The first resolution being tenabl- the
other follows AS a matter Of course; il
being an 'mp"r'an, duty Of the commit.
tee to call the freemen together for the
selection Of candidates for Office when
vacancies occur.
Now. If it il true that the doctrine of
these solutions is not recognized Inv
the wings Of the District. We would Xix.
TO inquire why all the towns in the Dis.
trict save one, appointed delegates to the
Rutland convention. This appears like
recognizing the legitimacy of the call
And because the friends of Mr.. Miner
after canvassing their strength and find.
ing Themselves in the minority refused
to act in the convention, il does not af-
feet this recognition, but only goes to
show the unfair means those individu.
al were ready to make use of to affect
their purpose.
OF the detailed account Of the pro.
ceed'ngs had at Manchester we have
few comments TO maze. as the people
are already in possession Of the mate
rial facts in the case. We will say,
however that the convention by the
particular request Of Mr.. Miners friends
and against the wishes of Mr.. Lyman $,
was called as mass convention
and every man who acted in that con-
vention, whether from Bennington or
elsewhere. was invited there by the call
and had full right and was expected to
act and if Mr.. Lyman's friends
saw fit to attend and Mr.. Miners did
not, no one was to be blamed, unless
it was the ab-entees. The charge
that large portion of those who attend
ed from Bennington, and supported Mr..
Lyman were locofocos, foreigners, and
miners, is utterly untrue. as we have
abundan, evidence Of knowing. although
Mr.. Miners friends have taken every
occasion to spread this foul assertion
broadcast over the District for the pur-
pose Of njuring the political reputation
of Mr. Lyman. We dcspise the motive
oHu Npuhi tual SUCH charges
come with a bad grace from wings. who
have been in active cooperation with
these same individuals for years past,
and evince spirit of disorganz alton to
be deprecated by all lovers Of harmony.
Our correspondent admits that previous
20 the convention il was understood that
: either Mr. Lyman or Mr. Miner was to
be selected, II that was 50, it is unrea-
sonable to suppose, the convention being
called as it was, that the warm personal
friends Of Mr.. Lyman from Bennington
and elsewhere should pretty generally
attend and participate in the proceed
ings; and for this attendance, is it just
TO charge them with being locofocos,
&c. 4? We think not.
