Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1868-01-15


The Democratic celebration Of the Sth Of Janu-
airy at Montpelier was a breach Of promise. Our
reporter, an old Jackson man. rcconnoitered the
camp and withdrew with dignity, reporting to us
that "he wished to keep out of bad company e.
The magnates did not come from far and near. as
had been promised; John Quincy Adams the
youngest was as far from MontpelieF as was his
grandfather behind Con. Jackson in the Presiden-
ual race Of ls2s; aud the only distinguished
/ guest from abroad we have heard Of was Charley
Spalding OF the Boston Post, who improved the
opportunity to come home at the Posts expense.

Democratic party none in its cause. strong enough
for any public demonstration Of democratic SYM
pathy But we venture to say there were Repub.
icans who remembered Cen Jackson with honor
on that day. We thought Of the victory Of New
Orleans; Of Gen. Jackson's hearty recognition Of
his coored troops as fellow citizens !" and Of his
toast in defiance Of John G. Calhoun, to wit:
The Union and the Constitution--they must and
shall be preserved All these things are terribly
distasteful to coppcrbeads who opposed the war
