A short time since we noticed an article
III the Voice of Freedom, and similar one
in the Bellows Falls Gazette complaining
very much ofsome remarks we made in re-
lation to the Wings supporting Gen Taylor
When we are ready to enter upon an eUer-
lasting controversy about nothing, we will an
swer friend Holcomb's questions, for he is just
the man to engage in such controversy. As
to the Bellows Falls Gazette, we have long
I since regarded that paper as beneath our no.
| tice. We consider the editor as deficient in
moraiintegrity g. common decency Liberty
Gazette.
! The remarks to which our meek friend alludes,
4, were, as the readers of the Voice will remember
about the editor of the Gazette and his prnci-
pies, as shown through his paper. We heartily &C
knowledge our error in aiming at 50 small mark
and now that he has looked into some Mirror and
will engage in future not to fire at any thing more
than the covering of this--0.
The Bellows Falls Gazette will answer the above
for himself; also the insiauat0n of Gen. Clarke.
ELECTRO MAGNETIsM-P Priority Of Claims, &c.-l
20 the reader will very naturally understand our
townsman, THOMAS DAVENPORT, he pretty strong
y hints at a claim to the Patented right of applying
Electro Magnetic power to moving machinery, or to
causing rotary motion, prior to that patented by
Professor MoRsE for TclegrapIic purposes. When
we were at Washington in February, 1896 and con-
versing on the subject with Patent Agent of long
experience in matters pertaining to patenable dis
coveries and Inventions he gave it as his opinion,
formed from a thorough investigation of the case,
that the application of Electro Magnetism for pro-
ducing rotary movement, clearly belonged to Mr.
DAVENPORT, and that tho use of this by Professor
Morse, in his Teegraphic dispatches, was an IN
fringement the discovery and application patent
ed by the other.
As Mr. Davenport does not possess the means Of
legally testing the question of priority of patented
light those who have the spare means and are in
ercsted in Tclegraphic lines of communication, may
10 Wen 10 investigate lne matter j-oDtaln tne opn-
on of those who are well versed in Patent Laws af-
er they shall have examined the TWO claims which
investigation and obtaining Of opinion will be of lit
lie cost compared with the GAIN should Mr. Daven
,ort's claim to priority be established.
The VERMONT PATRIOT came out last week with
two column leading editorial, endeavorng to show
hat the Federaists of the 1912 war were the same
s are the Wings Of the present time and that about
wenty years since they succeeded, in consequence ,
# calling themselves Democrats, in swallowing up
ODDLY portion Of the SIMPLE pure m;naed Democrats,
nd have, by shrewd management, kept them in
heir ranks to the present time After basinga real
lain to true Democracy on the ground Of favoriug
he present war with Mexico, the Major pleads like
political hero to have the foolish Democrats step
ut of the Federal Wing ranks into the party where
hey will feel at home
Well, Major Eastman, these men you have virtu- .
lily called fools must feel very highly complnented
nd without doubt will duly appreciate the high i
nconiun you have passed upon them. Tho stand ;
rd,-the ground work on which YOU base your po- .
teal action must commend itself to those who ,
now nor care for any higher standard, and you l.
ill be sure, for the time being of all the game you
atch with such bait Go it them strong for the dear
eople, for they have but few such friends in Yer
lont rs you would have them believe you are. q
