formerly been the democratic candidate for Cover
nor. Solomon Foote, of Rutland, George p. Marsh,
OF Burlington, Jacob Collamer, of Woodstock, and
George B. Chandler, of Danville, are the wing can
didates for Congress. MIR. Foote has been Speaker
of the House of Representatives; Mr.. Marsh is a
lawyer in Burlington, and is in company with WHY'S
Lyman, the democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor He has never been up before the people
for any office, and therefore he is but little known
Jacob Collamer has formerly been enc OF the Judges
OF the Supreme Court, and has taken an active part
in the political world. He is rather conservative in
his politics; the least tainted with abotionsm-
We append the following information in relation to
the vote both for the Congressional and State candi-

Another paper reports as follows-

pointed Consul at Altoona, at the request of Mr..
Choa;e, U. s. Senator. So says the Washington
correspondent of Boston paper. The connexion
between this man and Mr.. Choate is very singular
twas Mr.. Choste who extorted his nomination as
Consul to Rio Janeiro from the President, during
the last Congress. IL was Mr.. Choate who seduced
the Senate 10 confirm the nomination, which Pow

the disgrace OF an election, for which the Senate
was prepared, on learning who he was. Mr.. Choate
