Our neighbor OF the IH1fS, which came
on, the other day with bitter tirade against
the Administration, full of the same csrping
and scurrillous spirit that inspires the NeiO
Era and the copperhead Press, and which,
perhaps. really supposed that the people Of
Vermont in Mass Convention could be pre-
vented from expressing their approval Of Mr..
Lincoln and desire for his denomination,
thinks, or says. as of course it would. that
the State Convention last week was '' con-
trolled by the ofhce-holdtrs. As on fgur-
ing up. however. it can only make out that
one third of the Convention were Ofhce-hold-
ers. or friends Of Ofice-holders, We do no, see
how very bad case Of official dictation can
he made out.
The men who composed the committees,
made the motions and speeches. and conduct
cd the discussions of the Convention, were
(w,th rery few e1ceptions) ANYTHING but
fHce-holder--and to claim that the Conyeu-
ton was controlled BY ofhce-holders, is to IS
sert that the large number OF prominent cit
liens Of tine State. who were the controlling
minds Of the Convention, are themselves un-
der the thumb Of the Government officials.
The truth is-and the public understand it
that this talk about ofhce-holding influence,
!, simply the growing Of sore-besdcd a'pi-
rants for Office, who desire new scramble
for government patronage.
