gunners, the report was followed by bad odoF, but
mand The guns being defective, mot like the Irish
mans that killed at botb ends, burst in the mid
die, bespatterlng the commander with Democratic
solution, from the cesspools of hypocrisy misrepre-
sentation, cowardce pro slavery slang and the most
foolish inconsistencles One more such performance
would make nm, even among the more enlightened
and civilized of his own party, one of the most
contemplate political scribblers this side of
South Carolina. The Courier and the Bellows Falls
Argus were at loggerheads about the non-iuteryen-
ton swindle, but as they are now both working at
the usual tricks of the party they ought to lay
down the Ratchet as coolly Douglas has his prnci
pies, and Buchanan the rein of Government Hear
the Argus Secession is not confined to the South,
but is rampant in New England Vermont is to-day
as much Secession State as South Carolina, any
of those who about embarkng in the experiment
of Southern Contederacy. We repeat it-Vermout
is actually as much Secession State as Georgia
Alabama "
Hear the Courier: 'The Republican part, is al
ready split to pieces, and i'll three months hence,
when the thousands that expecting office will
be disappointed the end and doom that party will
be sealed" Why cannot these model editors
meet and shake hands over the secession Vermont

that some people judge others motives by their own,

his sage conclusion by being secessionist himself;

that honesty not the exception among Republicans?

Shame! portion of the northern Democratic
press have constantly been dealing out slaudgrous
accusations against Vermont and tie New England
States These vile papers, by a of persistent
falsiyng and misrepresent1g the Sentiments OF the
people Tor mere party purposes, have caused much
OF the hatred that now exists South towards the IeO
PIE Oh the North, and especially New England. And
now, as II to add insult TO injury and keep in tune
with their usual Inconsistency, they first find fault
with Buchanan for not enforcing the laws then harp
against coercion then advocate compromise,
and faer every Republican who shows signs of tim
idity and then, last of all let the Union and COM
promise 90 and raise the cry that The Republican
