VERMONT WATCHMAN & STATE JOURNAL,
Why is it,

We have called attention to the fact that the
SlavocrOis intend to get a large part of New
Mexico for SLAVE territory, by ANNExiNe 1T TO
Texas. The game was started before the close
of Mr.. Folks administration. Texas CLAIMS all
of New Mexico to the Rio Grande; Polk sane
toned her claim as far as he could, by annexing
that part of New Mexico to the Texas military
district. President Taylor has promptly correct.
ed This covert attempt to slip that vast territory
under Texan jurisdction; he has put that and
the rest of New Mexico under a distinct and
separate military district-thereby giving him a
new title 10 confidence and respect as an honest
and patriotic President. But Texas will insist
she has warned us of il; the question will come.
Now we ask ugoin-,ohy did The coaliiionisis
DODGE THIS NEW SCHEME OF ADMIRATION p
Why are their organs silent about it, Why is
it that the Wing party and the Whig presses of
Vermont have been the only ones 10 take a stand
against this new and dangerous scheme? Free
Soil Wings remember this matter.

"Keep it before the People :"

The Montpelier Patriot, (the jealous advocate
of the election of Gen. Cass, under this head
has resolution which, it says, The Wing Ma
tonal Convention did mol pass. Here is reso-
luton which the Locojoco National Convention,
of ls4s, did pass; and what is more, the Patriot
adopted the principles of that convention, and
supported its candidates. Northern Doughface
and Southern Slavocrat!-
~. That Congress has no power under the
constitution to interfere with or control the do
nestle institutions of the several States, and
that such States are The sole and proper judges
OF every thing upperanng to their own affairs
not prohibited by the Constitution; that all eff
forts of the abolitonists or others 10 induce
Congress 10 interfere with questions of Slavery,
or to lake inclpien, sieps in relation thereto are
calculated 10 lead 10 the most alarming and dan
gerous consequences aud that all such efforts
have an inevitable tendency to diminish the hap
plness of the people, and endanger the stability
and permanency Of the Union, and ought not to
be countenanced by any friend OF our political
institutions"

JUDGE COLLAMER.

The Patriot publishes part of letter written
by Judge Collamer to gentleman in Alabama.
Why not publish The ,ehole, if any? Why not
tell its readers that the Slavocratic wing of the
Coalition complains that Judge Collamer ,con't
exclude abolition documents from the mails p
Again: the Patriot complains because Judge
ColIamer makes distinction between an aboli-
zionist and an anti-slavery man-declarng that
nothing should be done to interfere with slavery
IN The States but at the same time declaring also,
81 am IN anti slavery man; that is, regard
slavery as very great political and moral evil,
ard think nothing should be done by this govern
ment to increase or extend it."
Poor Patriot it only shows its Ignorance or
its malice. That is The very doctrine Of me Coz
iiion Convention Of May 3ist Read the Atm
coalition resoluton-thus
Resolred, That we claim no authority IN
the Federal Government to abolish slavery
in the several States, but we do claim for 1t
consti tutional power perpeiually to prohibit
the introduction of slavery into territory
now free. and abolish it wherever under the
jurisdiction of Congress it exists.

Refreshing.

We beg leave TO refresh the memories Of our
readers by republshing the following deectable
tit bits from the Patriot of Aug. 81, ls4S:
"Nearly year since, some twenty-five or
thirty young lawyers in this state, Wings, Demo.
Gratis and Liberty men, began correspondence
with each other upon the practicability of form
ing a NEW PARTY, tph,ch should control The
State, ana APPORTION THE OFFICES A.
MONG THEMSELVES.
The new party now
consists Of about twenty five young lawyers,
Postmasters, and Custom House officers mostly
Democrats, next The Liberty men, and now aud
then Wing, and this party, now under the lead
OF Horace Everett and the cover OF the specious
and long drawn out name and title of the "Free
Soil, Free Speech Free Labor, Free-any hing
else hdt-can catch a.stray. poe-party," seem bent
upon the disruption of oil stiDltles, poitical,
moral, or religious and fully and deliberately
determined to knock the whole universal ex-
panse into a cooked up hat"
We take it that the Patrio, told the truth
Now, then, let this matter be fully understood
such OF tie frcemen Of Vermont as wish to give
the louves and fishes 10 the "twenty five young
lawyers, Poslmasters, and Custom House Off
GERS mostly Democrats without regard to prn-
cipe will of course vote straight through for
the coalition ticket.

OLD LINE.

