Wflttimontntc 3nuninl. BY , P. WALTON, JR. MONTPELtER, APRIL 21, 1854. VERMONT POLITICS. On the 01st of March we copied an atti da from the Middlebury Register, the gilt ef which wis that " mi North mcst be Visited," together with a resolution of the 'Rutland County anti-NeWaka convention, and an item from the Vermont Tribune all H of similar import. These articles were ac companied by brief remarks, indicative of our own thoughts on the aubject ; and tlic ' 'WDOle wa given to "onr readers, aa " im portant suggestions" simply as snggeatlous to he reflected upon. On the 7th of April, fcnelhcr article of like import was copied from the Middlebury Register, and on the 14th, still another from the same source All this has elicited the fallowing notice from the editor of the Windsor Journal : Q"7What is the matter with the editor of the .vontptluT Itatchmanj Is he still dis satisfied with the Whig party? Docs li not content him, that not a Whig Senator, nor a Whig Representative in Congress, nor a Whig newspaper, nor a Whig citizen, in public of private life, from the Free States, favors the Repeal of the Missouri Compro mise, and that a roodlr portion of the Whips of tho South aro with us ? The editor of the Watchman appears restless but wo hope it is only appearance. He etemi amazingly tickled with the idea of forming a new party a great A'orlhtrn party arrayed agamat tbe South. A few more Whic vie- tones, and a little calm reflection, will, no trust, set him right, and chats out of his sight that habeas corpus ghost, that has been haunting him ever slnco the accession of President Fillmore. A party organization, such as tho Watchman suggests, could only result in untold mischief to tho country , and tho annihilation, politically, of its origina tors. Windsor journal. We do not propose to inquire why it is that the Journal passes by tho excellent ed Itor of tho Middlebury Register, and tho staonchest whigs of one of the ataunchicet . whig counties in tho Union, and selects tho Watchman for assault. Whether it is joal ousy, or over much lovo, whether it is fear or, partiality whether it is manliness or meanness, is of no sort of consequents to j any body but the editor of tho Journal and ouroclf. Wo do not mean to trouble our readers, therefore, with any speculations on this topic. In a word, we do not intend to permit any personal controversy to divert our readers from moro important matters, and we shall endeavor to improve tho opportunity afforded us to give a litllo more " food for re flection." Tne suggestion we havo beforo I'.iade were frank. Wo intend to be equally frank in replying to the imputations of the Journal albeit impertinent and insulting, as they are. I. We aro not dissatisfied with tho whig party. Misled, abused ani defeated as it has been, we love it still we confido in it still and never with higher hopes or strong er confidence than at this moment. Tho Nebraska fire is burning up the wood, hay an J stubble; it is doing the work of purifica tion; and we doubt not that tho whig party whether under its old and honored name, or j any other under which it may chooso to ral ly will come out purer and stronger from tho firey trial. Even tho editor of the Windsor Journal has " run well for a sea son," under the spur of tho Nebraska bill, and we hopo he may bo saved at last, some-ho-.v " so as by fire," it in no moro agroe oblo fashion. II. We are not content that every whig Sen ior, and Representative, and Press in tho free States is "opposed to the repeal of tho Mis souri Compromise." We do indeed rejoice most heartily, that tho whig party of tho North stands unanimous on this solid ground: but that is sot Kifuuoii ! The editor of tho Journal may take theso words as if lit tcred most emphatically. It is isot e .noi'oii! Look at tho fato of tho Nebraska bill in the United States Senate t passed I aye, with all tho strength that whig, frcctoil era and honest democrats could bring against It, passed by 37 to 14 -by moro than two to one! Look at the House; count every whig vote against it; and if no oilier than whig - Hirenglh is brought against that measure, you shall find that it will bo piffled by moro than two lo one in that body, also. If, then, tho Windsor Journal depends upon the whig par ty' alone to defend tho consecrated soil of Freedom against Slavery, we beg leave inoit respectfully to tuggoti that the Wind sor Journal had best endeavor at once to get on & burrtr uhir nartu. Now let lho riitor of that paper turn his thoughfs In that dircc- tion, and then frankly toll us