THE THIRD PARTY.

Never was there a more fatal mistake ma de than
that of the Third Party in the last Pre'hdental
campaign. They were warned, time ard again,
that it might be fatal to the Of free lom were
they to divide the Wing ranks, and thus contribute
to the success of the Slavocracy; they ere warn
ed that Texas might be annexed by the very men
they were then in fact electng, by reusin to sup
port Wings who were opposed to that measure
and they were also warned, that they ere, lndi-
rectly not merely aiding to strengthen the slave
power and rivet still stronger chains upon their TEL
ow-man but also sacrificing their own interests by
restoring to power the enemies of protec tom
These prophecies have been fulfilled, or h. ourly
in the process of fulflment. Beyond all que ston,
the Third Party controlled the electoral votes Of
New York, and by that means James X. Polk now
sits in the Presidential chair Already has t eXas
been brought TO the open door of the Union, and
the consummation of her annexation, with per haps
bloody and costly war and a long train I,oiti-
cal evils which may be felt in every homeste ud of
the land, depends upon the very men who CT last
year elected to office, and who might probably have
been defeated had different counsels prev allied
among the professed friends of Freedom. Shall
no wisdom be learned by experience? VIII men

Such seems to be the determination of the Third
Party leaders in Vermont, and we once c warn
our readers to leave them alone in their folly give
them no countenance encouragement as party,
be your hostility TO slavery never so great. Sa-
very is, indeed, politically, "the abom mat ion Of
desolation;" but it is not to be cast down by the
party whose every step is really to distra ct, divide
and weaken the ranks of those who have longest
and most successfully contended agar lst the en-
croachments of the Slavocracy. Abide 10y your

LICENSE LAW.

There is disposition in some quarters to atte npt
to make political capital out of the law passed at
the last session relative to licenses but are at
loss to see upon what grounds this can be d. one.
Two bills, substantially the same, were reportc d
one to the Senate by Mr.. Briggs, Wing, and the
other to the House, by Mr.. Marston of this toy yn,
whose politics pretty well known to the read ers
of the Patriot; and the Senate bill was ultimat ely
passed by the House, III to 50--more than two to
one, and vote which can in no sense be calle d q
party vote. Altogether the better way, for all par
ties, to to be to keep this question emit rely
distinct from party politics. since it is one W hich
men in all parties may differ about, and the good
sense of all may be equally relied upon to- set it
Any party success, achieved through sucl, .ues-

the whole people will have hold of the mat ter with
hand too strong to be guided or stayed by the
counsels of any party leaders.

WHY I AM 4 WHIG

In February, 1874, | had occasion to put up for
the night with very respectable farmer IN kut-
land county, and in the course of the evenings
conversation found, that although we were perfect
ly agreed in politics, my host was supporter OF
the Democratic party, while was a Wing. a
knowledge of these facts led to a mutual eXplana-
ton to the supposed agreement between our
principles and practice respectively.
He my superior in years, and by the way, L
found little difficulty in convincing him that con-
sidered him SO in knowledge; hence he took great
satisfaction in referring me to the history of the
country under the influence of Democratic meas
ures, las he supposedly and comparing it with that
of Wing times, he pronounced it conclusive evil
dence that the Democratic party understood and
acted upon the principle of protecting Northern in
terests, while the Wing policy had rendered both
the government and the people bankrupt and spread
universal gloom over the whole country. He allu-
ded to the well known fact, that from the time Gen.
Jackson took the administration of affairs from the
hands of the Wings in 1929, business at the North
rapidly advanced, the national treasury was over
flowing, and nothing but continuation Of the pol
icy then in operation seemed wanting to crown in
dustry, in every department of human enterprise,
with complete success But continued he, scarce
ly had the Wings resumed the reins of government
in 1S4l, when ruin began to stare us full in the
face, and so has continued to do ever since.
My friend congratulated himself upon having
given satisfactory reasons for supporting the Dem
ocratic party and rather eXutingly assigned me
the harder task Of giving good reasons for being
Il " hig.
To the inquiry as to what kind of Legislation he
attributed the prosperity he had been speaking of
lac replied-a Tariff excluding such foreign pro-
ducts from our markets as would exclude Il demand
for our own.-a real Democratic Tarift-such as
protects the common people.
| then gave as my reason for being Wing, the
well known fact, that the Wing Tariff of 1928 was
in full tide of operation during the first and most

Let no Wing neglect his privilege on Tuesday
next. Is it nothing to do your duty as freeman?
nothing to demonstrate against the reduction Of the

dering of the Public Lands, and the perpetuation
of the accused slave system by consummating the
annexation of Texas? nothing to maintain the hard
earned and glorious fame of the Wing party of
Vermont? All these combined make pressing
appeal to every man to do his whole duty. We
trust there is no Wing who would not be deep
ly chagrinned and deeply panied if Vermont should
come short at this election-if Vermont should now
give occasion to any body to doubt her political
stability. There is no necessity for u result like
this; it be prevented, and the character Of the

SUB-TREASURY AGAIN.

