Notwithstanding we had entertained some favorable
impressions towards the juvenile editor Of the v.f.
renncs Nermon,,r heretofore, has strange and unae-
eouutable conduct lasly has greatly shaken those im
Pfesssions, IN 50 mech that We constrained 10 ad
monish him Ills late Tudeness toward. several die.
ungusl'ed individuals Of the same great political FAM.
ly VI which he processes 10 be a conspicuous member
ASIDE from any personal considerations certainly very
ImPoli'c aud out Of place Then again, such rude and
uocivil personal assaults coming from such source
and directed ~ such manner, all the citcum
stances, IN our humble opinion, merits rebuke
The editor Of the Netmonier is young man Just
embarked in his profession and business aud doubtless
very much dependent the patronage nd good Offices
OF the surrounding public, as is usual in such cases,
and we should think it becoming in him TO be very
modest in his editorial reflections upon Inen and meas
ures, instead Of assuming n bodnefs (some would call
1t impudence) which ght better become a veteran in
the department.
If he expects TO build up an mpershahlc fame as an
editor by rude and personal uncaled COR attacks upon
his political sssocintes and friends he may not dscoy.
his until il, too late to rerace his steps We
therefore take thus enry opportunity admonsh him,
he may be assured, with the kindest feelings
We cOpld discover good reason for arraigainp
Judge Royce IN the manner he did because the Judge
declined The sutirsges OF tho fTeemen Of the ith dis
tric' under all the circumstances While we admit
the propfety Of the old maSim "that public men are
public property IN some measure, yet the doctrine
would be monsifous TO contend that the public had
nghtto do as ihry pleased Nth "public men" If So
the public would have right 10 drive them from .,p
lar to post day-or even to hang them The leesla
ute hal just elect ed Judge Royce member Of The Su
preme Court, and think that the 4h district had no
just right 10 compel him 10 resign that high station to
which the State had called him, to represent some
Whit tickle district in Congress The State had claim
ed his services and it might have been al least an act of
snPererogaon in Judge Royce 10 have dIsobeyed the
State IN order TO crafty single district, if it had moi
been great derelicton of duty.
Then again, whoever dreamed that Judge Royce in.
cavaliery, as is suggested by the editor OF the Yer
monter' Not one rational freeman, vol venture TO
state, in the Distinct The only apology we can find
for the editor for tins suggestion 49, his probable entire
unacquainiance with the Judge. 1t is true that we had
desire that he should accept the nomination made a.
Cambridge, without much ref ecton or knowledge Of
the state Of the district but now convinced that
we were in an error and that Judge r. was not only
prudent but wise in declining.
We intended in this article to have called the editor
Of the Vermoner to further account for his still more
reprehensibe attack upon of the Senators of this
county, but we have only time to remark that we
hope, for the editors sake that the people of Addison
County relish such gross rudeness towards very wor.
thy and valuable Citizen better than those of Rutland
County.
