Two or three weeks ago, we charged that Mr..
Dillingham; late one Of the representatives. Of
Vermont in Congress, d,{red the vote on the
bill giving Three Millions Of dollars Of the pco-
Pics money to the President for purposes con-
nccted with the Mexican War. We supposed
that all the citizens OF Vermont are interested to
know hoc they are represented, OF why they are
nj represented when important measures are
adopted in the National Councils. We said,
and we say, that lirsc Of the representatives Of
this State voted both in favor Of tie Wilmot Pro-

The War.

The exciting, yet contradictory and unau-
thentic, "news that is daily arriving from the
seat of war, keeps the public mind in ierment
Among the numerous reports we hardly know
what to choose as nearest the truth. We still
adhere to the opinion that Gen. TAYLOR has en-
couutcred SANTA ANNA, though we are inclin-
ed to think there has been no "ptched battle y
between them. We presume Old Rough and
Ready is safely entrenched at Monterey.
The conduct of the two Attorneys in Washing
ton, Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Marcy, in withdrawing
almost the entire regular force from Gen. TAy-
LoR's command, and leaving him with small
army composed almost exclusively of volunteers,

gallant old hero, whose brilliant achievements
