The libellous mutter whs as follows : To the enemies of political persecution in the Western District of Vermont: Your representative .(Matthew Lyon) is holden by the oppressed hand of usurped power in a loathsome prison, deprived almost of the right of reason, and ; suffering all the indignities which can be heaped upon him by a hard hearted savage, who has. to the disgrace of Federalism, been elevated to a station where he can satiate bis barbarity 'on the misery of bis victims.

Of the subsequent career of Mr. ETaswell, we will add a few words. He continued, until his death. May 22d, 1816, in his 60th year, to edit the Gazette, a Democratic journal, one of the oldest newspaper establishments in the Union, which has been almost ever since conducted by his descendants, who have been among the most respectable citizens of Vermont. Anthony Ilaswell was. universally esteemed for hie exemplary life, being prominent in every movement for the moral and religious development of the society in which h? lived. lie was Post Master General of the New Hampshire grants, and held other honorable positions. But not- ithstanding his great mora! worth, hi.- devo- tion to hberty, having served in the continen tal army, and periled his life at the battle, of Monmouth, his intimate connection with Col. Ethan Allen, the bravest of the brave, who for some time was a memlxrr of his family, and with others of the most true and tried patriots of Ampric, he was for the free UHe Of speech and for the publication by the press above named for the exerciie of the rights for whch he had fought the raiuions of British tyranny, arrested, imprisoned and injured by the. very government that he had helped to ( establish,, through its unworthy executive j John Adams and his satraps. The - .sequel shows that, jthe people will eventually recognize justice and do right. j i the eyes of the Abolition dynasty it cr;n,e to De a Democrat, it is "treason" is a to be iti tavor of the Constitution and the Union as framed by Washington, Jefferson, and our revolutionary 6ires. Abusing the trust at an unfortunate hour placed in their hands they are bringing all the engines of power to bear to destroy the Democratic party to .discomfit conservatism to overthrow the constitutional rights of the people! Fellow citizens: the reign of the Caligulas, Neroe and Tarquina of other days were cruel and oppressiva and alike grievous to the people but their terras soon run their course. The more inexorable the ruler, the more execrable his memory.' Whose administration in American History so odious aa that-of John. Adams? Whose so in famous-? ?

