Ma. EpiroR In your paper of the 18th instant,
Montpelier correspondent informs us that the Tory
Convention have nominated Danil Kellogg and
WHY'S Lyman couple of Laryers, for Governor
and Lieut.. Governor, of this State. Now happen
10 know this Mr.. Kellogg lie is rich man, carries
gold watch, wears ruhle shirt and as fine broad
cloth as any other lawyer. Idon't complain OF this
Wealth 10 no reproach to man, ifhe comes honestly
BY III and in this free country every one has right
10 dress according to his own taste. But when the
Wings nominate man VINO wears good clothes the
Loccs raise terrible hue and cry about it, They
call him an dristocrat, and try to excite the feelings
Of the honest laborers against him by talking about
his money, his dress and style of living. No man
has been assalled with more slang on account of his
style OF living than Governor Paine and yet If can
Judge from his administration there is truer Re-
publican in the country. He the first man in
this State at least who took ground in favor of re-
moving the capitol from the District of Columbia, if
the system of slavery could not be abolished there
He has always advocated the Republican doctrine of
protecting the labor of the country against the arsto-
cratic monopolies of Europe. He don't go for Incl
dental protection. Blu, he advocates protection for
the sake of protection and for the benefit of the labor
ing classes. He wears but one face on this subject
day. He has always put them forth boldly. In his
first message he took the strongest ground in favor of
protective tariff. In the same message he came out
against the veto power and the kingly power of re-
mova from office. And in all his public acts he has
shown himself to lie true friend of popular rights.
don't know whether he a ruflle on his shirt
or not nor can tell how fine cloth he wears. But
do know he has proved himself TO be a republican
by his acts. And yet the locoioco papers have de-
nounced him in the bterest language because he had
good education. and was the son of his father
lhey nave called him an arstocrat, and federast,
and every thing else that is bad This is the only
objection they have ever brought against him And
they haveexalted Nathan Smile to the skies because
he was farmer and democrat. This was his only
virtue. He was the Farmer Of LamoNc." But
they can't play this humbur game any longer. They
have now set up ticket which has not a single far
mer on II. They have placed at its head the most
notorious aris,ocrat in the State. man who never
did days work in his life-aawyer by profession
dandy IN his dress-and perfect aristocrat in his
character and habits Again say I don't object to
MI. Kellogg because he wears broad cloth But since
the locofocos have said so much in favor of f1rmcr
Smie and against rufile Shirts don't see how thtv
can vote for Daniel Kellogg. For besides his fine
CLOTH he has been for several years. and for anv thing
know. hels now, president of Bank in Windham
County He was District Attorney under Jack son
and Van Buren,. and is and always has been farther
removed from the laboring classes than any other
mani know in this State. Such is the man the loco
foeos have nominated for Governor. Whether the
party will support him, or not, is more than can
say. But if CHARLES Paine does not distance him bv
I've thousand votes next September, greatly mstak,
