Captain_Brag - is,an Anti-Nebraska Democrat. I have had fre quent conversations with him upOn. that sitb jeo, and have had ample opportunity to as certain his real sentiments.

' I kne*The`was opposed to the Ne braska bill fixan the fact that IMw a Itier 'of his , in which he stated thatif lie had drain up that bill be would not have repealed, the Missouri Compromise.- I' Voted with the Democratic pafty last fall, knowing it to be the only Anti-Slavery party: In the country.

NOW I am in the party, you see, where I can carry out my Free-Soil principles. I don't sap pose there was a Democrat in , 1 this ' county w last fall who as not opposed to, the Nebras ka bill. ' Indeed, I am coufident, there was none, jaging,from certain information I re ceived from my reliable friend Captain Brag.

They have abandoned the ICnow-Nothing Lodges and Are fighting With me under the , banner r of freedom. On' ;the other hard, I have made a dead strike .at Wilmot,. He is the leader of the Anti- Nebraska faction in this county ; wit*nt him they tin do nothing. My effort ihas been to destroy their confidence in hini.— Destroy b no, and the Free•Soflers are as sheep witiput a shepherd, and , will soon re turn to the Democratic party. My efforia to destroy Wilinot's influence have been re. markably kucerful. No one ,''speaks ottani now wit out p sneer. The people, alwleys &flowing some leader, now look up to in for direction.

It was , not intended.to.restram immigration, nor tO', draw downAis Republic-from the lofty 'lace sition which it maintains as the asylum for all throppressed of Euroipe.

The bon ' orable Senator rejoiced at the recent defeat _ iu the Virginia election as a lesson' to the., American party with whom to unite—not to, toady to the Slave Oligarchy but to be truly democratic in principle. _He denied the state ments made by an obscure K.

He re pudiated with contempt the ideas that mon sters•such as Atchison, Stringfellow, and their" gangs should be regarded as brethren. In Conclusion 'he earnestly adjured the„people of Vermont to remain true to: themselves and to their convictions--terappe,ar united in the National Councils of the State and in - Wash-, ington as a strong phalenx in the defenee of human rights and liberty I The America& party deserved an ignominious end if it - failed in performing these most important duties of its mission. - I An ApprePriate Visit.'
