LAMOILLE COUNTY,

A more determined and more consistent BODY
OF men than those who compose the democracy
Of Lamoille County never lived. The unanmi-
~ aud zeal with which they are putting forth
their energies in the support of the old line de.
mecracy Is scarcely parallelled in Tie history OF
tie County.
The Vermont Patriot, of las, week. with alto
gether more zeal than discretion, really attempts
| 10 Tighten Lanoille County out of It's wits
"The game now is" says the Patriot, at the
county convention called as an old line demo.
cratic convention, winch is in fact Moses Morse
and a. H. CatlIn's Convention, to make tool Of
some democrat if possible who will allow him.
self TO be run and ruined as u candidate for
Senator" Now Mr. Patriot we have to say to
you that you have taken the men YOU Ina ee TO
deal Giia. II run is the game you threaten.
there are more than yourself in the world that
can play at II. You will find that there is more
than one democrat IN Lamole county, old
enough and bold enough and sensible enough To
meet this threat OF yours, aud play at the game
you desire. II will do better for hon to Interfere
with the business Of the old liue denocmcy of
Lamollle in this way when you are less known in
that county. 1t will do for goa % call these
men tools" who do mol change their politics
once year. when you can chin political virtues
equal to theirs. 1t will do for you to nsser, that
whggory has a hand in the conventions of the
democracy, when you are OFT OF the company of
Horace Everett ANA WIllIrm SIude-wben YOU
return from your halfway journey to the camp
of federalism 1t will do Tor YOU to Interfere
WIN the affairs OF the democratic party and talk
OF running democrats when YOU hayp hauled
down from the mead OF your paper the name of a
part OF William SHADES family, and some dozen
other mcn Of Wing principles which the " Free
Democracy" have placed IN nominations and
whom you are striving to elect to public Office.
Why, man OF the Patriot The party to which YOU
belong have threatened TO ruin The democracy
before, ana abused democrats, but they never
| frightened any body out OF their principles yet.
OF deceired any body but themselves. Democrats
care very little what you say, and fear as little
what you predict. John Fdn Buren,, your
leading man, few years ago declared the "na.
tlonal democratic party dissolved" but nobody
believes It IN any State in The Union, aud the
democrats IN LanOile don't believe II. They
don't believe you when you intimate that you eau
run II democrat for standing by his parry ana
his principles. You are not able to do II, Mr..
editor of the Patriot: you and Bill Shade, and
Horace Everett, and John Van Buren, aud the
| grandson Vi old John Adams, all together are
not abe to do 1t, or TO irlghlen any body into
the bclel that GU can do IL. Your friends at
Cleveland the other day, Mr. Patriot, invited
Henry Clay TO one OF your purity conventions,
and host OF other Whgs-and your friends IN
Iowa are united with the Wings to defeat the
democrats ia that state: now you, the ally and
companion in politics, Of these folks, are advising
the DEMOCRATS oi Lamole county, what they
shall, aud what they shall not do These
democrats perhaps remember what you told them
a year ago-that the Free Sod party iVas Hum
BuG-and perhaps they don't believe you are
precisely h2ntd now. They perhaps remember
how you told them that 1t was the Tree soil party
