SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DIsrRIcr.
VERMONT, June Is, 1912.

SEhIhONl, june 10, IOi-
DEAR Sir: The Wings of this district he'd
convention for the purpose of nominating can
didate for Representative to Congress, yester-
day, at Royallon. 1t was very thinly attended,
there not being more than 60 or 70 delegates
and spectators in attendance julius Converse,
Esq, Of Woodstock, was President Of the Con-
vention.
strong effort was made TO procure the re-
nomination of Horace Everett, headed or led
on by Consul Jdrris, of w ea h crsheId; better
known as the Great Dictator of Windsor
county But it was of no avail Hon Jacob
Col,amer, of Woodstock, ex-Judge of the Su-
preme Court, received the nomination He is
man Of the Uebster and Gushing school of
politics; and is what may probably be termed
Conservative. He will, ! think, be elected
Mr. Horace Everett is what the Green Noun
tain boys call "used mp man" Last fall he
made every effort in his power TO obtain the
election Of Senator, and was defeated He
next fell back upon bis old cons itutnts, and ap-
pealed TO their sympath S for reelection, but
they have cast him eff. His next move weu
jersland, will be to offer himself as a candidate
for the Office of Governor of the State TO The
convention which is TO be holden at Rutland
the 2S'h Instant. He viii, in our humble up-
mon, meet with the same fate which has al
tended him thus far in his office seeking and Office
begging attempts to urge the people to support
him contrary to their own wishes. The Mani
festo" is still before him, and haunts him ks The
oh Of do tad cpiri b,t u L -.
He may learn lesson, If he be not already TOO
old that in irving to head our 1cortty ReDuJli-
can Chief Magistrate, he has been the means
of preparing galows, Haman-like, whose first
victim that should suffer would be himself al
though erected for another How true il is that
che way of the trangressor is hard" JH.
Harris, Esq of Straliord, was apr cinted do
legate 10 the Wing natIonll convention. Aswe
were not present, and have our information Sc
cond handed, and therefore cannot vouch for
the truth of it, we understand that an effort vas
made TO unite with the Abolitionists, and noni-
nate their candidate, Titus Hutchinson, (already
in the 6eld,) Of Woodstock, and the Wing and
Abotlonjsts have but one candidate, which
proved unsuccessful.
In Hon. VIM. Shades district, the Wings held
a convention the h inst, and nominated Geo.
P. Marsh, Esq, of Burlington, for Representa-
tive to Con ,ress Sade was expecting the
and his friends were very sanguine
Of his obtaining it, But we read, the hopes Of
he wicked perish. Vermont will be repre-, ent-
I'd in the next Congress by an entire new dele
ration Everett, Slade, Matlocks and Young
IRE dropped by their own party Comment is
There is nothing Of Importance going on
'mong us at the present time The Bunker
Hill Celebration, the President and Cabinet,
Daniel Webster, the great military display
which will there be made in honor of the day
Ind the President, are the epgrossng themes Of
conversation among all classes. 1t will be a
,reat day for New England, the like which we
hall not for long time, it ever, witness again,
Yours, &C. OBSERVER,
