VINO ARE THE ABoLITIeNIsrs - While
Southern ~locofoco prints are endeavoring to palm
Upon the people the a~trocious falsehood that the
wings and abolitionists of the North have made
common cause together it would be well for
the unprejudiced Of all parties to see whether
facts square with these assertions. Here is a
Pregnant case
Last year in the towns heard from in Vermont,
Che l~ocotoco vote was S,l43, and the abolition
vote 1926. This year the l~ocofoco vote Is
1905 and the abolition vote 4,432. Last year
the wing vote was 20,l62 this year 22,963.
Thus it is seen that the locofocos vote has fallen
off 1,O45, and the abolition vote increased
1906. Whence is this increase derived4 Not
from the wings, for their vote has augmented
hearty 5000. The only rational reply to the
question is that the increased abolition vote is
derived from the locofocos, who despairing Of
heating the wing candidate by open fight, sneak.
ed into the third party, and by swelling thai
vote endeayored to prevent a choice by the
people. If the wings were a~boftionists, why
why should the abolitionisis refuse 10 vote Is,

THE WEATHER. FROST, BARBECUE, &c

THE WEATHER, FROST, BARBECUE, &c
The weather, as every body knows, was s'or-
full bad'' last week. On Thursday morning, it
changed suddenly, and became cool, and the
rain fell almost continually until Saturday night,
during which it cleared off, and became very
cold indeed. The night brought a heary frost,
and it has been so cold since that fire is absolute
y necessary in the morning for comfort. The
last two days has been rather more pleasant,
however. So much for the weather. Ofcourse,
it played hobbs with our
BARBECUE.
But the indomitahle Wings of Grand Coteau
were not to be banked, though the day fixed on
was one OF the most disagreeable ever endured.
The disappointment to great numbers, as great
as ii was, was not worse than the s'horrible im-
aginings'' created by the dull, murky, DRILLING,
chilly, pouring, hypochondraical mcanness o.
Saturday. Sunday, however, opened bright
just such a day as any could have wished, to lay
their faults at the ~footstool of Grace, and i'm.
plore forgiveness and better days. Ofcourse, W
attended church, and heard a good sermon.
But, in conne1ion with this miscellaneous item
there is another subject to be mentioned here.
Though the Barbecue came off, and the Demo
Gratis were invitedto eat and speak, they were az
the things that had been-not to be seen. W.
had supposed, from the preparations they were
making that we were to be exterminated at on
f own gatherings. But with their usual good ma
