THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.

It's Value - Unpatriotic disposition Of neglect.
ing it,
Mr.. EDITOR: As the election is near at hand,
| wish through your paper to call the attention
of the people, and especially such as are in the
habit Of neglectng to attend the polls, to the sub.
ject of the elective franchise, or in other words,
the privilege Of giving vote for those whom we
would choose to act as our public servants.--
That this is great and highly important privi-
lege must be seen at once from the fact that
without it, it is impossible for a republican gov
eminent to exist, for how can the people be said
to govern but by their votes II then such be
the case if nation in order TO enjoy civil liber
ty, must have voice in electng its rulers the
public servants thereof how important and me-
cessary that every one entitled by our Constitu-
ton and laws TO vote, should be mindful of their
duty as well as privilege of voting. There is
no person who as an individual composes part
Of the community of a nation, but is interested
in the effects which the acts Of the governing
aut horities are found to have on the welfare and
prosperity thereof, and whether we be prospe.
rous or otherwise, makes no real difference in
the proprety of the exercise of this right, for il
prosperous, let US take care to secure the cleo.
ton of those who will endeavor to maintain that
blessing if otherwise, it becomes US to do the
most in our power to help choose those who will
rescue the country from it's endorsements
so that we may see that there is no good excuse
in any case for man to neglect his privilege as
"a freeman by not voting, when he can; and lie,
it be remembered that the man who is in the
habit of negectng to vote shows himself to be
possessed of narrow selfish mind, and that he il
is destitute of patriotism, and regard for the inter
ests of his country,a character which no true mar
will, and no man in government like ours ought
to desire. Let every man think of this, and re-
solve to do his duty on the first Tuesday of Sep
tember next. REPUBLICAN,.

DOCTORS DIFFER.

Capt. Tyler's colared menlal, Winslow,
is making himself very busy in the election,
and, is of opinion that our candidate for
town representative will be vetoed" The
True Democrat manifests more alarm-dc-
votes half column of capitals TO the sub
ject, and is manifesty quite tinctured with
that prejudice which some college graduates
acquire for the humble and less snowy at
tainments of the practical mechanic, and the
laborer. But our young friend will find this a
lore extensive country" than he at pres
ent imagines, and the result may satisfy him
that ia the estimation of the people, there
are other men than lawyers fitted for legis-
lation. Blu, we shall not multiply words on
this point.
On the other hand, our brethren of the
Press alb road seem to look with decided ia.
vor upon the prospect of being rcprcsen'
ted, and have given utterance in various
quarters, TO sentiments like these:
From the Middebury Peoples Press.
The Burlington wings have nominated Henry L
STACY, Editor Of the Free Press, for candidate I
the Legislature. Stacy is a head and shoulder tale
inside than he appears to be out and from his nyed
ing perseverance and intrepdity in the good caus'
deserves the esteem and confidence Of the wings {
that noble town. We should rejoice in his election
From the Clinton County Wing.
II The Wings Of Burlington have nominated +
B. Stacy, Esq of the Free Press az o candidate
represent that town in the next legislature. TIL
nomination sure will give general satisfaction
His independence OF character and correct politici
principles, with his long devotion and able advocac
of the cause of the producing classes cannot but Ell
sure him an overwhelming vote. Mr.. Stacy con
.snenced the Free Press in Burlington several yea
ago, when Van Ness and men of the like kidney eS
erciscd an controlling influence in that vcin
His paper was commenced as an experiment, Wi
but small patronage, and it has battled until Il
tables have been turned upon those political quack:
and the Free Press is now in point of patronage al
reputation second to no paper in Vermont; while Il
"Sentinel," the organ of the old broken down dyna
ty, is hardly able to sustain itself.

