THERE are many good Democrats in the
State who would rejoice to see their cause
defended elsewhere than in a smut-mill. The
exceeding low and vicious tone OF their or
gans strips the Democracy of all its dignity
and causes those who are to cast theiI
maid, votes IN the coming election very
naturally to inquire how can principles,
correct Of themselves. be strengthened by
constant SANDER. scurrility and defamation
If the Democracy of Vermont had bettel
teachers, or as some one aptly terms It
..ex-pounders," its prospects would bs
greatly enhanced - Vermont Farmer.
