Honest Jack Mattocks,n as the Coons call him,
is the Wing candidate for Governor; he lives in
Peacham and was member of the last Congress,
and, desparing Of a reelection, used some discre
ton IN declining to be again candidate for that Of
nee. lie was put IN nomination by the Wings, on
account OF his abolition principles, in hopes thereby
TO secure the votes of these deluded fanatics Whe
Their he will be elected Governor, is a matter of
much doubt My opinion, however, is that he will
not be elected by the people. But father Richie
says, ".No,S ue,rons." Charles l.. Williams, of
Rutland, Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court, is the
Liberty party or abolition candidate for Governor.
He is also Wbig 1t is not.expeced by any one
that he can be elected. He is set up to draw off
some few votes from the Democratic candidate, who
makes no profession of abolitonism. Williams is
as good Wing as Maltocks and Mattocks as good
an Aboliiionist as Williams. So you will see that
the Wings have what istermed, in common parlance,
two strings to their bow. ! have no sympathy for
these abotienists for they set of corrupt dis
honest, and unprincipled men, who not satisfied
with any thing that they do not themselves possess
If they had the power to hold slaves given them, in
this State they would be the first to possess them
selves of slaves, and the last to give them up We
hope and trust that the intelligent freemen Of Yer
mont will frown down the base coalition Of the
Wings and abolionists for we can regard the rela-
tive position of these two parties in other light
to array portion of our feIlow-citzens against
the other for the base and selfish purpose of retain
ing political power We do not--,he honest and in
telligent freemen of Vermont do not wish to inter-
fere with the domestic institutions Of brethren at
the South. We think them capable Of managing
their own private concerns, and shall continue to
think SO until they call for advice and assist
ance. Gen. T. B. Ransom, OF Norwich, G. B. Har-
rington, of Middetown, Hon. John Smith, of st.
Adams, AID Paul Dillingham;, jr. Esq. of Waterbury,
are the Democratic candidates for members of Con-
gress. They are all good men and true, and deserve
to be elected Paul Dillingham;, jr. has formerly
been the Democratic candidate for Governor and is
man that is universally beloved and respected by
the people of Vermont in general. He will be
elected by triumphant majority, we do not doubt
OF the other three, we have not much hopes Of their
election.
Solomon Foots, Of Rutland, George P Marsh, Of
Burlington, Jacoh Colamer, of Woodstock, and Geo.
B. Chandler, of Danville, are the Wing candidates
for Congress. The prospect now is that Messrs.
Foote, Marsh, ani Collamer will be elected Mr..
Fooe has been Speaker Of the House of Representa-
tives and is of respectable talents, but rabd
Wing. Mr.. Mars, is lawyer in Burlington, and is
in company with Wyllys Lyman, the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor He has never
been up before the people for any Office, and there
fore he is but little known. Jacob Colamer has for
mery been one Of the Judges of the Supreme Court,
and has taken active part in the political world.
He is rather conservative in his politics; the least
tainted with abolitonsm, and unobjectlonable as
any man that could have been nominated by the
Wings. OF George 3. Chandler we know nothing,
and the public will not know any more (or he stands
possible chance Of election) for long time to
come, unless they become acquainted with him in
the walks of private life. After the election over
| WILL if desired, forward the result. The farmers
with us are very busy harvesting their crops which
are very good and the weather for securing them
never better.
