Loco Focoism Boiling Over.

The Loco FOcos and Li5ertists of Vermont
are really frantic at the nomination of Old
Rough and Ready. On the whole, we believe
it is the general impression of our opponents
in this region that it is perfect folly for Lewis
CaSs to undertake to run at all-and that he
ought at once to Withdraw from the Canvass.
We do not believe an intelligent Loco Foco
in the United States has now the remotest ex-
pectation of electing their ticket. According
ly, the organs of our opponents in this State,
after endorsing the nomination of man pledg-
ed to defeat the Wimot Proviso, and in favor
of extending Slave Territory to the utmost,
are now absolutely racing, 70 find themselves
headed so eiectualy by OLD Jack
The Editor of the Ee,mont Patriot, as was
to be expected, sets about abusing Gen. Taylor,
IN bis characteristic manner. We are veryglad
OF this. We have already learned that the
Patriot is to be, throughout the coming cam
Paign, that same old Age elongated, and MOTH
ing else. In fact, the Major is in his element,
again, and his efforts will doubtless be attend
ed with the same happy results as in 1910.

The Wing party that has opposed and de-
nounced the War, nominate for President the
very man who began it; at whose instigation
the army was moved to Corpus Christi" An
unqualified falsehood-as we have already
shown, quoting the documents.-Next we are
told that Gen. Ia, lor is "a man who makes
business of training slaves for the market"
we challenge Major Eastman or any body else
to furnish the vaguest shadow ofproof to sus-
tam the assertion. The Patriot states that Gen.
Taylor Says he does not know enough of pol
itlcs to vote !" That is your kind, Major-but
you have out-Scorpioned Scorpion, this time.

and you will do the business.-"The Wing
party that sung bloodhound songs IN lS4o,
have nominated the very man that introduced
that breed of Wings into Florida Which
is of a piece with the falsehood last quoted
The Loco Focos, however, have nominated
the very man who got the country into the
Florida War-perhaps that is what the Major
was thinking of. "The Wing party, that has
denounced the South for years, has been
crushed and extinguished by the South" Oh,
has it We thought Major Edstmdn would
have the credit of doing that. And, by the
way, what is the Patriot now firing at?-"A

a fact that one member of the Convention in

respectfully submit, to any sober and consider
ate person under the sun, whether Major
Eastman should not be the very last person to
mention SlGreIy,in connection with the candi-
dates for the Presidency, unless absolutely
forced to do so? Gen. Taylor is known to be
opposed to the extension Of Slavery, and Lew
is Cass is known to be its sworn advocate; and
if the universal Wing Party has been dissolved
by Its own spontaneous act of nominating
Southern man, ,chat shall we say of the party
that have nominated Michigan dovgh,tace !?
That is simple question-but we will not
press the answer. 1t might not be perfectly
convenient, just now

Ma. EDrToR--By an oversight of the mana
gers OF the Ad. Co. Ag Society at their March
Meeting, the conditions ON which premiums arc
to be awarded on Farms, were not decided upon.
They were as follows -
"In awarding premiums on farms regard will
be had to the general management of the farms.
the expenses of conducting the same, the amount
of produce, and the relative condition of the farm
at the commencement and at the close Of the year.
together with the condition Of the same, so fi as
known, two years previous. The preference will
be given to the most economical and profitable
mode of farming, or that which combines the larg-
est nett profit per centum from the capital inves-
ted with the greatest improvement in the fertility
of the soil and the general condition of the
farm.
"Allapplicatons for premiums on farms must be
made in writing addressed 10 the Secretary Of the
Society and left at his Office or before the LIST
