o. The Free Soil Courier Burlington is
playing into the hands of Lucius B. Peck, the
Patriots candidate for Congress in this district.
Gentlemen, be so good os to explain. Is the
Patriot supporting MI Peck as Barnburner and
a Van Buren, man?-is the Courier supporting
him as a Coss man ?-or are these presses mu-
tually mistaken? Is it possible that Mr.. Peck
is on both sides about these days? We had sup
posed that his "illustrious predecessor" had
patent for that privilege, which Mr. Peck would
be the last man to infringe. We may be msto-
ken, however. The following is the telegraphic
abstract of his maiden speech, from which it
seems he didn't tell who he is for:
Mr.. Peck of Vt. next spoke, and made a
speech in favor of the War, in justification Of
the Administration, in opposition to Gen. TAY-
LoR, and in favor Of the Wilmot Proviso. lie
is pretty fair speaker. in the common accepta-
ton Of the term. lie is new member and this
