OLD RUTLAND AGAIN.

Our readers will rccollect that we stated
last week That portion of the Wings of |
Rutland county were dissatisfied because |
Judge Williams did not receive the nominal
ton for Governor of the State, at the late
Wing Convention, and that we noticed ru-
NOR, which was spreading in this vicinity, |
that the Hon. SOLOMON FooT, was among
the number Of the disdllccted. We stated
also that this gentleman was one of the very
last in the State whose political integrity we
should ever have questioned and we are now
happy TO assure our friends, on the very test
authority, that the rumors we noticed last
week, are, so far as Mr.. Foor is concerned,
entirely unfounded, and do him great MUS
tice. MIR. FooT is ready to unite most cor
daily with the great mass of his political
friends in the State in support of the nomi-
nces of the late State Convention and will
cheerfuy do all in his power to promote the
success of the regular Wing Ticket. While
we are most happy to be able thus to correct
the reports in regard to Mr.. Foot, We regret
to be obliged to say that we have as yet seen
nothing to induce us to alter the statement we
made last week IN any other parlicular-
Once more, therefore, we appeal to our
political friends in Rutland county. We
appeal 10 them as the common participants
of the glorious victory we achieved last fall
What good reason can you assign TO your
brethren abroad for opposing Col. Paine and
Mr. Ranney, the regular nominees of your
party? Are they not the fairly chosen cam
didates of Il convention fairly called, proper
y conducted, and well attended by the
Wings of this State ; Are they no, men of
sufficient capacity, sound political principles,
and unimpeachablc integrity Have they
not labored long, fought zcalously, and sac
riiced much in supper, of the great princi-
piles with which the Wing party IS identified!
We know the Tory presses delight in abu
sing them. But is that suiiicien, reason to
justify you in opposing them! Have they
not denounced Governor JENIsoN, as the
candidate of the aris,ocracy! Did they
not stgma,ize him as an odious, Hartford
Convention Federalist and toni Of the
Bank spectators! Did they not most gross
ly SANDER the patriot HARRISON and sheer al
his fair fame What phrase was too gross
what epilhet too scurrous for them to appl,
to that vcncratcd name -! Did they not de.
nounce him as "a cowari," "o granny
"a superannuatcd old dotard," and ga Bri.
tish Federatistw Did they not a,tcmp, tc
iastcn upon him the foul and calumnious
charge of approving a lan to scHpoor schh'
men into siarery? And did the Wings o
Rutland county hesitate Or waver in thci
support Of these men on account of thes,
slandcrous accusationsl Did they not, OF
the contrary, rally around them with tho
greater zeal and more generous enthu.
siasm2 And what should now deter then
from supporting Col. Pane and the Other
nominees of the party 7 We cannot be-
leve that our friends in Rutland county arc
prepared to abandon the Wing cause and
play into the hands of the Tory party, and
yet such VIC believe to &c the tendency of the
move lately made by the Rutland Herald
We ask our friends there, if they are quite
sure, that in opposing the fairly chosen can
ddate of their party, they are establishing a
precedent, which they will be willing to see
others follow hereafter
