BY Y.. 1. WALTON, JR. MONTPF.LIER, APRIL 28, 1834. VERMONT POLITICS. The Crisis We have no doubt that the wliig psrty of Termont will, In the words of tlto Middk-bury Register, " nc TROtTont i-reseut cm iis." That word "'trials' was well chosen. " Crisis mdVil ItW, a turning-point-" 'Aye, this it a critical time, a turning point, for the countrv and Its politics. Let the people consider this as a crisis ; let the poli ticlam so consider it ; and let nobody lie alarmed if the crisis requires some new ar (rangemcnt, some slight departure from the beaten track, some accommodation to bring 'together, for efficient action, all those whose action the crisis1 requires. If nothing of this sort is required, most assuredly there is lio crisis. If concessions of no sort nre necessary, there is no crisis. But wo think there it a crisis ; one that calls into oxer cise ail the wisdom and all the patriotism of tho people. It is undoubtedly true, howeV' er. that even in this crisis, differences do and will exist among, the peoplo on import' ant political questions. We do not expect them all to agrco in every item of political faith; but can they not agree in all that is essential to meet successfully tho " present crisis p That is the question. Let the po liticians and tho peoplo consider that ques tion. Let them try to agree. If they can not agree, we trust tho whig party mill bo " truo to tho present crisis," and strong en ough to keep Vermont equally true. Hut we desire more than this : wo desire an un ion of tho opponents of the Administration and the extension of Slavery, a union on common ground, and united action for a common purpose. We wish to have the Whig party, if possible, the base of this un ion at any rate, in the right position on the main question. If Vermont only was con cerned, we should have no anxiety. Hut uch a union is clearly indispensable else , where: it is indisjcnsablo to securo tho unanimous verdict of the free States ; it is indispensable to create a power in the coun try which politicians will respect, and before which Slavery Propagandists shall quail in utter dismay; it is indispensable fur the present " crisis j" and we would have Ver mont set tho example. If alio does not if he fails, most assuredly there is no ground to hope for success elsewhere. The " cri sis," in that case, will not be met. If tho op ponents of slavery propagandisui do not make all their strength available by united action, Slavery will triumph tho "crisis" will bo como a ((.evolution, stripping tho Federal Government of all power to prevent tho ex tension or establishment of Slavery in terri tory now free, and of course permitting the extension, establishment and perpetuation of Slavery wherever slaveholders choose to take tho control. Let us look at this " crisis :" Tho field for the cxtonsion of slavery is broad, ex tending from Texas to tho Pacific, and cm bracing Nebraska and Kansas to the North ; Cuba Btands at tho door; and the entire tro pical region of South America, until we tench the line whern slavery is already ca tiblishcd, looms darkly up in the future. The Slave power is aiming to "cover this broad ground ; and it despairs not of nlti inatoly taking cither the entire control of the Federal Government, or of dissolving the Union and establishing " a great Southern Confederacy." Let us not forget that tho slavery propagandists are at this moment de manding four things which aro essential to this result: I Tho principle of Non-Inter vontion ; 2 the adoption of tho Southern route for the Pacific Railroad ; 3 tliti An noxation of Cubauand 4 the annexation of another slice of Mexico. Let us not blind our eyes to the unpatriotic, not to say trca. sonablc, designs of tho propagandists. The l!ichmond(Va.) Enquirer tho Virginia or pin of the Administration - boldly confes-cs iho design, so far as tho annexation of Cub: is concerned. Let us not doubt that tin same purpose lies at the bottom of all the u'.Iier slavocratic movements, i ho Enquir cr aajs: 'Our views ol tho policy of this measure, ('uba)as of ttuy oilier, fa determined by -i ' i j j iir i wjniramoum art' niwnfmiijf rcnjiurm ivri of Southern intertill. It is because we re trrd ''1U' acquisition of Cuba aa ttitnliul to ft'. stability of the system of Slavery, and to the juit ascendancy of the South, that we con sent to forego ur habitual rcpuguanco to political change, and to advocate a incasuro of such vast, and in eomo respects, uncer tain consequences. Tho only possible