FOURTH DISTRICT.

Washington and Caledonia, Orleans,
Lamoille, and Essex Counties, have an
important duty to render to the democrat
ic party of Vermont and of the Union, on
the 10Th day of November, in the re-clec-
ton of Paul Dillingham; to Congress
The present indexes all point to the the
success of the democracy Of the United
States in the election of James X. Polk
to the presidency.
The recent state elections are sure pre-.
cursors of victory to young Hickory, as
were the almost victories of the demo-
Gratis in state elections in 1923, when old
Hickory was in the field, The people OF
Vermont came to the rescue in the re-
election of JefIersoa for President The
Hero of New Orleans could not have
their votes, for they were hoodwinked by
the United States Bank and the arts OF
federalism. Everett and Phelps, Upham
and Swift, held the people in leading
strings, held their attachment 10 a Bank
of the United States. When the 18th dis
trict votes, It will be known in every town
in that district, who is the President
elect-.and since wing arithmetic
wing bubbles and their castles in the
air have exploded, the democrats will
have the qualification to cast their votes
for President of principle, of just no
tons of policy, who will sustain all the
great interests of the na:ion--right every
wrong, resist every oppression and main
tain equal justice, that the benefits, bur-
dens, and privileges of our government
may be spread in uniform proper tons
over our common country-who would
open the world for the barter of the pro-
auctions of our soil with those every
where who will buy and pay best. The
wings of Vermont will have to cast their
votes on the 10Th November, in circum-
stances of despair, having witnessed the
fallen fortunes of their lcader-their
hopes OF an United States Bank-of
expunging the veto power from the Con-
stitution of the United States will be BIAS
ted in the defeat ofHenry Clay, the a.

the wrong tack. You are in the tolls OF
the coons and so sure as you live, if you
do not wheel to the right abont YOU will
send federalist from the 4th district to
Congress, and We know you do not mean
to do that-we know you will not do
that.
Has not Dillingham; always voted as
you could wish' What then, will you
gain by his deleat' Will Chandler dc
better-can he do better? can anybody
do better? If then. as is certain, Put
nam cannot be elected, take hold for al
old faithful servant and do your duty tc
yourselves and your country. You mus
not disgrace the name of democracy
is too dear to you.

COON TRICKS.

The abolition paper at Montpelier is
laboring, with all its dark might, to show
that Mr. Putnam, the abolition candidate
in the 18th district is not COON Why
does not that paper show that p. is not
a Democrat The object of all this is, to
let the coons vote for Chandler the next
run--draw of all the democrats that can
be so dupcd, from Dillingham; on to Put
nam and then FiJsSeH them 10 Tie coons, at
the last hiaE This Is all there is of it,
and it is strange that democrats cannot
see into the game. Every democrat in
the 9TH district who votes for Putnam is
brandcd-"GOOD FOR CHANDLER
ON THE LAST TRIALw Putnam is
not cont then democrats can abandon
Dillingham; and vote for him--that dimln-
ishes his chance of success and then they
can slip on to Chandler just as easy as
the boy knew his father! Away with
such humbuggery Are the democrats OF
the 4th District to be sold like cattle in
the market? Who wsre they, who are
they that they have come to his! Sold
10 coonery' Oh democrats of Lamoille
Sold to coonery! you aiding the cleo
ton of coon to Congress! You, incor-
ruptible-who stood like pillar Of gran
lite, in 1910, electlng, in conjunction with
Washington Co. the on y two democrat
ic Senators in that disgraceGul year OF
hard-cider--you abandoning your proud
position of standard bearer Of the dcmoc-
racy of the state and aiding coonery! Oh!
johnson! Oh Stowe! Look US in the
face old SCARED veterans Of Johnson
look US in the face and account for this
How is it? Where are you' What
ground do you stand upon' You vote
for Putnam and you say he is democrat.
You call OH your brother democrats to
vote for him. Every democrat who votes
for Putnam withdraws one from Dilling-
ham. Ifthen you divide the the demo-
cratic vote between Dillingham; and Put
nam you elect Chandler by a plurality!
You elect Chandler--you elect coon
Don't you sec it, Are your eyes openi
You can't elect Putnam-it is moral i'm.
possibility is all fog, what is said a.
bout fhai. Have you no choice between
democrat and coon; Is that old SOL

has waded in blood up to his arm-pits for
the cause Of democracy, now, in his hale
old age, to be caught and strangled in a
coon trap' and he his friends at this late
day, aiding in the election of man whose
principles he and they have despised all
their lives? We don't believe it!
We tell you, gentlemen democrats all,
of the 9TH district who vote for Putnam,
you are on the wrong tack--entircly on

The praise to Emperors and Kings as
tribute to their worth for amelorating
the condition of their subjects by dimin-
ishing their taxes in lessening Custom
House cxactions must be idle praise if
the new preached theory be correct, that
l-8 more burdens imposed upon our peo-
pie will add so much more to equal privl-
legcs and liberty.
The next move-the corporations will
ask for IA more duties if the farmer Is
not sufficiently blessed by an l-9-Whlg-
gerry will soon develope its character
The Wings will take money from the
pockets of the people and whilst they rob
them tell them they are adding to their
wealth, They tax highly articles of COM
mon wear, and lessen the price of coun-
try produce, and the merchants refuse to
take produce even at a low price. I'm
der a judicious tariff the merchant would
pay high price and take corn ,rye wheat
and oats. Now Mr. farmer use your own
grain. You got rich in Jackson times.
1t is now the turn of the merchant and
manufacturer to get rich. Ic who look
at facts as they exist need no other mon
itor. Millions flow into the Public Urea
sury, millions flow into the Banks, mil
lions flow into the Golfers of the merchants
and manufacturing nabobs-but the fed
eral whig contends that all these gains, q
little here and little there taken from
the people, mite in a place will not be
fclt--in very imitation of the Engisl
that tax of three pence pound on Tea
was sotrlling that We who resisted i
would be subject of ridicule-40 pence
vii! not satisfy the craving appetites o
the English interests. They urge ia,
of Is more. The people in Rhode Is
land, Massachusetts and Vermont readi
ly acquiescc in yielding their peck
cts to be plundered for the loving atlcc
tons of the capitalists-l-3 more taxa
ton my dear sirs, say they-your burdens
are very light-we need a little more o
your scattered pelc-hand it to MS ant
we will build railroads to your doors ant

and and then farmers will stay the hand:
of those who thrust them into their peck
cts and will revive Jackson times, Tha

sets the farmers will supply the food an'
not have the DINNER of mile table sen
