Did he COMPREHEND it?

The Burlington Times is guilty of calling us
a {" flea " as follows:
" An insect editor, not far from Montpelier,
who, like the woman who fell under Fox 8 wit,
is always talking about ,uhat runs in his head,
inquiries if the Times got IL flea in his ear at
the State Convention. We suspect not. We
didn't enter that editor office while we were
there
Fearing that the General might be ignorant,
or not capable of compromising the magnitude
and Importance of that humble " insect" with
out definite description, we have diligently
searched for one, and have discovered the fol-
lowing which we take from Chambers Journal,
for his benefit:
"A FLEA UNDER MIcRosCoPE.-Whe hen flea
is made to appear as large as an elephant, we
can see all the wonderful parts of its formation.
and are astonished to find that it has a coat Of
armor much more complete than ever warrior
wore, and composed of strong polished plates,
fitted over each other, each plate covered like a
, tortoise-shell, and where they meet, hundreds
of small quilts project, like those on the back
of the porcupine or hedgehog. There are the
arched neck, the bright eyes, the transparent
cases piercers to puncture the skin, a sucker to
draw away the blood; six long jointed legs
four of which are folded on the breast, ali
ready at any moment to be thrown out with
tremendous force for that jump which bothers
one when they wish to catch him and at thu
end of each leg hooked claws, to enable him te
cling to whatever he lights upon. A flea car
leap a hundred times its own length, which i,
the same as if man jumped to the hight O
seven hundred feet and he can draw q loac
two hundred times his own weight"
Now, General, we advise you to beware O
further misusing us by making such representa-
tons to the public of our terrible ferocity,
and I" hideous nature" or we shall be Obliged
to COMPEL you to make few rapid jumps o
" seven hundred feet " each toward Texas.

Temperance Convention.

EDITOR FREEMAN In your issue of July
Goth, I find a call signed by the " Chairman OF
the County Temperance Committee" request
ing the attention of those favorable to the exc
cution of the Maine Law, to consult upon the
propriety of nominating Temperance County
Ticket, &c. Being member of that Commit
tee, and not having been consulted, and under
standing that some others have not been, in re-
gard to that call; being also a member of the
Republican County Committee, a few lines from
me may perhaps be deemed proper.
| understood the duty of the Temperance
Committee was to act in the March election of
the County Commissioner. | think at the
time of their appointment it was not under
stood that they were to call Conventions to re-
wise the action of the Republican Conventions,
or those of any other party for the fall cleo
tions. Such course, | consider would be
preudicial to the interests of the Republican
Party, and to the canse of Temperance hope
that the time has not arrived for Maine Law
men to commit political suicide by organizing
a separate party.
The idea of being SO ultra as to ostracise all
good fair Temperance men who are not, per-
haps, favorable to all the provisions of the
Maine Law, from any Office whatever, is, in my
humble opinion, wrong. 1t will work dsas-
trously to the cause of Temperance, and dis
tract and divide the Republican Party--a large
majority of whom ore in favor of a fair Tenn
perancc Law. 1t is to be hoped that all the
good men and true, who are opposed to Intern
perance, the extension of Slavery, and in favor
of the success of the Republican principles,
will attend the Convention, and direct the pro-
ceedings with a spirit of wisdom and modera-
ton. H. X. SLAYToN

More Conventions,

Party ties and party robes hang loosely upon
the shoulders of the free people of our country.
In this day of sudden changes there can be no
great or permanent organization. All is the
work OF moment; q sudden convusion-a
rush of many minds, like mighty waters, to the
accomplishment of the object, or the overthrow
of evil Old party organizations are brittle, and
are breaking up like the Polar sea in torrid
cline. What the result of this chaos will be,
no one can foretell. Something will work out
before 1860.
In the meanwhile, the States, Counties and
towns are the scenes of the operation. In the
lesser provinces the work is going on. Our own
State is even less affected, less convulsed than
many Others. Editors papers who undertake
to shape the chaotic mass, find but rebuff from
the people, who claim right to think for them
selves,-and that right is theirs while one who
takes no note of things as they pass-who sees
not their coming, is soon asleep, or out of the
political world.
These remarks were suggested upon receiving
the second installment of calls for Conventions
which have come to us the past week. The
Freeman is the especial organ of no party, but
the organ of all the news, and is independent
while its circulation is outstripping even our
own anticipations; and therefore it is naturally
the vehicle Of intelligence to the people, which
accounts for the number of calls in its columns
The first new call of the week is the one sent
out to receive signors for County Convention
and which was published in our paper two
weeks since. The call is signed by some three
hundred voters, and the Convention is to be helC
at Montpelier on the 9TH inst. The next is ad
dressed " to the friends of Freedom" and ap
pears to be a Garrisonian Abolition Convention
to be held at West Randolph, the last week o
this month. We learn from letter accompa
