having been utterly repdiacd J as the most
arrant humbug that has survived the Buffalo
Platform,"-we are sorry to see such man
crowded into a false position, and lending his
" good name" to sanction political petty lar
ceny! Mr.. Peek must know that he cannot
receive so large vote a, he received last year,
and we regret to see HIM connected with the
maniiestly "ialing fortunes of poor faction
that never had any elemons of success in it.
But this, after all, is no business of ours, though
we should always like to belt men,, in the Free
Soil party, (like our excellent friends Needham,
or Barber, for instance) whosc success would be
discreditable to the STATE Mr. PECK, we re-
peat is a truly respectable nan. We are sorry
that he is made a martyr to circumstances.
But the Herald as the Patriot the
leading democratic pape' in the Statew What
,0W Mrs Grundy" of tie Sentinel say to this !
The Herald is awfuIiy misled. The Patriot
has not been democratic paper" since that
stupid "3lst of May The real live demo-
Gratis" Of Vermont don'ttouch it with a ten
foot pole" 1t is Free S'e, and nothing else.
though multitudcs of PEOPLE have laughed to
witness its convusivc wgglings to shake off the
Buffalo Platform It carries the Free Soil
banner Of PECK, not he tine>honored ensign
Of ROBINSON. No wing b" democrat" of YER

it grow fat. A democratic paper" Oh,
hcavings!
Til, Herald ais, thinks the Free Press is
"thc State Organ If the Wing Party" in YER
mont. We wish itwerc! But there is no such
"organ.' Each Wing paper in Vermont
islands on its own ottom," and all the "organ''
the Green Mountin Wings have is drum
and banner behind which they are accustomed
to march steadily IN to victory. The Free
Press undoubtedly 7grccs 'cuh Mr.. WEBSTER
in holding the Fugitive Law to be unconstu-
tional, but is prepared to obey it, till it is altered
or repealed or pronounced unconstitutional by
the proper authority
The Herald is a wonderfully well-inforned
paper.
UF"The following letter from Gen. Scott

nothing that so well expresses our views upon
this great question and we believe they are
the views OF vast ma jority Of the right think

hit the happy medium which all NATIONAL mer
admire and sustain. The position which he
maintained in lS43 we have every reason tc

which can be main aimed BY the Wing Party
