VERMONT DEMOCRACY"
The Ncp York Nc,cs, democratic sheet
published in the city of New York, seems to
be pretty thoroughly posted in the affairs of
the Democratic party Of Vermont, and many
of the disclosures recently made in that paper
are decidedly rich The manner in which the
spoils of Government patronage arc dealt out
at Washington is exposed with a frankness
that bcspeaks for their authorship pretty
thorough acquaintance with the details of the
matter in this State,--more so than it seems
possible that one so far removed from the
scene of action could be.
According to the Ne,cs, the "Smalloy dy
nasty las it terms the government officials
in this State-has had almost the entire con-
troll Of the Democratic party in Vermont for
the last few years, and has fed itself and par
ticular friends from the public crib almost
without let or hindrance. As to the truth or
lalsity of the articles referred to. we do not
pretend to say but ono thing is very cvi-
dent.-whoovcr has had the management of
the thing, has guarded against any expose
which the Democratic press ofVermont might
make, by providing every Democratic paper,
with ono exception, with a good fat office.
Tho Bradtora Telegraph. however, sueins 20
have been passed by or overlooked by this
same "dynasty," and as a consequence it has
taken up and endorsed the articles published
by the Neirs, backing them up with still fur
ther disclosures, all of which place the
" Smalley family in bad fix before the
Vermont Democracy. The burlington ScRG-
mel, the accredited organ Of " Smalley & Co,
and whose publisher is postmaster at Bur
lington, takes its Bradford friend to do" for
its impertinenco. In reply, the Telegraph of
Dec. ?. says
