.uessTs. Eiiiors Of the Free Press.
The remarks IN your Saturday
paper as to the acticn Of the nominating COM
mit;ee Of the District Convention at Hydepark
on the 10Th INST. lead me to think that you
have been either misinformed as to the action Of
that committee. or that you have bad no def
mite information as to its proceedings; for GER
tainly shall not assume that you irt'HiioHaHy
misstate, although your prejudice against Mr..
Baxter seems to put your usual eanior and fair
ness somewhat in danger.
DR.. ]. II. Hamilton, the Secretary Of the
Committee, has the original memoranda Of its
proceedings, but have made up the inclOsed
record from my notes, and although it may differ
in phraseOlOy from the Secre,ary's report. |
venture to affirm that it will he found saBstaa-
italy true in every respect.

faithfully ana eaTatly represent Vermont.

the Convention. Suppose thas by some
trickcry the members from any county had
been found 70 be composed Of known demo-
Gratis, would the Convention have been
bound to accep, thom2 or course not.
But sii members Of the nominating commit

and Of coursc hut six accepted by the Con-
ycntion.
In any ease the committee ceased TO exist
when the Convention adjourned slac die 1t
could not have done anything, properly, he
fore that; and in point Of feet, if VIC are
correctly Informed by most responsible gen
tlemen, It had not pretended to DO any busi-
ness, when the Convention adiJurneJ. What
twelve members Of the committee and SIX
other sell appointed members from Franklin
county, did after the Convention adjourned,
is OF not the slightest consequence.
There was, then, TO nomination, virtual
