Il News, respecting The course Of The
"Bristol Pheuix,' in substituting the
\ name ol BJnjamln Mumfor1, The Maine
\ Law candidate ior General Treasurer.
for that Of lGs Whig nomincc. The
i Tribune acknowledges the justice Of The
\ rrhukc in Thai article, willie il very
coaraely r.marks t'ni The "inconsisien
\ cy' Of The Pbenix did not appear IN
\ nominating Mr.. Mumiord, man we'll
\ qualified lor General Treasurer, in
place Of one who did mol possess Gpy
iequh iie qualifications ior the Office.
II This is gnly most courteous and gen.
tIemauIy remark, and worthy The source
whence il came. We cannot expect,
MIR. Editor, to "gathcr grapes ol Tborns
or Figs OF This,es."
4 Tie Tribune further alleges that n
large majority Of The Whig Convention
was opposed 10 Mr.. vernon's nomina-
ton, which was finally made for the
purpose Of conciaiiug lew Of lie
members. Now, a Newspaper profess
Ing to be e engaged in Il great mo.al re-
iorr, in our mids, should not soil It's
columns with personal abuse OF an op-
| posing Candidate. Dut such piliablr
and vulgar anlmadversions on The abil

telligently The duties Of General Treasu-
rer can only be regarded by the UNDER
signed and BY all who know Mr.. Y. as
supremely ridicu!o !s and untrue. This

now alluje TO The other allegation which
lie has made. This knowing Editor
asserts, wi h IN nnblushing tenerity,
that Mr.. Vcrnon's nomination was per-
mlited, 10 please n lew ol the delegates
in Convention, when, a large majority
was n luaIly opposed TO him. We are
perfectly well assured and can vonch

made no application for the nom

being an Office seeker, rs are some OF

Mr.. V. employed no agent to urge his
claims before the Convention hu', on

pride 10 MIR. V. tina, he thus received,
from the last three Conventions OF the
Whig party, their unsolicited nomina-
ton for the responsible office OF Gener,
