THE VERMONT ELECTION.

For the sdi6caton of the National Itegsncer who
oced over the result of the Vermont election make the
following from the Inquirer wing paper, pub
lished at Bradford, in that State
ave have seen all parts the State,
and have hestancy in saying that the long heels have
carried it by a considerable majority We have no
wing yet that feels like rejoicing this election. Most
wings hang their heads in shame. The State might have
been Overwhelmingly whg but the eversh anxiety of few
craving Office has forever ruined the wing party in
this State by selling out soul and body aboons
Abolitonism has indeed shown herself abandoned and
shameless prostitute We have often her tavor openly
sold the highest bidders She is always in the market
rcked with false jewels false hair false eyes, false teeth
and false heart ready for coalition with the depraved and
eager to and corrupt the green and inexperienced
. So notorious has been the corruption of aboli'
sm that of late years. has pretended approach
her without holding his outstretched hand the price OF her
favors She works for pay-pay is all she She
kno no difference in all is fish that into
her net The wings have her in their loving but
il was only by desperate effort and by the payment of
exorbant price, that they enabled thus to un
fold to their the scarlet beast of Babylon.
'We suppose that the whg absolutely obsolete in
this State All who adopted the resolutions Of the Rutland
and voted for aboitionists surrendered their
whiggery and tried by this test probably there not
whig elected to the legislature
I'VE are sorry that the whig party in this State has
thrown itself the of abotionism but the seduct
arch deceiver and corruper of men
proved potent for unsophscaed friends. Time will
demonstrate the folly of the step and may Heaven grant
safe deliveianceW
There is something in this overcandd confession thai
reminds us of recent distinguished senator from YER
mont who was rejected because he was not far enough
down in abolitionism.
