We wonder not tba, che eJ,tor Of the Pa.

damning act oil anncIing Texas 10 this I'm
ION, for the avowed object Of strengthening
and pcrpe,uaIing the most dabol,cal inst

not strange that he should wish Yer.

designs OF bis political friends TO ptostrste

y is natural enough he should be liule any-

lbelcss the people have word 10 say in re.
eardto this matter They have got 10
manifest that they do not ssnc, on such q.
bo,ninable ou,rsgcs, such s,,rocious cnorm.
tics And they will no, be diverted from
their duty BY oil the falsehood and scurrli.
~ that whole army, like him Of the Pa.
ttim can scatter over The land
And now few words in regard 10 the
expressions with which the article from the
Patriot is prefscd, and we have done. 1t
is'rue tina, laungnogo similar to ihnt is
quoted, di.paraging the official conduc, OF
our Treasurer was employed in our State
convention by Two individuals, But there
was no, member Of tina, Convention who
did not thoroughly understand that these at.
in,ks were but the miserable ebulIhions or
personal spleen. No one Of the least dis
cernmcn, attributed the course tnken by the
persons IN question 10 any earthly cause
but,hc piliiul srllifcadon Of private grudgc.
The spIrh which animated them was too
apparent, md their motives too gliring, to
escape observation.
Acting in concert they both, in round
unnensured language, made charges of the
most sweeping character. The Convention,
after cour,eously stcning, demanded some.
thing more than empty TRADES they asked
for 9ible nvermcn,s, and specific allega-
cations Whoreupon they both ransacked
their memories and their imaginations
AND tn only thing they could drag out of
their dark rees sses, BY dint OF most perse-
vering efforts, bearing the remo,ea shape
Of direct charge, was pitiiul falsehood,
.hst blushed, as soon No II was introduced
TO the light, oil its own naked deformity-
I, wa. affirmed thst hundyed dollars had been
drawn, n few days previous from the Trea-
sury, without warrant The assertion wac
at once rcfhed, triunphantly, 1t was prov.
, Cd upon the spot that the money was paid
by the treasurer in pursuance of on order
from the Auditor which order was issued
: by the direction Of the Governor given in
, ormiy TO an act PISSED a, the last scs.
sion OF the Legislature, providing for the
publication OF a digcstcd index Of the Yer.
mont Reports. The whole proceeding wns
shown to be perfectly legal and regular; and
the charge was so clearly proved lotbe utter
~ false and prcposterous, tina, one OF the &C
cusers arose and apologsed, lamely enough
1t is true but with us good grace as posi-.
bic under the circumstances for his ridicu
lou, folly; while the other did not al,emp
reply OF any character whatever, but Sd
sulkiIy silent, just as you might expect n
