We called the attention of Vermont Wings
few days ago, to the fact that the leading

out in what particular he has changed. He
remains in 'coniinued opposition" TO the abo-

Buffalo nomination. and this was THE GREAT

ATTEMPT TO KILL AND ROB.

MIR JESSE MORRILL,, hostler at the PheniX
Hotel, in this town, left that establishment
after shutdown on Tuesday last, in single
wagon for the purpose ofvisting his mother
living on the border of Chichester. When
upon the Pine Plain, and at a well known
elevation in the road between here and Chi
chester, about one mile from the Free Bridge
he was saluted by man at tbs roadside,
asking that he might ride. Morrill,, in reply,
said he was in haste, ard drove on. About an
hour afterwards, he reached the same place

HE was told to fire. if he dared, when he dis
charged pistol-the ball passing through
the upper portion of the crown of Morrl's
hat, and barely failed of its intended purpose.
At the report of the pistol, the horse sprang
forward, the robber momentariIy releasing
his hold; but inlmedintely renewed the con:

his pistol. In the scuffle, Nj. conirived both

Il-some other Wing papers make it Z. Sew

give the House to the Wings; others claim n

whole, allows that the Wings have the Sem

School Statistics.

Mr. CHADWICK: | trust many of your read
ers will be interested in looking at the follow
ing statistics of the schools in Caledonia Coun-
ty for the year ending March 81, 1913.

children of school age 1855 Number. of

Average wages finale teachers per week$3 SO
Average wages of female teachers per
week $2,25 Average expense for each child
ofschool age for the year $500. Average No.
ofscholars in each district 80. '
In addition to the,above cost of schools, there
has been expended during the year in building
and repairing school houses, IS, 800. Twelve
new school houses have been built; some of
them model houses, and nearly all on great
ly improved plan.
Surely the interests of our schools, consid-
cred only in pecunidry point of view, are
worth looking after. Such sum of money
ought not to be expended for such purpose,

of measures which will secure full equiva-

Mr. CHADWICK; Well, the old "saw,' that
"desperate cases requires desperate remedies
is about to be politically applied by the locofo-
co party in Vermont.
Being completely used up in the State, not
having the majority Of the popular vote in
single County and lean plurality in only
three, and having elected only members c.
nough to the legislature to make n decent fish
ing party up salt river, and what is worst of
all not even distant prospect of ever better
ing themselves, they have come fully to the
desperate resolution of venturing all their lit
tie political capital on single stake, the cleo
ton of Cass.
To accomplish this their only hope is, that
there will be no election of President by the
people and to secure their object, they, the Lo-
cofocos, Casstes, have determined to sell out
their political stock in trade to Van Buren,
Join thu mise Ives to the called free soil party
carry Vermont for that champion of Slavery,
the abettor of free trade, the sub treasury, an
nexation of Texas the Me xican war, the gag
law and the prohibition of freedom of commu-
ncation through the mails, the man that en-
poye ed all the authority, and more than con-

tad negroes

&C., to pull down the Cuss and hoist the Van.
Buren, fag-yet do it they must, and do il
they will, and you will see them swallowing
all the hard things, and true things, as well as
false, which they said of him just before the
Vermont election-all, all this is 70 be said
and done, not that Matty may be President
but that by giving him the Electoral vote of
Vermont it may perhaps prevent tho election
of Taylor, throw the decision of the question
on Congress where Cass is sure to get u major
~ of the States, and thus by softsoaping the
honest men of the free soil party they hope to
defeat Taylor and elect Cass.
That such is the desperate game which the
leaders and wireworkers ofthe Locofoco Cass
party are determined to play is certain, il
there is any truth in men who are ucknowl.
edged leaders of the locofoco party in this sec.
ton of Vermont.

MIA few crazy Clay men are trying TO get
up uu electoral ticket in New York and New
Jersey. The New York Express says that the
meetings which are held. are composed most
ly Of Locofocos. The Wings stand hrm Tor
Taylor and Fillmore, and will not be drawn
into the folly Dudley Selden, Willis Han,
and a man by the name of Smith, all OF New
York city, seem to be the leaders in The move
ment. why didn't these men carry New
York in IA for their idol?-.HidS.
These were the men that sent on to Albany
the false Photographic Despatch, which made
stir there, but which is now all happily settled.
They are men who resolved to 60 for Clay at
any rate even before the Convention met to
nominatca candidate. They are just such
Wings as are two certain characters in our own
State, who have been honored by the Wing
party. These two men were for Clay and
themselves and no body else. They had got all
the Offices they expected in Vermont, and they
looked TO Mr. Clay, as President, for further
qualification of their ambitious spirits. Anoth
cr man was selected, and they bolted, and are
now the advocates of Martin Van Buren,, n
man as politically corrupt as they exhibit them
selves destitute of moral or political principles
MIR Clay has written a letter to the N York
Express in which he says .'hc is utterly OPP
posed to the use Of his name a candidate for
publication in Kentucky in which he says:
"Fcclng bound by the decision Of the Philu-
delphin Convention, he does not wish and can.
moi consent, thai any further use of his name,
in connection with that Office, shall be made i"
The State of feeling among the Wings in
Y. York is shown by the following letter.
The editor of the New York Express was
a prominent member of the Wing State Con-
vention which assembled at Syracuse the
18Th inst. In letter 10 his paper he says of
the Convention:
Not a whisper of disunion dissent was
heard! Every Wing Delegate from every
Wing Assembly District in the State, respon-
dcd to the Philadelphia nominees. Thus pass
over the idle rumors of discomfort and disor-
der among the Wings of New York. They
have shown too, by statistical consultation, that
fthe Wings work on, as they are working
now, and poll their full vote, MS they are now
promising TO poll it, :hc Wing majority here in
November will be thousands piled on thou
snnds. No disturbance of any amount exists
among the Wings Of this State, except in the
minds of dreamer in two or three of its cities,
or large towns. The agricultural population
is as immovable in it's devotion to the WING
Party, as the Catskill mountain rocks. There
is no (what is culled) Clay Party distinct from
the Taylor Party. There Clay men of
any amount, that are not Taylor men. The
ticket, and the whole ticket, and nothing but
the ticket, is the cry. They who use other
lonuunUa tbnn this Of the ureat inte ror of this
State, are dupers, or the duped. The Barn
burners dctach some of our old companions in
