Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1850-08-08


PEck finds any thing unpala,able, we trust he
will not charge it to us. We feel it to be oul
duty TO expose the detestable quackery of the
coalitionsts, cut where it will. We are certain.
ly sorry that Mr.. PECK has put himself in the
way Of getting sore bruises in the melee.
The Green Mountain Freeman and the Bur
hngion Courier are truck and decker organs and
jealous supporters of Mr.. PECK during these
dog days of 1850. Below, the reader will find
how they talked 10 the cool weather of January
last. The .Nai;onai Era is the Free Soil organ
at Washington, and spoke "by the book" we
suppose. The burlington Sentinel is The old line
organ in Vermont. These are The dramaiis per.
soma in the tragedy MIR. PacK occupying the
most striking point as-rieiim.
From the Green Mountain Freeman, Ja6es4, ls5o.
The Old Line Organ.
We cut the following from the Burlington
Sentinel of Jar. lth:
"THE BARS DOWN-FREE DEMOC
RACY RUN LOOSE,
1T seems that Hon. Lucirs D. PECK. mem
Der of Congress from the Fourth District of this
State, votes for Col Fo,ney, editor of the Phila.
ae'ph'a el,"Sy Nah'a", 'or 'ne C'e,ssh'P OF the
House of Representatives. Col. Forney is a
Cass man-is opposed to the Wilmot Proviso out
and out, and hammers the heads of the Free
Sellers with stronger blows probably than any
other man in the Union.

the Green Mountain Freeman-or any of i,s free
soil allies-lf Mr.. Peck is claimed as one of the
free democracy Of this State? II so. we wish to
inquire farther if said Free Democracy did not
pledge themselves in their last State Convention,
TO voe for no candidate for public Office u haferer
uni.ss said candidate be puJiciy pledged In faror
ofhe Viin,ot proriso and lis irmediafe ADOPTION

"Again-wc would like 10 know if Mr.. Peck
can cons s'enty vote for an anti Wilmot proy,so
man tor Clerk Of The U. s. House of Renresen.
taiivcs, what there is to proven, him from sun.
porting an anti Wiltnot provso man for Presi
dem ii the United States, or for Governor of the
State of Vermont? If the proviso test can he
thrown aside in one instance. WHY not in ,prry in.
stance !? And if one member of the Free De
nocracy of Vermont can disregard that tes,. why
might no, euery meabe Of The Free Democracy
of Vermont do 8, with equal CONSISTENCY?
+" II seems to us very much as if our free der,-
