PARTY VIOLENCE.
WINDSOR, (Vermont,) July 20.
It is gratifying to see, that party violence is cooling down. It certainly is so, and men who have nothing at stake, but their farms and fire-sides, are beginning to think.
Many of our leading politicians begin to doubt--
Whether war be not a serious evil-
Whether it might not, even yet, be avoided.
Whether the same administration, which commences, will not feel themselves pledged to continue the war ;--and in short--
Whether it might not be prudent to try a change of men at our next election-
Such, we say, are the queries, which now arise in the minds of some of our leading men, who have all along been great sticklers for the present administration.
