A LeeoSees Circular % the FaifhfHi IN
GnlIfa eounfy.


GaIIIa county.
The following is a correct copy oil
circular scattered among the Lo-
cofocos Of our county just previous 10
the election. The one before US was
sent to a certain good Locofoco
in the lower part of the county
That part of the circular which fol-
lows the names Of the COMMITTEES is
in writing while the balance is
printed.
One word as to the charge that
the Wings had circulated reports as
stated under first and second. No
charges of this kind were circulated
by Wings; it is a mere Loccfoco trick.
The charge of Abolitionism first aP-
peared in this circular together with
the contradiction. We do not ac-
cuse the young men whose names
appear as a Central c Committee-they
are merely put forward TO be used,
and 10 screen those whose wilful and
corrupt lies, Just beforc the election,
dates back to a time when these
young men were puking in their
nurses arms.
If the proof OF Bundy's and Cher.
rington's abolitionism YVES so easy
to be obtained, why was this circu-
lar only to be circulated on the morn
ing OF the electionl The truth is
that this charge is false and those
who circulated if knew it was. But
here is the document.
Circular.
As some Of the leading Wings Of
this county have been active in cir
culating certain false reports con-
corning our candidates for office, it
becomes our duty, as the Democratic
Central Committee, by their authori-
ty, 10 deny and rectify the same.
First-It is reported that Hiram
G. Daniel voted for and supported
Martin Van Buren at the elected Of
lS4S.
Second-It is reported that E. A.
Jackson is an AboIitionist.
We are authorized TO state, by
these gentlemen, that the above re-
ports are totally ialse.-Mr. Daniel
voted for Lewis Cass; and Mr.. L. A.
Jackson always has been most Bit
ter enemy to Abolitionism in all its
forms.
Furthermore, we say, and stand
prepared 10 prove, by their own
words and actions, that Cherrington
and Bundy are both strenuous advo-
Gates of the Abolition doctrine, and
that they are ready to favor and
maintain the same il they are elected
ttllS idlls
Democrats be on your guard
False reports are being circulated, to
the injury of our glorious and tri-
umphant cause, therefore turn out,
one and all. and if convenient, 60 in
the morning, so that you may see to
the absentees before evening.

Affairs at Washington,

Cabinet changes have been all the talk, in
certain quarters, for several weeks past. As
We have little faith in these rumors, we have
given them but little attention. They come
from the enemies of the administration a.
yowcdly-or else from those worst Of enc
mics, who profess 10 be Wings, and yet who
owe Il grudge to some members Of the Cal.
met. who have refused them Office. Such,
at least, is our opinion. The Opposition no
doubt would be glad to bring about a change,
and disappointed Wings there may be, who
would have brighter hopes with other dis
pcnsers of patronage. But all the efforts Of
these two classes will avail little with the
President, and lac is, we presume, very well
satisfied with his men. The at,emptto charge
Improper conduct on MIR. Crawford, Mr.
johnson, or Mr.. Meredith, will very likely
prove an entire failure. although the invcsti-
cation is under the control Of their political
opponents.

cress. and to create disailection towards
those " leaders" by calling on the people 10
rally in support of Gen. Taylor. In all
their praise of the course and policy of the
President, thus far, we heartily concur. That
= -, H..
part Of some Of the older politicians, is prob
ably true. Certainly it is not unnatural. But
what possible good purpose can it serve 10
stimulate this feeling, and arouse it TO posi-
tive opposition? We desire 10 see no more
of it. 1t is high time that the Wing party
learnt at least this measure of wisdom-to
know how TO endure prosperity, without that
blind faulty that ncutralizcs all the benefits
Of success and splits the party into frag-
msnts. The country is indeed in a great and
important crisis, and different opinions may
well exist among the different portions Of

Death Of Hon. Daniel Chipman.

1t becomes our melancholy duty to record
the death Of Hon. DANIEL CuIrMAN-for
many years a resident OF our village, and
one of the oldest and most distinguished citi-
zeus of this State. lie died IL; his residence
in Il. pton, on the afternoon of Tuesday, the
23i inst, at the age Of So years. For sew
eral weeks previous 10 his death, he had been
PROSTATE with a disease OF the lungs-hav-
ing returned from the Constitutional Cons
v%entlon, at Montpelier, in January last,-to
which he was a delegate,-wiIh impaired
health, and continuing to decline until the
fatal termination Of his sickness.
Mr.. CnIrMAN was one Of the ablest law
ycrs our State has ever. produced, and en-
joyed a high reputation as a legal writer
particularly as the author Of a well-known
work on Contracts, which received the APP
probation and praise Of our most eminent
jurisis. lie was a graduate Of Dartmouth
College, and afterwards studied law with his
older brother, Hon. Nathaniel Chapman, at
Rutland, where he praclised his profession a
short time, before he settled at this place.
lie was elected a Member of Congress in
1914, and served in that capacity until 1917.
The knowledge which Mr.. CHIrMAN pos
sessed Of the early affairs of this State was
minute and extensive and those who have
had She pleasure of his Acquaintance, will
rot soon forget his entertaining conversations
on those topics-embracing much Interesting
information nowhere presei we'd, or at least
only partially, in his Life Of Nathaniel Chip
man, and in the interesting biographies of
Warner and Chiltenden, the composition of
which were among the last efforts of his
l~ife-unlcss, indeed, there may be some
further records among his posihumous pa
pers, of which VIC have now no inlimaiion.
His memory WAS wonderfully rctentive. and
all his intellectual powers unusually vigor-
Gus, TO the very last. The lively humo,
which distinguished his conversations, Lis
acute discrimination of character, his ana
lytical insight, and his sound judgment, even
ut the advanced age when we first knew him,
have left a strong impression on our mind,
which viii lot soon be efiaced. lie was a
man Of rare powers, and his memory will
long remain among the people Of Western
Vermont. as that Of ono who has reflected
high honor upon our State, and whose ser
vices have been eminent and abiding.
Ills remains were brought to this place
for barial, on Thursday, and followed ia
