words y As to the Generals personal obi
gsiions to the noble democracy of Vermont
We have only to remark that nc received an

ever before received in Vermont or anywhe re-
else M State in TIE Union ever gave 50 small
vote for a regularly nominated democratic

And VIC are compelled to add that our opinion
is that every time that distinguished sword
breaker is presented for the SURFACES Of Yer
vote will be "slnal by degrees, and beautifully
esa.' If there is man in Il universe that is
P'ca.Ir!y qualified to cS'rdage votes in YER

should be given out that that was what he was
after,

Free States the prompt and total suppression

ton" Now everybody knows that it would be
extremely inconvenlent" for the Free States
OF this Union to suppress the liberty of speech
and the press, and our opinion is that Mr.. Bcr-

: Societies we are willing to admit TO be unne-
/ ccssary nuiSances, and we shouldn't care pin
if thcy were all suppressed" They only
miSrepresc't the true feeling of the North on
t the subject of Slavery-which is simply that OF
resistance to its further cricnsiOn, and of oppo-
stloa to lis existence wherever 1t may be Con-
