ED. CHRoNIcLE-Dear Sir The resolu-
tions adopted at our meeting seem TO have
''initated the animals in your region. A
sure sign that they have hit the marx precise

Independent Mud Machine wakes furious,
makes room for few more lies on the Re.
publican party, and winds up by general
anathema upon the whole party, consieninR
US all to eternal perdition; but / hope he
has not sufficient influence at the court Of
his celestial majesty to secure the adoption
Of his policy towards the party which has
lately come into power. Yet, even he does
not dare deny the charges that were made
against him by that meeting. / hope YOU
will pardon me for thus noticing Z sheet

nestle misfortunes of political opponent,
or who can crowd thirty-six lies in TO exactly
four square inches or nine lies TO the SQUARE

that he was from home that ! have done so:
but will leave him TO wallow in his own
chosen mire Of obscenity, profanity and
biackguardism, and proceed to notice the
rquirmings of Capt. Heaton. That gentle
man, like the Mud Machine man, wakes
furious over and abuses the resolutions and
their authors, without publishing them. He

alone are responsible for the existing state

some Of us. are descended OF the country
which furnishes the Green Mountain bows
and which struck the first blow towards the
acquisition Of that freedom which the Re-
publican party is now laboring to perpetuate

such Of us as have New England ancestors
are proud to assert it, Notwithstanding, q few
tories made their way to the coasts from
South Carolina and other places, and burnt
blue lights to guide the enemy into our
harbors: But WHO'S now engaged in burning
blue lights TO light the enemies of our Gov.