how that Can bo done, without opening wide the doors of' tho whig temple and tendering lho hand 0rj fellowship to all who are desirous or acting with the whig party in this matter ? But it is not enough that tho whig party . is unanimous "against lhe repeal of the Mis souri Compromise." Combining the mean ness of cheating and the turpitude of truce breaking, the proposition or repeal is suffi ciently infamous to arouso tho indignation of every honorable man ; but repeal, infam ous as it is, is not the real and most import ant end designed. Kepcal is but a step to wards the end ; or, rather, tho mode of intro ducing the new Slavocrstic dispensation of -Douglas and the Administration. That end is to strip the Nation of the power to shape its own destiny whether It be lor freedom or slavery for right or wrong. That is the sum total of the new doctrine of Non-1 nter ferenco of Squatter Sovereignly of the right of Self-Govcrnment or whatever else it may be named; and wo submit that it unci enough for tho whig party, or any other party, to limit its hostility simply to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. It must resist the doctrine of non-interference. 'It must assert and maintain the power or the people of the nation, through tho nation al government, to dedicate to Freedom everv new State formed from their domain, and! every rood of territory acquired by v1 power. That is the precise issue tendered by the administration ; and if we cannot meet it iu its whole length and breadth, let us not meet it at all. If we cannot take that ground & defend it, then we are free to say that the Missouri Compromise ought to be repealed. That Compromise waa clearly wrong, if asjoatttr Sovereignty is right. If the " sotthwn" of Nebraska ought to have the right to take Slavery there, or to establish, it there, then it U perfectly plain that tho Con gress of 1830 ought not to have " prohibited Uvery forever," We have no desire to attempt an impossibility I so we shall not try to dodge this point The Administration has raised this issue. Let the whig party man rally iaeet the Administration and over- - throw it or snake way for some other party tttat iU de it It will be worse than folly to 4 , ,sJHsBipt to igaore a proposition which in , .vttjvee eke power of the Republic to perpetu ate KapBlwsaniisn. K would be a crime. " HI. We swg rseslsaw," dear Jewraal. We see awi iastiswd tesWnow. ThUU ether the tine far $fim well coasldered, wrM iWrestsd, Ust trigmtu' eotus. If potiti- clans havo any worth, or work, or wit In them now is tho time to show it. If they have non let them reitl let them get out of the way of more useful men. IV. Wo aro nol " tickled with the idea of forming a new party ;" neither aro we afraid or that idea. We only say that the Idea is an important one, and worth consider atlon. It is a fixed fact that a portion of tho whig party (at tho South) has taken ground with the Administration against freedom. Shall wo give them tho hand of fellowship asuhigst Shall wo support them as jud ges, cabinet ministers, Presidents with the certain knowledge that in thoso positions thev will act upon the very principles which the Windsor Journal Itself condemns in Picrco and Douglass ? Really, wo are not afraid to have tho Whigs consider this ques tion of duty. Nay, we aro not afraid to say that wo hate considered it, and arrived nt a conclusion. Wo shall support no whig who worships the, new idol of Slavocratic loco focoism. Wo shall trust no man who vio lates the pledge that dedicated Nebraska to Freedom. Tho condemnation that is ineted to Douglass and Pierce, must be meted as well to lladger and Stephens. Non-intervention has become the characteristic feature in tho platform of the Administration. It is at once the most important and tho most In famous feature of its policy. In our judg ment, tho Whigs, who subscribe to that faith, havo left the whig party. Tho Wind sor Journal even boasts that every Whig I Senator and representative, and press of tho free States, is arrayed against the Adminis tration on this question. Tho Jodrnal is so far right. Will it have them support tho Whigs who support tin Administration that the Journal opposes? Wc trust not, Again, then, wo say let such whig go! and wc do not entertain a doubt that such is the feeling of the great body of the whig party in tha freo States. Now what shall bo done next? Shall wo purgo out Nebraska whips, because they are not with us on this great question, and yet refuse to act with frco-soilcrs and democrats, who are with us ? If so, tho