! BURLINGToN.-Ata town caucus, called on
the /" Union - plan at Burlington Friday, CAL
vim Blodgett, Esq. was put in nomination as can
didate for town Representative. CARoLus MOVES,
Esq, the very able Representative from that
town last year, received l27 votes out of 27S
votes cast. 1t is mono of our business, but we
confess that we cannot see how either the town
of Burlington, the State OF Vermont, the Uni
ted States Government, or the vigorous plosecu
tion of the War can be better served by Mr..
Blodgett than by Mr.. Noyes. The latter gen
tleman was last fall and at the extra session one
of the most prominent AMI able men in the
House, and then and since has freely given his
strength to the defense of the Government against
traitors. His only fault in the " Union -
view that we can possibly imagine is that he
was good Republican. The nomination will
hardly harmonic the voters of Burlington.

day, Sept Sd, and we regret that the strngency
of the money market, and the necessities of a
daily paper will prevent our beng present. We
congratulate the Colonel, we congratulate Miss
Barrett, We congratulate the friends of both
parties. " 1t is not good that the man should
be alone" is old, but it is true as the Bible,
nevertheless. Colonel, we say to you confdcn-

filling Scripture. You are serving your Coun-

GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN, AUGUST 81, le6l
DECLINED We are happy to learn that Hon.

| DECLINED -Wo are happy to learn that Hon.
Andrew Tracy, of whom we made mention last
week was nominated for Governor, by the
Convention at Montpelier, without his knowl'
edge or consent, and further that he declines
the nominatio We are also glad to learn
that he is hearty in bis support Of the Govern
ment in putting down the rebellion OF traitors
This is good news, and leaves Mr.. Hoibronk as
the only regular candidate in the field. There
will, Of course, be votes sent out for other can
didates, but they will be the representatives OF
some individuals or chques, Indeed, it Is prob
able that Mr. Tracy himself will receive most
of the scattering votes, as there is not time Tor
his decination to become generally known
throughout the State.-B. f. Times.
This leaves Mr. H)lbrook and B. II. Sm2lley
(seeessionisi) as the only candidates in thelield
Patriots, give Mr.. Ilo!brook, and the ticket he
heads, your votes, and show that Vermont is GO
near q unit in this war; that the fraction is not
of consequence enough to be taken into account.
Holbrook, Underwood and Page constitute the
only ticket that is pledged to the Government
and the war. Give them rousing majority.

REcRUrTNo.-H. A. PUrNAx, whom we men,
toned some days ago as assistant recruiting Of.
hcer with an office at Plainfeld, has received a
commission from Gov. Fairbanks as recruiting
othcer' with authority to take charge of the
men who had enlisted at Barre under DR.. Tenn
pleton, the latter gentleman having given up
his papers. Mr., PUTNAM has already enlisted
over hfty men, and will doubtless soon fill IN
his company,

UNUsUAL.-Just before the Mortified Com
pany of three months volunteers left for the
war, q purse of several hundred dollars was
made up and given to Capt Boynton to be used
as the necessities of the Company might require.
A gentleman who happened to be at Mortified
at the time handed Capt. B. ten dollar bill
toward this fund. The other day the same gem
tleman happening again at Mortified, Capt.
boynton returned to him the ten dollars, saying
that it had not been needed, and should come
back to the original owner. This is certainly
an exhibition Of the strictest integrity.

more than enough for one company have al

HE NORTH STAR is the only paper in the
State that supports the ticket put in nomination
here on the 2lst inst. The Patriot run up the
same ticket, but it proved too much for that pa

STAR will survive, however, and we think it
will. We should be sorry to have it share the
fate of the most of the ticket.
