GREAT TIMES IL TIE JAKSENS :!
Thomas Bartlett, Ir., turned up.
1T will be recoected that sometime ago we
expressed good deal OF surprise at finding the
name Of Thomas BARTLETT, Jr., the Free Soil
Representative of the Third Congressional
District in Vermont, going the rounds of such
democratic papers as the b 1st0n Post, as a
member OF the " National Democratic Conn
mitee' at Washington, and very naturally en-
qured Of the Burlington Sentinel and WOOD
stock Spirit ofthe Age, both e national demo-
cratic" paper,, what it meant, and how this
hlr Thomas Bartlett Jr., who was elected as a
Buffalo Platform Free Soer, and voted for Mr..
Free Soil Redicd for Governor, last year,
came to be their committee on the Ma
tional Democratic Committee ?"
The Sentinel and the Age both copied our
article, and both repudated Mr.. Bartlett and
" all his works. in emphatic terms, and Mr..
Bartlett was fast getting into very general con-
tempt, when he finally repudated him self. in
an indiscreet and snappish letter which he
wrote 10 US from Washington for publication
That letter we published, ard it now stares us
in the face! In it, Dir. Bartlett charges US
with having done him "fngram iaJuStice," by
alleging that lie could be knowingly member
of the Old Line Locoioco National Committee
and takes occasion to defend himself, as he
says, against so LOUIS A
CHARGE, inroiring ing character as MAN
AND 4 GENTLEMAN"
MIR. Bartlett then proceeds to say, LIST that
he never attended any meetings ofthe demo
cratic National Commlttee;' 81, that he never
exchanged n word with any member of that
Committee upon any subject whatever" Sd,
that he had no knowledge Of their meetings or
"of their proceedings," and LIN that he noticed
the publication Of his name as one of their
number "much 10 my surprise but how 1t came
there | was then and AIN now entirely luuo-
rant 1--WE use his own words. lie adds
that his name was used "wi,hout his knowledre
"or consent and whoever thus used it The SUI
perfuously adds )"icted without authority so to
do" Mr.. Bartlett then, IN the concluding par
agraph of this remarkable cplsle, places him
self on record as follows -

After this superb spIurge of Free-sol lndly
nation, Mr.. Thomas Bartlett, Jr., tapcrs off BIZ
again a!ludm- to our "asperslons" of him.
(which 'asperslous' were that he seemed TO be
a member Of the Locofoco old-ne National
Connlttee) and requesting us, las gentle
man." to publish his letter which we damaged
hun by doing as an "anlidote" to the poi
son" we had scattered on his nnme-lwhicb
poison was that we had indirectly CHARGED
him with having deserted tho Van Buren, Butfa-

Now, dear Reader, where NEXT do Won
suppose Mr.. Thomus Bartlett, Jr., has "turned
up Since his "vlrluous Indignation" letter
