Mr.. RedAeld and the Orleans County De.
mOcraOV.

The Montpelier Patriot having called in
question the accuracy of an article In The
Udichmdn, (which we copied week or
two sincc,) going 10 show that the Orleans
County Locolocos who know Mr.. Redfeld,
have no confidence in him, the Wdtchmdn
responds rs follows:
A fortnight ago we published a resolu
lion of an old line Iocoioco convention ia Or
leans CO.., understanding il TO be applicable
to 7. p. Rcdfeld, and so representing. The
resolution was in these words:
Resoired, That We disapprovc Of the
nomination made at Montpelier for Cow
ernor, on the ground that he lavors the OPP
prcssive license laws as hey stand, and nj
SO. proving himself untrue TO the old line
party at The first organization, by taking
himself ont of Ike nomination and claiming
himself belonging IN the opposite parry,
aud or this ground we withhold our votes
from his support"
The Editor cl the Patriot charges that
we punched out the words in May last"
in the second line, alter the words " Mont
pelier," and AYERS that these words point
the resolution 10 Mr.. Robinson instead Of
Mr., Redfeid" We deny the charge.
point blank. Il is entirely false and what
ia more, we suspect that the words " in May
last" were inlerpolated into the resolution
by the man, whoever he Is, who prepared
them for the Patriots Use. Or, 10 speak
plainly, we have o strong suspicion that
someb body has committed A FORGERY, for
the booilees purpose Of screening Mr. Red
field from the condemnation Of sunJry per-
sons in Orleans County, who were once his
political associates and friends. Suffice il
Tor The present 10 say, that the old line res
olutions of the County and Craitsbury Con-
ventions were published in the lrasburgh
Gazette, al the request Of old liners; and
for certain reasons they were published
las The Gazette said at The time) Meralty
We know The editors OF the Gazette too
well TO believe thar hey would change the
resolutions; and we venture to say, that
any man, Of any party, who is ihroughy
acquainted with John A. and Leonard Il.
Jameson, will ucquil them of my such sus-
picion. Now, then, we have only 10 say
that we copied The resolution exactly as il
was published in the Gazette l'y request Of
old liners. We "punched" no words out
of il, and none into il. As it stood, il APP
pcareJ evident 10 us That il pointed at I. p.
Redfeld; and so we said, and so we still
believe, since re hare other evidtnce, phich
tie Patriot cannot aoOii, IF the fact that Or
leans County old liners charge Mr.. Redfeid
,ciM double dediinc. Here il is:
From the Irasburgh Gazette Aug l6.
The following letter from an Old Line
Democrat is only in confirmation Of what
we published last week in regard to MIR.
RedfeId's course in this county in lS4S.

Mn EDiToR IL notice in the last Ga
zete, review Of Hon. limo p. Redfield's
course while running Tor Senator for this
County The writer might learn some facts
by applying to "a gentleman in this town,
TO whom Mr.. Redfe.d wrote al The time to
satisfy the Old Liners that he was a true
blue Democrat. IN one OF his letters he
says, am as good u Democrat as I erer
uds, and intend 10 support Democratic men
and measures This wac alter he had re-
ceived the nomination from the Free Soil
ers & the Old Linz folks becoming some.
what Jealous oi him, one oil them wrote
him on the subject, und received two an.
swers--and at the same lime he was under
written pledge 10 the Free Soil folks. II
is well known here that he got his election
by playing double game; but mind We,
he did not pull the wool over our eyes as
you may remember we throwed The whole
Democratic vote for another person.
An OLp LINE DEMocRAr.
Greensboro VT, August llih, 1851.
That is 10 the point, and we rather think
il is enough, without the Craltsbury reso
luton. Now, if the Patriot chooses, we
are perfectly willing 10 accept its amend
menf, albeit we don't believe one word oil it
ever was heard Of by the Convention which
adopted The resolution. Blu, let the Pa,ri-
oil take all the rope it wants we give ia ::
what then? Simply This : both Of the can
dldatcs OF the locoloco party are posted as
rogues by old liners of Orleuns Redfeld
by the specific charges of an az Old Line
Democrat of Greensboro, aodl Robinson by
the resolution of the old line Convention at
Craitsbury. This is"punching right and
leii," and with vengeance, into the bar
gain. We hope The Patriot is perfectly sat.
