Ilicse mcn could be prospored, such is the
marvelous disinterstedness of tlie farmer-,
ihnl they would willingly submit to pcnury
and nant, bankruptcy and ruin, soe their
children growing up in indigence and rags,
and thcmc!vcs become beggars. Farmers of
Vermont, how do you like te be treatcd as
ifyou po:sessed but a mcre twilight of un
dcrslanding, by mcn who are tliemselves
ciiher ignnrant dolts or artful and unscru-
pnlous deccivcrs? Waving all controversy, '
thcic ncver was an intelligent people so in- j
sullcd as we aro by ilie mountebanks and j
liumbupgcrs of locofocoism. i
