RECORD OF THE REBELLION,

o. We have been tempted, sometimes, to
speak harshly of the Patriots veracity and hon.
esty in political matters, but universally, VIC
think, it has been in cases where either the
Waterman or the Wing party has been abused
Here is n slap at our neighbors, from the Bur
lington Sentinel, with which we could wish to
have nothing to do but as the "od line Dem.
ocrats' have no other convenient way Of getting
the needlul inlormalon we copy it, promising
that it must be taken entirely on the Sentinel's
authority. We have not examined TO see which
is the rogue.
DECEPTION OF THE VT. PATRIOT.
We never saw more transparent attempt to
deceive the democracy Of this State than was
made by the Vermont Patriot Of last week. II
any democrat in The state who Is in any manner
acquainted with the political character OF our
pronluent democrats can any longer place reh
ance upon II paper thus driven to willu and open
misrepresentation, we are sorry Tor human ma
ture.
Under the head of "Who are for it ?" the Pat
riot publishes lis, of names nearly column in
length including democratic candidates fr va
rous state Offices in times gone by. This list
contains III the WHOLE bot forty two different
names, and OF these fpry-two only TWENTY

the defeat Of the democratic candidate to the
presidency Their example or course then can
deserve no respect from democrats, ard WHEREBY
er they are now, II makes very little difference
to democrat of last year.
But where are those democrats of this list
who acted with us last year? 10 the whole col

But the Pdlri0t goes farther in its impudence
