lCjSIt will be observed that The office holders
are nightly afiaid of JOSHUA THWING,
and hence find it necessary 10 assail him with
their old pons-Slandrr and falsehood.-
The people Of Barre will not thank the au-
thor OF such an assault upon one Of The most
respectable men of their town; knowing, as
they undoubtedly do, that the reputcd assa.
ant himself progressed 10 be for Joshua 7Eping
only one year ago! They understand, too,
we guess, the true reason for the assault now.
Was there not difficulty in some Cuisines
transactions 2" Have not the farmers and me-
chanics Of Barre, in the exercise of their own
rights, chosen to buy goods of whom they
pleased
We think, too, that the people Of the Coun

ed the return of Worthington in the place Of
Turner as Van Buren, gain. This is not the
fact. On the authority Of the National Intel
hgonoer, paper printed in the vicinity OF the
distinct, we stated tina: the result was the same
as atthe last Congressional election, save that
the Wigs had gained in rotes. This is con.
frmed by the New Yorker, which declares
that Turner was elected as Jackson man,
iirrcguIarly nominatcd,) and that the Wigs
ntrer came so near carrying the district as al
this election. We have one other witness as
10 the politics OF Mr. Turner, which we COM
mend 10 the candid consideration of the Yer
mont Patriot, always provided the Pa,rio.
can't impeach him. The witness is the Yer
mont Patriot, which, on The election Of Mr.. r.
dIscourscd thus:
"Mr Turner is elected by about 100 mpiori.
ty; and though he was not the regular demo.
cratic candidate, he ayowed himself q Jack son
man and pledged himself 10 vote in accordance
with the electoral vote of his district, if the
Presidential election should 90 into Congress.
The democrats have 1000 majori'y in the dis
tntt"
SO we gee, in accordance with tho Patriot,
that Mr. Turner was a Jackson. democrat:
how then have the V B men gained? 1t also
seems that the district then contained 1000 de-
mseratic majority it has now gwen but $50
shown about 500 gain 10 the Wigs. Is the
