The nomination Of JOSHUA TWIN
OF this town, by the Wings, ~ n candidate
senator, IS much IN character with the party
and has been ably commented upo1 by "DA'

last Patriot. That communication inform
us Of many things, in relation to this snr
JOSHUA TWING of which the world Ii

II was near the evening Of the day aforel
mentioned. He had been observed through \
out the day, as being unusually morosr, and
his whole appearance butokeacd that Of a ma l
who is experiencing tho most acute mental
di'qulciudo. So remarkable was this appear
ance, that several persons Of properly wrrd
afraid he would cause them 20 be melted in ID
furnace, for old iron, and left the town, "bc-
tween two days" They have never returned,
and the prosperity Of the town has, in cen-c.
quence, sustained shock, from which, in the
course Of human events, it cannot recover.
Let an insnltcd and indignant community,
cause this aflai. 10 be investigated.
One thing moro. "BARRE" seemed dis
posed to pas. By the "arstocracy' of This
MR. JOSHUA TWING," as an afriir of mi
nor consequence. Who, that has met the
man, has not been astonisied by the reflection
OF ARISTOCRACT in every linenment Of
his countcnance, and in Lis whole per onal ap-
poaralc". His silk slockings-his nlflc shat
the smoothrcss ard texture OF his bread
cloth coat-thc gloss, the pcriulncry and every
thing else which characterize the dandy and
the arislocrai. Mark his naughty, arrogant
manner'-his suparcilious prido-th1 cold
stare with which he salutcs his equals and tho
way in which he seems to spurn the earth up
on which he tTcads! "This is" indeed "JosH-
VA TwING, and this Whig aristocracyr!!!!!!M
And now, Messrs editors, permit me 10 mako
4 few candid remarks. Is it not absolutely as
tonish.ng that the editor Of the Vermont PATTI
ot-a person who, as a man, makes some pre-
tensonsto dscMcy-should permit so contcmp-
tlblc and puerilc piece Of scurrity, as that
over the signature Of Barre in the last Patfi-
OF, 10 poiutc The columns Of hiS paper. II it
related single circumstance entitled 10 Gre
Conce- il il was not, as it evidently il, the off
spring Of private malignity-it might, under
certain circumstances, be entitled 20 a passing
notice. 1t is fully condemned by its own i'm.
hccility.
Few men, in this county, are mora respect
cd, wherever known, than JOSHUA TwEG.--
