The Two Bennington Gazcttcs.


The quarrel between the two Dromios Of To-
cofocoism at Bennington, the Hill Gasene, and
the Valley Gazette, is subsdng into something
quite Ineligible to most readers. The Hill
village man swears that Mr.. Haswell i. not
orthodox in potics-that he even goes so far as
to dare to think rather lightly of James II.
PoK!, Hear him:
He [IIaswelll does not hesitate, when among his
Wing friends, to declare that Mr. Polk is only a
second or third rate statesman that he Mr.. Polk
has ruined the Democratic party thai he has no in
fluence with the Democratic party in Congress that
he has weak and mbeclle cabinet that the war is
most miserably managed ; and that the troops ought
never 10 have crossed tho Rio Grande"
II Mr.. IiaswcIl docs not hesitate" when lie
says such things, it goes to show that he does
not stammer uhen he speaks The truth.
The secret of the matter, after all, seems &c
be that Mr.. iaswell supposcs he can be Lo
cofoco 'cid'om having any very high notions OF
Mr. Polk, and wh'om clarifying this "miserabl,

The State Convention,

The customary Convention Of the Wings Of
Vermont, for the nomination of candidates for
the principal state Offices, will be held at Mont
pelicr on Wednesday next Although, under
tho circumstances, we have no reason to sup
pose that the assemblage will be a large one
(since the denomination of the present excel
lent, faithful and uncxccponable ncumbcnts
is looked for almost as matter Of coursc.) we
in all kindness counsel Locolocosm in this State
against attempting TO draw comfort from such
an indication of Wing apathy or Indifference.
We verify believe that the administration of
John TWer. even, wus far less odous to the
people of Vermont than is that of James Il.
Polk. In Tyler's case the popular odium at
tachcd more to the person of that already for
gotten fungus, and grew out of the natural feel
ing Of disgust and contempt that tredchery. on
whatever scale il is prnctiscd, always eXcitcs
among men but nothing .! this character can
be alleged against PoN On the contrary, his
administration has been rendered odious and
unpopular more on accoHm of his thorough and
slayish fidelity to his party pledges and party
and sectional policy and measures. lie was

He was elected: (pal,ly by fraudulent pettilog-
ging on the Tariff, to be stree and to the issues
presented by the turbulent and incongruous Con-
vcntion that to the establishment Of himsefand
the world, conferred the nomination upon him.
he has adhered with the per,inaci,y Of the
thoroughbred party hack that he was well known
to be BY that small portion of the country who
knew anything about him. He has none of the
confidence of the rEorLE, because he was never
Of or for them. lie was partisan Represent
alive, partisan Speaker, and is eminently, a
partisan President; and has inflicted more IN
jury upon the country by his partisan policy
and measures, than can now be estimated. lie
Is precisely of that class of politicians who are
the bane of Republics ; he secs no triumph but
party triumph, and aims at no success but party
success.
The administration Of such man is not the
one to win VERMONT to Locoiocosm She has
withstood the rough-and-ready obstnacy, and
straightforward energy Of Jackson, and the oily
dcmagogusm Of VAN DuRE., and is not likely
to be disturbed By tn, small arts Of so incon-
siderable political operator as James X. Polk.
We feel, therefore, no apprehenson., this
year, for the integrity of the old Green Mountain
State She will make herself heard, at the
proper time, on the subject Of the WAR, and
the measures generally of this feeble and cor.
rupt administration. We hope to see goody
attendance at the State Convention; but large
or small we knohr that the acion Of that Con
vention will meet the hearty concurrence of q
will receive the emphatic sanction of thei

We are indebted to Messrs Virgil & Rice for N
Y. Express of the 29,h ut, from which we gather the
following:
Thu. steamer James L. Day arrived at New Orleans
from Vera Cruz. OH Monday morning the 2lst inst.
The most important part OF the intelligence brnugh,
by this arrival, is the fatering prospect of peace.
Capt. Wood, OF the James l. Day, states that in
formation had been received Vera Cruz, before the
Day left, that Gems. Scott and Worth, with the main
body of the army, had advanced far as Rio Fro
without opposition, and met at that place bv a
deputation from the capital with propositions of peace
The exact tenor of the propositions no, known.
They were, however of such nature that Cen Scott
refused TO accept Them nnd determined to push on
his forces to the capital From the deep anxiety el,
by the new government, (f the term government can
be applied to any party or power in Mexico stay
the march OF our forces on the capital, it thought
that further concession would be made to Cen Scott
before he took up his line of march from Rio FRO
This important intelligence We give precisely as it
came to us
The remainder Of the news centres in the report
