and the Smyrna Times the chief-0fliars
among the five Abolition papers of this
State In its last issue we notice several
articles containing false charges, and scan
dalous and malicious Misrepresentation
which, did they not cmanate from such a
source, would be entitled to contradiction.
The Times seems determined to lie it's wav
through, and we deem it a waste of labor
and of paper and ink, to attempt to stop it.
1t will swear that its party is right, and the
Democratic party wrong, even though the
former should blot out the last vestre of
Republican institutions, and place a Rus

All of the above we copy from that vera
clous journal, the DeJa,carcan. 1t must have
felt greatly relieved after throwing off such
load. We will not retaliate by conde-
scendlng to the same low abuse and en-

begging the question shows weakness some

some monstrous deformity in the Peace

knows and is trying to shuni it, we give him
credit for deeming it a "waste of labor and

transmitted. II Is quite lengthy, and
commences with an injunction TO place
our trust In the Almighty, who alone
can safely guide in the present nation

riotic spirit which has so nobly mani
tested itself ia the outpouring Of men
and means for the support Of our be-
loved institutions, and gives touch
ing tribute to the women of Vermont
who have so cheerfully contributed OF
Of their hearts best affections in sup
port of the glorious cause. After n
detailed statement of financial matters,
he gives the number of soldiers raised
for the different Vermont regiments,
and after various statements respect
ing military affairs and State institu-
tons, closes by enjoining each and all
to do their duty, firmly relying upon
the Almighty to re-establish peace and
unity In our now distracted country.
