call. On the whole, the business Of this
thriving village seems TO have returned, and
the din of the workshops is again familiar to
the ear.
PuT Down THE TRAITORS AT HOME. |
1t is quite as important TO put down the |
traitors at home, as down south. north |
ern traitor is a more despisable piece of
humanity than a Southern one. A south
ern rebel fights for what he thinks is his
own section Of country, while the northern
one turns his back on his own country and
the government which has protected him.
Elsewhere will be found an account OF a Sc
cession demonstration, at Norwich. We
heard about one of them while at the con-
vention at Montpelier. On receiving the
news from Richmond, that Mcclellan had
retreated, this man was at the depot in that
place, and grabbing his Boston paper, jump
ed into his carriage and drove with much
haste to the village, where in fendish extacy,
he exclaimed, "Hurrah for our side Nc
Clellan has been driven thirty miles from
Richmond p We have this on the best Of
E authority and further more, this same man
was member of the Bellows Falls conven-
! ton. Behold now the fruit of this mans
teachings in Norwich. The old flag of the
united States cut down and tramp,ed upon
in Vermont! Is there not spirit enough
left in the old Green Mountain State to
send such men Immediately to Fort War
rem The man or men who will engage
/ in such business as that which has just
taken place at Norwich, should be shot on
. the spot.
But we have a few ofthese soul destroy
ing, and God defying traitors here in Bel
:. lows Falls, and it is high time that they
: we're made TO understand the difference be-
:, tween free speech and free treason. If it Is
right TO arrest persons for talking Treason
in Baltimore or Boston, it is equally RICH
to do the same thing here. 1t may be san
they are so few, they can do no harm. Blu
this is not so, the meanest thing on cart
has its influence, and accordingly whe
these northern rebels talk their blatent trea
y son in our streets and public places, the
i are bringing, or doing what they can |
!. bring our government into disrepute. w
! are informed that few days since one {
* these men at store in our village, decla'
j. ed that 1.-THE federal government was no
Ten, bankrupt concern, and not worth ba
rel Of pork
Now it is plain TO be seen that the etfe
!. of such Infamous languagei is to destroy co
4 fidence in the government, and thus "gl
:, aid and comfort to the enemy" Does su'
- language, falling upon the ears of our your
80 men, encourage them to enlist
When our government is denounced,
-, not "worth barrel of pork" will our YOU
g.. men feel like enlisting TO fight tor the pr
!. servation Of government, which older M
:, denounce and for which they have no re
meet? We trust tue number who will
p deferred, by such traitorous Language, ire
j, serving their country, is few, and yet
nv doubt there are some who are affected, a
~. thus these home traitors more etfectual
=. aid the rebellion, than they would If tn
were to shoulder their musket and go do'
south, and join the rebel armies, where th
properly belong.
ie Bellows Falls is earning most unenv
ny Bile reputation for treason. Expose sec
o"- sionist in Guiltord, or Windham, or MI
W chester, and the head ofthe secession sna
a. ar in this place is Immediately raised IN tn
defence. This treason should be etfectua
~ rebuked, and if the contempt of put
opinion here is not strong enough to stop
then let them be marched 10 Fort War;
or some other place where all traitors GU
to go.
