Es0" UPPER Township now pays
something more than one thousand dol.
lars year for the relief Of the unfortu.
nate and the destitute. Elizabeth town.
ship, we were yesterday informed, by one
Of its citizens, pays seven hundred dol.
lars year for the same purpose. How
much is paid by the other ownships we
cannot say; but one fact is evident, that
if the other twelve Townships pay as
much for that purpose, in proportion to
their population, as Upper and Eliza.
beth pay, that the poor rates Of the coun.
ty for this year, would be sufficient to
purchase land and erect house Of Ref.
uge, for the afflicted and tho unrortu.

The doctrine Of selling out the poor

vide for them is shame and scandal TO
a free State like Ohio, and burning dis.

the Know Nothing papers reported thai
q majority Of the voters Of that State be-
onged to their lodges. If that state.
mont was true, il would appear from the
result OF the vote at tho recent election
that tho Order had, some time since,
reached It's zenith, and that II is now in
a state of decline.
Christianity and Democracy are two
moral sovreignties that it is hard to sub
due. Ia Virginia, the issue was distinct.

Know Nothingism, and the democrats

odontist drank off his glass, but Verdance con-
templated the other with sorrowful counte-
nance.
Il have always observed, 0 friend odontist,
said yerdance, that beer drank before dinner
disturbeth the internal arrangements, and min
gleth not very well witch the juices OF the sys-
TEN. Therefore, o vendor, cause to be brought
forth tunnel, II will even preserve this beer
for my dinner
And the tunnel having been produced, he
poured the beer back into the bottle, and depar-
ted for his hotel.
Meanwhile the odontist said nothing in calm
voice.
But Verdance had scarcely reached the door
wav when he discovered friend, and the gods
put another idea into his head. So raising the
bottle, he smacked his lips, and straightway in
vited the friend to come and partake of dinner
with him, saying
Rise, o friend, grid up thy loins, and come
with me to dinner, for have here some beer,
enough for us BOTH
So saying, he gleefully shook the bottle.
Then the friend departed with him, and gen.
erously did Verdance treat him, at the expense
of the odontist, with a huge half glass of excel
lent and costly beer.
And the odontst, having been witness
thereof, departed, making horrible grimaces,
and has never been seen more.
Judge from this. O reader that it is not
good to abuse one friend to please another, in
order to gain the appearance of generosity, lest
perchance the friend may disappear as did the
odontist. Such a man would borrow clothes of
his friend" BETA.

The WASHINGTON COUNTY CONVENTION, was,
considering the peculiar press of the business
of haying among our farmers on almost the
only good hay day of the week, unexpectedly
well attended from the different parts of the
county. Our present excellent county officers,
as will be seen by the proceedings, were all wise
ly renominated, and the whole proceedings were,
we think, more than usually harmonious and
spirited.
We hope our friends in all parts Of the coun-
ty will, at once, set to work for thorough or
ganization for they may depend there will be
work enough for them to do, if they do not in
tend to let the election IN this county 60 to swell
the triumphs of the Administration party, which
in the position that party has now placed itself,
can be considered nothing less than the triumph
Of the Slave Power.

STREAMING A POINT,

the efforts of the editors of the Patriot to prove
you Nebraska man, knowing very well that it
is Eastman's intention to come out anti Nebras-
ka as soon as this Administra ton is over. Yet
| have wondered at their rather peculiar mode
of action. In their last issue, for instance, they
insult Judge Baldwin by coupling him with Joe
Langdon. They abuse one friend to please an
other, and, at the same time, gain the appear
ance of having involved you in scrape Great
thought Subtle policy!

move of Eastman's of an anecdote, strikingly
analogous, which read, not long since, in an

TIE N. Y. TRIBUNE on RUssA.--Among the
queer freaks to which the chief conductor Of
this paper-which generally goes for free prin-
oiples-is periodically subject is his late stand
for Russia, against Turkey and the Allies. How
ever little the people of the Free States can
sympathize with the Allies, they certainly should
have no sympathy for despotic Russia, the great
slaveholding government ofthe old world. All such
sympathies should be confined to the slavehold-
ers of this country, and, with the exception Of
the above named, and the trammeled presses of
the Administration, we think they are confined
to the South where almost, universally, we have

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF VERMONT

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF VERMONT
A sense of duty and responsibility, connected
with the recent action of the National Council
of the American Party at Philadelphia, de-
mand, us we think, the State Council Of the
American Party of Vermont, to present an ad
dress to their fellow citizens, embodying and
declaring, as briefly as consistent their views
upon the great questions so deeply agitating
the public mind at the present time.
1t is we'll known. that platform embracing
the principles of the majority of the National
Council was adopted at Philadelphia, and pub
lished 10 the world, bearing the signatures of
its officers
This platform, among other things laid down,
embraces theory and doctrines upon the subject
of American Slavery utterly at war with the
spirit and feeling OF the American Party of this
State, repugnant to the Federal Constitution,
and at war with the highest interests of our
State and Nation, and subversive of the happi-
ness of our race
With this declaration, supported az we think,
by the facts in the case, wc deem it a duty we
owe to ourselves, our country, and to posterty,
a duty rendered sacred from the obligations
resting upon US, and the oaths we have taken
as lreemen to support tho Constitution of our
country, and resist any and all attempts to
weaken its force and power, to sustain and
perpetuate the blessings of Civil and Religious
Liberty through all the States of the National
Confederacy, to declare our undyng hostility to
that political theory and doctrine upon the
question Of Slavery embraced in the platform
Of the majority of the National Council. 10

ton, it becomes necessary to examine in detail
the propositions of the majority platform allud-
ed to-

Shareholders warmly take sides with Russia.
This is but natural, and grows out of the neces-
stiles of slavery, which not only sympathizes
with the government that sanctions it, but is
seen to require such government to sustain it.
And, if ever our Union should be dissolved some
kind OF Monarchy, or, at least, oligarchy, will
be established over all the Slave States.

THE AMERICAN ADDRESSES As the American
party in this State seem likely to constitute an
important element among the combined forces
that is to be arrayed against the Slave Power
and its Northern abettors in the coming election,
we have concluded to give this week their public
addresses entire, having before published their
platform, with such comments of our own as we
thought the occasion required.

STILL ENOUGH LEFT FOR SEED.-A collection
of Old Line Wings did hold Convention at
White River Junction on Wednesday Of last
week, as they announced in their chosen organ,
the VI. Patriot, and nominated a State ticket,
consisting Of John Wheeler, of Burlington, for
Governor, and Hubbard Wright, of Bradford,
for Lieut., Governor, and G. W. Prichard of the
same town, for Treasurer, and appointed dele
gates to the next National Wing Convention to
be hcld--in the moon, probably, next year. We
heartily commend. their choice Of a candidate
for Governor; for we do not believe they could
have found, in all Vermont.a better embodiment
Of Silver Grey Whiegery than President Whee-
Ter. Next year, every one Of these fellows will
be found among the slavery party of the North.
