Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1848-09-28
GREEN MOUNT AIN FREEMAN.

der the rule of Mr.. WEIGH of Groton, few years
since, who was elected under similar circumstances.
What sghtcation is to be attached to the prefix of
Wing to Free Soil men from Barnet, Ryegate, and
Walden? They are moi TAYLOR Abolitionsts most
assuredly- neither have the Taylortes any thing to
expect from either of the gentlemen elected from the
ABOVE towns but the most unyiedng support of Free
SOIL men and measures. Mr. Montgomery of Wal
den was elected last year and acted with the Liberty
party from the beginning to the end of the session..
VIII he now with Free Soil constituency outnum-
Oerng both the other political parties who are nearly
. to against the Wings in Walden, do anything
worthy Of wearing the name of Wing in the parlance
of the Caedonian?
Mr.. Harvey of Barnet is one of the pioneers of the
Liberty party in that town; and if the editor of that
paper will refer to his subscription list he will find that
John Harvey, Esq, paid up and discontinued his paper
years ago. and has since been regular subscriber to
the Freeman. lie is man made of stuff stern enough
to resist the influence in what shape it may of
all Whgism
AS 1t respects Mr.. Renfrew of Groton. there IS no
evidence to the Contrary that he will with the Free
Soil party.
This daubing on the "Whig Abolitionist" to a man
who once acted with The Wing party after he has re-
pudated and left them, and calling another who las
been identified with the Democrats until quite recent
ly, plain Free Soil, is mighty cunning invention
for men of certain caliber mentally and morally
John A. Page Esq from Danville formerly Democrat
John Harvey Esq from Barnet formerly Wing, years
uo both nnuy ncfinr ond dapt;6oJ tho Proo
Party according to the Caledonian, and which must
be news to of the gentleman at least are on diff,
erent sides of the question-one being Free Soil ant
the other Wing abolitionist.
But as the news goes west thirty miles to Montpe
ier revolution is effected in the politics of Messrs
Harvey and Montgomery; they are bona fde whig
of the Taylor school. The Editor of the Watchma1
is very facetous or one has imposed OH his ere
duity. So much for Caledonia Our representation
is Democrats, Free Soil and 2 Taylorites.
1t was reported and in agreement with the return
of the Freeman that Lamoille Co. had elected but on
wing. According to the Ctledonan, Sterling, tn
spunkiest town in "spunkey Lamole" has chosen
wing with votes for Coolidge II for Dillingham; an
% for Shaher. Suppose the wing candidate did nc
vote for HIMSELF the great and glorious Wing party
sterling united undivided, with no great probab
ty of being split or effected by local causes com
plant that troubles the Taylor party amazingly whe
unsuccessful. Concedng that the Representaiv
elect from Sterling is as said to be by the Caledonar
we concur as a matter of course that the Wing Part
in that town in choosing Representative again
50 Free Soil ana Democrats has won orhimsef gre
credit and is entitled to the appalaon of the bannt
Wing of Vermont"
On the whole with no better or worse evidence b.
fore us than the tables of the Caedonial are sat
fed that the Taylor Party are in minority in tt
House and that it is not far from probable they ma
, be in minority on joint BALLOT.
That every plan ingenuity can devise or cunnir
invent will be called into reguisition to influence al
control the members elected by the Free Soil Par
in order to induce them to sustain the sinking eau
of the dominant party in this State, is becoming ev
dent every day.
Where once the Liberty Party received want
abuse, cosumely and reproach in their weakness,
their strength they are to contend with the smiles al
kisses of party who tremble at the prospect of poll
cal decay
Stand firm then, Free Soil men, to your integrity a
principles. You surely on the high way to victory
. two months more like the last two will give you
y complete and direct triumph-accessions are da
joining the Free Soil ranks by tens, twentes, and
hundreds. Work then; work in a righteous eau
till the Ides of November have crowned your effo
- with success till the Green Mountain State recol
her verdict in favor of Free Soil, Free Labor and Fl
!. Speech. CALEDONIA
