Memo" and the FREQ Press.

At the beginning Of the session,
the Burlington Free Press, edited
by Prof. George W. Benedict, a mem
Der of the Senate, had Montpelier
correspondent, j." Nemo,' whose spe-
cial business was vilifcation and. lying.
The Hon. Professor, having denied all
completely with his correspondent,
would have satisfied everybody of his
sincerity by promptly correcting the
falsehoods which his paper had thus
been made the medium of circulating.
But we have never seen any inclina-
ton on his part to Go justice to any
one his columns have once abused.
We do not now refer to this matter
because we have personal ground for
complaint-though "Nemo' falsely
stated that We were again candidate
for Secretary Of State, when he must
have known better, or, ifhe did not,
had no right to speak on the subject
at all-but because the like misrcpre.
sensations are so numerous, and so
malicious as to require from others the
notice they ought to have received
from Mr.. Benedict himself, who knows,
or is culpable if he does not know,
their real character.
The pretended report of the debate
on the gas bill in the House, for in
stance, is false almost from beginning
to end. lie says DR.. Powers opposed
the bill, expressing lis preference for
the old way Of lighting with oil. Not
only is this untrue, but, in fact, the
representative fromWoodstock express
ly favored the use of gas, but desired
to lave the bill so guarded as to save
the treasury from the depredations Of
the gas corporation. In this he sues
ceeded.
"Nemo's' wholesale sneering at va
iious members of the editorial frater-
nifty, as candidates for Office, shows a
rery delicate sense of propriety, in
the writer. To make his work COM
Ilete and thorough, he should have
mentioned the Free Press editor HIM
self, in whose columns it was lately
proclaimed that Mr. Benedict would
be one of the most influential members
OF the Senate, Perhaps he is. lie
certainly has the advantage over other
Senators, in having daily newspaper
circulated in both IIouses-at his
control. The more dignifed part of
his electioneering, &C., goes under
the head of editorial correspondence:
the dirty work he shirks upon "Nemo."