Despotic Democracy. John NJ. Barrett was
recently committed 10 Jail in Sparansburgh, s.
c. on suspicion of being an abolitionisl. His
offence was that Of dropping letters into the
Post Office, containing addresses to the white
non-slaveholdefs on Slavery, by native of the
State. The crime of stripping off the mask from
the tyrant. monster in this way, is punishable by
~ months Imprisonment and $1,000 fine. There
does not appear TO be particle of evidence that
the defendant was acquainted with the contents
of the letters
The most high-handed part Of the transaction
is the arrest of the Postmaster of Spartansburg.
A letter was ia his office directed to John Ed
ward Thompson, which the accusers of Barrett
said belonged TO him. As he refused to have
anything 10 do with ii, the P. M. was summoned
TO appear in court and open the letter. This he
refused TO do, and was Immediately arrested for
his violation OF the laws of South Caroina, COM
mtted by obeyng the laws of the United States.
So it seems that Calhoun's kingdom OF soap
bubbles, buster and brag cannot stand except
by overriding every rule of earth, as well as ev-
cry requirement Of heaven.

Mr.. EDITOR: notice in late number of the
North Star an article purporing to have been
taken from the Vermont Patriot, in which among
those OF other leaders of the Locofoco party, The
name of WILLIAM GATES is adduced as being
one of the candidates for Presidential electors
in le4O who now supports The ticket proposed
OF the amalgama,ion convention at Montpelier.
Now, sir, being young as yet scarcely creeping
out Of my teens, and naturally of an inauisitiye
mind, permit me to inquire, through your COL
J umns, of the Patriot, what evidence il has that
the gentlemen whose name it so conspicuOusly
arrays before IFS readers, do actually support
these nominations And more particularly by
what mysterious process has its ascertained that
William Gates man who has been dead nearly
seven years, is at the present time in favor Of
the coalition?
have heard of the Pythagoreon doctrine Of
the transmigration of SOULS but never before had
| learned that the soul of Hon. WIN. Gates had
passed into the body of-a mule. | doubt if
| ii be true.
| Indeed, had the slumbers Of the dead been
disturbed by the shock produced by the amalga.
nation of such opposite factions at the Mon;pe-
lier convention, it is highly probable that Judge
Gates, although very good Democrat in 1912,
would have required much longer period than
from the 3lst Of May 10 The time of the an
novncement in the Patriot, to trace out the tor
tuous winnings, anu eSplOTc inc lhOyTlnn OF
conflicting principles through which the "pro-
gressve Democracy" have passed since 1912, in
order that he might be able to fully represent
the --latest phases" of the Democratic party
II is also very doubtful whether the gentleman
in question, having been a man of considerable
obslinacy ct character, would in so short period
become satisfied to pronounce the old issues,
which have divided parties heretofore, entirely
settled.
Permit mo also to inquire of the Patriot il it
expects by making such random assertions, 10
wheedle the freemen of Vermont into a support
of its ticket? Does il expect tina. by parading
in its columns the names Of the great file lead
ers Of the party, the mass of the intelligent
freemen of Vermont will follow as implicitly as
the minions of despotlc power obey the arbitrary
mandates of the autocrat of Russia !? Does it
intend to prove that the Locofoco party has ever
been the friend of freedom by pompous array
in its columns of the names of its Bartletts, Dill
inghams, and Gateses-men who have spurned,
betrayed and denounced the principles of Free
dom IT,?
All of which inquiries are very respectfully
submitted.

President Taylor's Northern
Tour.
HIS CALUMNIAToRs-HIs VIEWS.

Correspondence oil tho Philadelphia Daily News,
PITTsBuRG, Aug. 20, 1S49.
One most gratifying feature of General Tay-
or's visit TO the people is, that Democrats as
well as Wings have every where greeted him
with the warmest enthusiasm, and have in every
instance become attached to him for his poli.
cal and personal onesiy, Just in proportion to
the amount of their intercourse with him. Con-
sidering the violence and unscrupulousness with
which he has been assaileG-the upsparinp eff.
forts to traduce him, not only by means Of the
yiest and grosscst mis- statements that the hope
Of future and magnificent reward can extort
from fertile imng lnation this universal praise
from friends and foes alike was not to have been
expected. Since the President first set out OH
his visit through Pennsylvania, the pen of sian.
der has been uncommory productive, aud not
less remarkable Tor the originality of its inven.
tons. The anecdotes that have been put forth
in regard to him, by the locofoco presses, are as
wholly and entirely without foundation as are
their authors Of character. In all his CONVERSE
lion, ond in all his speeches, the language of the
| President is plain, chaste, concise, and entirely
| correct. So struck was one OF the most promi-
nent Locofoco leaders Of Pittsburgh with this
fact, that he remarked soon as the Presidents
| speech was concluded on Saturday that it was
the most effectively eloquent and chaste of any
speech that he had ever heard in his life.