President Folks organ is out in full blast for the
revival of the Sub-Treasury.
"7Ne question must be met" says this organ; and
again" Neither the peoples representatives, nor
the Democratic press should occupy an equivocal
position at this time. 1t is time for the press at
least to speak out-not in parallels and figures, but
openly, boldly frankly"
OF course the Sub Treasury is to be revived :;
the leg-treasurers must have a chance to show off
their speed-the public money must be in the hands
of the Locofoco leaders, and the demagogues must
have another opportunity to blow up the banks. OF
course too, the Locofoco members Of Congress and
the Locofoco newspapers must nOw "speak out,"
ed-mouthed-albeit for four years past while they
were trying to get into power, they hardly dared to
name the subject to the people. The people are
in their clutches-the Polkites have got the power,
and noic they dare to talk about using it. But let
not the people of Vermont give countenance to
the measure, nor to such trickery as this. Once
more condemn that experiment which the bitter ex-
perience under Mr. Van Buren's rule proved to be
ruinous to the business of the country.

THAT $4,000.

Will the Waterman tell us where is that $780,
000?--Pdtriot
We are much obliged for the hint, since it re-
minds us that the Locofocos still insist upon rob-
bling Vermont Of her portion of the public lands.
But it is difficult to say exactly ehere the money is;
whether it has gone for old steamboats, at $3.50 per
day to fight for Texas or has been expended in
buying votes, or stolen by some long-legged Loco
foco sub treasurer, is more than we can tell. We
are sure, however, that Vermont will never see the
first dollar from the public lands so long as Loco
focos have the management of the business They
will spend every dollar they can get, and have
heavy national debt into the bargain.

THAT SAME OLD FOX.

While the little foxes in Vermont making
tremendous hubbub, on account of the payment
four-pence huppenny claims for services done in
obedience to law it seems that some Of their bigger
and more fortunate brother foxes, elsewhere, have
already got into the public crib aud are helping
themselves literally. We quote the following
from the Albany Evening Journal;
WAR EXPENDITURES.
If we are to have war with Mexico, early and
vigorous efforts should be made to guard the tr,a
ury against pecuaton and fraud. Such war will
cost dear enough if conducted with the most igid
economy. We have nothing to gain or hope for
but that it may be speedily terminated. If pu bio
officers will do their duty faithfully, millions Oh
dollars may be saved But if we are to be ptlcu-
lated upon or plundered, we were by the FL orr
da Patriots, the War with Mexico will leave brlis-
es and scars from which we shall not recover for
twenty years.
We speak of this matter now, because the sys-
TEN of robbery has already commenced. Steam
Boat, not worth more than twelve or fifteen thous-
and dollars has been chartered by the Governm ent
for the Texan service, at $3.50 per day, the Gov
eminent paying all the Steamers expenses! This
is but the beginning. And it is an outrage of
which the Press should take early notice. By eX-
posing such frauds early, some check may be
thrown around the Treasury.

WOOL AND WOOLENS.

A few words on wool and woollens. The Abr

"The gross inequality and Partially
which characterize its (the present tariffs details,
are beginningto be felt all sides. Compare the
present prices of Wool with those Of Domestic
Wooden Goods, and it will fully illustrate this inc
quality. The former article brings from seven to
ten cents per pound less now than it did a year
ago, ,chile The price Of the latter, If not increased is
fully sustained"
These assertions are honestly made, no doubt /;
but they ought not to have been made without as
certaining the facts There is just one truth here
namely that wool is now considerably lower than
last years but the fact that the probable overthrow
of the tariff discourages the extension of the wool
en- manufacture is kept ont Of sight. The Cotton
manufacture has obtained such hold that it can
not be absolutely crushed by any alteration of the
Tariff; the wooden is less solid and may be. Now
wool is cheaper than last year, but tey does not The

Now to the Atlass remaining assertion, that,

I'm eye to The MAN Chance A correspondent Of
the Washington Union chalks out very magnifi-
cent plan for campaign for Uncle SANS Army

This writer recommends that our land forces BIZ

Navy be concentrated in the Gulf Of Mexico; an
that after taking possession of Vera Cruz, Fampi-

cess in all these movements, the writer proceeds to
treat of the political conduct OF the war; Private
property, he says, should be respected the Peopl

religious and business matters; and all the loctd
office holders to be left in possession 'ercept those
