The Vermomt Patriot ranks Mr.. Winthrop Of
Mass. among the dough-faces. and then arrsigns
the Wing members of Vermont (all shroudcd in
black for voting for him as Speaker. The Pat.
riot was dated Aug. Is but printed on the l4th
Reader, just look at the proceedings OF the Sen
ate on the l4lh,-and you will find these facts:
Mr.. Chase of Ohio moved to amend the New
Mexico territorial bill by ctring the Win'ot pro-
u,so.
On that motion the yeas and nays were taken
and Mn. WINrHor vorED-AYE.
This is not the first time Mr.. Winthrop has vo-
ted for the Proviso. He moved to affix it to the
Oregon territorial bill, and of course voted for
his own motion, which he has defended more
than once in bis speeches.
Now look little farther in the list of yeas
and Nays on Chase's motion and you will see
that Messrs. BENTON of Missouri, "a favorite Of
the coalitionists,) CAss of Michigan, (the man
who was supported for the Presidency by the
Patriot, and by L. B. Peck, Thos. Bartlett jr, J.
P. Kidder and sundry other coal,tion candidates,
Dodge of Iowa, and Sturgeon of Pa, voted
NAY. These are the oush-faces-locofocos
all. No Northern Wings are to be found in that
nest.
Comments are unnecessary. In the light Of
these facts, the Patriot man is as black as the
lines he has chosen to display.

Fourth District.

The Convention at Hardwick numbered a.
bout one huadred and fifty, and better Wings
cannot be found any where-whigs who are
Wings in every sort Of wind and weather.
Bliss NJ Davis ESQ. of IIardwck received the
nominations gentleman of fair abilities, sound
always does his duty fearlessly and faithfully
Mr.. DAVIS is the man whose services in convic.
ting the notorious Bristol Bill, At the last tern
Of Caledonia County Court, nearly cost him hi'
life.
We are pleased to see the North Star CONF
promptly up 10 the support of Mr.. Davis-vigor

ces are all against him. ain le4s," says the
Star, he was on the fence for quite length Of
time however, he attended "free soil" con.
vention ut Hardwick, there made a speech, bul
finally, hardly knowing which way to turn, 70
ted, as is supposed, for Gen. Taylor" Reader
this is most excellent praise-for The Star. 1t il
getting exceedingly near the tru,h-tor the Star
You must recollect the Star was then Cas- or
gan. bitterly opposed to free soilism and Wing
gerry: of course it is not TO be expected that lhs
Star could 60 the whole figure with Mr.. Davis
nor even appreciate justly his position. W
we're better acquainted with him, having enter
tanned the same feelings az he did in tho osuvs.,
of ls46-so we venture to put the Star on thu
Wing; we mean by that, al,rays Wing, and
ai.0ays for free soil. He deliberated, a. thous
ands of other Wings delberated, as to his duty
in reference to Gen. Taylor: he supported Tay
lor at last, as thousands of other free soil Whig'
did and what is more-he and they have neve
found occasion to regret that decision. Free
soiism has been safe in the hands of Taylo
Whigs-the treachery has been found in thu
skirts of locofoco doughfaces, as usual. Nov
a. the Star has become free soil paper, it vii
of course give Mr.. DAVIS a decided preference,
over that arden, anti-free soil supporter Of Levi
Cass, THOMAS BARTLETT, JR. Consistency re
quires this; Mr.. DAVIS position and characte
require this-for. says the Star in conclusion
"soe sC;A admit that he is pretty smart telIoso"-
On the whole we must repeat that we are vel
pleased to see the Star SO decidedly commend
ing Mr.. Davis to the support of every genuine
free-soiler. On that point there can be no doubt
Mr.. Davis is decided in his opinions and hal
been consistent in his course-he has never sus
tanned a dough face. That is more ihan can be
said of his opponent

Northern Railway Route.