wsy in which the Scuth can indemnify itself tor its concession') to the Anti-Slavery fiinati. cusi, is by the acquisition of additional flare territory. Wo must reinforce the ;iotr trj of Slavery at an element oj political ron tro!, and this can only bo dene by the annex atiln of Cuba. I n no other direction is there a chance for the aggrandizement of Slavery. Tho intrigues of Great Dritainur fie a&od ion of slavery in that bland, are pursued with a zeal and an energy which cannot fail of success, unlets the United Statet interfere to prevent the consummation. The only ef fectual mode by which this may bo done, i by tltt transfer of the island to the dominion qj the States. If we contemplato the possi ble alternative of the disruption of the Onion, by the mad spirit of Abolition, the necessity fur the acquisition of Cuba as a Support to the South, becomes even mure tmtittfut uitd iw gtnt. With Cuba in possession of an hos tile interest, Southern slavery would be; ex posed to an assault which it could neither resist nor endure. Il'ith Cuba at a member of a great Southern Confederacy, Slavery migld bid defiance to itsentmiis." This leu in the light upon the final " cri sis." It means the ascendancy of Slavery or a dissolution of tint Vnion. The doctrine of. Non-Intervention by Congress is iheprrtenti of tho Green -Mountains, nnd the circum " crisis" the turning point, which is to con-. stances of the case are such as to call for trol the final event. Its purport it, that Slaveholders may extend their po er with. out let or hindrance from the nation j that they may colonize Slavery anywhere upon the public domain they may annex whatev er slave territory they can get within their gratpi and the North it given plainly to upderfctand that, finally, if the Slaveholding StUcs cannot thus obtain the political con trol of the Un'.on, it shall be dissolved. This appears to bo the substance of the whole mutter. Thii is the "crisis." We hope that not merely the whigs of Vermont, but the People, will be " true to this crisis." frois tbs ,U'v4aUick H.itu'j.

I UO uuiu aim ueciacu siauu ; i m by tho Vi Party on tuis question, obviates the necessity for any exterior or ganization to meet the issue which this mea sure liss presented. Opposition to this in iquity In every manner anil form tins becomo n cardinal principle in tho Whig creed, and to such an extent is the patty Indoctrinated with it, that even in tho Slave-holding Mates, not a few of the whig presses are as for ward m denouncing this movement, as are their brethcrn in tho free States In esch ef the Southern States of Ixnnsiana, Texas, Atkansas, Virginia, Alabama, Icnncssce and Kentucky, it is most earnestly, consist ently and ably opposed by many of tho most ablo and Influential of the whig presses in those States. This is encouraging, and should be hailed as an auspicious omen by the opponents of this administration measure in tho frco States. So far as the Whig par ty could take action on this subject in State, District or County Conventions, it has been done, in Conneciicuf. the Whigs in fctato Convention, denounced it in the Boldest and most equivocal manner. In Massachusetts, in Uhode Island, and .New Hampshire, they have dono tho same. In fine, wherever there his been a whig gathering, since this bill was first made known in the Senato by its author, theie has been witnessed firm and determined opposition to the measure. Wo mention theso things now, to show that the most effectual opposition to this darling mea sure of the administration, can best be ac complished, by a united and hearty co-operation by the true friends of freedom and frco labor, with the party known and recognized as tho wing party. There will ever be, must ever be, two distinct political parties in this country. If one of those parties throws it self into tho embrace of the slavery interest of tho country, as tho democratic party has now done, tho other mutt and will adopt the antagonistic principle, and take its position on the Bide of freedom, as tho whig party has, nt this crisis, most unhesitatingly and decidedly done. Now with all whose demo cratic predictions do not outweigh all other considerations, there can bo no hesitation as to where the path ofduly leads the way. We desire most earnestly, not to seo but two po litical parties in tho field the coming season. If wisdom and moderation will but prctail among tho opponcls of tho administration, wo shall not. Why should that opposition bo divided, wo