How comes it, that Mr.. CLARK wont do, and

Judge Kutredge wiH do without it We
cannot help the Standard out of the slough
of absurdty, in which it is making such
flourish 1t uould jump in. Its friends
could not prevent it, 1t is welcome to stay
there as long as it likes, and to crawl out
when it is satisfied
So far as Mr.. Kittredge is concerned, till
it appears that he dllows his name to be 20
used, We have nothing to say. No one can
suppose that the Standard expects to have
him elected Governor. We do not suppose
it even expects to defeat the election Of
Judge Royce by the people, but it can show
its wilful disposition, if no more. 1t may
find some to vote for Kittredge instead of
Royce, if it can keep kittredges name up,
and 50 far, it may lessen the loud voice in
which Vermont intends to speak against the
dishonest conduct of the Pierce Adninistra-
ton and the dangerous influences the slave
holding power Of the country, butit can do
no more. That chestnut is very mall one,
and mouldy besides. Mr.. Kittr'dgc will
hardly thank the .Hand1rd for using him to
| pick 1t out of the fire with.
The Sanddrd, so far as We set, puts the
entire press Of Vermont, ,tscT excepted, in the
same condemnation, though it pile, Its wrath
rather higher on some than on oth'rs. If it
grants to any one. secular or religious, that

cause. it has escaped our notice. Except so
far as the course, which it takes, works an
| injury to all good influences in the State, we
suppose that others care just as little about
its wholesale charges of 'scrvility,' "truck-
ling d" lodging" wirc-pullin5," " bar
gaining and selling, " cheating jug
! Cling" &c as We do. Certainly we do not
care straw for it. That is the Nando,d' s
thunder, and it is welcome to use it,
But we have IA few words to say IN another
point The bitterness with whlth it keeps
up an attack upon huge Royc and the
"suckins dove tones in which t expresses
its want of entire satisfaction with the posi-
ton of Ur. Cdrk, the democratic nominee
for Governor lis remarkable, to say the least

reason it has been favored with sngularly

driving at the same cnd-yiz, to weaken the

of being, as he is, well known for life Of

capacity, has served the State with homr for
best the part of his life, he could not hava been
attacked with moro apparent malgnit, than
the Nondard hrs shown towards him.
Cunning, adroItncss, artful lodging and a
host of like qualities have been impu;cd to
him. The direct charge of an unworthy in

say, have been frequent in its mouth and the
snccr as frequent on its lip. Why tn, for

The Standard greatly prefers the language
of Hon. NJ, Clark, on the subject OF tn, tenn
peranee law, to that of Judge Royce on the
same subject. Why, it does not clearly ex-
plain. Wa have not quarrelled with the
purport of Mr. Clnrk's language We are
willing to give it a generous Interpretation,
but if regard be had to the practical bcay,n o
of the language used by the two candidates.
we say, in defnteness of meaning, Judge
Royce far out goes his competitor and it
is well to remember that the prdct,cal bearin .
OF the languagc-as to what IS to be, OF oupb,
to be done, by the legislature, on the subject of
the liquor law of this State, is the only thing
worth regarding in the ease.
Mr. Clark, however, the .N0adoyR has lit
tie to say about. It is not quite satisfied TO
be sure, and sets up candidate for those who
cannot vote for either. although the only cE
feet which it can anticipate, according to all
experience, will be to lessen the vote for Judge
Royce considerably, perhaps, but that of Mr.
Clark, not at all.