', We have the strongest evidence to the fact that the South would have accepted the Crit- tindkx pr6position, and Mr. BrOcsb's' assertion, that not a man was ready to take it is a eh eer falseh ood. Every botly k nows better. Senator Peon, on the 1st of March, 1851, made the following declaration in the U. S. Seriate, which no one disputed: ; .- "The Crittenden proposition has been in- dorst-d by the almost uuanimous vote, of the Legislature of Kentucky. It has been in iorsed by the Legislature of Kentucky. It t has been indorsed by the Legislature of the noble old commonwealth of Virzinia It has been petitioned for bv a larger nuinher Of elec tors of the United fe tales than any proposition that was ever before Congress.. 1 believe in my heart to-day that it would carry an overwhelming majority of the people of my State, aye, sir, and of nearly every State in the Union. Before the Senators from the State of Mississippi left this chamber, I heard one of them who assumes at least to be Presi-dert of the - Southern Confederacy propose to accept it and maintain the Union if that proposition eoulti receive the vote it ought to receive from the other sitle of. this chamber. Therefore, all of your propositions, of all your amendments, knowing as I do, and knowing that the historianwill write it down, at any time before the first of January, a two-thirds vote for the Crittenden, resolutions in this chamber would have saved every State in the Union but South Carolina. - Georgia; would be here by her representatives, and Louisiana those two great States, which at least would have broken the whole col nnn of secession." Globe, p. 1480. On the 3d day of January, 1861, when but one State had seceded. Senator Docglas on thefloor of the Senate, asserted that the South, would accept it as a settlement of the difficulties. He spoke as- follows s " The Senator ( Mr. Pngh ) has said that if the Crittenden . proposition could .have beeu passed early in the session ; ,it would have saved all the States except South Carolna. 1 firmly believe It would. While the Critten- de proposition was not in accordance with my cherished views, I avowed my readfnees and eagerness to accept it in order to. save the Union if we could unite upon it. I enn eon-firm the Senator's Declaration, that "Senator Davis himself when on the Committee of Thirteen, was ready, at all times, to Compromise on the Crittenden proposition. "I will : go further, nd say that Mr. Toombs was also. Globe, p. 1381. ' - Mr. -B rough must therefore plead ignorance or admit his attempt to deceive. He express es his gratification at the refusal ojT Congress to. pans; the Crittkxde.v Compromise." He preferred to that the civil war in which we have been engaged for over two years, and the end of which no one can see. He would have lamented over that honorable measure of conciliation, while he has little regrets to express at the loss of the best and bravest blood of the country, the sufferings of the people, the enor. moas national debt we have incurred, and the wide-spread destruction of property. lie who admits that, confesses bis willingness. to sacrifice his ountry and jeopardize the Union rather than surrender up his political prejudices.John Brough Opposed to the Old Union and Constitution. In a speech made a? Cleveland last Saturday night, and published in the O. 8. Journal, June SO, John Broogh Avowed his radical abolitionism, and made the following declaration against restoring the old Union and Constitution as it is : - : '- " For many years, yon are aware, 1 have held ideas ofa conservative character, on this slavery question.' I have changed my. views. I now see the impossibility of permanent suc cess is oar republic s long as any -portion of . m '.-: .a . . - it is amicteo wiin tne jepious -diseaee. Either slavery must be torn out, root .and branch, or our wnemment unli exist no longer. ' ' ' -. Here is an emphatic declaration that must alarm every man who' has hopes of ..ending this terrible war. That. hope is now blasted, and the people can now see the rnin Abolitionism is bringing upon thera. yery man who votes . for Brough votea to , abolish the Union and.Cpnatitntioa oar fathers made, and he votes ta prolong this war make enemies of all the Border States and people through all time.

Oiir 'correspondent, writing on the 20th, says nothing whatever belonging to Milroy's command was aved, and -the mistake originated from the" fact that 'the trains from Jones brigade, at Martinsburg, and.Mc-. Reynolds brigale from Berry ville, escaped to llarrisburg. Thus the defeat of Milroy was most thorough and disastrous, and so much wo he scarel that he appears never to have stoppetl till he got to Baltimore.' ;.; ; ' . , "Now, his troops fought admirably and they were well handiecf 6y the subordinate offir cers. What, then, is the cause of a disaster as needless and as humiliating as that of Harper's Ferry last year ? Notbing'hut the want of cool courage and capacity in the commantl-ing general. Unfortuiiately, Milroy is one of the political generals, appoinlol not for his miliiary abilities, but for his violent abolftroii Opinions. Suh men, being fanatical, have not the braina to lead anniea. ' "In the second battlef -Bull Ran"; 1n which Pope commanded, : Milroy' frantic conduct battle.' 1 He says himself, 'in ms evwence be fore a coniVol inqhiry tl told him (McDowell) that I was n6 fighting '"with' Geri. 8igels corps; that my ftrigade had got out of (immut nition some tiinelw-fore and gone to the rear, and that ! had been fighting with half a dozen different brigades, and that I .hI not inquired whiise or to what particular corps they belonged. t"T '' rt is evident he has had no idea of order or subordination in his command, and ia totally unfit to lead troops. The evidence, of Cnpt. Cutting arid Lieut. Roebling shows he extra-" ordinary state of mind In which he appeared at that battle. ; Brigadier General Bncanan bears similar testimony, lie says : 'His manner was very excited, and every one inquired ho that was rushing about so wild ly I left him harrangueing and gesticulating most em-J phatically; but afterwards found him giving orders to a por'ion of my brigade. Hfs own brigade was not near there, and : he seemed to be rashing about the field without any special aim or ol jcW unless it was to assist in the performance.of other officers duties.- "Lastly, General McDowell says of him : JVhen he spoke to me he. was in a frenzy not accountable scarcely for what he said, and attracted the attention of every one by hia 'Unseemly cond)Kt.' , His own report, indeed, written some time after, when his mind might be supposed to be In its normal state, shows how extravagant anil unmeasured he w in his language and how illogical his mind.": " How the People are Bobbed 1 The following Is from the Columbus Fact. a paper that supports John Brough: Captaih Htntr, Assistant QcAarnxASTxa.