respectfully ask, when in priii ciplo they aro ns one man ? Wo submit these suggestions for the con sideration of all such as are honestly desirous of checking thu farther increase of the lavo power in this country, and who nro desirous of making )IHcicnt opposition to this pro-slavery administration, and who, out of a mistaken zeauor a party name, or iroin pre judice, or from ony other unwothy cauie in tho present crisis of our political affairs, aro not disposed to reject the practicable, in an idle pursuit aficrtho unattainable. Tho liraiford Enquirer a in favor of free dom and equal rights, and heartily opposed to aristocracy and oppression ; it is also very much in favor of lh Union, and very much opposed to sectionalism ; it docs not like tho free soilors, and thinks " it is a pity that tho oncstpartof tho democratic party, cannot unito wiih the honest part of tho whig party, and thus restore tho patriotic administration of Jefferson." Well Jefferson went for "frco soil'' in tho ordioanco of '87, and on thinking of slavery, trembled nt tho thought that God is just I Now if the free soilers hould happen to go for another " patriotic administration of Jefferson," we should liko to know what the L'nquirer is going to do nbout it. Alter oil, however, wo obtcrvo , that tho Enquirer is not entirely disinclined to treat frco soilers decently. It concludes a I longarliclo thus: " i'ho abolitionists in this Stato havo re peatedly shown their wnnt of integrity, and aro at tins moment in alliance with the Ne braska party. A portion, (and our friend of the Telegraph among them.) bolt. Very good, it snows independence and Honesty. In 1810 we boiled tho Van llurcn ticket, and did notgu off in a faction, but threw our voto whero it did some execution. If tho Frco Soilers in this Slate cannot act with those who aro with their party, let them tako hold with those who aro with them in prin ciple. This idea that a man is bound for 1 i to to a particular set of party leaders is on ly lit lor slaves. Let us bo men and act liko freemen. Let us vote for or against whom we please, and act for tho good of tho whole country. Wo havo high confidenco in the whig party. Defeat at tho '52 elec tion has not weakened our attachment to it. Wo bclievo it in tho main right, and it has in its ranks some of tho best democrats that cyer trod upon God's footstool." Tho St. Albans Messenger says l " What is there, wo ask, to ilivido politi cally tho people of this country of more im portance than the subject of tin cry ? Form erly the question of a national Bank, a tariff to protect our manufacturers, tho sub-treasury, tho distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, among tho States, Internal improvements, and some other ques tions of a local and unimportant character, separated tho wh:g and democratic parties. Tho subject of ' national Dank is now ut rest. No party desires it. Tho want of it is supplied by numerous banks in all tho States of tho Union, most of which ore in good standing; and the wholo business of tlio country is now carried on tnrougn sucti modes, as not to require the agency of a na. tiuual bank to regulate tho currency and fa cilitate commerce. Our manufacturers are not pressing for a high t.riff. Thu exten sion of our commerce lo remoto parts of the world, mid tho great influx of gold into tho country from California havo materially aid ed our manufacturers, and quieted the pub lic mind on the sub-treasury scheme. In short tho situation of the country id such, both in respect to our domestic relations and our intercourse with foreign nations as to render obsolete, or Inuch less important, the subjects which formally divided the two great politicul parties." Mad Dog Frobably. On Thursday of laat week, a dog, suppos ed to bo mad, passed from Duxbury to Mr, Mitchell's farm on Dog llivcr, in Berlin, whero he was killed by Martin C. Davis. This dog wounded several cattle, sheep and dogs on the way. At Mr. Kcovill'a in Mer lin, he attacked a cow with great ferocity, but wi driven ofT hy Mrs. S., who had arm ed herself with a pair of tongs. At Mr. Mitchell' the dog attacked a young bull, but got a toss or two into tho air und retreated. Mr. Davis killed the dog with a pitchfork, Mr, Davis supposed tho dog was mad, though hydrophobia is a disease which has rarely occurred in this part of the stato. The dis- ease has prevailed of late on the west shlo the greatest watchfulness over the animals wounded. litmedy jor Hydrophobia.

