PRESS, FRIDAY MORNING, January 25, 1850.

"Mr Bartlett is an able and deservedly popular
lawyer, and gentleman In politics he is demo-
cra, with the least appreciabe tinge oil the modern
monsrocity, known as " free democracy" Ills cleo
ton is o clean triumph over and clean rebuke OF
faction that sought to make party differences test
III the convention. $500
"Messls. Noyes and Soughton are both old line
democrats "-BurIington Free Press.
The democracy held an informal meeting Friday
evening preceding the adjournment at which Mr.. |
Bartlett present If the editor of the Free Press
could have heard his remarks upon the article we
have quoted from his paper he would never again
we venture to say, attempt to SANDER Mr.. Bartlett
with his praise.
While the Free Press is excruatingly severe upon
the" faction that, as it says" sought to make party
differences a test i'll the convention, it very carefully
avoids stating the fact that Mr.. Noyes the Secrett-
ry, an old line democrat, was nominated and cor
daily supporedby that same faction ~. Pat
| riot.
We simply said that Mr. BARTLETT is a pop
ular lawyer and a gentleman. We should be
sorry TO believe that lie could have made any
remarks " in reference to our article" that
would preclude us from usiny the same lam
guage again. AT any rate, we fully and uncon-
dtionally consent that the Patriot may publish
precisely what Mr.. BARTLETT did say.
The Patriot makes drcadfuIy small attempt
to avoid the effect Of tie defeat of its caucus
ticket. 1t says that Mr.. Moves was the nomi-
nee of the Free Democracy" Exactly; but
let us look little further. Free Democracy
arrived in Montpelier with very large sense Of
It's potency and consequence, 1t had been in
formed by the Patriot that it had some fifty
majority" Of the members of the Convention
1t therefore waved fat and kickcd!' i
thought it waS somebody, and could have
things all its own way" 1t relied upon The
Patriot, because It foolishly thought the Pa'rio
knew a thing or two" So the Free Democ
racy got itself together, in ctt,,ts, and nomina
ted Leci b. Was for President. Now, say
RI Free Democracy, let us be mdgnanimouS am
v give the sold line" the Secretary. SO it nomi
6 mated Mr. MOVES OF I4amolle who holds it il
; the most undiSgused contempt! 1t nominate
e Mr.. NoyEs because Mr.. NoYE5 is an out-and
Y out i" old liner" who wouldn't trust Free De
is mocracy for Goldfish! 1t thought the I" oil
', line would be delighted with this sample
p iberaWy!