whig party will bo conveniently small ; tho opposition to tho Administration will be divided and paralyzed ; ond Slavery Propagaudism will flourish under the pro tecting caro of federal power and patronane. It strikes us that there is no necessity of disguising the fact that the Administration, in the Nebraska question, has presented a now political issue, which towers infinitely above all others. The Whig party is the natural opponent, tho most powerful oppo nent, of the Administration. Tho Whig par ty should be tho nucleus around which tho opponents of the Administration may gath er. It should invite, not repel, thoso ho are ready to net with it. It should take the new issue tendered ; adapt itself to its new position: join joyfully with those who will do good service for tha right and not bo frightened if tho position is in soitio senso " now," if so be It is good. We aro freo to say, that, personally, we do not much care whether the opposition to tho Administration is to be called a new party or an old one or by a now name nr nn old one. Wo aro chiefly concerned to havo it suc cessful. It is certain, however, that tho Whig party must bo tho leading element in resisting the Administration. It is equally certain that it must have tho co-operation of men who of late havo ocled under other organizations. Let all concerned forget tho differences that aro not essential; let them forego whatever is subordinate to tho end nliiat oil moai desiro. It is hardly necessary lor us to say that we do not desire to array tho North against the South we do not desire a "sectional party." Let us havo a party largo, patriotic, national which shall sternly claim what ever by tho Constitution it has the clear right to claim for Freedom. If then any ody chooses to threaten or resist, let them take the responsibility of resisting the Con stitutionof resisting tho rightful authority of the Union of being ond doing Wrong. Upon those alone will rest the odium of sec tionalism. Finally, wo are much obliged to tho Jour nal for alluding to tho lato so called " Whig victories," and with all our heart wo say Give us more of llio samo sort. " Whig ie tories," indeed but how ohtaintdl Tho simple truth is that in New Hampshire, Con nccticutand Rhode Island, the opponents of tho Nebraska outrage of all parlies havo ae Ud together. The Whigs of those Stales did not scorn democratic and fiecsoil aid; and wherever duty required, they did not "ciuplo to givu hlg aid to Democratic snd Free Soil candidates of the right stamp. The Journal seems to bo Mtl.ficd with such wlliB victories. Good! All right, dear J""""1! Let not tho examplo be in vain ,or 4 L.ei uio samo spirit prevail, and go on froui strength to strength, con quering and to conquer until tho Nation is redeemed from lho spoilers. Tho Green Mountain trccman, in the ex ercise or an intense desire lo concentrate Iho (rawer of the free States against tho exten sion of slavery, offers to tho whig party a condition on which tlieir aid will be accept ed, lo wit: "by repudiating their Bal timore Platform and adopting ours," i, e that or the Free Soil party. Possibly our very good friend of tho Windsor Journal will of fer to take in neighbor Thompson, and all who sympathize with him, if they will only repudiate I'jc Frcctoil and adopt tbe Balti more Platform. When theso gentlemen get together, it will perhaps do to suggest 4 Un ion of tho respective parties on tha same plan. In the mean time we confess to a suspicion that people, nhu wish to come to gether, wilt not be quite so rigid as to tho terms of pi rtnership , Grand Isle Counti.

Editor: In behalf of a large num ber of Montpelier passengers I desire to give expression to their gratitude for the prompt manner in which they were extricated from an unpleasant situation on Saturday night last, by Mr. John W. IIobart, our Mont pelier Conductor. As the Uostou train was coming North, just this side of Northficld Falls village, and about 0 or 7 miles from this place, the tender was thrown from the track, and so badly broken as to cause a probable delay of some hours. Mr. Hobart being on board, started on foot for Montpe lier, and with the use ol a handcar which he found on tbe way, reached the Junction, procured an engine and car, and had us all safely landed in Montpelier in less than an hour tad a half from tbe accident. This, to an isdtsWreBt person, may appear a small Butter but to those of us who were anxious to retell home on Saturday night, after a prvleaged absence, it waa a favor at leut worth tbe acknowledgment P.
