Mr.. EDIToR:-ln your paper Of the 18Th
inst, Montpelier correspondent informs Us
that the Tory Convention have nominated
Daniel Kellogg and Wylys Lyman, couple
of La,cyers, for Governor and Lieut.. Cover
nor of this State. Now happen 10 know
this Mr. Kellogg. He is a rich man, carries
gold watch, wears ruille shirt aud as fine
broadcloih as any other lawyer. don't COM
plain OF this. Wealth is no reproach to man,
il he comes honestly by il; and in this free
country, every one has right to dress accor-
ding 10 his own taste. But when the Wings
| uo'n'ii"'', wan who wears good clothes; the
Locos raise terrible hue and cry about it
they call him an GriStocrat, and try 10
excite the feelings of the honest laborers
against him by talking about his money, his
dress and style ofliving. No man has been
| assalled with more slang on account of his
living than Governor Paine, and vet if |
can Judge from his administration there is not
iruer Republican in the country. lie was
the flTst man in this State at least, who took
ground IN favor OF removing the capitol from
the District ofColumba fthe system of slave
ry could not be abolished there. He has nj
ways advocated the republican Gotrine of pro-
tecting the labor ofthe country against the aris-
tocrat monopolies of Europe. He don't go for
incidental protection. But he advocates pro-
lection for the sake of protection, and for the
benefit OF the laboring classes. lie wears but
one face on this subject. His tariff Drincinles
are not the hot bed growth of day. He has
always put them forth boldly In his first
message he took The strongest ground in ia
vor OF protective tariff. In the same mes
sage he came out against the veto power, and
the klngly power Of removal from office. And |
IN all his public acts he has shown himself to
be true friend of popular rights | don't |
know whether he wears a ruille on his shirt
or not nor can tell how fine cloth he wears
But do know he has proved himself to be
republican by his acts And yet the locofuco
papers have denounced him in the bitterest
language, because he had a good education.
and was the son OF his father. They have
called him an aristocrat, and federalist, and
everything else that is bad. This is the ONLY
objection they have ever brought against him.
And they have exalted Nathan Smile TO The
skies because he was farmer and a democrat.
L his was his only virtue. lie was the ear
ner Of LamoiHe." But they can't play this
humbug game any longer. They have now
SET up ticket which has not a single farmer
IN it. They have placed at its head the most
notorious arlstocrat in the State. A man who
never did days work in his life-a LAWYER by
professional dandy in his dress-and per
ect aTstocrat in his character and habits
Again say don't object to Mr. Kellogg be-
'ause he wears broadcloth. But since uG
ocoocos have said So much in favor Of farmer
smile, and against rulIle shirts, don't see
low they can vote for Daniel Kellogg. For
besides his fine cloth, he has been for several
,ears, and for any thing know, he is now,
PRESIDENT OF Bank in Windham County
lie was District Attorney under Jackson and
Yam Buren,an is, and always has been, farther
emoved from the laboring classes than any
'ther man | know in the State. Such is the :
nan the locolocos have nominated for Gov Il
rnor. Whether the party will support him, '
r not, is more than can say. But If Charles !
'aine does not distance him by five thousand =
otes next September, greatly mistake the :
haracter OF the Green Mountain Bows. !
