TIE New York Spn is authority for the

cradle of A eolitiOnism, and the politicians
are loudest in the cry for equal rights it is
certain that in no othcs part Of the Union II
the present day are the eolored people so
kekt undsr. They are never permitted to
raise their voices in the legislative councils,
and the petty Office of village constable is
the highest to which any member Of their
race has successfully asplred, either in
Massachusetts, or Rhode Island. Crowded
together in the slums of the larger cities, they
are keptin Estate of mental and moral degra-
dstion, while the charitable societies who
send missionaries to Fejes look with lofty
seorn on the colord heathens in their midst.

voters thereof, to aid in the election of
such village officers us will personally
and officially use every proper effort for
the suppression of the unlawful traffic
in Intoxicating liquors.

absorbing the attention of the best men

WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Montpelier and vicinity has been con-
siderably stirred up of late because of
the selling III that village of some dis

H. o. Bosworth. prominent and
wealthy citizen of Berlin. 1t seems
Mr.. Bosworth peddled ont a certain
part of Il SOW, which came to her death
under somewhat peculiar circumstances.
and used the remainder in his own fam
lily. The facts became noiScd abroad
and Mr. BoswOrth was arrested in he
half of the state, and afterwards for
private damages. The private causes
were settled by arbitration. it being
left out to three private citizens. who
adjudged that the defendant should pay
each of the two plaintiffs so. The
matter has made Il very unpleasant
odor. especially about Mr. Ellsworth.
and having been quite freely ventilated
in some of the Montpelier papers. Mr..
Ellsworth publishes Il card in which he
acknowledges he did wrong. but utterly
denies any intent of wrong and the
fact that he used a part of the meat in
his own family without harm would seem
to suhStantiate this. He humhly asks
forgiveness of all who are aggrieved.
and hopes God will forgive his neigh
b0rS who are now prosecuting him. 1t
Is Il lamcntahle case, especially for Mr..
Ellsworth and his family. who have
heretofore stood well in thai ro.lnu-
nifty.
