THE FOURTH DISTRICT AND MIR DlLLING-

JAMES BATES, I'd, SEQ.
Derby, Dec, 25, 1874.


The VI, Patriot snys, "they need him there T in
Comgressl to aid and support the administration by
his voice and his vote" And what is that aid which
the Freomen Of this district may hope from Mr. Dill
Iinghnm7 They may reasonably expect he will aid
to destroy protective Tariff; the hope of tho farmer,
the mechanic and manufacturer his voice WAS
yo raised in Congress in its defence no never!
When cenvassing this district for his own election
he could talk long and loud about tho Tariff and false
ly represent Polk and his purty in favor orproect-
ion. Yes, Mr. d. did represent, that that very party
which hnye over coneuded against the tariff s. whose
leaders nj the presen, session Of Congress are now
making on it, 10 be friends aud supporters Of
protective Tariff Let not the fieemen of this dis
trict have occasion, the people of Pennsylvania
hove,to say, they were deceived by believing Mr.
Polk and his patty were friends of the Tariff. 'rL-y
now own ihay -'@ared lno the support of Folk.
This nvowal has already been made on the floor of
Congress. No Mr. Dillingham; who could knowing
ly attempt TO deceive his consliu enis by palmng on
them free trade president in TO be trusted with
the farming, the wool-growing and the manufactur-
ing interests orvermont What has Mr. d. done in
Congress Two things he has dono which should
be especially known. lst lie made n speech not
in favor the Tariff not advocating the right of Pc
tition, no, was in opposition the law for oectng
members Congress by districts in the several states
This good democratic principle so aeedful to mike
voters acquainted with those for whom thoy vote this
law he spoke ogninsl We want no man in Con-
gress for such purpose. We're the principle ap.
piled to him in Vermont he would find himself at
least 1000 short Of election. Let him take
his medicine in This district
I'd. MIR Dillingham;, since tho present Congress
was in session has cas-, lis vote against Vermont's
receiving whit ia justly and lawfully her due
from the United States, of the distribution of the
surplus revenue amounting 10 5000 goo. The law
is still in force, the treasury has now a surplus, yo,
Mr. D. votes against Vermont having her Just due.
which, Il received, would give to the state the sum
above specified and to the County OF Caledonia ubou,
the sum of s 900.
What say you freemen Of tho fourth district are Won
willing to pay your share towards giving Nr DiIlng
ham Eight Dollars day and allow him Eight DOL
lars for every 20 miles travel going and coming from
Washington, while he, when there, is unwilling Won
should have what is legally and justly your due?-
which sum, if received, as it rightly should be-
would 60 far TO essen your taxes and to school YOUR
children.
The North Star bons,nsly asks ''can any man
in the Wing ranks show single instance in which
Mr. Dillingham; has failcd TO truly represent the inter
ests of Vermont, in National Councils -
answer, such showing | have given; IL showing
which cannot in truth be evaded or denied and such
a shelving as renders it certain that Mr. Chandler
would if elected represent in ''nore lathrul,''
and 'mcrc able manner"
Freemen OF the Fourth District-wih YOU it rests
10 say whether the man who is sold to a party which
would destroy The Tariff; whether the man who votes
you shall not have your Just dues shl Il hereafter bn
paid his Eight Dollars day for misreprescning YOU
and your interests; or whether YOU will have n man
to serve you in Congress who regards the people and
their right more than self.
lryou would avoid, your influence to pre-.
vent the annexation of Texas, If you would wish or
hope ever to Slavery in the United States,
If you would prefer honorable peace to dishonorabe
war, then vote, not for who is glued sold to a
party who openly avows their purpose to have Texas
for the express purpose of rerPctuntng Slavery in the
United States, or no war-rght or wrong To
such party belongs Mr. Dillingham; Who votes for
him votes for Texas and perpetual Slavery. TO a.
void this evil and many others your vote for MIR
Chandler, and then so far you able you will
prevent the curse of Texas and Slavery.
