JEFFERSON +. KlDDER,
"a Taylor plot unmasked" Not at all--but
q most wretched plot to steal q march upon the
freemen Of Vermont by secret rally Of the To-
coiccos to the polls, and to gag their representa-
tves by instructions. This circular is dated
Nov. 12-eigM days before the election. If there
was Taylor plot--1 Whig p!ot-of any sort,
why did not Edward D. Barber and his associ-
ates announce 1t publicly 10 The people Of Vermont,
and call upon them to rally to the polls and put
it down? Why this secresy? Why limit their
patriotic efforts for the salvation Of the counties
and iownS of Vermont, to batch of confidential
circulars, addressed TO locofocos? II they be-
liovcd there was plot these men were simply
traitors to the people. But there was no wing
plot as the election shows. The result brands
these men as liars-as base slanderers OF the
whig party. Their charge is entirely false; ana
we can relieve these men from the disgrace OF
knowingly circulating talsehood only by I'M
poaching their intelligence. The amendments
were proposed by Whig Council seven years
ego, and rejected by locofoco convention. Per-
haps Ned Barber and his associates did MT know
it. These amendments were again proposed by
Wmg council this year, and we believe that
every wing editor in Vermont Who has expressed
any opinion at all, has declared IN .Jaror OF the
very amendments supported by these heroes OF
the secret circular. Perhaps Barber & Co. did
not know it. Indeed we won't undertake to say
that they know any thing, other than that the
only way for them ever to carry their point is by
q hick-the only way for them to geta victory
in Vermont is by stealing il.
But TO return to our text: j. c. our own views.
The Patriot had no right to say that we are
oroinst the amendments, in the unqualified man.
nor It seems to have done. We have published
n series Of articles apainst them: but they were
mot onrs. thew were not odopted as ours; mol
ware thew endorsed by us other than as very
