The gentleman was empowered 10 withdraw
her savings, which she had deposited in The

whole amount was fire hundred and one dollars

Savings Bank, where deposiie exceeds 4he
sum of five hundred dollars no interest is paid

IS to sublon the following from the Harris

at the capita of Pennsylvania

that we cannot well get rid of--and we are

il has been said that the "lore of Gals begin

po,nt, without force, and utterly destitute OF
all argument by which he could hope to pull
the wool over the eyes of any intelligent
freemen Of Vermont, who knows her tyye
interests and loves her SOIL rocky and barren
though it may be. We have no design of
commenting to any great length upon this
speech, nor is it necessary. The gentleman
exposed his own fallacies too plainly as he
went along TO require this, and we could ask
Tor no better argument than his speech afford
ed, to convince any intelligent man of the Ut
ter dishonesty of Locofoco professions and
The utter hopelessness of their cause.
