From The EraneipatOr:
Mr.. GRASGER.-The Ill day Of May is fixed for
the election of member Of Congress for the eth dis
trct in this State, to supply the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation Of the Hon Francis Granger, appointed
| Postmaster General of the U. S.
Mr. A. Sawyer, of Ontario county, highly resPecta-
table citizen was member Of the State Legislature in
1885, and then gave his vote for Mr. Granger for The
office Of Senator Of the U. S. has recently published
letter in the Friend of Man, stating number of sent
ments which he says he has heard from Mr.. Granger
own lips. They are as follows
"lst. MIR. Granger has said that he had yielded to
the doctrine advanced by Mr.. Sade in his late speech
in regard to the District of Columbia and that the no.
ton Of implied faith the part of Virginia and Mary
| land must be given up.
ss2d. Mr. Granger has said that whenever it could be
proved that shareholders had called to their aid U. S.
troops to put down Instruction the part of the
slaves against the whites whenever il could be made
to appear that u s. troops had been used to sustain
protect slavery that moment Congress would have pow
er to abolish slavery in the different States
"3d Mr. Granger has said that colonization was one
of the greatest Southern humbugs ever invented, and
that long before Gerrit Smith got his eyes open on this
subject, he had openly and avowedly denounced this
scheme, not only in the social circle, but in pubic
meeting.

rio county gave him liberal support in 1883, they
never should have cause to regret it,

To be sure he never was a member OF an antslarery
society, "bu he opposed to slavery and would do
any right thing for its abolition. Ontario county had
too many good and sensible men in The Abolition ranks
to be careless of to them with mpunty, and
it was with small surprise that MIR. Granger took
the stand he did in Congress the first term OF his cleo