Iki.Lows Fails, Vt., April 22, 1851. Ms. Editor, Dear Sin Tho dastardly attempt of tlio Vermont Patriot, and other administration papers, to cvado the charges contained in A. 0. Uurku's letter to tho Post Master General j and draw the attention of the public lo another subject, namely, a difficulty between Mr. llurke and a conductor on tho Rutland &, Horlington Hail Koad, which had nothing to do with his removal from tho Post Office, at this place, is no more false and deceptive than is to be expected from that source; and if tho two wings of tho democratic party in this State will exert themselves to expose the iniquities of each other, they will have a better claim upon the public than for any other service they will bo likely to render. But Mr. Uurke lias not, and wo presume will not descend to n personal squabble with such mercenary presses as the Patriot, Sent incl.jind others; yet if issuo had been tendered in a respcctablo manner, or hud j even I). A. Smalley dared to appear over Ins own signature, wc aro inclined to think that Mr. Uurke's withering disclosures would have given decidedly a blucish lingo to tho soft side so called of tho democrutic shell in this State. Tho hard side seems al ready to bo nearly black and blue. Al though wo havo no political sympathy with Mr. llurke, or tho employees of iho Admin istration. Yet wo projiose to stato a few facts in confirmation of the Patriot's already notorious truth-telling. Soon after Mr. llurko was appointed Post Master he pub lished several editorials in Ins paper, which were severely denounced by most, if not all of the oflico-bought press in the State ; And particularly Mr. Smalley's organ, tho llur lingtorj Sentinel, was unbounded In its exe crations. It was then evident tint the dem ocratic press were ready to combine to si lence Mr. llurko and punish tho refractory official by a icmoval from office. Hut they did not think it prudent to do this while he had charge of tho paper, although it was well known that he was but temporarily con nected with it. Thinking, however, to in timidato him, a responsible person, well known to tho writer, camo to Mr. llurko with this message! "Mr. Smalley says ' yuu must take a different course in your paper or you will lose tho Post Office.'" Mr. lJutko made this reply :" tell Mr. rimalley he must not think to buy me with so paltry u prico as the Ilellows Falls Post Office." Still this ungrateful official continued an ex ception to Mr. Smalley's boast that "the democratic1 press in this Stato is finally muz zled." Subsequently, according to previous arrangements Mr. llurko left tho editorial chair; which, of course, was the signal to let fall the suspended blow and hccuru, his removal from tho Post Office, and ifpussiblo " muzzlo"lhe present editor. About the Baine time the Hail Hoad affair came off. Hut since tho removal, M '. Smalley has told the present Kditor of thu Argus (nho is not man enough to say it in his paper,) and other persons in this place, that " the removal of Mr. Uurke was determined upon long before tho Hail Road difficulty,"--anil that "the Hail Hoad affair had nothing to do with the removal." In fact tho people hero had nut heard that Uurku's removal was occasioned by the It. It. difficulty, until it was announced by the Patriot. It is well known hy thnsa who have been personal spectators to the wholo transaction, and best " cognizant of the af fair ;" that tho Patriot's story is a mere abu sive dodge, and most of its facts aro of home manufacture. '1 his is as it should be, fur its friends would havo been shockingly disappointed, no dojibt ; had they caught Mr. Kastman devoting the columns of his piper to truth and candor. Tho facts aro theso : After thu change of mail agents under thu present Administra tion, there was great complaint about the delivery of mail matter on thu line of tho Rutland & Burlington Hail Hold, especially nt thu place. Packages lint were duo here did not cmno into thu office, and even some of the public prints come out up jn the Hollows Fulls Post