was confirmed in the above opinion
when l believed that my ocules did moi
see wrong as they traversed our friends
very virtuous advice 10 US as Vermonters.
He says: " You want Legislators compe-
tent to know the necessities of the State
able to point out remedies; and faithful
to carry them into operation, without en-
curing whether they have ever assisted a
slave 10 murder the family of his master.
or encouraged him to steal means Of
himself from bondage to free-
dom !"
Perhaps friend B. might be informed
that murder and theft are not as popular
virtues among the green hills Of Vt. as up
on the pine clad plains of the South and
that If we get up candidate for office
here, we learn something of his character,
and if he proves to be murderer, or a
thief, does not generally receive our sup
port.
We have next and lastly arrived where
our friend, after long searching his vocab-
ulary has found words suitable 10 express
the climax of his stout cratic. This comes
after setting forth our wants and desires
for better mode of transportation and
thinking that he has now sufficiently coax
ed and duped in this thing, concludes that
we had great deal better vote for the
whig candidates for Office!
perfectly agree with Mr. B. in that we
want railroad this side of the mountain,
md think that the Democrats as far as
his is concerned at least, are as much in
avor Of internal improvement as the
Wings. 1t is also true that we want as
good a charter as we can get, on honest
principles, and this is all aoe ask; and we
wish 10 give no more TO others. Perhaps
n this case the Democrats might do Its
lie better than the Wings; for | suppose
you are aware that the Wings this side of
he mountain are little in the fog in re.
gard to this thing.
Eastern Vt. procured charter for
-oad the stock, property and effects of
which are exempt from taxation while
his side procured one much inferior in
'ther respects, aside from taxation. The
of which has been, when
hey presented their charters 10 capitalists
or subscription, the advantage Of The Cen
raj charter exerted an influence in the Sc.
curing Of their stock, and thus perhaps,
brewer excluded US from the benefits of
-oad. All this advantage, and fraud the
Wings this side of the mountain permitted
% pass, in l843, and permitted it 10 con-
tinue in 1874, without opening their
mouths against it, or even informing their
constituents of their blunders, or want Of
in the matter. The consequence
IF which must, and justly will be, that they
will suffer for their guilty negligence. -
Now, ifthere is any remedy for these err
fors | think we may as safely look for
hem from the hands of the Democrats, as
rom the Wings.
Therefore | fear that many will avail
themselves of the privileges our friend
gave them, to select from some other par.
y, men for Legislators, if there are not the
pest ones in the Wing party for some of
hem have been tried, aud it is very evi.
lent, to say the least, that they have not
proved very good ones.