Snow and Wilder, Boston, have published q
convenient and valuable description of the Rail-
way Routes, via the Lowell, Concord, Plymouth,
Northern, Vermont Central and Passumpsic
Railroads, illustrated by handsome maps of the
sections traversed by each road. We commend
this work to travellers, but we cannot refrain
from expressing the wish that a more perfe Ct
travellers Guide" could be furnished, indica-
ting the spots for 6uding striking scenery, &c.
&c. In this respect, Vermont is not appreciate
ed with any degree of justice, nor is it possible
that she can be 30 long as travellers are content
to take the railroads only. To know Vermont,
one must leave the great thorough-fares, which
are in the valleys, and take the back bone roads.
The hills and mountains of Vermont are her glo-
~; and they are infinitely more beautiful than
the famous hills and mountains Of N. Hampshire,
which have been the fashion for years. One
who has seen all, says the White Hills are BY
no means 30 interesting as Mansfield mountain.
If he Is correct. Camel's Hump may be set down
- superior 20 either. Of course we mean not
in heighf-but for the views which are obtained
Of the surrounding country, rich and cultivated
10 the very mountains, extending from the VIII .
Hills of New Hampshire to the ranges in North
ern New York, and from the Southern Green
Mountain range to tho highlands of Montreal in
the North, -embracing almost the whole Of Lake
Cbamplain ITSELF and the whole Of the great
basin in which It lies, and the valleys Of all Yer
mont's principal rivers flowing both into the
Lake and into the Connecticut. We speak nov
Of Camsrs Hump; but Maus6eld, and the noun
tains and Lakes of Northern Vermont are also
we'll worth the attention Of travellers.

Cotton Manufacture.

Valuable Faas-Thomas H. Dodge of Nash
ia, "a Green Mountain Boy,) has published a
very interesting and valuable pamphlet, entitled
"Review Of the rise, progress and present i'm
portance Of cotton manufactures in the United
States, together with statistics, showing the
comparative and relative remuneration of the
English and American operatives" We gather
few facts.
1885, Spndes I,422 600; yards manufac-
tured 400 zoe, 600; males emPloyed-l4,0 600; fe-
males, 1900; wages of both Sl3 ,655, 200.
ls4a Spindes 100000; yards manufac-
tured 9ls0O0,0O0; males employed $4,000; fe-
males $4,000; wages of both ga, 10000.
Thus it will be seen that the business has been
doubled in ten years. Shall this business be en-
couraged, protected, and increased? We put
that question to the farmers and workingmen of
Vermont, along with these facts.
The operatives employed in 1913 was $4,000,
and the wages earned s27, $4,000. If it is bet
ter for you to have $1,000 yankees taken from
your ranks, employed, and earn this money, than
it is to keep these operatives in your own shops
and fields, and employ $4,000 English :aborers
and send yoar own money to pay them you will
90 for encouraging home manufacturers.
Again: these cotton manufacturers annually

Starch, pounds. 100000

besides immense quantities Of beef, pork, butter,
cheese, corn. potatoes, &C. &c. Now if you
think it wiser to keep this market for the produc-
tons Of yankee soil than to yield it to foreign
soil, you will 60 for protection.
But lie protection ,oanied7 We answer, in a
statement Of facts from this pamphlet:
In the II years 1883 to 1s4s) the pay of la
borers in the American Cotton Mills
was sos, 1860, 300
The pay according to British prices
would have been only 66.995 $50
Excess Of wages paid by the Amer
leans, 36,e61 800
This is vast difference. Shall it be reduced
by reducing Tie pay If yankee Labors Ii SO, a.
way with professionalism with wages, work
harder, live poorer, and deny the children Of the
operatives comfortable shelter and clothing and
the means of knowledge. If not so-then the
difference must be maintained by yankee inge-
nuity and BY yankee advantages III producing
the raw material-and both kept at the safe
point by securing to them the home market-in
other words by protection against the cheaper
labor of England.
