MiddIebury.

Mr.. III. suffered long and severely from
consumption. He resided some time in
Rutland and was highly respected. He
died at his fathers residence.
Died, in this village, on the 18th
inst, after a severe illness, Mr.. Amos
Bell, aged so years. He removed to
Middlebury, short time since, from
Weybridge He was a very upright
man, and his loss IS deeply regretted,
not only by his immediate friends, but
by all who knew him.
Our farmers are busily engaged in
haying. The yield of grass is almost
unprecedented. In some instances, grass
is taken from the meadows, where it is
cut, into pastures, to dry sufficiently for
the stacking, or putting into barns.
Other crops are doing finely, and bid
fair to surpass other years in quantity
and quality
Merrill NOurse, who was, on the 9Th
inst, bound up by Justice Upper, of
East Middlebury, in the sum of $500 to
answer to a charge of uttering and offer
ing forged check, was, the past week,

very worthy man, came on to effect his

of the charge brought against him. |
trust it will prove a warning to him and
also all other young men, not to he led

The foundation for our new railroad
depot is progressing finely, and we hope
ere long to see a SuperStructure worthy

A REVIEW OF Mr. GREELEY.
One of our Democratic citizens, up
ON reading the news of the nomination
/ of Horace Greeley as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, threw to
ed it the ''Greeley Flag" The thought
occurred to me, what sort of Il flag we
should have had floating in the breeze,
if Mr.. Greeley could have had his way,
when he wrote and published in the
TrfJune of November 9, 1850, that
''whenever a considerable section of our
Union shall deliberately resolve to 90
out. we shall resist all c0ersive measures
designed to keep it in" Is the Greeley
of 1860 the Greeley of 1872? The Dem
ocrats say he is. Well, if So, we have
nominated for the support Of the free
men of Vermont an out-and-out scccs-
sionist. ! have no particular fault to
find with the Democrats in supporting
a spccssiOnist for the simple reason, that
it is not inconsistent with the previous
course of the party. But for Repub-
lican who fought to overthrow the mon
strr secession to strike hands with the
old enemies of the Union and elevate to
power the bittercst rebels of the nation,
seems madness in the extreme. The
Democratic party will never forgive
President Grant for his gigantic efforts
to save this nation from ruin. | am glad
to know, however. that there arc thou
sands in that party who will never for
get Gen. Grant and the brave army he
led in the hour of national peril and dis
aster. But the Democratic party, rs
represented by its acknowledged leaders.
seek to restore to power class OF men
who not only waged war against the ma
ton, but starved to death the brave sol
dlrr7 or Vermont in their prison pens,
and also accompanied this starvation
with the most inhuman fortunes in their
power to conceive and intiiCt. Look at
the recent Democratic Convention in
Baltimore. Who made it up from the
South ? Why, cX-rebcls who boast their
time now is come to get into place and
power once more. when they can lay
their plots and plans to destroy the ma
ton, and rear up a cOnfedcracy, restore
negro slavery, With ali its horrors and
float the secession flag amid tAcofa aud
wells more bcfittinG pandemonium than
nation of Intelligent, high-minded free
men. The spirit of these rebels was dis

throw rur government and trail our til4
in the dust beneath their uuhal0WCd
feet And vet with all this, we are
cody asked to join them in this uuhoIy
work. What did Horace Greeley say of
the Democratic partyin Feb. 1871? He
said, and it is in the 1ribnue, that "thr
brain. the heart. the soul of the present
Democratic party is the rebel element at
the South, with its HorthC17l allies and
S4iapGthjzcrS. 1t is rebel at tn" core IT,
day. It would come into power with
the hate. the wrath. the modification of
ten bitter years to inlpcl and 4Mjdc its
steps II would devote itself to taking
off or reducing tax after tax, until til"
Treasury was deprived Of tn" means Of
paving interest on the national debt. and
would hail the tidin4s al national bank
ruptcy with unalloycd gladnf9e and un-
concealed eXultatiOn. Whatever elias
tiscmcnt may be deserved for orr nation

iatiSD will Inc SHARED lis y
Thus wrote Horace Greeley in 1871,
and where stands Horace Greeley now.
He is the standard-bcarer of the same
party that he declared was ''rchrl to the
core" He is labOring to restore 'thiS
rebel element at the South with its
Northern 0tGcy ant sylap0thtzcI~'' t. the
highest position of place and power in
the land. to direct in the financial opera
tions of the government, destroying its
credit at home and abroad. Yes. and in
libprty-lOving Vermont we are asked to
aid in the work. Republicans who will
aid in the work are no longer Republic
cans, and they should be honest enough
to drop the title and take one that more
fully and truthfully describes them as
individuals and partisans. But we are
told that Horace Greeley is an honest
man. Well. | once had that opinion of
him, and only surrendered it when | saw
him switching from the Republican
track onto the Secession track, thence
back again to the Republican track,
thence again onto the Democratic track,
and abusing his old friends, forsaking
his principles and joining hands and eff
forts to break down the party that he
helped build up, and that made him, up
10 this last flop, with all his Vagaries,
trusted man.
But say, Liberal Republicans, we
know what we are about we are going
to convert the Democratic party to cor
rect principles and make it honest, and
old Horace is so pure-minded that he
will win all the Democrats over to the
