"vermont a Secession State"

Secession is not confined to the South, but is ram
pant in New England. Vermont to-day is as much
secession State South Carolina, any of those who
about embarkng in the experiment of Southern
coniederacy.
We repeat it, Vermont is actually much seces-
sion State Georgia or Alabama. Falls Ar
gus
The above clauses constitute the beginning
and the ending of the leading article-a column
long-in the BeliorS Fails Argus of this week.
They are a fair representation of the entire ar
ticle. From beginning to end it is made up of
slanderous accusations of Vermont and the New
England States-of gross misrepresentation of
the sentiments of the people, and of perversons,
or bold misstatements of the facts of history.
And it is but single sample of what is of
habitual occurrence in the leading articles of the
argus. We know of no more bold and malig-
nant alsifer of the truth than the Bello,cs Falls
argus. 1t is to the malevolent, and persistent
slandering of the great body of New England
people by such papers as the argus, that great
deal of the hatred of people of the North which
is now so prevalent at the South is chargeable.

SOUTHERN LoGIC.-The palpable one-sided-
ness and absurdity of the arguments and COM
plants of Southern secessionists as compared
with their recent acts, are set forth by the New
York Erening Post in the following pointed and
concise manner -
The Southern secessionists claim that they
have right to abrogatedhe federal constitution
entire, but deny that the people of the North
have any right to abrogate the smallest provis-
ion of it, This is supposing that the Personal
Liberty bills are unconstitutional.
They claim right to sieze illegally, and by
force of arms the property of the federal gov
eminent, including its mint at New Orleans,
with half a million of dollars, but they deny to
Northern men the right to seize one poor negro
by legal process to ascertain whether he is en-
titled to his liberty or not.
They form coalition of States to resist fed
eral authority and commit overt acts of war up
on the General Government but consider it
great outrage for the State of New York to
place men and money at the disposal of the
latter for the maintenance of the public order
and peace.
They break every constitutional agreement
and compact of law and honor, seize forts and
arSenals drive out or besiege the federal troops,
resort to the EXTREMIST acts of revolution, and
while declaring that they are the most peacea-
bic people people in the world, fire on the Star
of the West, an unarmed vessel sent to supply
Fort Sumter with provisions, and denounce the
magnanimous forbearance of the government
as the most "demnible" coercion.
They claim and exercise the right to travel
all over the North Ito which there is no bari in
pursuit of business or pleasure, with the most
unrestricted denunciation of northern institu-
tons, but abuse and expel every northern man
who visits their territory though his Inns are
sealed and his conduct in every respect be I'M
offending and blameless.
Southern merchants, agents and clerks con-
tinue to reside at the North, unmolested in
their business and pleasure, while the South ex-
pels all people of northern birth unless they
bow down and worship the god Sldrery-not
excepting female music teachers, and the sick
who have been accustomed to take refuge there
from the rigors of polar winters.

closely to the shaft. What dangerous and
Notifying occurrence.
An Illinois paper states that during the late
canvass, Mrs. Douglas bet 800 that she would
sleep with the next president She has evident
ly lost the wager. Abe Lincoln is not an Aaron
Burr, either socially or politically.
Parson Brownlow of Tennessee says he has
discovered the reason for the hostility of South
Carolina to Lincoln; in 1880 Gen. Lincoln re-
fused to surrender Charleston to the British
forces, although the Charleston people went for
surrender, "and the South Carolinians have
hated the name of Lincoln ever since"

NARROW EscAPE,-On the night ofthe oath
of JAN, Mr.. c. ID. Carpenter OF Huntington
was caught out in driving snow storm and
completely blocked by an insurmountable drift.
In trying to extricate his horse and sleigh he
lost his hat and gloves, and found he must
leave his horse in the drift, or run the risk of
perishing himself; covering the horse with a
buffalo role he made his way to a dwelling, and
though the family were absent he succeeded in
making a fire, and spent the night in safety
His hands were severely frozen in the previous
exposure. The horse was found alive and un
harmed, and what was remarkable, she had
cleared herself from the sleigh.
