HIM because he caused their exposure
The public, however, became sobercd
and returned to industry, as the only
source of wealth. Business has revived,
and will continue to prosper, unless the
wings gain the aSccndoncy and start u
new u. S. Bank, TO which Clay is virlu-
ally pledged, 1t is laughabIe to hear you
attribute all these consequences of indus
try to the operation Of the tariff of 1912,
but anything to laud whigism.
10 please the aboItionis,s again, you
labor at great lcngh to prove what is self
evident, that Congress has 10 cunslitu-
tionaI right TO foster slavery; aud to please
the wings you praise the present tariff Us
the very model of perfection. Now Gree
ly says, that the reason why course wool
is admitted al duty Of five per cent. is
that the clothes Of the slaves are made Of
this kind Of wool. If your great oracI is
right then the tariff was formed 10 protect
slavery, and foster that institution. True
he asserts that such wool does not com
pete with ours, but this is false for that
same southern wool is now being extern
sivey manufactured in this STATE; yes, sir.
III your own town, Middlcbury. 4 speci-
men ofwhich wool | have lately seen pro
cured there, is equal TO one hnIC,bIood me-
rlno. The southern STAKEHOLDER aud the
Vermont manufacturer, are both interested
in keeping the tariff low on wool; though
the farmer suffers To aid this sIavcloserng
tariff. You are here with your usual tact,
very warm on both sides Of this mous,rous
contradiction ofprInciPIes. 70 foster the
slave system You say is unconstitutional
and still You are red ho, advocate, of I
tariff, which is claimed by its great advo.

the slayehoIder by providing him way to

The Woodstock age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1844-1845, 1844-11-07
From the 81, Adams Republican.
TO GOVERNOR SLADE.

| think the public will give me grea
credit for patience, when informed that
have read your message to the LcglsIa'
turc through; for it is about as long as 1
Presidents message to Congress, inyo!v.
ing the great matters which pertain tc
the nation. The most of your partizar
essay is probably copied from your worn
out stump eIectionccring speeches, gloss
ed over with few recommendations Of
education, which has been neglected since
whigism was.
Your message is just what predicted
it would be, if your object was persona
onicc-secking ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Party
spirit is lis leading feature; and it is a ia
nus-laced electioneering document, ad-
dressed to both wings and abolitionsts,
and seems designed to catch the votes Of
both, for it supports doctrines the most
incongruous, where these two parties dis
agree in sentiment. You mean to please
both and hence are at war with yourself
throughout.
You speak in high terms of the impor-
lance OF education. No subject is more
important than this, and consequently a
bad system cannot be too viz ilantly guar
ded against. You in fact make us Of this
as a strong argument in favor of the dis
tribntion Of the proceeds of the Public
Lands. 1t would, You say, aid education,
Who would suppose on reading this that
you were in favor of paying of the State
debt by abollshing our state school fund
And yet, carefully concealed as it s,you
do recommend that measure, for you en-
dorsc the wing report Of the committee
on education for l841, and you recon-
mend in high terms what is there contain
ed. That report, sir, contains the follow
ing:
IF the committee were at this time 10
propose any plan, it would be in part,
that the present state school fund should
be abolished, and the debt Of the state
paid"
This measure would rob the children
in Vermont TO pay the state debt, and
then you would clamor for funds lrem
the General Government to aid the cause
of education. Admirable consistency!
TO please the abolitionist Texas is
roughly handled, and you denouncc an
nexation, because you say it would aid
slavery, which you say is unconstltution-
al. You forget, or choose not to remem-
Der this, when you advocate the uncon-
stitutional scheme of distribution. You
90 heart and soul for that state bribery
scheme, though by it the southern stat cs
draw draw in proportion to the number
of their slaves. Thus you oppose an
nexation because iorscoth you are an alb
olitionist; and you advocate system
which enables the STAKEHOLDER 10 draw a
bounty on his slaves from the U S. Trea-
sury, because you are the whipped span

