About two years Of his time in India has been
spent in Calcutta, in translatlng and printing the

this translation, he applied himself from four in

how utterly the people of Vermont loathe the Texan
and anti-Tarih schemes of the Polk administration
and endeavor to blind the eyes of the intelligent yeo
many of this State with their ssual clamors abont
coarse wool and State debts We invite particular at
tention to the article from the Waterman When Jndqo
Roberts introduced his State debt resolution at the late
Nowiane Loco Foco Convention he was but carving
out the system of humbugging which his party leaders
had previously adopted. How utterly untenabla this
