"THAT CONFERENCE" SETTLED.

The following which we copy from the Greenfield
Gazette X Courier, is doubtless intended as an
Gmende honorable for its mis.statements in regard
to chat Conference, Dad as such we receive ii -
although it would nave been more satisfactory and
according to our notions more manly, to have fairly
stated the facts in reference to il. The "similar
proposition "spoken of by Brattleboro gentle
man, was very dissniiar one.
The Gazette d Courier is correct in believing
that except for IFS erroneous article misrepresen.
ing citizens, different "arcle would have an.
peared in the Vermont Phenx of the 9th inst )" but
we do not think that ga more gentlemanly" one
was required in answer TO its mis- statements.
chat CONFERENCE AGAIN.-Since the pub
LEGATION Of our last paper, we have been in
loimed for the first time, that although sim
liar proposition TO the one published, was
spoken of by Brattleboro gentleman, at that
conference, the delegation did not agree TO it,
Our Information was derived from the remarks
OF Greenfield gentleman present, and we, as
well as others, supposed them correct, and as
such we published them. Since, the gentle
man has Informed us that if he made the state
ments we published, he meant not to be so I'M
derstood.
We are informed one or two gentlemen in this
village, think the remarks in our last paper per-
sonal. We here inform them that we had not
the remoiest idea OF applying our remarks in a
personal manner to any gentleman. But we
thought then, and still think, if they had taken
the trouble TO set us right in regard TO that
conference, it would have been satisfactorily
settled at once, and more genllcmanly article
would have appeared in the Vermont Phoenix
)i the 5lh inst, which article called forth the
remarks in our last PAPER"

DISTRICT TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The friends of temperance in The District
comprised in the towns of Chesterfield, Hins-
dale and Winchester, met in Convention OF
Hinsdale, on Wednesday, the ION INST.
Simeon Horton, Esq. of Hinsdale, was chos--
en- President, and Col. George ii. Fitch oil
Chesterfield, Secretary.
The meeting was opened with prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Furber of Hinsdale.
On motion, Rev. MessTs. Spaulding, Brown,
Furber and Hale, were chosen Committee 10
prepare business for the consideration OF the
convention.
Reports from the different towns in the
District, indicated favorable results from the
efforts recently made, showing great increase
of names to the pledge; among whom have
been several Of very incorporate habits.
The committee subsequently reported the
following resolutions, which were discussed at
considerable length by G.. G.. Webster, Esq.
and Rev. b. T.. Hale of Chesterfield; Rev. G.
$. Brown, DR.. Boyden, Rev. Mr.. Furber and
Messrs. Morey and Doolittle of EIinsdaIe; and
Rev. Mr.. Spaulding Of Winchester.
Resolved, That past success in the temper
ance reformation affords occasion for great
gratitude, and that we are encouraged to labor
more ardently and actively than ever for its
complete triumph.
Resolved, That the inconsistencies Of the
professed friends of temperance is a source Of
deep regret, and is one of the worst features in
the present aspect Of the cause.
Resolved, That the retailer of ardent spirits
as a beverage, is responsible for the effects of
his business; and as this involves him in great
guilt and exposes him To awful calamites, our
love to him ought 10 induce US TO do all in our
power TO prevent his continuance in the BUSH
ness.
Several other Resolutions were presented
and laid upon the table for discussion at the
subsequent meeting.
AT O'Clock p. NJ, C. c. Webster, Esq. Of
Chesterfield delivered an interesting Address

vention be published in the County papers and

For these objects, Wings of Vermont
you contcnded in 1910, and in their support
we invoke you TO a renewed effort Let US
attain them, and, in the words of the nobest
statesman of the age, Henry Clay, eve
shall cease to be afflicted with bad admins

IN every town, or by union of towns, on
Thursday, the 22d DAY OF FEBRUA-

birthday of WASHINGTON. 1t is his
virtuous example. his selEdenying patriot
ism, his love Of constitutional liberty, that
we would remember, and his principles, ex-
emplfied in the administration Of our coun-
try, that we desire to maintain. We ask
you not however, to meet on that day, in
the spirit of party, nor yet as citizens Of
Vermont alone. As the name and the char
acter of Washington are the inheritance Of
our whole country, so let our aims and
views on that day, comprehend the welfare
OF that country. Let us meet as AMERI-l
CANS; and measuring our political pruci-
pies and aims by the standard of his whose
fame has rendered the day llustrious to all
lime, we shall inspire ourselves with new
zeal in their behalf, when we find, as we
shall, to how great an extent they
ire identical. In this spirit assemble, fell |
ow Wings, and you will have begun the
contest in manner which shall sustain YOU
o triumphant result, and enable you to
,estow the electoral vote Of "unconquered |
upon the statesman whom your
delegates at Baltimore shall present for your
nllrage, by majority which shall be wor-
y the CAUSE and the MAN.