Master, for not promptly forwarding mail matter, when in rcal.ty, the fault was somewhere else. AIo, the De partment farwnrded instructions lo Air. llurko, and other Post Masters at favorable points, to look lip and report tlio sources of tho Irregularities. Accordingly Mr. Hurko j went aboard the Post Office car to consult I with tho Mall Agents in regard to tho mat ter, and noticed various improprieties, au"h as passengers riding in tho Mallear, tho hands on the train opening and reading packages, smoking and the like. When ho imforined them of his instructions to report infringements of the Post Office regulations, they were highly offended Ihat any man should presume to look after and report their misdemeanor. Previous, however, to reporting, Mr. llurko visited tho Post OfCicc car to communicate Anther upon tho matter with the agent. While in conversation with him, the conductor entered, and very insolently demindod fare. Burke refused, telling him he did not recognise him as con- Opposition to the Nebraska bill appe.r. ductoroflho Post Office car; that it was the i to be gaining ground in Washington, not agent's business to take charge of that car, withstanding the desperate attempt of Doug- and that conductors and all persons not 1 1,8 10 ,ho '"eT' "'"son. lio ,c r.i r, . . representative of tho Norfolk district, Va sworn officers or the Department aro exclud- w,'10 voleil ;. lhe rererel)Ce to the Coin ed from the Post Office car" by the Post Of- untloo of iho Whole, but subsequently mida fice law.

In no sense did Mr. B. prjtend to bo an agent of the Department, except the one mentioned. Never has he claimed to bo " a special agent." Never has he claimed to rido free in the passenger car, Neyer to rido in tho Post Office car, unless fur the purposes above mentioned. At the tuuo lie was ejected he had not been in the passenger car at all. Neyer hat he pasteJ from lhe passenger car to tho mail car and refused to pay fire. Now there is a beauty of consis. tency in so uncermoniously decapitating Burke for such a cause as this, and retaining such officials as these same Mail agents, who, headed by D. A, Smalley, proposed to Mr. llurke, last fall, to stop Uie whig totes passing through his oflico until afle; elec tion, saying they were going to do so on the cars. We stop here for tho present. We do not propose to reply lo every scandalous saying of tho press. But we hold ourselves responsible for the truth of what we have said, and stand ready to prove it upon the best of democratic testimony j so the Patri ot's usual method of flttly denying trouble- s.imo charges or branding them as whig lies, will not avail in this instance.

The Czar's New Pronosal Deceptive Polloy of Russia. From the London Times, April 7. We are told that the last messarre reeeiv. ed at Berlin from the Emperor of Russia, ond conveyed o that Court by Prince George of Mecklenburg, is to the efTect that the Umperor will evacuate the Principalities whenever the ll'estern Potters hare obtained Urom ine mthe Turks, by treaty, the emancipation the Christian nouulation. Tha tVutrm or Powers have sought os little as possible to bind the Porte by treaty lo any such condi. tions, and it Is not necessary for their object that the concessions made to tho Christians should bo iho result of any compact with a foreign Government ; but as a matter of fact. tho rorto has already conceded infiiiiielv more to its Christian subjects, of the friend y ,n,rn.alil.linn l.n .lll-l ,1 ,vr,w.,,ii, u. ins nuieu t owers, than it could ever have erauted to th of Russia; snd, if the Emperor iS'ichulas ' "iloseu io mane tne emancipation of Ihq Christians the test of peace or war, he may at once withdraw from tlio Principalities ho has invaded, ainco we have gained more for the Christians of the East by defending the rights of Turkuy than he claimed by ntturk ing them. Wc cannot, however, regard the proposals last forwarded to Berlin by lhe Prince of Mecklenburg, as a serious orhon est overture; and we lear ihey are intended to Berve a very diiL-reut purpose.
