"TuAr CoNrERrNcE' THE Brattleboro Phoenix
is informed that the editor Of the Gazette " Cour-
Ter does not, nor never has disnvpwcd the author
shin of tlat conference, and 'thH the decent por-
ton of Greenfield do not 'drspsc the tnlschood or
pity the folly ul the article. the statements ct GER
tain soeahemfn' 10 the contrary notwithstanding.
The article was peuned by the editor, alter listen
iur to the remarks made Ia public meeting by
one of the gentlemen who attended ME conference,
aud who wa called upon To state ITS result to The
meeting We can produce fifty witnesses who wall
testify that what stated was correct, 1t our nor-
nation was based upon the remarks made at the
rail road meeting in this town on the 21th ult--
Even one of the Phunix's genuemaRiy inturmanis
acknowledged to us that we were corrccL-Ga-ette
and Counter.
It seems then that we were mistaken in saying
that the editor of the Gazette and Courier dsavow-
ed the article we published from that paper last
week, herdrd, "That Conference Our mturma-
ton was derived from Of the most respectable
of the citizens of Greenfield. We are heartily sor-
~ that we were mistaken, and that brother editor
is foJced TO acknowledge article that is in itself
50 faSe and unjust to the citizens of Braitleboro
We do not of course presume TO say that the editor
kne,o the article to be false.
The Gazette aud Courier Of last week in relation
to the conference, says
"A proposition was made BY the Bratileboro dele
CATION that ii hco-firds of the stockholders should
decide that the road must come through Greenfield
il should be 50. The proposition was acceded "a
by our citizens, but upon after consideration the
Brattleboro people backed out Of their own pFopo
stion."
The facts ,rerc that one of our citizens in CONVEX
saton with the Greenfield delegation remarked
that thought had suggested itself to him IN relation
to the location of the road which he should erpress
although, he at the time explicitly declared h
had conferred with no other citizen OF Bra,tlebor'
about il, and knew not that single one Of then
would approve il, or that he himself should do so
He said that it had occurred to him that Greenfield
and Brattleboro might agree to provision in tn
charter for the location Of The road through Green
field, subject to be changed to NoFthield by yoi
of tco thirds of the stockholders or rice yerSd, fo
the location Of the road through Mortified, suhjec
to be changed to Greenfield by vote of any owe

position made by the Bntlleboro delegation" no
was il understood that this suggestion of a singl
individual was acceded 10 by the Greenfield dele
CATION The citizens of Brattleboro backed ont
from nothing.
We rcgre, this misunderstanding this gross mis-
representation Of our citizens, but neither this, nc
the squbs which The Gazette and Courier has see
fit from time time to fire off at our citizens, vi
