Thc city. Washington is laid out on

ccnsus.was 10,827. Its avcnuos and prin

Thc busiuess ofthe city, with thc cxccp

With somo cxceptions.it is composod of as

Mr Wentworth altcmpted to spcak, is cor
rcct, with thc oxccption, that the scene
was n grcat dcal more disgraceful than thc

disgrnce to thc nation, and it is our can
did opinion,that could thc tnass ofthe pco-

bc razed to thc ground, nnd its occupanls

Mr. Dillinghain is highly estccmed in-

upright aud honest mati. Tho dcrnocra
cy of Vermont have reason to fcel proiid
of liim. Ile nohly sustains thc intercsts
of thc dcmocratic narty, and tho Iionor of

stands a-head-r.nd-shouldcrs abovo all the
ollicr whigs Irom Vermont, both as a man
and as a politiciau, and wcre it not for
the fact that hc is onc.of thc most un
ninchinj' whig? in Congrcss, Vermont
would have occasion to fccl a prido that
would bc honorablo lo hcr, in having liim
