The Constitutional Convention.
THE DEMOCRACY cur A STUMP Z"
BURLINGTON, VT

&C., &C., went into a series OF extra ordinary
paroxysns of Joy over what it called "tri-
umph" over " long .eam, slaughter house whig-
gerry" Nothing could exceed the vocierous
exulta'ion Of these bogus organs of bogus
party They hurraed, and screamed and
yelled and went into ecstatic spasms over what
they were pleased to speak Of as great popu'
lar manifestation OF adherence for the WING
PAEry Of Vermont! No cbnliton of pure
bogus was ever stronger! The Patriot vas on
stills, and the Courier and Brandon Post got
up very feeble imitation Ct the high t'luln'
iubla,ion Of that ex,ra-b' gus paper. On 'hc
6 Of December the Patriot, after giving " re-
suits 50 far as ascertained," said -
"D Democratic minority 10 II the remaining %
towns have all elected Long Team, and not more
than half Of them can have done 81, ihr b'hor'"tIc
majority will be reduced, only, to % hut cannot oc
overcome, GAGGED OUT, nor DKAEhhDuVr'
This was very solemn and omnous, and the
Patriot, being the only cypherer, had 1t all It's
own way! Democrats" and d" Free Demo-
crats' were mixed mp and COMPOUNDED, by TINS
trimming and ambitious " leadet" of dcmocra-
cv.intAe looscst and most unnlcligiJlc man
nerl l. mt down IIuST of St. Adams, PAH-
Low Of Fairfield, SrouGHToS of Chester, and
other very respectable gentlemen, as not only
&" l.nncrats' but Free Democrats Patriot.
Eastman, Villas g. Co, Bo5Us dcmocrats,-
and all went on swlmmingly! The " demo-
cratic" majority in the Convention would not be
lessthan Fifty, the Pd'ro declared, and long
team WhiggcIy" was ilater than sheet OF
zinc! On the 9Th Of December the Patriot
adds to its returns and says -
"lq towns to be heard fromDelnocrntic majority
30 far, So"
Democratic majority so far 5o!' Great
fines in the Jarseys!' Great is Bogus, and
Barber, Villas 6 Co, are its Prophets SIangh-
er-house whggery has caught it this h"'e u
j, never did before. FIFTY democratic m'J"-
,i,v. sou,u out the deulci organs Of b'gu,!
On the Goth of December, the Patriot appa-
,ontly subsidies into that delightful state OF self
complacency which is so favorable for growing
fat and .aucy." 1t has reached the climax
of democratic triumph" and wakes lazy
and selfish Ii gives the result in all but seven
towns, which shows a democratic majority
of47, and significantly says -
"Ifthe Delegates should bring the names OF fer
hundred nptp SujsrrberS Just at this time 1i Long
Team attempts TO break IL down, we Sh0nl" not re-
fuse to accept them, ESPECIALLY Is THEY FAD ~ Az
VANCE.
Can a more elevated condition Of sci-comp'a'
cency be conceived Of! In view Of the ilerct-
lean and ,rjpmplra labors of the Ptriot TO
transfer" D,mocmcy' to Bogu~,' ans to play |
the VERY devil wiz laug.toam and S,angh'er-
house iag ~ lis happy proprrtorS will
conde>ccnd to receive "a few hundred new
s.5.r. Iar-' if the pcnitcn and humble app'i-
can. =. pav in udvaace.' TIE Patriot WAS
ey.... " done taking rye!' / was at the
to- O.. ,uc hcar, and was not Only, n us own
conceit1 come pumpkins" bat pretty much
every thing else in tic Vegetable King
dom! 1t felt at liberty to snab the democra-
cv" in an indirect manncr,and fix conditions
upon which the fold could be united. You
oM-liners, suggests the PIT lot, are cookbook
Ing but you cant e)me in unless you pay in
advance" All -
- On the 9th of December, the Patro,
figured up 40 "domocrats' and 50 - long
team"-anJ evidently felt as happy as clam
at high tide"
