THE WARDsBoRO DISCUSSION,

Ma EDITOR 81 noticed in your last week
ly paper, communication from Erasmus Plimp-
ton, in which he denies the statement of your
anonymous correspondent, in regard to dis
cusson holden at West Wardsboro upon the
question-"ls protective tariff injurious TO the
country - do not take my pen for the pur-
pose OF helping your correspondent out of diff
iculty, for ! doubt not he is able to take care
of his own reputation; but my name having
been used as ii has, by Mr.. Plimpton, and
.haying had perfect understanding of these
things, it seemed good for me TO write unto
thee also" The discussion your correspond
ent speaks of, is fresh in my own memory
The notice challenging as ''many Wings as
choose TO come" was posted in different places
in town, and the one saw in the store of J..
& IL. Rice, was in the handwriting of Eras-
mus Plimplon who did appear at the Inn re-
ferred to, and in his opening speech, declared
his readiness to meet all who might choose to
speak against him and he further pledged
himself to continue the discussion ill he should
convince every man, woman and child who,
would hear, that the tariff of ~ WAS iniu-
rious to the country, and oppressive to the moor
---or, so long as either side had anything new
to offer. Mr.. Plimpton made great flourish
of trumpets by way of defamation, denunci-
alton, &c, as il he expected the Wing tariff,
like the walls Of Jericho, would fall down by
marching round it and making noise. In
fortunately, however, for his case, he was nat
by facts, OF which DIR. Hyde had an abundance
his views of the tariff, at that time, being sub
stantially the same as those of the Wing party
of Vermont, Mr.. Plimpion's statement to tho
contrary notwithstanding. There was no lack
of disputants on the tariff side, some half dozen
being ready 10 answer Mr.. p. every time he
spoke. AT the close of the discussion the sec
ond evening, Mr.. Plimpton appeared quite mod
est-eyen bashful--for when invited to name
another evening for further discussion, he did
not even look up OF speak aud il was only after
much nrging and goading, that he consented
to speak one evening more upon the question at
North Wardsboro.
We cannot suppose Mr. Plimpton both so
perverse and so foolish as 10 deny this discuss
ion, If he remembers it, neither can we think
him so stupid as to forget it, unless it be upon
the suppositon that he was so stunned as to
loose himself for while Chariiably 10 him.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

The knowNoihing State nominations made
on Wednesday, at Winchester, Va. will prove
acceptable 10 the old line Wings and large
share of the Democratic party, disafected at
the nomination of Wise, and sympathzng with
the exclusive American sentiment Of the Know
onngs r-'v~r''s "a ,no Iall ,s,s,t MS
AZ fsiucli, in tie Thirty-frst or Thriy-socond
Congress. Mr. Beale, of the Kanlawa Dis.
trici, also an ex-member of Congress, is Dem
ocrai. The first is for Governor against Mr.
Wise; the last for Lieutenant Governor. The
Attorney General, Mr. Patton, of Richmond is
taken from the Democratic ranks. Altogether
the ticket is strong one, and the canvass thus
far has evidently been managed with much dis
erection by the Know-Nolhing leaders, aud
perfect understanding with all the elements OPP
posed to the Pierce Administration and the
election of Wise. The defeat Of the latter
was regarded as ioregone conclusion FROM the
date of his nomination though since that time
he has worked with surprising industry and a
somewhat captivating eloquence among the peo-
pie to turn back the Know othing tide rep
resenting the new party as affiliated with North
err Abolition both in Massachusetts and New
York. If the result were ever really doubtful,
the present nominations and the further disaf-
lection from the Democracy which viii surely
follow, vii set the question at rest.
The Wings of Virginia of course understand
their game. They have been borne down for
twenty years By the Richmond Democratic Jun
to. and were too weak, even in the Wing storm
of 1910, which swept from power tho Van Blu
rem dynasty, to achieve success. They were
not able tn give the vGio Of his native State 10
Henry Clay in 1874, not to carry the Taylor
ticket in 1913. But they will now laugh at
The calamity of their opponents in this their
day of invasion by the ubiquitous SAM. Thus
writes the Richmond Wig; a
70. "'rhc Wings Of Virginia will he true TO
themselves true to their principles, and true to
their country, and as they have ever done, cor
daily sustain the election Of any man, whether
Wing or Democrat, in preference 10 the nomi-
nees of corrupt and tyrannical Junio. Al
worst, we win only be required to choose be-
tween two evils, and we are sure, as We have
always done, TO take the lesser one But we
are satisfied that The Know Nothing nomina-
lions will be entirely acceptable to the Wings,
and TO the good and true men of ah parties"
BESIDES Mr. Beale and Mr. Patton, there are
aiher prominent sympaihizers with the new par
", General Bayly, Of Accomac, and cx-Gov-
ernor William Smith, both members Of the late
Congress, are among the number. They do
not exactly desert the Democratic party but
decline battle under its present standard bearer,

1876.
JYesimiasier was first granted by Massachusetts,
in 1886, by the name of "Number One" to &c
persons, mostly from Taunton at which place pro-
protors meetings were holden till 1872 Under
that grant at those meetings, steps were taken to
procure recognition Of their grant from New
Hampshire. and no further records arc TO be found
till 1901. Nov. Q, 1862, New Hampshire charter
cd the town with 20 $40 acres, by the name Of
Westminster. New York gave confirmation char
ter Of this town, March lG, 17T2, with 28,5OO
acres. The town was settled at an early day but
the exact time is no, known.
Hhihagaam.--It does not appear that this town
was ever chartered by Vermont or New Hampshire.
Records Of certain grants Of land, made BY New
York, to different persons and Of different dates,
and amounting to 5000 acrs, by the name OF
Cumberiand-whch was formerly the name Of
Nottingham, are in existence. The first settlement
was made in 1870, und the town was organized,
March 70. 1880.

April 20, 1851, with 2s.Oi0 acres. The town was
afterwards chartered by New York, By the name

March II. 1896, and first represented in the legs-

From the above memoranda 1t viii be seen that
the corporate existence Of the towns in this county
have a great diversity Of origin. New Hampshire
and New York both claimed jurisdiction over Ver-
mont before and during tho Revolution; but near
the close Of the war with Great Britain, dislbing
such 4 mixed government, she set up for herself

appears in the Free Press, we find the following:
'The selectmen express their surprise that in
the construction Of 80 costly building as the
