eral Grants position, and thinks his letter
recently brought ont by Congress puts him

Union standard bearer in 1868, they twill
be morally certain to administer Wilder
ness defeat to the forces of ValIandiCham
and Pendleton Democracy"
The Rutland Courier (Democratic) advo-
Gates equal taxation or reputation" and
declares that ''the old political issues are
most of them settled" and "new issues are
daily coming up" In another article un-
der the head of "Tricks of the Radicals, :,
it assails the clergy, and what it calls ''reli-
glous aud other papers, such as the New
England Rdrmer and Vermont Record, that
make pretensions to neutrality in politics,
and yet are the most bitter and dangerous
enemy the Democracy has to contend
with"
The Courier also hauls down the name of
General Grant for president
The Rutland Herald of Monday discusses
the removal of Sheridan in connection with
the recent message of the president lauding
General Hancock, aud says that " when the
deed was finally consummated, the rebels
of Louisiana crept from their hiding places
aud Kissed their delight; loyalty stood
amazed and disheartened, and the execu-
tive in his mansion received the congratu-
lations of the traitor and assassin whose
hands were yet red with the blood of the
murdered loyalists."
The Battleboro Record makes its an
nouncement for 1868, declaring that it was
born. Graded, and reared in the teeth of
opposition" but has surmounted all OBJ
staces." 1t says it will "not make politi-

not make the discussion of political eng

Hamlin, of Maine, who was so unwisely set

ter 'seems to extlnguish even the New York
1fibuRe's meandering doubts" as to Grants
political sGundness. In another article it
discusses the report of the agent to the late
state temperance convention, which it char
acterizes as ian excellent illustration of the
intolerant spirit which animates the pro-
hibitionists.n

article on President Johnson's message
