Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1859-06-03


The blush of honest Indignation must sui-
fuse the check Of every patriotic citizen when
he reads the following list Of Rewards and
Services which we copy from the Cleveland
Leador. A more scaly set Of devils than this
appears to be could not be desired as candi-
dates for tbs service Of the State in the penl-
Tertiary. But here we have notorious law
breakers, robbers thieves, and murdercrs, APP
pointed by Mr. Buchanan to erccute the laws
to serve the State in the capacity Of oXpound-
crs and administrators of those laws which 1t
has been the object of their lives to violate or
cvade to trample under foot, abrogatc or ig-
more.
Such is the material found to be necessary
TO the success of modern Democracy re-
quisito to practical illustration ofits prinei-
pies. Is it any wonder that the honest men
Of the party both North and South arc de-
sorting it; Could they do otherwise and re-
tain their self-rospect:
