The Whigs mover intended that the cleo
ton Of Judge Royce should be any thing
else than Hing victory. tl.) They have
used the Free Soil party Of Vermont to eff
feet their present purposes, and may, posi-
bly,, give some few of the leading men Of
that party small share Of the loaves and
fishes which will be at their disposal IN
few weeks, q )-hoping thereby to carry the
whole party, body and soul, boots and breech

is not n wbic uewspaper in the state which
has claimed the election Of Judoe Roycc as

(2.) 1t is undoubtedly true that Wings
piH be disposed to give share" of the of
fees to Free Soil men = we hope a full share,
and more than that, for selection of Wings,
for the Whig "share,n who are entirely sound
and reliable for Freedom-men, in Short who
will deserve the confidence of the friends of
Freedom Of all shades Of party opinion. Even
now we observe that the Wing" editors Of
the Rutland Herald and Brdttieboro' Eng le,
lbo,h Of whom are especially disliked by the
man Of the Standard propose to send Law
RENEE BRAisERD TO the q. S. Senate, for
the short term. We agree with them fully
in this appreciation of Lrwrence Brainerd 4:
but we don't like a departure from the old
rule of Sc lection of Senators. The long
term and the short term should both be filed
from the East side Of the mountains.
(3.) The idea that the Wings of Vernon,
are in favor of " John J. Crittenden, or some
other STAKEHOLDER, for the Presidency" is
worse than absurd. In Bedlamite 1t ,could
be ridiculous in Tom Powers it is both ri.
diculors and nischieyous Hc evidently
wishes to STIR up the jealousy of anti-slavery
men, and breed discord among those who
have generously and nobly co-operated in
the late election, in spite of their party pre-
JUDGES. We will only remind our readers
of two things. The first is, that in any
event john ]. CRITrEsDEN is not to be
thought Of. He is dead, politically, by hi'
own hand. The man who could volunteer tc
