have full delegations and so show that the
Green Mountain Boys are neither dead nor slum-
beriny.
n Sign. The Patriot copied an article last
week in favor of the annexation Of the island Of
Cuba. We have looked over the article to sec
whether the Hii,noi Proriso is attached as a con

HAT democrat, who is caught in such compa-

respect" 1t might lead people to reflect upon
the course Of one Mr.. Eastman from the coal-

Goa, ;rmdtion and Explanation The Freeman
admits that the Rogue's March lcds played at the
Hale dinner, on the announcement of this senti-
ment: "1he Buffalo Platfoim-axoms in 1913
treason in lS52"-and suggests that it was
done in compliment to Daniel Webster, and sun.

near as he could distinguish, certainly not ten y

much afraid that he did not vote at all.

No TO VIM Lloyd Garrison's proposition fo
the Immediate abolition of slavery. Perhaps tn,
follow ing paragraph will shock the delicate sen
sblhes of our amiabe friend; but we can

such sentiments are publicly promulgated.

We abide steadfasdy by the doctrine 0
Washington and Jefferson, and of Vermont iron
the beginning, against Slavery, but we do no
hesitate to say that the man who sustains tina
resolution is an enemy Of his country and Of hi

The Burlington Courier announced the ap

Patriot declared that there is no T. Eastman il
these parts, though there is one in New Hamp
