Wing and Democratic Economy.

The late I~Ocofoco State Convention re-
solred that the Wing party in this state had
become " essentially corrupt as may be seen
in its acts and their necessary results"
These results are enumerated as follows
Hr@,-' In the diminished population Of
the State.
Second,-' In the increase of taxation con-
sequcnt upon expenditures 50 enormous as to
have more than doubled since 1876"
THird,-''In Il loose system of accountable
iy on the part Of state cheers
Fourth,-'. In the dissipation Of the school
fund"
Fttih,-' In the undue fostering of corpo-
%rations, and the consequent discourascmcnt of
individual enterprise.
SitH,-'' In other actsof wastcfulncss and
mal-administration all which demand immc-
diatc and thorough rriorm.'
\ more unlucky set of positions could not
have been taken. Not one of them can stand
the slightest touch, or has hardly strength
enough to stand alone long enough to be-
looked at. But the notion that there had
been an awful waste of money hv the wings.
if it could be only made to take possession of
the public mind, would work wonders and
forthwith the broad assertions and implira-
tions Of the resolution were put forth, and
were at once taken up by the regular mouth
pieces Of the party as so much gospel truth.
\ succession of homilics on the degraded
and abused condition of the state under whig
administration, was at once got up, and the
faithful were pressed with the solemn duty
which rested upon them, to spare no effort
and no sacrifices to rescue it from such ma
rauding and sq%uandcring managers. The
more the sermon was repeated, the more
pathctical the preachers bccamr.-the longer
their faces grew, and the more mournful were
their tones.

Free-SoiI Party in Chittenden County
NamOscd.


The Free Soil party in this statc,-so far
as Chittcndcn county is concerned, is practi-
cally diShandcd by its own public act, Let
us see if amy other Interpretation can be put
upon its conduct.
The Democratic party held its county con
vcntion hacked up the action of their state
convention in most direct terms and nomin-
ated their men. Suppose now no choice Of
Governor is made by the people. The case
has happened and may happen again, In
that ease three Of their men--thc senatorial
nominces,-if elected, will he called upon to
aid in making IA Governor. We're not all

in their power towards the appointment Of
their party candidate, Mr.. Robinson W,

not all. There is to he chosen IL t.. 5. Senator
