We beg pardon Of our venerable contemporary
while we hasten 10 assure him that nothing could be
more unfortunate than this alluson the Star that
never sets In the first place there are no inacces
siblc mountain passes in Vermont and IN the next
place the people Of that State too intelligent TO
believe in ghosts and witches, having breathed from
the frs; the pnre mir OF Freedom and long enjoyed
the inestirnable blessing Of Free Schools. Our
friend must have been thinking OF the wild passes
Of the Blue Ridge, and The barren wastes OF Old
Virginia where the wild beasts are resuming their
ancient dominion and bowling over the desolstons
produced by Slavery. Perhaps he can tell us OF
what District in that State the beast was uttered by
its Representative i'll Congress tina, there was not
within its limits single newspaper, and If so ne
will have no officially in finding "a heap OF people
whose belief in ghosts and witches is too profound
to be disturbed by the light of the Nineteenth Cen
fury. He need not wander 10 Vermont IL search OF
people on whom to bcstow his compassion for their
ignorance and superstition.
