WINGS OF VERMONT, AWAKE !


State Of Vermont which alone OF all the states Of
the Union, has never, since the golden days of
John Quincy Adams administration, swerved from
the true faith, would fall into the hands Of the
Loco Focos--that the st,u that never yet has set,
would soon go dowa, and our own beautiful hills
be shrouded in the darkness of Locofocoism, we
are certain that the gallant Wings of the Green
Mountains would arouse the mselves TO vigorous
action, and save the state from the danger which
threatens il. In some parts of the state, we
are happy to witness good disposition to rally,
but general thing spirit of rent indifference
pervades our ranks. The iatense excitement on
the subject of Railroads has to great extent pro-
duced this state of things.
Our adversaries are fully aware Of the condition
TO which we exposed and will without doubt
make the most of it, They would be false to
their natural instincts ifthey did not They have
already commenced system of organization and
tactics, which does credit TO their he ads than
TO their hearts. In their conventions and newspa-
per organs, they have shown niention to avoid
national politics. and adopt some local hobby, such
as aSmilie aud Refosm," or Smile aud some other
nonsense Already the Montpelier Patriot and the
hcartless demagogue who assumes to lead the Lo-
cofocos of Orange County, have given out word
that it is very improper to drag national politics
into the state canvass--that heretofore their party
have acted very iadiscreey in suffering their rVt-
system Of national politics to be dragged before
the intelligent people of Vermont. They have
manifested great Indignation at the naughty Wings
for bringing up the subject OF Texas and especial
ly the Tariff. 1t is pity, exclaims the Patriot,
that we can't be permitted TO have state election,
without bringing up the subject Of the Tariff
What have the annexation of Texas and the Tariff
to do with the election of Governor of vermont'
Why can't we be permitted to go and humbug
the Gteen Mountain Boys with some 'Sme and
Reform clamor, and not be compelled TO expose
the policy of the Polk administration, which is now
openly proclaimed to be hostility TO the protective
! system, a willing obedience TO the Texas clique
of the South, and open warfare on the industri-
al interests of the North and particularly of New
England? This is the sum and substance of the
| Resolutions Of Locoioco conventions lately holden
at the NORTH and of the editorials Of Locotoco news
papers in commenting thereon.
| But Wings Of Vermont, you willing amid
the Railroad excitement, TO permit these sleepless
demagogucs TO take advantage of your political APP
athy, enter your camp, and drag your own mount
ain state down into the depths of1.oecfoco degra
da,on Wanid you see your Vermont placed no
side New Hampshires Are you willing to give up
the State TO New Hampshire Governor and Leg
islatnre, that the spirit of enterprise that is
giving energy to all your industrial interests
and extending Railroads through your mountain
passes, may he driven back' Are you willing to
see your delegation in Congress-your Senators
and Representatives in close alliance with the EN-
pire and Jacobinicai clubs of New York, and the
McDufies and Hammondses of the South, who,
, with open mouth, proclaim Incorporating hate
r to New England aud New England interests, and
who have recently asserted that "Sacery Is The Cor
ner Stone,Q our republican edfce and now 'repudi-
ate, as ridieuousIy absurd The much laaded but no
sohere accredited dogma OF MIR Jefferson, that all
mea aye born free and equal''"
Ifyou are not ready and willing to suffer defeat
and consequent disgrace like this, we mplore you
TO awake, and devote portion Of your time be-
tween this and September, Ito the political interests
e Of the State.
0 If amid the absorbing Railroad interests, you
should suffer the State TO fall into the hands of
: your opponents, ii would be trampeted from Maine
to Louisiana, that Vernsont had finally given in her
adherence to the Infamous scheme OF anne xaiion -
= that henceforh the boosted freedom of the Green
e Mountains would be treated as mockery-that
your iavorte sysem of protection TO home indus
try had been abandoned and thrown TO the winds,
r to become the sport and Jest of the advocates Of
FreeTrade, and that the hostility human slavery
# in which you have long gloried had given place
\, base subserviency TO the political mountebanks
Of the South, who assert slavery 10 be the palladium
of our liberties, and repudiate ridieuousiy ab-
surd, the fundamental principles ia declaration
10 Of Independence! Wings of Vermont, we again
q ask you, you ready to submit to this shameful
!, state of thngs' you willing TO the bright
- glorious star, that has long shone you, and
= given joy TO the Wings of the whole union, &c
down, and your beautiful green hills blackened by
a long night Of Locofocosm We leave you with
this question, hoping to answer in your i'm
+ mediate action, in general and immediate rally &c
y the support of the interests of the commonwealth
4 VINO STATE TtcKEr.-Our readers will per
ceiye by reference to another column that the Whg
se in State Convention at Montpelier, have re-nonlin
m ated the present incumbens, for Governor, Lieut.
Governor aud Treasurer of the State, as canddnte

= their usual spirit to elect them. The Locos ar,
a making great calculations our apathy, the alb
sorbng interest of Railroads, and their usual Gun

fore-warned, and they are fore.armed. Let then
