CUM Try INTEREST IN THEM
PoH's Address to the People Of Itnness-
ee, Much 25, lS4l.
Ave. Mr.. Polk-when Mr.. Clay and a
Wing Congress came into power, they
viii honestly redeem the plighted faith OF
the nation; they will do what Jefferson
suggested in 1909 they will be JUST to
the States ofthe Union, and distribute the
proceeds ofthe Public Lands Then Mr..
Polk, as YOU suggest, VERMONT will
have a PECUNIARY INTEREST in
this matter and we propose to show hO'0
much interest she will probably have, and
hOw muck you would rob her of This
we shall do by the following table, which
gives the actual net proceeds of the pub
lie lands, from the time MIR. Clay's land
bill would have gone into effect, down to
the last report, and the amount fractions
included) which Vermont would have re-
caived

by Congress.-T Thomas Jefferson signed

James X. Polk is pledged to trans

So are the LOCOFOCOS!!
Democratic Wigs are in favor of hu-

much to check the encroachment of the slave
mower, and for the advancement of universal
freedom, as Messrs. Birney aud Smith, and a
thousand fold more than the men who are

Others may take such responsibilities and en-
dorse such proceedings but we will not.
Principles. not men," is our motto, nor
will the fear of having our character or mo-
tives expunged, deter US from putting them
into execution; and we believe the intelligent,
honest and rejecting portion of our brethren
in the Liberty ranks, will agree and act with
us. We have read Mr.. Binney's letter of Au-
gust 5, lS44, TO Mr.. Everett, Of Pittsburgh,
acknowledging that he is opposed to the distri-
button of the proceeds of the public domain,
and Tariff for Protection. This is Loco
Foco' doctrine, as we understand it. The
one is unjust and the other Anti. American,
and both destructive to the interests of the
People; nor are we satisfied with the friend
ship apparently existing between the leaders
of the Loco Foco and Liberty parties. mas
much as the Loco Focos have nominated
James G. Birney for member ofthe Legs
lature of Michigan from the county in which
he resides. Since we have read the last let
ter of Henry Clay, published in the National
Intelligencer at Washington, which has an
extensive circulation, both North and South
in which he reterates the sentiments we have
ascribed TO him, in more emphatic language,
if possible, not to be misunderstood. We
have also had the pleasure Of listening to that
noble Champion of Freedom, c. Nj. Clay
he who has proven his devotion to Liberty by
his acts. His burning eloquence and truth
full statements have made US hate Slavery
more, and convinced us more firmly if posi-
Bile, that the position we have taken is the on
ly safe and judicious one for the accomplish
ment of the object we SO ardently desire.

she has been robbed by locofocoism, J. X
Polk being alder and abettor in the rob-
berry. But we do not claim that this sum
which Vermont probably will receive I'M
der Mr.. Clays administration because the
above includes the extraordinary sales oc-
casioned by the specializing mania oils
35 and 80 As a fair approximation to
the sum which Vermont probably 0iH re-
ceive, we will take the average from the
commencement of the present system

Average proceeds per year, 2,O6O, l64 "a
Share of Vermont per year 97,310 "a
The official reports prove, therefore, that
under the rule of distribution adopted by
Mr.. CLAWS bill, the average share of Yer
mont from 1921 to 1S4l would have been
nearly 100000 year. Her share, how
ever, would have been actually much more
because for part of the period here EN-
braoed the population of Vermont was
greater in proportion to the other States
than it was in 1880, which was the basis
of distribution. Remembering that ade-
quate protection, by stimulating every
branch of business, directly leads to the
occupation and improvement of the pub
lie lands, we may with fairness and GER
tainty assume that the Wing policy, of
psoTgcrloN and Distribution, will not
only encourage and protect the people of
Vermont. but give annually to her treas
airy the sum Of 100000 which is legally
and rightfuily hers.
Be ii remembered, then, that POLK and
the locofoco party will rob the treasury of
the people of Vermont of this sum, If the
power is committed to their hands. Polk
AVOWS this as his policy-the locofocos
even here avow it.

WHIG GAIN IN 1874.

Seven of these ten States were last year
under the rule Of Locofoco Legislatures.
Now all of them are redeemed. That is the
great and important fact which we beg to
bring seriously to the consideration of the
Locofocos. The Wings have wrested from
them seven States within six months-seven
States last year actually under the dominion
Of Locofocoism.
The very first day Of the year was desig-
mated by a triumph in Georgia, by some
5000 najority.-That was speedily followed
by the election of six Wings from Mary
land. Connecticut and Virginia both sub
stituted Wing for Locoloco Legislatures.
Then came a gain Of one member Of Con-
gress from Louisiana, Iand the election Of a
Wing Legislature. Next succeeded North
Carolina, where Locofoco majority of "a
in the Legislature was substituted by Wing
majority of 25. Then came Indiana, where
Locofoco majority of 10 is succeeded by a
Wing majority of 10. Besides these gains
of entire States, the Wings have gained i'm
mensely i'll several Congressional elections to
fill vacancies which have taken place during
during the year in Maine. Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, to say nothing of the recent
startling Developments in Missouri.
/ Tho great rejoicing of the Polkeites over
their present victory in Maine is because
Maine is the first State they have carried
this year, which did not go with them in 1910,
and they needed this comfort so much the
more, because in the same time they have
lost VIRGINIA., the most of all their 1910
capital.
The Presidential vote Of Maine, even if
they carry it, is just about half as large as
that of Virginia.-Port. Ado.
