Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1854-12-29

going 10 introduce politics into the
department, of the Plow and the
Hoe. 1t is bad enough to have too
much of it, and of too poor a quality,
in the department state. There are
Know-nothings al d Do-no,hings in
the agricultural as well as the politi-
cal field. Our present object is to
take advantage of the signs of the
times" and suggest that the new and
successful party of Know Notiings
have something TO do, worth being
done, il they would merit the name
Of true Americans. We commend
TO their attention and the attention
Of American farmers the following
hints from the N. Y. Times:
Now that the Election is over, il
may not be indicate to ask favor
of the X. Ms that have set all the
people to sneezng SO prodigiously.
Gentlemen Know-Nothings, our hat
in our hand--we are yours truly
The Times begs your kind assistance
in Strengthening out the world.
The foreigners run off with the
gold that our steamers bring up from
California every week, or rather we
run to give it them in exchange for
scores Of kinds Of good, that ough,
to be produced in our own fruitful
land. Is it righti There goes a
brother member-no, it is Sam him
self. He wears coat made Of
broad-clo,h from England, vest OF
French pattern, pants of cashmere
from the same gallant country, which
our Know Not-too much Minister
was not good enough to pass through
unmolested. He carries a cane from
India. French boots pinch his
corns, foreign buttons adorn his
coat, an English watch ticks in his
fob, and when he stops to speak with
you he takes Scotch snuff. Go home
with him, and in a Turkey carpeled
parlor, by fire Of coal from Liver
pool, he will! offer you TO smoke
cigars all the way from Havana, or
to drink brandy that pretends 10 have
come from Bordeaux.
Enier-Mrs. Sam rustling in
foreign silks, carrying in her dainty
hand fine handkerchief of foreign
linen, and delica,ely scented with
foreign perfnmery.
Stop to tea-An exhilarating cup
OF herbs from China, Infused in a
pot Of Britannia ware, poured into
porcelain cups from the Celestial En-
pires sweetened with foreign sugar,
and whitened with milk that was
made rich with foreign chalk.
Shame on Sam for the aid and
comfort he gives foreigners We
want that gold at home. Let the
allies pay for their foolish fighting ia
paper money. Oh, Sam! isn't
American cloth fit TO make Goa,
Off American pants good enough
to wearl Do not sticks enough
grow in your native forests I Are
not American caliskns tight enough
But we will not say word about
that. The miners have behaved
worse than Greeks during the sum
mer past. IL you can afford sea
coal, burn il and spite the Pennsyl-
yan,ans. The tea herb is little
refractory, 200, on our soil, as yet
and il il does not master rs, the Tor
eign may be tolerated but for the
pure wines and brandies, let US urge
YOU to" beware of foreign influence
and when you go TO " wine din
ner," lei us advise you to "put none
but American champaignes on duty, y
they are comparatively harmless
since il must be terribly depraved
palate that can fancy enough of then
10 be the worse for their influence.
But Sam travels sometimes. Yes
10 his shame, by railroad over Welsf
rails, and very poor ones at that, 81
be takes a trip in his yacht, the fav
oring breeze filling his Russia sails
though there is good cotton duck o
domestic manufacture abundant il
the market. If Sam is sick, hs
sends for a doctor--a " travelled doc
tor" Of course, who can parleyvous
and tell the names Of all tie bones il
Dutch, and has attended lectures OF
"the Continent !" and he shove,
down dose of foreign medicine
Or he tries the virtues Of some littls
pill man, who has acquired BIZ
in6nitestimal theory and practice, ans
Ill but his sugar and milk pellets
from q German enthusiast Blu

lessions. and is laid in America,
