As ArrEcrIoSATE ArPEAL---The Vermont Pa
triot Of the slst ut, contains an affecting appeal
10 the old Wings Of Vermont to remember their
principles, and to refrain from voting the Ameri-
lean or Republican ticket. Il is truly refreshing
to witness the affection the Patriot mancsis for its
defunct opponents.
The Patriot further states that In several coun-
tics, in windbam among the rest, tickets have been
made up Of oil the opponents Of the secret political
organization called the Know Nothings; conse-
quenty this latter organization IS the only party in
the field arraycl against the Democracy, and that
"a rofe for them Is an open and direct rOie agdiHsi
''he naturalization" Ofeourse the Patriot rcck-
ons every vote cast against the candidates Of the
convention Of the 18th, in this county, as a vote
for the Administration Of Franklin Pierce Do the
voters Of this county SO understand it and II 10
will they be found in league with that Adminstra-

In A SAD PREDIcAMENT.-It is currently
reported that the veteran Democrat of Wards
boro, who ''goes il blind' for his party under
all administrations, is sadly perplexed about
the Post Office in his village. He fancics he
has made the important discovery that the
present incumbent belongs to the Americ n
party. He has accordingly been looking
about with his laniern-aiter the manner of
Diogenes but not for the same object.-to sec
If he could not discover some pure and unde-
filed Democrat with whom to supplant the
present occupant. But his search has thus
far proved fruitless. We recommend him to
adjourn further investigation until after cleo
ton, when, il he finds some old Wing who
votes the ticket nominated on the 2lst, he will
need proceed no further in his hitherto unsuc-
cessful labor Of love. A very suitable candi-
date, one standing on his platform as laid down
in his call for town caucus, will then have
turned up.
