that they were as vide us the poles usunder, and
any Inlinlation of resemblance between them IN
any particular whatever was received as an af-

We once knew man who Dragged that lie and
Capt p owned thirty cows but it so hap
pened that the Captain owned every hoof and
horn and hide of the thirty, all told, and his poor
neighbor could only brng, without SO much as
the power of selling single COW. Now, Ma
Jor, the leaders OF The locooco and iate Liberty
party may fancy that they oun some twenty
thousand freemen Of Vermont body and SOUL
and that they can dispose OF their votes just as
readily as their SIavocratic "brethren" of the
South can sell their negroes. Perhaps, though
these wholesale dealers in free born Yankees
may bnd themselves mistaken. The boys NAV
take 1t into their heads on some fourth day of Ju-
ly that they 'front.' be sold, no how you can fix it.
We should not be surprised if they did The
fact is, dear Major, that Vermonters now adays
have not entirely forgotten their fathers then
are independent STILL We remind you of an at
tempt 10 sell them TO the locofocos on the dis.
banding OF the antl'masonic party: it was u
great failure. We remind you of later at
