Tue REpoRrs oFSENAroR Foor'S SPEC, II.
AS Waton's Jovr a h uks we did an in
Justice To tho rsr,rtNrs in our paragraph the
other day, concerning the reports of Senator
Foot's Montpelier speech, We will say that we
stated what we did because We wsre requested
so to do by Senator Foot, who did not wish il
understood by the readers of the speech that
the reports we're, what they PROPOSED to be,
accurate or complete ones, This was the rea-
son of our remarks, and not any disposition Of
our own TO intermedde in tho difficulty be-
ssn the Freeman and the Journal. While
therefore we must insist upon what we said rs
coming from the Senator, and a. matter of
Justice TO him we would at the same time say
what we did not mean to deny before, that
both the Montpelier dailies are entitled to
credit for their enterprise, and the reporters
for their meritnrious eudeavors, to place before
the public tho very valuable address of the
Senator IN the best shape they could under the
circumstances, it not being written out by him
and it being necessary therefore to take il
from the lips of tho speaker. We certainly
feel obliged for the report ourselves, az no
doubt all our readers do, who had not the
privilege of listening to its delivery.

Vermont Conservatism.

The Springfield Repub5ican in commenting
upon Senator Foot's recent speech at Mont
Her, makes the following complimentary re-
marks upon the present political course of
Vermont: ..
The conservatism that prevails in Vernon,
ia of the right sort. 1t supports the admins
tratlon energetically and Internationally in
the prosecution of the war, and it cares moth
ing for the interests of party or of political as
prants until the work of saving the nation is
completed. The Union of all parties for the
sake Of the Union has been successfully car
rled thro'mVermont,a and with the exception off
little fragment of Breckenridge democrats, too
insignificant to be counted, Vermont is polti-
cally unit. And the union is not nominal,
but real and heaty, and the Offices are given
indiscri minately to those who were formerly
republicans and democrats. The consequence
is that tho good people of Vermont are of one
heart in the support of thegovernment, and there
ia no opposition party, and no such miserable
scramble for the Offices as is now disgracing
other states. The same uuanimity might have
preva led IN all the states, if the office-holders
of the dominant party had exercised the same
magnanimity and generosity as those Of Vt. And
IN that state it ia to be remembered there were
no selfish motives to such union, because the
republicans were strong enough to hold the
state under any circumstances. But they
went INTO the no-party movement honestly and
from purely patriotic motives, and they have
their reward in the noble position taken by
the entire people of the state for the support of
the government.

RIGHT TO THE PoINr.-ln his erea,
speech at Glen's Falls, Hon. John K. Porter
always democrat, delegate to the Charles
ton Convention and a supporter of the lament
ed Douglas, thus speaks of the recent speech
of Horatio Seymour, and the position of Mr..
s. before the people
Like the earlier speech, it denouucss ooer-
cion, and urges compromise with treason. It's
tenor cannot perhaps be better illustrated,
than by surprising that highwayman de-
mands your purse, and threatens your life if
you refuse. You cover the bandit with your
revolver, and Governor Seymour who stands
by, calls out :--"Ko coercion! Don't shoot +!
The ball might hurt him. Avoid this sfratra-
cldal contest Adopt 'conciliatory policy
The subject of controversy demands com
PROMISE, Give him half your money, and
perhaps he may consent to give you the other
half" -
Gen. Dix immortalized himself by the patri-
otto order: "lf any man attempt to lower the
American flag, shoot him down on the spot.n
The moral of Gov. Seymour's speech is: aIf
any man attempts to lower the American far.
don't coerca him; cnociliate him. Compro iss
with him, you can, 10 let it hang at half
mast. Ii he will not even do that, re uember
he 10 proTokei and err ng brother--let
him alone-and shoot down an abolltonist.n

The WrNDER HABEAs CoRPus Cash.
the case ofWilliam H. Winder of Philadelphia,
who has been political prisoner in Fort War
rem for fourteen months, an attempt was made
on Wednesday afternoon to serve a writ of
habeas corpus issued by Judge Clifford, upon
Col Dimmiok, the commander of the Fort.
The Boston Trapeller gives the following ae-
count of the proceedings on the attempt to
serve the writ.
Wednesday afternoon Deputy Sheriff w.
II. Bayley, of Boston, with sufficient force
embarked on board small sailing vessel at
| our wharves, armed with the writ of habeas
corpus directed against Col. Dimmick, and set
| sail, with the view Of rescuing the prisoner,
VIM. Fl. Wilder, from the dungeons of Fort
Warren, and bringing him before Judge Clf-
ord, to the end that 1t might be shown wheth-
er he is or is not unjustly deprived of his lib
critics by the United States authorities.
After a prosperous voyage,the vessel arrived
off the wharf at Fort Warren. Immediately
everything was astlr at the gate. Several
platoons OF troops were paraded and marched
fearlessly out Of the gate of the fort, and took
up position at the foot of the wharf, Just
where the invader would have to land, if he
landed at all. Mr.. Bayley came close, but
was warned to keepof, He said he wished
to communicate with Col. Dimmick, that he
had an important message for him.
He was equally unsuccessful in an effort to
have any word sent to the Colonel, and find
ing further progress impossible; in the face of
superior forces, after another warning he turned
the prov of his vessel cityward,
This forenoon Deputy Sheriff Bayley re-
ported to Judge Clifford, of the L, S. Circuit
Court his unsuccessful attempt to serve the
writ. The Court remarked that it had no
force with which to enforce the writ, and Or
dered the papers to be placed on file. This is
probably the end of the case for the present
