VERMONT POLITICS.

ing else could induce the Secretary OF state
to attack the Wings 80 bravely--nay, so fe-
rocously-ss he has done Of late. We do
not believe the annals of party warfare, lal-
ways excepting New York show a greater
want of candor, magnanmity and truth, OF
more wanton and unwarrantcd attacks on
the officers Of the new state administration,
&C. &c than can be found in the Wing
presses. SO says the Secretary. Now zee
have read the Wing newspapers, and ave
do not believe tina, one Of them has exhibit
ed snch lack of candor, magnanimity
and TRUTH as has the Secretary himself in
the article from which we have quoted We
believe no Wing press has yet attacked the
Secretary Of State, or even alluded TO him,
except by way Of publishing or noticing
some of the manliesloes Of his opn beiored
Free Soil brethren in some Of which, It is
true, the Secretary has not Jared quite so
handsomely as he might wish lie sinks
from the real foe, and pitches into the wings
/ How "magnlnimous ~ But waving per
/ sonalty. let as look at the Secretary's bill Of
/ particulars:
"Thcy the Wings cry aloud, in holy hor-
ror. Mt the number OF banks and other corpo-
ratons chartered when IN fact they joined
every local clique wishing a bank, and went
in body FIR the grant"
Perhaps the Secretary calls this candor"
and truth :" but we beg leave to differ
/ lie has entirely mistaken the point Of the
Wing structures on this subject The Wing
party is not, and never has been, opposed to
banks and private corporations, but IN favor
of bo'h. On the other hand the democratic
party has rallied at both, and at the Wings
particularly for favoring both and when the
democratic party in the last legislature chose
to 60 the whole length for banks and private
corporations, "and a quarter overt GER
tainy was very proper for Wig presses 20
remind the people of the fact Fact 1t IS
Mr.. Secretary-and the fact will stick, in
spite of your grumbng.
