rcciion this one was cal d, bu, as we deem
II Of some importance that even noir. some
thing should be said, in r,!cfucc to the
strange action OF this body, We al bIi, Nv
alludc TO one or two facts, aud let ,ha, SUI.
fee Tor 'hc present, |, would nppcar from
he tone md general barring of ia, gentle.
men heading this movement, lha, they have
openly come GU, and adopted the rulc or
ruin policy shielding themselves from the
Impua,on Of wishing TO create a division
IN the Wing ranks, by modcslIy asking the
300oFrceWhig voters Of Rutland county, to
come to them, rather than tina, they should
surrender their Personal hostility to one of
the regularly nominated candidates. Wo
sny one OF the candidates, rs TO one only,
has there been made any objection aud
Yet we see tho names Of iiro dropped
from the regular tickle, and the names Of
Two other gentlemen subs. itucd who 10 say
the least, are IN no way superior in point Of
talent, in moral honesty o iuih,ir devotion
TO the wing cause. to the gentlemen whose
names were placed upon the tickle, n, ;hc
regular and nu,hor,a,ively called county
convention. I, should be rccollcc,cd ,hn,
n, the county convention (hoIdrn on the 4lh
inst - t,reniy.Onc out Of the twcn,y.six
towns were represented; AMI i, should
be known and remembered that The com.
ml,!ee rnls d from these 81 towns. were mp.
pointed in s.fic, accordance with the wishes
Of The gentlemen who now oppose the nom.
nation, and in the manner precisely u. ur.
god and recommended by them. In this
respccithcre was n striking similitudc in
the two conventions OF which we speak -
Ia both, the Brandon gentlemen had all the
arrangement Of preliminarics, g. the only nc.
tual difference in the one case and the other
was in the fact tina, while they could not en-.
tircly control the action OF the two hundred
honest and true wings of twcnly.onc towns
Of the coun.y-,hcy did succeed in man.
ner, we doub, not, TO their entire saisfac
'ion in controlling the action Of the couple
Of dozen from four townsville they had
around them on the las, occasion.
We alludc to the number Of towns rep
resented On this occasion the more especial.
ly, as il was mnnifes.ly, the wish of the
LEADERS, of the movement, that fraud should
be prac'iced upon the county, in reference
to this matter Upon the adoption Of the
report Of the committee recommending
the nomination Of John For, Piny Holmes
and Un. p NoycS, as whig Senator's for
the county Of Rutland in opposition to the
regularly nominated ticket, the proper en-.
quiry was respectfully made us to the mum.
Der Of towns rcprcs ,n,ed on ,ha, committee
To this enquiry, an unbccoming and cx.
cccdngly insolen, answer was m ,de by one
Of the leaders oflhe nc.ly formed faction
aud tho gentleman making the enquiry was
informed tina, "ho could seek an answer to
his enquiry where he though, be could
find it Ia urging this enquiry s'll far.
Their an attempt was made 10 hiss down The
question, md mos amusing was II to see the
readiness Of lhc locofocos-ever true TO
their ins,incis-in coming 10 the aid OF their
'pl incrs IN distress on tins occasion
The cause o, reluctance on the part OF
the wire pulling portion q the con.
ven.ion to answer ihis very proper enquiry
was fully explained by a member OF the
committee moro honest than themselves -
