rerr0nSn
iou shall hear wnat the .Staiiiel has to say o
ms extraordinary proceeding in very PLAIN ana
distinct manner viz. that Mr.. Bartlett, the
Free-soll representative of the 4jh Congressional
District OF Vermont acted without the slightest
authority from the Democratic party, either by
election for that purpose, or by virtue Of menu
pership IN the party which be thus assumed 10
fePresent-hlr. Bartlett not having acted with
lhe democratic party OF Vermont since May lslA
he position and course of Mr. Bartlett since
mat date, Is correctly la down by the Free Press,
and the astonishment ofthe democrats of Yer
mont is not less profound than the very natural
surprise OF the Wings, and, we dare saw, of the
tfee-sollers also. II Is known IN this state that
Horace Clark Of Middietown, and David A,
omalley lsubsiltuiel are the National Democra-
nc Commillee for Nermont-thoueh unfortuna-
ely neither of them was able TO attend the meet
ng az Washington What il means" that Mr..
bafleu assumed To act without credentials, and
as lhe representative OF party to which he does
not belong, Is inexpllcable To ourself as to
lur nelghbor of the Free Press. We thank the
rec fress for taking notice of an act which,
|ihout explanation of It's irregular and unau
honzed character, might indeed warrant infer
noes uiiiavorabe TO the democratic cause, but
'hleh with the expose which the FREE Press has
ielped 10 make OF the atiir. will be as harmless
o the Democracy as the announcement was
uprising to men Of all parties in this State
