ISAAC FLETCHER. He is mason and for many
years belonged to the National Republican party;

for proof, that no is no democrat, aver, that in
the years 1928, ., he opposed with all his might
the election of his townsman that stanch democrat,
Wrm. Cahoon to represent this District in Congress;
he also opposed the election of Benz. F. Demning,
another stanch democrat, represent this District;
he also set mum on the floor of Congress, this last
winter, when the democratic resolutions, passed by
the Legislature ofVermont to abolish slavery and
the Slave trate in the District If Columbia were in

Mr. Fletcher for his na,ten;ion to business, if his
health would not permit him to be in the House but
a small portion ofthe time; but would censure the

Democratic Wing party.-He must go up Salt Riv
err, and on his return, we invite him to enter at
Wing Port, where he will find good lodging.
ANDREW McMnLAN--I have but little knowl-
edge of this man, some suppose he is a foreigner,
because he has an Irish name others say he is from
the pine woods in Me- and is talked ofor Senator,
Can he legislate for the native born citizens Diver
mont9 Does he know their wants better than they
they do? guess we had better tell him to wait
while, and we will make our own laws, and il he
can live under them, till he becomes acquainted
with our customs, our wants, and circumstances,
and need his assistance, will call
him. AS he is stranger, and wish to treat
strangers civilly need not go up Salt River. All
ask of him, is stand back, and keep his place,
and learn something before he intermediates with
legislation for the natural born citizens of Vermont

than he is. If mistake not, he is the young man,
who, in the V. b County Convention in,l S36,oppos-
