Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1854-09-01


The editor of the Waterman boasts that
he made out, at the American House in Bos-
ton. aud sent up TO his tools here, the ticker
that was nominated on the 9Th of August
The ticket, any man can sec, was combined
with special reference TO his electlon.--Pat
riot.
The editor of the Waterman never mab
such boast-neyer sent up tlcket-and #
course never entertained thought as to
his election in connection with a tickei
which exists only IN the Imagination Of c.
G.. Eastman. We will tell the Major what
we did do. A list Of some twenty or thirty
names, suggested by Wings, Democrats and
Free Democrats, and composed of persons
Of all parties, all of whom were deemed
good candidates, was carried by oursef to
Boston by mistake, and we sent 1t back TO
be handed over TO the committee on noina-
tons. The list comprized Wings, Demo
crais and Free Democrals-sll of whom
were supposed to be in favor OF co operating
for Freedom, and against the present Ad-
mlnistration and lis doughiaced supporters.
We wish we could print the list entire, but
DC wa cannot we viii Quo sn~e namoo that
we remember, 10 wit; LEONARD KEIrH, r..
r. KrITH, HosAcE lioLIsrER, LEWIS
CHAMBERLIN, q. II. SMIrB, AzEL SPALp-
ING, JoHN GREGORY, JANIS GREEN. G. W.
WILLARD, CHARLES LYMAN, ABELK. WAR
Rem, Dos p. CARPfNTER, +. f. MERRILL,
JONI SPALDING and more of the same sort.
Such was the list furnished US. Now if It
was not proper to return such list, to he
considered by the Convention, we suppose
that in the judgment of the Patriot, thJse
men were unfit 10 be considered. We Sub
mt that point To those who know the mtn.
Now we beg leave to suggest that the df-
ferences between the editor of the Patriot
and ourself are Just these; Ne did not At
tend the Convention of August 9TH, because
we could not /: he did not attend the dem.-
cratic and WIN. =. Briggs Convention, be-
cause he Lcouh not. Ne sent a list of names
for the committee of the 9th of August to
consider he got into committee of a conycn-
ton which he dared not attend, (pertaps
fearing the guillotine at Washlngton,) and
helped 10 make The tiokei. We support the Sd
of August ticket in good faith to the Rus
land Platform, as comprised Of reliable and
honorable men, who will cooperate with tin
friends of Freedom and the opponents oftle
present slavocratic administration he SUI
ports a speckled ticket, consisting of profs-
sed freesolers who compromise their free
scillsm by cooperating with dough faces,
and Of democrats who compromise their le-
mocracy by protesting to be opposed TO the
distinctive measure of the Administrator
the Nebraska bill. Ne go for Freedom aid
against the extension of Slavery, as genuine
Wing doctrine, taught by Clay, and Web
ster, and Adams-as genuine Democratic
doctrine, taught by Jefferson, Madison, and
Macon-as genuine Republican doctrire,
inculeated by the Patriots of l776, by WaA-
ington, by the trainers of the Ordinance Of
81, and the authors of the Fedral ConstAu-
ton he goes for Pierce, Douglas, and he
post-office, freedom or no freedom. We are
ready TO submit this issue fairly to the PEG
pie; he, we are inclined to think, fears thai
above all things.
