Is viii bssss sny candid and Intelligent read
sr 70 aad il tss paragraph from the FREEMAN
which furnishes the text for this eonslderate
lssssrs, any warrant for the charge that the
FRIrAAH stated or insipua.sd that Mr.. Pc
land Of ms friends would resort to any trick Id
,hs nnpaigp. Oar language ought, one WOULD
suppose, 10 preclude utterly such supposl.ion
The Dsmscrsf,e party snd ths'r friends the
JeAassniss will not scrupls to resort to any
TREK 10 dsfsat Mr.. Morrill,, Or any other Repub
Rcsu whose record is ~ COED, and whose devo-
lion 70 Republican principles is a. unquession-
3D." are she words We wrote, and how" Wind
sor cas torture that language into an in.inua-
tion asain.t Mr.. Poland and his friends
passes our conprshension. We had n's Them
m mind when We wrote the paragraph, and the
undue selsisivsnsss Of "Windsor,' has led him,
wish much noIe ssal than judgmsnt,to rush in
and dsfead &" Mr.. Poland and his friends y
ssains, m attack which hsd no existence s1cep,
n his fancy. Certainly Judge Poland will de-
sire 70 - saved from the uawise actioC OF those
"frisnds who insist that ths FREEMAN shall say
nothing in this senatorial controversy against tn
Dsnscrsslc party and their friends the john
sonisss." Judge Poland does MT belong 20 the
Democratic party" nor 10 he q ''Johnsonlts,
vs hope +" Windsor il ready 10 admit, ana
when Windssr," in order 10 torture our Ian
guass into an assault upon Senator Poland, uts
hin in that classification, We can but think he
not only glariagy nisrspressats us. but puts
his candidate into false position. The FREE
NAE fred q shot ut the /" Democratic patty and
the J.hnaonites," and Windsor " comes up in
great haste, and asks tn stop firing in that
direction, as We are hitting :" Mr. Poland and
his friands.r Senator Poland, We suspect, viii.
suggest to Windsor that he has made a
blundsr.
We are obliged to Windsor for the hand
some things be says about our accomplish
ments and &" ability" but unless he has more
reason for his Complimentary words than for
his huIs-Anding We mast conclude that We dom;
deserve them. And perhaps We may a. we'll
suggest here to Windsor" and that class of
sensitive and saPsious writers, that in this Sen
atorial controversy We have not made, and shal
not make any disguise Of our preference for
Mr.. Morrill, az Senator. We consider him the
best man On the East side Of the Mountain to
represent Vermont in the United States Senate,
record and principles, his influence, or his abili-
" and ltnsss for tns position. And We shall
urge thAa Mr.. Morrill, il also preferable to any
Dsnscfat OF Johnssnise, if any such person
ANAL appear a. a candidate, which We trusr
