Full Text

Senator Wright, the man who drinks more brandy than a dozen moderately temperate men should, was in N. H. a few days since, when he and Gov. Hill held 'sweet converse' upon the darkness of their political prospects, from whence it is said he was to strike the lower part of Vermont to teach the Green Mountain Boys how to vote. He will find, we reckon, that they can vote without his direction as well as they taught his tory fathers at Bennington how to run. He is an own brother to the famous Mrs. Frances Wright Darusmont, and father of the Sub-Treasury Bill.
