Wardsboro, Aug. 90, 1856.
Mr.. Editor: have seen two communica-
tons in your paper and one in the Journal
printed at Bellows Falls, upon the subject of
the Senatorial nomination for the north part of
the county, all of which were intended TO boil
ster up the fading prospects of the Cashier Of
the Bank Of Bellows Falls for the office of Sem
ator. II has been fully ascertained that one of
those communications was written at the Bel
lows Falls Bank, and the Others doubtless orig
mated from the snne source. In all these COM
muneatons precisely the same language is used
In more instances than one. The writer at
tcmpts TO convince the people that the popu-
larity of William Henry, the pet of the Bank,
is unbounded, aud that the opposition to his
nomination is confined to few indiyduns.---
Now my object in asking ior n small space in
your columns is 10 undcccvc the public, aud 10
let the people know that the opposition TO his
nomination is very general among the moral
and respectable class of people in the north
part of the county. They know him person.

they should not support him. They are very
DESTROYS he should surrender his claims, if he
has any, for the Office of Senator, TO some in

is a dead treigM upon it, and hope you will

Messrs. Editors: correspondent in your
last paper declares himself 'tinctured with en-
thusiasm" in the support of Mr. Robinson for
Congress. Ii is not my intention 10 enter into
a controversy with your correspondent in re-
gard to the talents Of Mr. r. rs | have neither
resided near him nor had access TO the Judges
of the Supreme Court. On enquiry | am in
formed he has been member of the State Lee
gislature two years, and though have no re-
collection of hearing from him while there, as
"one Of the first men in the State" or in any
other character, yet am not disposed to dis
parage his talents which for any thing | know
may be very respectable. recollect that when
he was candidate two years ago against Mr.
Hall we heard large stories Of his great popu-
larity in his own county, and we were led 10
suppose that where the qualifications of both
the candidates were intimately known, he was
to carry all before him-but when the votes
came in they told another story; and if my in
formation is at all TO be relied upon they will
do the same again. or the qualifications Of
Mr. Hall which your correspondent undertakes
TO depreciate, little need be said; his talents
are too well known not only by those who have
presided near him." but by those abroad to
need newspaper eulogium in their favor, or
to suffer in the public estimation from news
paper attack; they are Of an order which will
qualify him to fill the station he occupies with
high credit to himself and with honor to the
people he represents. Your correspondent also
supports Mr. X. on the principle of''rotation in
Office" II | am not mistaken there is now a
very comfortable office under the General Co
vernment which has been held by one individ-
ual in this county much longer than Mr. Hall
has been in Congress-, and | have not heard of
its being soon to be vacated, except indeed ID
has been whispered that should circunl stances
permit the rotGtive principle may be so far APP
piled to the incumbent as to roll him out of his
present Office INTO one more permanent and de-
sirGbie! This doubt not will be in strict
conformity with the established usages of the
party; but believe among friends it would
hardly be considered orthodox to carru The
principle much further The experience of
Mr. Hall is certainly no objection to him. His
valuable services there, and especially the fear |
less, able and important part which he took in !
bringing about distribution of the surplus re-
venue, a service of more immediate benefit to /
the state and district than any which has per-
haps been adopted since the commencement Of
the government and one which has met with
the warm appreciation Of his constituents, and
which ] cannot doubt they viii manifest by
