tious," and every man" is cautioned to " avoid
the alliance of factious Free Sellers" and 1t is
gravey prophesied that the name will be obi
Gus to all future generations, until 1t IS forgot
ten!" What has wrought so great change in
the organ of Vermont Taylorism? 1t is but
short time since that every Wing was true
Free Soiler-as much of Free Soiler as any
one who supported the Buffalo Platform few
weeks since, the doctrines Of that Platform were
true old fashioned Wing doctrines! Before the
advent of General Taylor and his installation at
Washington, the principles advocated by the
Free Democracy were worthy of all praise -
Now the support of those principles and fixed
determination to carry them into practical opera
ton, is broadly denounced as "sectional," fac
tious," dlsorganiziDg," and "plotting against
the stability of the Union by hot headed ianat-
les and heartless demagogues!" and all this is
said by mouth piece of Taylorism in Vermont,
in the face of the fact that the recent State con-
vcntion CT that party have nnt forth resolutions
embracing the same sentiments as those contain
ed in the Buffalo Platform, as part of the creed
Of Taylor Whiglsm, to the support of which that
party is pledged And their resolutions are con-
tanned in the same paper which denounces the
support of these principles by the Free Democ-
racy as "endangering the stability of the Union"
and as worse than participation in the "EIartford
Convention! !" Will some great LIGHT of Tay-
lorism condescend to inform the people why, if
the Wings are supporting those resolutions as
party doctrines, it is not ust as sectional,"-
'tactious" -" disorganizing"- "fanatical"
in them as it is in the Free Democracy How
manifest it is to any discerning mind, that the
profession of those doctrines by the Wings, while
they are bitterly assailing the Free Democracy
for supporting them, is urrant hypocrisy? The
scales think must fall from the eyes of the hon
est Wing Free Sellers, when they sec this spec
linen of duplicity and political knavery; and this
is but sample Of what will soon be seen in all
the Taylor papers of the North. No man can
be pledged, party Taylor man, unless he is
willing to become identified with opposition to
Free Soil principles, as being sectional" and
dangerous to the Union The short sighted and
plant tool Of the pro-Savery clique at Wash.

If the Wings of the South believed that the
Wings of Vermont intended to carry out the
sentiments of the resolutions in practice, does
any one suppose that they would remain in fra

Vermont with any maledction for passing reso-
tons, similar in language and principle, with

Free Democracy pledge themselves to carry out
those principles IN action, by the support of can
ddutes pledged to maintain them while the
Tayloritcs, at the same time that they profess
these principles, belle them by sustaining pro-
Slavery Administration! If the declaration Of
certain sentiments in relation to Slavery and its
extension at Buffalo, is "sectiona,," lactious,"
