o. Sometime since the Mortified Stor
asserted that the WOtchman was "whipped
into the support Of Gen. Taylor" by the
Wing State Committee. Last week the
Fremont Patriot, with its usual aptitude fol
meanness, changed the story from the Wing
Committee to dead man--the late Coy
Paine. There is not a word of truth in Ell
ther statement, nor was there the slightest
Inconsistency in the course of the Watch.
man. Until Gen. Taylor put himself on
ground decidedly superior TO his opponent
on the slavery question, the Waterman re-
fused TO support him. When he did do
that, the Watchman zealously supported
him. For the time and character of that
support, the Waterman has no cause for re-
greet. Its leading article was published
through the anti-slavery regions of New
York and Ohio, and W. received the thanks,
privately, of eminent politicians for the SER
vice. But, what is better, the course Of
Gen. Taylor, after his election, amply justi-
fed the confidence which was reposed in
him. Had he lived, the slavery question
would have been settled, and settled right.

The report of the town agent for the sale
of liquors shows very great reduction from
last years sales. The prime cost of the Ii
Guors sold last year was about $1,000, -this
year il will be less than $1,000. As this
years purchases were of much better and
more costly liquors than we're procured for
the year preceding, it is considered that the
actual decrease of sales is not far from two
thirds. This Is the result of rule Iequir-

very sentiment which was SO cordially en-.

they made so much noise over What will
