Well, Mr.. CLARKE, the annual election cam
paign with view 10 influencing the minds of
the tiecmen for their votes on the first Tuesday
of September, may be said to be begun, and it
has been customary for me to offer something
in relation to the subjects involved in the con-
test, or at least it may perhaps be expected,
from the circumstance of my having heretofore
done so. | have, however, no topic at this time
on which care to enter into discussion in
the columns of the Free Press, or any other pa
| per- or none at least that intenl, under exs-

and wish in this communication to state the
reasons why; and those reasons may be found
in the uncourteous and ungenerous conduct of
some of;he editors ofWhig papers in this State;
not but that some have been honorable enough
to respond to my papers sent to them, but it Is

papers in Vermont in the South part of the
State, seem apparently determined not to tender
the courtesy of an exchange with the Autograph
of late, viz, the Vermont Union Wing, the Ru'-
lind Herald, Vermont Journal, and the Yer
mont Star The two first especially, have
maintained sullen doggeI silence, notwith-
standing have mailed two or three Autographs,
and letters to them to the efie of requesting
an exchange. Now put it to you, and every
candid man If this is treating brother Wing
in becoming generous manner? For my part
do not, and must say, Notwithstanding what
may be urged by way of expostulatlon against
/ allowing personal Sights to turn us from our
duty, that feel that such things must and will
have their effect and influence on a persons
