| no THE WINGS
OF VERMONT 4!

On the 7lh Of November, you VIII be call
ed on to aid in fixing the political character
ofthc National Administration for long years
to come. The period is near at hand: The re-
suits it will determine are mighty. The
great issue is between TAYLOR and CAss'
They are, politically, wide as the polls nsu''-
der. One ofIhem must be elected. Any
other expectation is too idle for serious con
sidcration.
Sustain Gen. TAYLOR, and you sustain, as
you have always done, the true AMERICAN
REPUBLICAN PoLIcY;-let Gen. CAss be cleo
ted, and II Domestic and Foreign Policy, de-
strucliyc of the prosperity and dangerous to
the pcrpctuiy of the Union, will have recev-
ed sanction that will immensely aggravate
It's evils.
Sustain Gen. TAYLOR, ard you aid in Civ
ing to tho cnuse of FREEDoM aud AMERICAN
INDUSTRY, at the head of the Senate Of the u
niled States, the uulhor and powerful deien-
der of the American Tariff Of 1912, WILLARD
FILLMORE oC New York. Let Gen. Cnss be
eIected.und the cause ofSLAyERY EXTENSION
and FREE TRADE will be furnished, in the
same exalted and responsible station, with
n vigimnt and power ., advocate in WM. O.
BUTLER of Kentucky.
Gen. TAYLOR is a sound, noble hearted
conservative Wing; Gen. CAss is the embod-
iment of the worst features of"modern de-
mocracy." The former "hns no enemies to
punish-nothing to serve but his country,
the latter has no friends but pnrIizans--noth-
ing to serve but his party. Choose ye!
Your Electoral Ticket is before You. 1t is
composed of men who never abused your
confidence, who are incapable Of compromi-
sing the true interests Of the State and the
Country. You CAN elect them hy II majority
never surpassed in Vermont! WmL YOU DO
IT?
Wings of Vermont! Your State Commit
tee do not wish to Disguise the deep interest
they feel in the result of your action on the
great issue presented. They are irnpelIed
no less by their alarm at the consequences
that might follow neglect of your duty, as
Frccmen, at the ballot boxes, than 10y the just
renown for political stability and integrity,
which your inHeXible adherence to the noble
Principles aud the noble Men Of the Wing par
ty has shed upon our State, to urge you 10
the Polls. VERMONT EXPECTS EVERY WING
TO no HIsDUTY.

Martin Van Buren,, in his late letter 10 the
Utica Convention, June 90, 1913 said
II do therefore unhesitatiugly approve the
course you propose to pursue, in Withholding
your votes from Gov. Cass, and shall do SO
myself. If no other candidates than those

the secret managers among the clnn-that
Mr. Van Buren, read and Gpprorcd the resolu-
lions of the Baltimore Convention in 1914
when Polk was nominated and approx
ed them before the sitting ofthe Convention!
These resolutions were for the immediate an
ne1ation Of 7erdS!
1t is also fact, known TO every body, that
d. f. Butler, the man who prepared the res
olutons of the late Buffalo Convention, was
the author of or introduced, the Baltimore
resolutions, to the Convention in 1874! lie
was then an intimate personal friend of Van
Buren,. MIR Butler too was the gentleman
that intrigued with the locofoco Liberty men
at the Buffalo Convention to drop Hale, ant
to resist the nomination of any wing aboli
ZIONIST and to put Van Buren, in nomination

says, man of all "dough."

Ticket, for Gen. Taylor, the candidate, ant

Gently nominated by the Van Burenites on
takes the only practicable ground upon which
the friends of that movement must look for
success He says, "shoud Zachary Taylor
be elected, Congress, as it was intended by
the trainers ofthe Constitution, will again be
what, under the rule of the party which
Gen. Cass represents, 1t has almost ceased to
be-ihe government of the country, Honor

Another 'Roorback.'

The last and twentieth 'Roorhack,' got up
by the enemies of the old republican hero.
Gen. Taylor, to'injuro him at the North, is,
that the Wings ofVirginia, are to run an T.
ectorul ticket for him, without Fillmore for
Vice President. 1t is a sufficient refutation
Of such story, to state, tina, ut II recent and
greatest Wing mass meeting in Virginia for
the seuson, Hon. WM G. RIvEs made one of
the abest speeches lie ever made, and in it,
extoled Mr. Fillmore as one of the most use
ful and virluous statesmen of the Country.
There has not appeared, MS we ever heard of.
the lenst objections by the Wigs of Virginia

Another Taylor M.etlng-Rather Slim.

A NEE ting was called, to be held at the Jefier-
son House. corner OF Charles and HudsoR
streets, on Friday evening, the 18th inst. We
attended on the occas ion, and found q small bar
room on the landing, prepared for the occasion.
The meeting was organized by appointing ]. B.
Whitney, Esq. to the chair, and Mr.. DAMN and
another gentleman, secretaries.
About twenty people stood at the doorway,
ready for fun and amusement, but apparently
holding back from participating In the meeting
The space in front of the bar was left open be-
hind the bar sat the chairman and the two secre-
taries; low bench near the door contained
about dozen people seated on 1t, who seemed
to constitute the meeting In the middle Of the vacant
space opposite the bar, stood two little urohins who
prsssons as =" sivs him help and such like, from the
speakers when seemed TO be the chief only depart
ment Of politics fully ineligible snd interesting to them
The Hon. MIR. Folsom WAS introduced to the motley
and he then proceeded address them, throwing his
voice skfuy across the vacant space, and making 1t
down The passage, crowded with rolickng aud
laughing spec ators Mr. f., in a oh interrupted
at every instant by the men and boys the landing
went into eloquent eulogy Of General Taylor and his
servcss particularly dwelt upon the battle Of Buen
Vista which ne justified the General for obtAiniug and
concluded by informing The crowd at the door that be-
fore oght the enemy dered to the Americansa
fact If it be afactqute to history for believe
the Americans not enough to take pri
soncrs army which six times outnumbsred them.

