HON. WILLIAM SLADE AND THE TIllE
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT


Mr. Editor,-The aspec, of affairs in the ibid
District may we'll excite the attention of those 81
cerely devoted to the Wing cause, whose int,nsI
may be deemed but secondary to those more imn,l
diately interested in the success Of the Wing caI
date in their own District But the relation RV
land county sustains to part of the Sd Disuc, n
part for which these remarks are intended tho 7a
Gus and hearty support she has so long render!
to Mr.. Slade when candidate from the old % Do
trict-these, aside from the interest she feels d
common with the wings Of Vermont for the success
OF the wing ticket. are no trivial reasons for desiring
perfect unanimity Of feeling and OF action on th
part OF tho wings from the whole third District Id
| this connection we would recommend for their e,r
ful consideration the first resolution adopted at lh.
wing convention in this district.
That there is an attempt on the part OF the Loco
foco wire pullers to induce Mr. SIade TO consent "
rum toI at least not TO Withdraw his Nancy as Ss
called Independent, Candidate, can no longer ads
of reasonable doubt. That Mr.. Slade should COZ
sent to be the dupe Of such political gambling is re
voting to the feelings of all genuine wings a3
that the Peoples Press should not Immediate, d,
nounce the deception attempted to be pamed upoi
the wings, is greatly TO be wondered at. Tha, tie
Vergennes vermon,er should second any attempt .
break the harmony Of the wing party is no, SO SO
gular.
In regard to Mr.. Slade, it is a sufficient, reason
why he should not be party to any such poiia
treachery, tina: he has too long been rewarded vri
the honors and emoluments within the gift OF BIZ
constituents, thus TO hazard tho success of the r;
ular wing candidate The honor of being The rep.
resentatve Of $4,000 freemen Of Vermont, for twenI
consecutive years in the halls Of our National b
gisatnre is too great for the poor return Of snh i'll
gratitude as his. Such confidence deserves anil
bier tribute to the generosity and friendship Of s'tI
constituents, than the mere consideration Of penOFI
al aggrandizement.
In regard to the Peoples Press, il !, is what VI
namo purporls to be- the People should keep brig
look out that the man speaking in their name III
their authority, should not consider himself so ideH
flied with the political fortunes of any one man, %
in ministering to the selfish qualification Of that
man, he thus neglec,s the interests OF the many.
In regard to the 'yermoner' the whig party CT |
find no fault The paper processes to be nera
and the man who forms his political creed from Hf
trail papers will be, in politics, either hypoera
fool. fthe Editors can satisfy their conscieOS
that they are living up to their professions In grH
TO the people strictly neutral paper shall ~
complain would barely hint in the mos, dsJc''
manner possible to the readers Of the Verpa'~
that II Is quere, with certain homes, people 'sN
er one OF the Editors is not availing himself A" w
apathy OF the other, to make the utmost eapr'' ,"
the advocates Of his peculiar combinaion Of h'''''
Locofoco, Liberty Party doctrines
These remarks are written in a spirit oil h'
most candor and kindness, setting forth P'in'
few reasons why the regular nominee should Ts's'
the unanimous support OF the Addison C0.'j
wings. 1t is not intended to give offence aD'
old Addison is as true TO her political fam DOW
she has been, they will be received in hs "
they are intended. Harmony will yet prevail .
Vermont be represented in the next Congress
three wings worthy to represen, the s'''e VIZ
political principles are as fixed as her e''rH
hills. HLxItro'
The writer OF the above, evidently has ho' "
the last Peoples Press,'-for although the lo's
ience maintained by that paper in relation
matter treated Of, did, and properly, occasion %.
're"larhin' in this section, the las, paper loos
ground In opposition 10 that action, when
occasion split in the WING par,y-ocessioh W :,
feat OF the regular nominss, and utterly DID ~.