The Washington Union.

The Patriot is in the habit of quoting the
Washington Union--when it will answer
its purpose. Why not copy this:
"The People of the Slaveholdng States, in
the last Presidential election, were guilty of
gross ingralitude TO the Northern Democracy y,
among whom ONLY they have FRIENDS, by
supporting candidate or The Presidency (ray-
lor) whose sentiments upon this very question OF
the extension of Slavery were not theirs, and are
not now known; and candidate for The Vice
Presidency (Filmore) who was known to &c a
thorough going undisgulsed .4bOlitionisl."
This suggests counter reflection: the slave.
Gratis of the South are under lasting obligations
to the coalition leaders in Vermont, who sup
ported for the Presidency Lewis Cass, North
ern dough-!ace who was pledged to veto the
Wilmot Proviso; and for the Vice Presidency,
Southern stakeholder (Buler) who was known
TO be thorough going undsgnsed slavocrat

O. There is an adago-by no means COM
plmentary one about the bird that fouls its own
nest; of which we are reminded by the follow
ing article in the Patriot of August lG.
Nearly two years ago we received petty ap-
pointment in The Custom House. Our friends
told us that it would Kill any decent man to have
any thing to do with that concern. We look their
advice and backed out. The result shows that
our friends knew more of The filth of The thing
we were getting our foot into than we did.
Eastman longed to get into this office, and did
his best to keep in when he got it, but the party
wouldn't permit him. Now, forsooth, it was a
very filthy place, unfit for "any decent man"-
Harry Richardson was the man that Eastman
superseded man the locofoco party restor-
ed - the man who still holds this office. We have
known him long as an active, jealous and I'M
fllnchng Locofoco, as such he is now known
we have known that he was poor man also
and we have always supposed that he was con-
sidered very clever fellow, and quite up to the
ocofoco standard of responsibility, to say the
least. The Patriot intimates, however, that he
is not decent man. We commend this touch
ing compliment to Harry, and to his Locofoco
friends in Montpelier, who have for years kept
him in offices of various sorts.

0-5~The following is addressed 10 the Patriot
by an old line democrat.
One Word more from Washing
ton County.

That sold line democrat ouns up. Charley,
and will not talk very hard TO you inasnuch as
an uncommon shoiO appears in your short article,
VIZ. Two truths associated with four falsehoods.
Now for the why.
LIST. His having been and remaining Poslmas-
ter, is not now and never was looked upon IN
political light.
Cd. He did not vote for l.. B. Peck the two
first trials because two certain gentlemen in
Montpelier said he Peck should take the stump
and tell his friends what he was, as others had
done. Subsequently one of thess gentlemen
said he could not induce him so TO do-and gave
as reason that Peck hoped to gain some whg
votes by his silence, and was sd fearful he
should offend Gov. Paine" This old line man
replied,if this is the case will not vote for him
land it was so understood by many other DEM
ocras who did not vote for hlm-and too by some
who afterwards made an awful show OF the fall
ing off vote for member of Congress endeav-
orlng thereby to convince the nominee that they
were ignorant OF the operation, and thus hoped
10 clear their skirts from such an enormty,
which in them was perfectly deceptive, for they
were themselves as deep III the mud as those they
rnlsrepresented were in the mire.) This Mont
peer gentleman said he could not blame any
democrat for taking the same course, aside from
giving the wings Jessie" Oh how pure r'-
Subsequently zoe in this section had lntlnnations
that zoe had been deceived by this mouthpiece,and
that l.. b. Peck was wholly and truly demo-
crat and gentleman, as his conduct before and
after his election eectually proved.
Sd. For the foundation of further remarks zoe
would suggest, that tins same Montpelier gen.
lleman(? )-had better have further conference if
needed, with other free soil men, besides such
as last fall kicked strong anti s'arery resolutions
out of democratic caucus, or such as have
been so long aspiring for /" High offices in this
county. Furthermore, your privy counseors in
this section have considerable glass about their

Look at a!--In 1914, Benjamin Tappan, then
Senator of the United States from the Stale of