' -?' j. ; Itf the Congressional Globe' of thethird; nea-slon of the. thirty-fourth Coegrees, ' page '25; will be found a speech delivered. In tha -United Statea Sedate by the Hon. Benjamin F. Wade of Ohio, the great leader Of the Republican party in this State- He said : .": ' ' ' "But Southern gentlemen stand. hereK and, in almost all their speeches, apeak; of the. dis-olution of the Union as an element; of every argument,'as though it "were of peculiar condescension on their part that they" permitted the Union to s land at all. .if they do not feel interested in upholding tins Union if it really trenches on their rights if it t endangers their bistitatious to such an extent that . they cannot feel secure under it if their interest are violently, assailed by means of this Union I am not one ot those who expects .hey will long continue under it. I am not oneof those who would ask them to continue in such a Union.-- i t would be doing -violence ' to the platform of the party to which I belong. We have adopted the old Declaration ofinaepend-ence as the basis of our political, movement, which declares that acy people, "when their Government ceases to" protect their s rights, when it is 00 subverted from the true purposes ofgovernment as to oppress, them, have be right to recur to fundamental principles, and, if need le to destroy the Government under which they live and to erect on its ruins another more conducive to their welfare. 1 bold thattliey have this fight. . I will not blame any people for exercising it, whenever they think the contingency has come. I certainly , shall be the advocate of that same doctrine whenever I -find that the principles of this Government have become so oppressive to the section to which,! belong, that a free people ought no longer to endure it'. You will not then find me backward in being the advocate of disunion; but that contingency never hav ing come. I have never yet opeited my mouth in opposition to the Union. I have never entertained a thought disloyal to this Union. But I eay, for Heaven's sake, act, not talk. I am tired of this eternal din of 'dissolution of Uie Union' which is brought up 011 all occasions, and th runt into our faces, as though we of the North had some peculiar rettfona for maintaining the Union that "the tJomhern people have not. 1 hope the Union will- cont'd ue forever. - I lelieve it may continue for-ever; I see nothing at present which 1 think shcmld devolve it; but if the gentlemen see it, I say again that they have the same interest in maintaining this Union; in my judgment, that we of the North have. If -they think they have not le. it so. You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union, Tor the attempt to do so, it seems to roe, would subvert the first principle of the Government under which we live' . - ( . . - -. . . .- If Wade is not the Prince of Copperheads, who ia ?

General Milkot's cowardice . and little rebel spunk cost the Government, in loss of artillery, small arms, stores, &c at Winchester, over two million of dollars. So says a Washington correspondent: There waa no merit in' Milroy as a military commander; his recommendations to the Administration being simply his devotion to the cause of its negro policy. The negroes - that he forced from their homes and shipped to Pennsylvania,, while-be bad command at Winchester, cost the Government not less than two thousand dollars apiece." - Many of these ; have been caught and returned to Virginia by Lks's army. EJ. ' u ' . Major "Winthrop Shot by a Negro. - The Boston Transcript Abolition) has a letter from a captain in the army, stating that Major Winthrop, killed at Great Bethel, was shot by a negro. The writer says: "I have it from a member of the Wv the 1 tines, of Hamp ton, Va. who was. present at. the fiaht. and saw Wjnthrop fall, that he was shot by a negro," ; We should not be surprised, remarks the A$e. to bear of similar Outrages in the future..
