VERMONT POLITICS.

We repeat what we have said before that
General Pierce has appointed no man to office
knowing or believing him to be a free soller
and he stands pledged to correct any such up
pointment into which he may have inadvereni

Is postmaster {. G. Eastman, who holds his
commission from Flank Pierce a free soiler or
not? If not, how came the free soiers to sup
port him for Senator If he is, how came Frank
Pierce to appoint him and will he remove
him Didn't Frank snoto Charley
By the way it is worth notice that post
master Eastman charges the responsibility Of the
coalition of 1919, between the locos aud free
sellers, upon he Washington Union; which now
protests that Frank Pierce appoints TO freesoil-
ers to Office. The organs want tuning.
While the Patriot claims that the Washing
ton Union advizcd the locos to coalesce with the
abolitionists IN 1919, the Union itself is very
gravely assuring the Democracy that Vermont
IS given over to the Abolitionists and the Abo-
luon Whgs" thus:
Vermont appears to have been so long given
over to the Aboltionsts and the Abolition Wings,
that II may well be doubted whether any thing
useful can at this time be done for her by the
sound Democrats within her borders. Yet it is
gratifying 10 perceive that faithful few still
keep the old Democratic banner flying there,
AMI nscribe upon It's folds the sound national
and patriotic sentiments embodied in their reso-
Jntions. II such men fail to bring their own
State intO the democratic line, they may find
consolation in tlie fact that the democracy hold

The reliorrs Falls Standard continues the
fight with the loco ohicohoders-as follows for
instance:
Z" We learn from several Of our democratic
exchanges that We have lately made an attack
upon the administration. We saw several things
two weeks ago, which seemed to intimate that
such rumor was ailoat among our brother Post
masters and Collectors at the North, but II was
not until last week that we noticed they had the
fact established. How was i brother Editors,
did you get together in the garnet of the Custom
House at Burlington and pass vote that YOU
were wounded and considering yourselves the
administration, make out the attack IN that way
Or did the Collector himself drop note to each
Of you, stating that he felt a sharp stuck through
his pantaloons, and therefore something must be

to suggest that the ocoioco party has rarely

The editor of NE Freeman has examined a
thermometer, and discovering scientifically that
the weather had become warm, he suddenly
boiled up. His first flop was at ourself-so:

This Is the first time that we have had the
honor Of receiving so many titles. 1t is a con-
ISOLATION to think that they come from a man who
has been in his day Wing National Republ-
CAM an ant-mason, loco-foco, coalitonist,
and free soiler,~"all things by turns, and moth
ing long"
1t is quite possible that the editor Of the Free
man JUDGES US By hiR.selE. we protest against
it. The editor Of the Watchman has not failed
to express decided opinions upon Hunkerism,
Free soilism, the Compromise, and the LIQUOR
law and if The editor of the Freeman wishes
10 enlighten his readers upon these subjects. we
advice him to take the files of Tie Waterman
for the last few years aud copy our articles 80
In our opinion the Freeman would be vastly I'M
proved by the process.
The next fop Of the Freeman was also at our.
self-tllus:
add he, or did he not, last fall, advise and
induce Governor Fairbanks to take out that part
of his Message which he bad originally ntrodn

for reply."-ffteHon.
NO, SIR. Governor Fairbanks message new
er contained part line, or word, rec
commencing the passage Of the Maine Liquor
Law !" 60 il would have been altogether imper-
linent in us 10 do any such thing as the Free
man suggests. Again we say NO7 to the Free
