WHIPS AND SpuRs.-When the votes were about
to be taken in the House the passage of the Polk
Tariff and the bill to throw away the public Lands,
members of the Cabinet were present whipping and
squirting up members to vote against their con-
sciences. What is this but trifling with the oatis
of MEMBERS and with their responsibility to their
constituents, and gross Infringement upon the
freedom and privileges Of the House? When such
proceedings tolerated by the people, it may with
truth be said that corruption is the order of the
days
0SIt is a remarkable circumstance, that nc-
Their of the renowned military characters who grace
the Locofoco State Tckct--aye, nor even our val
iant neighbor Of the Patriot, who seems 10 have re-
linqushcd his post of Major for that of trumpeler
to Gen. Runsom--hos yet volunteered for the Mex
lean war; On! We heroes! on to the tented field.
We suspect that the people of Vermont can spare
you.
