Third Congressional District.

W. attended the mass meeting at Georgia on
the 10th, and found 1t 10 be, literally, a mass
melting. he large church was crowded Nth
the men and women of Franklin County; and
Chttenden and Grand Isle were represented
! Hon. w l.. Sowles presided addresses were de-
liyered by Messrs. Sabin of Georgia, Royce of
Berkshire. Hazen of Grand Isle, and Walton Of
Montpelier; and between the speeches glee-
club performed number of excellent songs -
This part Of the district gives an excellent re-
port. 1t is The home Of ALvAH SABIN and we
| find that those who know him best also love him
best. The vote of Georgia on the 7'h of Sep
TENDER viii attest that fact
Encourag ed, as we confess we are by the in
dica,ions of that meeting we hope for the cleo
ton of ALvzs SAsrS by a clear majority the
first ballot, If the Wings Of the whole district
do their whole duty. he field is ripe for the
harvest, and the Wings should step boldly in and
reap. ALvAH SABIN is known 10 be an able
man, perfectly sound on all the questions affect
ing the interests of Vermont his name is but
another Phrase for purity, integrity and honesty
At sixteen different elections ALvAH SABIN has
his town and county he never was defeated,
and his constituents never we're disappointed
Cast in the same mould GALUsHA, DIN and
JENSfsoN we regard him as the best specimen of
that class Of men now living IN the state. Like
them, ne possesses all the elements of popularl-
ty; and like them, # mis- frie DIS are but faithful,
he iOiH be honored and trusted by the people of
the district and the state, as he has long been
honored and trusted by the people of his town
and county. We have said " the field is ripe for
the harvest" The truth we believe is that, al
though the district has been against the Wings,
the people desire the triumph of Wing doctrines.
They are anti Siapsry in sentiment and they can
not but know that .4iuah Sabiu will honestly and
faithfully reflect ant-slayery sentiments when
ever the occasion demands it. They are for
Protective Tariff and have been held in check,
by the ocofocos, only on the plea that the loco
cotos tariff of loi6 is more protective than the
Wing Tariff of lc4l This humbug is now
stripped Of all disguise by the unequvocal de-
claration Of FRANKLiN Pierce himself that " he
beiieres THE PRINCIPLE OF PROTECTION TO BE
wRoNo" and by the open confession, of the or
gans Of Free Trade in Great Britain that their
synPath'es are enlisted for Pierce and the loco
foco party, as being most favorable 10 British in
terests As TO the public lands il cannot be that
intelligent Nemonters are opposed TO receiy-
ing the 100000 acres proposed to be given as
the share of NerYont, for educational purposes.
They cannot be unwise as to refuse that lega-
cy for their children and therefore we believe
they cannot sympathlze IN the declaration of the
locofoco platform, and the principle of the loco
toeo party, against an equal and Just distribution
Of the public lands, according TO the deeds of
cession. Beyond all this we believe the per ole
are honest, and ready TO discountenance political
dishonesty. SAsIN, they well know, adopts the
Wing principles on all these measures-has long
held them and doubtless ever will hold them
RowELL, they also know, has no fired principles
at all; Wing, a Liberty man, a Coationst.
Locofoco-he is just now trying TO run ON all
sorts of hobbies. We heard of him few DAVIS
ago at Riehmond-at one hour making a speech
IN fysesod convention, and at the next address,
ing an old line iooofoco contention! The infer
ence might be drawn that TO use a witticism of
the Burlington Free Press on another occasion,)
Rowell will go for Hale, pOte for Pierce, and
dodge old Cherubusco's Inauguration. The last
story we heard Of him was that he attended the
Pierce and King meeting at Hllsboro' perhaps
the next account will find him on Cancels HUM.
ratifylng Hale and Julian.
We are unwilling to believe that the freemen
oil the third district will SO far disgrace them
selves as 10 turn their backs upon ALyAH SABIs,
the honest, upright and really able man, and take
up with A. J. RowELL-a mere adventurer in
the field Of politics, and a mountebank at that.

Convention in Pittsburgh on the 10th OF Sep
