To OUR PATRONS IN ORANGE CoUNTY.-It is
probably known to our subscribers in this Coun-
ty, that the aurora is printed at Windsor We
have never undertaken to conceal this fact, but
have been free to admit it to all. This arrange
ment subjects our subscribers in Orange County
to thirteen cents postage per annum.-W Windsor
Aurora.
We clip the above from the paper which last
week accused us of falsehood. 10 show that
the " Aurora makes statements not correct in
every particular, we give below an article which
the Aurora paid the Vermont Watchmaa
dollar for publishing about the first of last No
yember 1t is as follows:
"The Aurorr of the Valley and Orange Coun-
ty Journal are to be united and enlarged, and
the publication of the paper continued at Brad
ford and Newbury as heretofore.
He also requested us to publish it, and for
ward onr bill for the same Is this no attempt
to conceal the fact of its removal to Windsor?
" Continued at Bradford and Newbury, AS HERE
ToFoRE!''
When the agent of the " Aurora" tried to
induce our subscribers in Orange County to stop
the Freeman, printed at Montpelier, and take
the " aurora" printed at Windsor, by stating
to them that the I" Aurora" was published in
Orange County, and would come to them free
of postage" we deemed it our right and privi-
lege to inform the readers of the Freeman that
the " Aurora" had been removed to Windsor,
and was not printed in Orange County, but in
Windsor County, and therefore could not circu-
late in Orange County free of postage, no more
, than could the Freeman.
AT the time the " aurora - was removed,
we regretted that Orange County was left with
out Republican County organ, and hoped our
friends would see to it that the nef paper started
at Bradford, to support the Admit istration, was
not allowed to lead the people from the right
track, and also that they would all the Freeman
to more extended circulation in the County,
as means of counteracting the false teachings
of that Administration journal. We had re-
E moved paper from Orange County to Montpe-
lier, and added it to the Freeman, as had the
editor of the " Aurora' removed that paper
from Orange County to Windsor and added it
to the Windsor Journal, which he had purcha-
sed. We might still have retained the name of
the " Green Mountain Farmer to portion of
, our paper, and attempted to circulate them free
of postage in Orange County, as did the editor
of the Windsor Journal, by retaining the name
4
of the " Aurora;" but such means would be
neither honorable to an editor, his subscribers,
nor the Government, however much some may
, wish 10 cheat Uncle Sam But we had the same
: right to express our regrets that the Republicans
= were left without an organ, and ask the friends
j.. of the I" Farmer " and Freeman to honestly aid
us in extending our circulation as had the editor
Y of the Windsor Journal. The Freeman is at
o near the County as is the Journal, and while il
has as large list of subscribers, takes as much
interest in the welfare of the County as does the
: Journal, which paper is best, or the most inter
u esting to the people of Orange County, is fol
them to decide. We think the Windsor Journa
1t very good-looking sheet, and as well worth,
> the patronage of the people Of the State man,
+ others, and we wish its Editor "all manner o
n success " in all his honorable undertakings; bu
5 it is our duty to defend our interests and thos
of the organ of the old Liberty Guard from al
v inimical influences whatever
