Gov. Paine and his Re
vilers.

No party in the world have ever conduc-
ted an electioneeling campaign im so un
scrupulous and reckless manner as have
the locofocos the present one in our Slate
They have published the most malicious
statements and insinuatinns against Gov.
Paine, and have continued to reiterate them
in the most shameless manner. The pa
pers, many of them, have waged continu-
al warfare against the private character of
Gov. Paine, when no one better knows, Than
do these same celumnIators, that nothing
can be more false and unfounded than are
their publications respecting him. Brt they
will do no injury. The people know thenr
TO be false, and that the locofocs have re-
sorted to this Infamous mode of conducting
the canvass for the purposes Of keeping their
own political principles out of sight Of the
people. 1t will not work. The people arc
satisfied that Gov. Paine is am honorable
and high minded man. and that his views
on all questions of public policy are deer
dedly Wing, and such, as If carried out will
best promote our individual and national
interest He is in favor OF protective tan

farmers and thu mechanics Of Vermont.
The letters written by him the last win
ter TO orr delegation IN Congress, urging
and recommending higher duty en- wool
and woolens are sufficient evidence of the
anxiety he feels for our interest. These
| letters too, we should bear in mind were
written, not in view Of a coming election J;
| for at that time, no one knew, that he would
again be a candidate for fhe office which
he so well fills with credit to himself, and
with so much honor to the State. Without
any disparagement we can say with truth,
that his message to the Legislature, in Oct.
last, was one of the ablest ever pronounced
before that body. Ii was so considered by
| the Wing Press in other States, and tho
manner in which ii was assafied by the lo-
cofoco press in other States is sufficient
guarantee of its ability and IT'S worth.
Gov. Paine is emphaticalIy laboring
man. Call upon him, when you will. at
his residence in Nofthfefd, and you will
ever find him employed. He is one of our
| frank. open hearted generous Vermonters.
! lie feels himself above no one and never
did. He converses with perfect free
dom with all who desire 10 converse with
him, and his conversation is ever of an IN
tructive character. He descends to no lit
tie petty intrigues and cabaIs to secure his
end, but his whole course of conduct is in
the highest degree honorable and manly
He contributes literally from the little that
he possesses in this world. towards public
and private charities. and in this respect
furnishes such perfect contrast to Nafh1r
Smile. that the lOcofCcOs blush even when
they are brought into comparison.
We cannot believe that the frecmen of
Vermont who have regard for the interest
of the State, can for moment hesitate 10
cast their votes for Gov. Paine. He is
emphatically one of you, and will ever aim
to do all That he can to promote your inter-
est. His administration, thus far, has re
hected honor upon the STATE; and it is a
stigma upon the character of orr freemen,
to suppose. that they would cast ASIDE
we'll tried and faithful public servant, in the
vain hope of lettering their condition in the
elevation of such a man as Nathan Smile.