OFANoTHER WARNING TO Wing ABoLI-
TIoNIsTs.--We earnestly entreat those Wing
Aboltionists who were intending to vote the
third party ticket to read the following be-
fore they 60 to the polls. And remember that
the chairman of the third party committee
for Franklin county attended the convention
which nominated John Smith as a candidate
to represent this district in Congress, and
took an active part in the proceedings. We
learn also, from good authority, that this same
third party man is non busily engaged in en-
deavoring to persuade his brethren to vote
for Mr.. Smith. We hope all our honest
abolition friends will profit by this informa-
ton. Both Judge MArTocKs and Mr..
MARSH are much more strongly committed
in favor of Abolitionism than Mr.. Smith has
ever been.
THE HAND BEHIND THE SCENE-THE
WAY THE CARD is PLAYED.
Locofocolsn has had no hope of overturnlng the
Wing Abolition State Government of Vermont in any
open field and in an open honest manner; hence a
inning and undermining system must be resorted to
10 elect H. t. d. Barber last year. was by the lead
ers, by management and collision with certain loco
foco pretended aboliIonlsts, put upon both the loco
and the third party ticket, with the view Of drawing
to 1t wing abolilionlss, and thereby defeating the
Wing State I'cket-whle these very pretended abo-
litonlss all the time intended to vote the regular
locofoco ticket and did so vote. We dono say these
things without convincing proof of the facts.
Soon after election last year we fell in with an &C
tive locoioco, TO whom we remarked IN reference To
the defeat of two wing abolition candidates for Office
that many of our wing abolionists voted the third
pary ticket while pretended locofoco abolltionsts
when they came to the ballot boxes, voted the regular
loco ticket thus drawing the wing votes u the third
party and locofoco votes, thus securing the cleo
ton of his party candidates. Yes" said the loco
foco, "our men knop better than TO do Mat-ice do
not ailo,o them 10 scatter their rotes."
Another fact In town in this State, last year, a
leadlnga active locofoco pretended some weeks be-
fore election to be a convert to third partyism. He
clustered away talked about the poor slave the wings,
and occasionally where il would do no hurt gave a
slight dab at his old friends to give apparent credit to
the honesty OF his conversion. So he got up TO APP
earances, party of about equal numbers of wings

MILTON.

The Wings of Milton are girding on their
armor with spirit and enthusiasm which
will ensure them brilliant victory next
Tuesday. They held caucus on Monday
Evening last, and nominated A. G. WHIT
rEMoRE as their candidate for town Repre-
sentative. Mr.. WHITTEMoRE ought to re-
ceive every Wing vote in that staunch Wing
town. For, whether we regard the sound
ness of his political creed, or his ability to
defend it, there is no man in this county more
worthy of Wing suffragcs. We understand
Mr.. w. received every ballot, except his
own, at the first trial in caucus-and we hope
the WHIGs OF MILTON will see TO it that
his claims are backed mp by a good round
majority next Tuesday.
After Mr.. WIS nomination the following
resolution was unanimously adopted.
Resoired That the Hon. William Slade in declining
TO be candidate for Congress at the present time has
in our opinion, been guided by patriotic motives; anC
that his course in this respect, constitutes addoa
al claim upon his constituents for their appreciation
of his political ,.fe."

THE CHALLENGE.

We published an article from the ST. AL
bans Messenger week before last setting
forth that the friends of the Hon. John
Smith had proposed to have joint political
discussion between Messrs. Marsh and
Smith, and that the friends of Mr.. MARSH
very cheerfully accepted the proposal. The
Messenger further stated that the friends of
Mr.. Smith, finding the Wings not only will
ling but anxious to have the discussion take
place, had declined TO make the "prelimina-
ny arrangements, or, in other words, had
" backed out" The last Sentinel contain
ed an article, copied from the st. Adams
Republican, pronouncing the statement in
the Messenger to be false and making some
very scurrilous charges against GEO. F.
HoUGHToN Esq, member of the Franklin
County Wing committee. The last Mes
scnger contains triumphant refulatlon of
the statements in the Republican, in which
it is distinctly proved, by two different wit
nesses, that one of the most intimate person.
al and political friends Of the "Hon. John
Smith" did propose Joint discussion be
tween the two gentlemen, and that too, at-
ter a consultation with Mr.. Smith himscJ;-
and that, when il was found that Mr.. MARSH
and his friends promptly accepted the chal-
-idnge, it was suddenly discovered that the
Hon John Smith" was obliged to be alb.
sent to attend an audit at the time the meet
ing ras to be held! Our readers can draw
their own differences.
