Politics in WaIpOIe.

Our neighbors over in Walpole are having
an exciting canvass. The town being pref
ty close each side puts forward every effort.
Our affectionate neighbor in the post Office
here, is stumping the town for slavery and
democracy with vengeance, and on his eff
forts the Republicans mainly rely. We
must rebuke the Walpole folks for their
comments on the efforts of our Argus man.
In some instances they not only declare
that he has told political things not true !
but speak disparagingly Of him as a literary
character. The last Keene Sentinel has an
article on a recent democratic meeting at
Drewsville, and in order that our citizens
here generally may join us in our indigna-
ton at the manner they speak, we copy a
paragraph giving an account of one of his
"stale egg speeches:
The speech the evening made by Atkins Ed
ior of the Bellows Falls Argus. border rufan from
delivered himself Of quantity of slang aud
that would disgrace anything but Democratic meeting
half hour than any body but Democrat could believe
month lie mrepresented in everything that he uttered
Judge of our 7oheiinks when we read the
above! Nor is this all A little democrat
ic fedgling who has just pipped out of a
democratic stale egg nest in this village,
was present. He is thus disposed Of
After this worthy followed another vermonter who evil
IDENTITY thought himself democrat Poor fellow he didn't
know any BETTER
Following this the reporter" says of this
last scion that he claimed the old wing par
ty was opposed to internal improvements
After this display of historical knowledge
his democracy was undoubted. As an ora
tor our Walpole friends very inconsiderate
ly o. compare his effort to an old hen ii
the moulting season!
This is all we get from Walpole TO
having sent them "help," composed of tn,
purest article of modern democracy in Bel
lows Falls. We understand that one of on
pinks stated at Walpole that as 81 couldn'
do anything at home thought woul
come down here and see what / could do.
As this remark is strictly true, no one her
believes he said any such thing.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONED
The Woodstock Standard, speaking of the
candidate for County Commissioner in this

and is well qualified for the office to which
he is now nominated. The Phenir, in speak.
ing OF the matter, well says j: This is an
excellent nomination."

A SLAvE-CATCHER SoLD.-One of
those q. S. marshals, says the springfield
Republican who display more alacrity than
the law requires in hunting runaway slaves,
although not celebrated for vigilance in
other official performances, was the victim
of capital practical Joke, at Dayton, Ohio,
the other day. 1t was whispered in his
hearing that there was a negro in the ex-
press office, concealed in a barrel, with air
holes to allow him to breathe, and that he
was thus being transported to Canada and
freedom. The marshal was soon seen on
his way to the express Office, where he
found barrel with holes in it, such as had
been described, and he was confident of a
magnificent exploit in behalf Of the Union.
Selling a hammer he knocked in the head
of the barrel, and quickly thrust his hand
in TO seize the darby by the wool. Quite
as speedily he withdrew his hand, with &
cry of pain. The barrel contained live
porcupine, and the varmint had filled hi:
hand with quilts. To add to his chagrir
he was called upon to pay damages for III,
barrel. The poor victim deserves well o
his country, and Mr.. Buchanan should
not allow such sacrifice to go unrewarded.
