Mr.. Lyman. In hi, address !. led to
make Li,,cr complaints ~ 10 the open
aud violent attacks made mot only upon
hi. political bu, upon his personal char
se,cr on The part Of Mr.. Miners friends,
and gives this - an essential reasos'
~hy he cannot withdraw from the can.
,as.. Whether this charge might or
might not apply I" tome over-zeaIoos
friends VIC DO moi pretend to know but
hat Mr.. Miner himself would author
re Nh net Of mcanness OF this kind, |,
no, with us suppoaable case. We
have known him too long and too well
10 credit such an imputation without
posifi~e evidence and We arc some.
what surprised that Mr.. Lyman should,
even by implication bring such charge
against lin.
A. a farther illustration Of the spirit
that is to characterize this warfare, il
carried on, we will briefly alludc 10 an
article which VIC were boil, surprised
md sorry 10 see in the Vermont TriL.
une Of Saturday last an article thai
certainly ca" DO Mr.. Miner no good
and which ia lily calculated, as We
LIQUID think, to allay the present ex'
ci.emen. or bring back union and har.
mony I" the whiy party Of the Dis.
trict.
After avowing it, dislike to all schisms
in the wing party-in abiding to the
new convention called by the regular
ly constituted committee, the Tribune
.ays:
mo one, we imsginc, who under.
stands the facts Of the case, and who j,
not influenced by perscnal preferences
cannN for moment doubt but that the
convention to be held nj Rutland on tie
18th inst. is iAegai--thst Whatever it
action may he, the s0hiys Of tie Di.tric
riW not be bound 10 adhere to it-tAa
tie rhigs If to,css composing Me dis
triet riH not be represented at tho
C"nremtiom.. The call is spurious, thu
Convention will lie spurious, and il
nomininee will be a counterfeit Of ,
Wing. rs regards principle and estab
lisheI usage. And il will be detected
Whoever he may be, il he accept tn
preferred position, lie will lack the yer,
essence Of u Wing, and will forfeit Iii
claim a. SUCH"
| This certainly strikes us IS curiou
evidence Of depreciation Of a schisn
in the wing party and we are quit
sure that it will 50 strike very many O
Mr.. Miners strongest and truest friend
who have not As yet expressed an!
preferences a. TO the two candidates
and who sre waiting quietly, to Sc
what time and another convention ma,
bring forth.
Again in speaking Of the wing party
its principles and it, creed. and in allu
sion as we suppose, TO the Mancheste
Convention he says:
). It's caucusses are not packed by po
litical aspirants its Conventions ar
not composed Of hired ruff.scuffs of Lo
cofoism its expressed wishes are nc
perverted by the influence Of rum j,
actions are not controlled by filthy IL
ere; in fact Wing principles are nc
baTered for a mess Of po,age.
This We should regard as rathe
, strong language as applied to q larg
portion d bennington County Wing,
who have fought more hard battles ritl
IN Tie last hcesty years than any o.he
in the State; and coming Is j, does fros
, their own camp will strike them wit
no little surprise. A shot in the rea
with vengeance.
As We have before said, we do nc
make these remarks with any design q
!, Prjudicing the claims Of either NJ
Miner or Mr.. Lyman. This we coul
not do. With Mr.. Miner, we hav
been on terms Of close intimacy an
. friendship from cur boy days. wi,
Mr.. Lyman We have had = pleasar
and somewhat familiar acquaintance e
many years. and we have no fears TIL
either Of these gentlemen will doul
the sincerity Of our course Of action
: the matter. W. helieve thst IL thev .