noise at the door, and shouts Of Hurra for Harry

have discouraged DsMottbenes, himself After much
noise, HE cuprg, shouting scr aiming yelling &C. the

Peace dgain Blotcn to The JTinds

The bright, delusive gllmmering of peace,
which so cheered all hearts yesterday, even the
heart OF Gen. Cass, whose prospects of the Pre-
sidency depend upon the continuance of the
Wharf.-The brief CLEAN of sunlight through the
overhanging gloom-is gone, and the gloom re-
turns again. 1t is even darker than before; but
the darkness is not Cimmerian; it is not the :" pal
pable obscure" for the.very glimmer through the
fog is an indication that it is breaking up.
The measures for forced collection Of contri-
buttons from the several States of Mexico, adopt
ed by Gen. Scott, are stringent and strong; but
we believe they are worth try ing. 1t is possible
they may bring the factions Of Mexico to CO.
hesion tor their respective safety from assess
ment. They doubtless emansted from the adj
mnlstration, and doubtless with a view to secure
speedy peacc for we think that the President
desires a peace, whatever benefit may inure
to Gen. Cass from the proongatlon of the war
We hope he will get peace, aud that The ne xt cam
paIgn will be upon the merits OF political mea-
sures; not upon the hurrahs of a crusade OF indie
definite extension, duration aud expense. There
is peace to be had, and we hope that Congress
will proceed to prescribe 1t, In the Oregon off
hcuty. w.

General Scott.

While the military operations of General Scott
must attract the highest admiration of even the
old soldiers Of Napoleon, his civil measures for
the maintenance of his position in Mexico are
scarcely less marked by the prompttudc and dis
cretion of a master mi Yet this great gene
raj and civilian, who has accomplished the pros
tration andtc mporary comparative tranquility OF
an empire, with a handful of men, Is to be ar
raigned and examined as criminal
What are the charges what has he failed
to do that man could accomplish Where has
he fallen short in anything No man can ans
wer. He has done his duty, But, sir, there is
deficiency somewhere and We think it Is trace
able to that hssty plate of soup" He has not
written enough to the war department--he has
sighted Secretary Marey-he has held the secre
tary in apparent contempt, and he IL called upon
TO answer for it, He has said the army was
:" d szusted" at the estimates OF the Union of
the force in the field, which we at the time
cJntended was less than the adIutant general
made il out; and we suppose II is upon these
things that ne Is to be tried OF course the IN
curry can do nothing but recommend the trans
Ter OF the case to Washington and the Senate, or
drop the subject; and we rather suspect they Will
be glad enough to drop 1t when the old general
hall appear before them. JUsrfcE.

II Wing Meetng-Ihe Taylor Men-Breakers
ahead, perhaps-Dr. Coiiyer's Model Artists--
Justice to the Press, etc.
meeting of the wing members of Congress
took place last night. Nearly all the wings o f
both houses were present 1t was agreed that,
next week, time and place shall be fixed for
the holding OF a national convention. The Tay-
lor men opposed national convention, but they
were out-voted, five or six to one. Some of them
went so far as to say that unless General Taylor
is nominated, they will not support any other
wing candidate. The zeal of the Taylor men
is characterized by the Clay men as mere cla-
NOR and while they have been rather noisy,
the friends of the cold COON have been quietly
at work. Not Il few who were most opposed to
running Mr.. Clay for another Presidential
sweep stakes, now say that they will strenuous
ly support him. So you see we ore likely to
have sauabbes among the two divisions OF the
wings, which, unless aduste in time, will lead
TO re suit similar to that OF the contention OF the
Two dogs for a bone, which was seized by third
party, OF the canine race, and carried OH
while the others were dIsputlBg. Far be II from
US to attribute dog-eared" propsnsities to any
gentleman; but We know OF NO better way OF ex-
pressing our present convictions.
Col. Burnett, of the New York regiment, was
well received ny members OF the House to-day
He still walks with a crutch, bearing honorable
scars OF glOrV upon his person.
Dr. CollyeT Is drawing crowds to the saloon OF
Odd Fellows Hall to witness the exhibition Of
the model artists. The first night there were
two ladies present the second, the same num-
Der. In consequence of false Impressions
abroad in relation to his troup, the fair are
loath to trust themselves among the male spec
tators. The doctor made quite speech, assur-
ing his patrons that the display would not OF
lend the most chaste-that the represen tatlons
were the mere limitations OF sculpture and paint
iDgs; and that his performers must not be judged
by the standard of the counterfeit artists who
have traversed the country. We are free TO adj
nit, virtuous az we are, that we did not feel the
least disposition TO swoon, nor did General
Houston, Major McCulloch, Senator Butler, and
other distinguished men, who were present
Jesse l.. Dow, who was precluded from the
privilege of the reporters seats in the Senate, in
1916, was yesterday restored to ''respectabilily,'
by a resolution OF that body. He was, it will be
recollected, the owner of the United States
Journal when the Oregon controversy was pend
ing; and the editor published an article
charging that certain Senators attended u
dinner at the house OF the British min ster, who
placed guard at the door to prevent the table
talk from finding It's way to the public Now
that tue Oregon question Is settled, 1t was but
right that old scores should be wiped out -
The Senate, in It's acts Of mercy, has done JUS
tee to Mr.. Richie and TO Mr.. Dow, and to it we
render due thanks for their regards for the at
taches OF the public press. FELIX.
