TO TIE FREEMAN OF GRAND
ISLE COUNTY.

ISLE IOUNIY
= FELLOW CITIZENS you are soon TO be
called upon to elect person to represent
you in the State Senate for the ensuing po.
li,coI year. In these dangerous and diff.
cul, times every Office should be occupied
by man Of ability, wisdom and integrity.
Qua,hs and Tinhers have cursed our coun.
try long enough. They have, after seven
years war upon our currency. at length
eucc, eded in reducing our circulating me-
dunn from sound and healthy state, to the
most miserable slim plaster system. This
state Of things has been brought about by
the abominabie corrupt and willy spccula
now have the boldncss and oifrontery to
charge 1t all to their opponents. 1t be-
comes your du'y, fellow citizens, to correct
these evils while you may. There are but
two candidates for the office in question. -
The Wings have recommended to you the
Hon. Joel Alien, as a man cmncnlly qna-
fled for that station. On the other hand
DR. Barnes through the agency Of the Gus
tom House department has again procured
his own nomination to The office, the duties
Of which. he so cIumsily and ignorantly al
tempted to perform last year. to the great
modification aud chagrin Of his const,u-
en,s. lie styles himself the ivan Buren
cadIda;e." | need not inform you that
Judge Allen is allowed to be Dr.. Barnes
superior il every nece@ory qualification for
Legislator. Indeed DR.. Barnes cannot
family be considered Judge Aliens superior
in any particular saving lrind and quachery
and you have had enough of them, being
no necessary qualifications for such sta
ion. Blu, let Us try DR. Barnes by his Off
clio acts while q Senator last year. The

ntor without any credentials! How every
rrccmon in the county tlnshed and hung his
head when he read The mortlFyng fact, in
the Journals Of he day, that their Senator
had (Grgouen his credentials. The only
Ounce IN THAT Honorable body. On page

the Doctor hanging himself Tor forgetting

On page Sc Of the same Journal you wi
fnd that Dr. Barnes voted to repeal tn
law which made it penal for man to tax