by the acts recorded in their past history,
is hostile to the great doctrine of the poIlt-
lcal equality Of all men, as avowed in the
Declaration of Independence.
THEY DON'T TELL THE PEOPLE
that the Federal Clay is hostile to the doc
Irlnc that men should enjoy the RICH, of
voting without regard to property Wit
ness the persecution of DORR, by the
Clay party, because OF his advocacy aud
efforts in favor Of this doctrine, and the
sentiment Of their great champion Web
ster, that it "would seem to be the part OF
wisdom to found government on PROPERTY"
THEY DON'T TELL THE PEOPLE
that the federal Clay party has always OPP
posed an extension Of the right of suffrage,
1t was so in Pennsylvania, New York Lou
lslana, and in every other state where n
proposition Of that kind has been advnca-
ted; and it is the sentiment of one OF their
leading journals, the Providence (Rhode
lsland) journal, that "trcc Suffrage is a
rHrse to any people,"
THEY DON'T TELL THE PEOPLE
that whatever may be the professions of
the federal Clay party, that party has ever
dcted upon the sentiment of one of its
great leaders, old John Adams, that:
"The people OF all nations are naturally
divided into two sorts-the gentlemen and
the simpIemen-the latter signifying the
common pcop|e, such as Farmers, Mcchan-
les and LaL0rcrS; and the former, the rich
e. portions, and those born Of more nofed
families" And again: "l'hat the poor
are destined to labor, and the rich are quail
flied Tor superior stations"
THEY DON'T TELL THE PEOPLE
that Henry Clay himself, in speech de-
Iivered on the Missouri question, February
Is, 1919, in comparing the laboring men
of the North, with the stare la5Orcrs of
the South, uttered sentiments entirely in
accordance with those odious ones to
which we have alluded, and thereby prov
cd himself fit leader for such party.
FINALLY.
THEY DON'T TELL THE PEOPLE
that Henry Clay and his leading followers
hold the re-cstahlIshmcnt of another BID
DIE BANK, whose design and tendency,
as proved by the history Of the past, Is to
"makc the rich richer and the poor poor
CT" and to tcrlllize the rich mans fields
by the sweat olihe poor mans brow.
These are some Of the things which fed
era speechiiiers, and federal presses, in
this region, do not tell the people; yet they
are all true aud can be substau,ia,cd by
the most conclusive testimony. Not one
tlousand--or ten thousand dollars reward
can bring forward the shadow Of evidence
to diSprove them; aud yet federal pohi-
clans, on the stump and by the press sIudi-
ously keep them from the public eye. And
whyl Because they know that they are
calculated to present the present Presden-
tia contest in lis true light, aud thus en-
sure the defeat of Henry Clay.

THE CHICKEN COCK ON LAKE
CHAMPLAIN-WlllG DECENCY.

During the last war with Great Britain,
a tremendous struggle was made by both
parties to preserve the navel supremacy of
Lake Champ!aln. Commodore McDonough
who commanded the American fleet, deter
mined to risk general engagement. So
confident was the British ofsucccss, lha,
Il small vessel loaded with British subjects
came into the Bay wnerc the battle was
fought, as spcctators,to witness the proslra
ton Of the "s,ar spangle banner" The
action was commenced by the British YES

says the historian, chicken cock, which
had escaped from one of,he coops on Nc
Donough's vesse, few upon one Of the
guns, and, by loud crow, seemed to hur
back defiance ON the naughty foe. The
instant this vas heard, the whole body OF
sailors, officers, and all, greeted the gallant
bird with three chcers.-Saiiors are nalu-
rally supcrsri'ous; and Mr. Cooper, in his
"Nayal History says, the growing Of tie
gallant rooster chad pOwcriM ctlec, upon
the known tendencies Of tie Scamen."-
During the battle, the chicken cock few
upon some Of the rigging, and from there,
far above The heads Of the comba,ants,
could be heard between the pauses Of that
fearful fight, the war cry of that gaIIan, aud
fearless bird. For this circumstance, as
well as for its prompt resentment Of any
invasion Of its territory. aud its deep rooted
hatred ofnd cOci invaders, the democracy
have adopted i, as m emblem OF their
principles.
