The Belo,cs Fails StGnddrd.-A week or two
since. the Bellows Falls STANDARD contained an
article commenting Edmund Burke in his at
tempts to ccnsure the President. and abusing
the Patriot for sustaining Gen. Pierce against
the attacks Of BURKE. Last week the Stan
dard contained an equally foolish article upon
the Democratic State Convention, and by divulg-
ing the secrets Of the committee room, attempts
to produce the impression that the democracy
were seriously 1vdeh.
We regret these attempts Of the Standard to
aid in traducng the President, ard in sowing
discord among the dmocracy of this State. II

Uhnrs in the Wind-The leading editorials
in the two last numbers of the Bellows Falls
STANDARD, are under the charge Of Mr.. a. g..
Burke, we have read with surprise and regret.
Two weeks since, Il attempted to defend the
base and cowardly attack Of Edmund Burke Of
New HAMPSHIRE upon President Pierce and his
administration The last weeks issue contains
an attack upon the action Of the late Democra.
tic State Convention. and some of it's prominent
members, who succeeded IA harmonIzing the
difference Of opinion that at one time existed in
the nominating committee.
II has been equally unfortunate and unsuccess-
ful in both cases. therefore shall not rcpyto it.

The Democracy of Vermont are now rs unit

possible for that paper, even with the aid Of
two or three disappointed oliice-se ekers, from

We think the above IL not very mapnaninous
in the people about the Patriot, who seem to be
governed in the iuldlment Of their political over
lures only by the dictates OF self.intcrest.
As for defending treason, the people in this
region, had they been disposed to engage IN
such work, would have enough to do in times
past, wit bout going cast Of Montpelier; and we

More .Ntrs The Patriot assures the public
that none Of the men, except three, on the fee
soil ticket for Washington County are to be
claimed by the free soil party, either now or af-
ter the election. II this be true, it is somewhat
surprlzing that the gentlemen implicated by the
Patro, permit their names 10 stand on the free
soil ticket. lfthey do belong to the old line
democratic party, and do no, belong to the free
soil party, somebody interested had better invite
them to define their position.

remarks of the Washington Republic on the
resolutions Of the Vermont Wing State Con-
