GLORIOUS NEWS ~

Gus netos"-shouts the Patriot. All then the
fact that David Robinson stood out was rather
gloomy was it! 1t was dispriting sign for the
loaves and fishes, was ii? 1t would seem so
and such seems to be the opinion of David
Robinson, who declines because he thinks his
running "woud aid tho Wings" John S.
Robinson also backs up David, who says he was
against the condition but now goes for it, "be
lieving that opposition will only tend to perpct-
uate Wing power in Vermont" We quote this
10 show the principle on which David and John
s. cave in. 1t is not because they are Free Soil
men: there is not one whit Of Free Soilsm
bout tlem-at least they own and profess none
but they cave in simply upon the ground that 1t
will harm The Hhigs! Poor David poor John
the very thing which we Wings like would be
to have no third Ticket: the naked question -
COOLIDGE or NELDBAM,-an honest wing or
dishonest truck and decker locofoco-is just the
issue we would like. As one of the Wings of
Vermont, therefore, we thank these gentlemen
for their course. Would that the Old Liners
we're equally accommodating but we must add
that they are not, as they have put Gen. JONAS
CLARK upon the course in David Robinson's
place. But to the Patriot again hear ye!
"FRIENDs OF FREEDOM, AnOusr--1Hr DAr DAWN, !!
AWAY Win SLEPT"
This is grand specimen of assurance. David
Robinson is no convert to free soilism-he re-
penis not of Hunkersm he nbandons not his
slavocratic sins; but he does clearly indicnte n
settled and cunningly devised purpose to demoi-
ish the free soil party, hip and thigh-,ooth and
nail The Patriot evidently thinks the Free
Sellers no better than "slcepy Davids," or
soid ounces, to be put in any position at the
word of command. Just read David Robinson's
explanation of his course. Here it is; and we
invite for it the careful consideration of every
nnti.slavery man:

Bennington, Aug %, lo49.
Does David adopt free soil principles? There
is not word OF tina, in his letter Then hear the
Patriot shout
"Frcnds of Freedom, nrouse!-the day dawns-away
with sleep /"
Does David repent of Annexation, of Gag
Rules, or Of Cassisn? Not bit of 1t 81 sill
adhere (says DAVID 10 The same political princ,-
plies ,0hich Ihaps eper adoocaicd.' Now hear a.
gain the blast from Calcb's bugle-
"Frend' of Freedom, arouse the day dawns-away with
sleep!"
But what was David really at when he stood
as the Old Line candidate? He didn't like the
coalition of May 81: that Is evident enough
from the fact that he stood for two months as an
old line candidate. What did he want? A
NEW BAReAIN!-that exactly, and nothing else.
In his view, The Liberty party was not sufficient
| ~ cheated in the May bargain; the platform,
was too strongly anti slavery, perhaps, and SO
he was waiting for the coalition senators and
representatives. to meet in October and wHrrrLE
and TRIM OFF the coalition platform, SO as to
admit all the savocrats of the Hunker School
to stand upon it! Hear David himself:
