The Hyde Park Convention.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonida thus
concludes an article on our Congress
sional difficulties:
We place at the head of our col
ums to-day the name of Romeo H.
Hoyt of st. Adams, as the best candi-
date of the two for the sufl'rages of the
freemen of the Bird congressional dis
trict
There are many reasons why there
should be change in the member
from that district Mr.. Baxter has
been elected to the Office he now holds
three terms. His opposers claim that
he has prostituted his high position to
selfish ends; and of this there is not a
shadow of doubt. Good men stood
up in the convention at Hyde Park
and offered to prove the charges
brought against him, but were hooted
down by Mr.. Bakers friends.
Under the circumstances, the re-
publicans of the third district can have
no question as to who deserves their
support, but will give their influence
and votes to elect Hon. Romeo IL.
Hoyt of st. Adams.

Shameful SANDER.

On Monday evening, Aug 18th, the
Messenger contained the following
precious paragraph
Who are Judge Hoyt's friends
If st. Adams is to be taken as fair
sample of the district, Fallstaff's des-
cription of his ragged regiment is not
whit more ludicrous than would be
truthful portraiture of his followers
That there are many honest, noble and
bighminded men is, no doubt true,
but is it not equally true that the
great majority are n nondescript mass
which in morality and principle are no
mean parody on the corpulent knights
pitiful rascals?'"
To this shameful SANDER, which
must excite the contempt of every one
who reads it, we do not intend to
make reply. Many of the ragged
regiment who follow Judge Hoyt's
lead in this campaign, and many of
the "nondescript mass -" and "pitful
rascals, the Messenger talks SO glibly
about are its patrons and the print
ing of such scurrility and abuse, of
large majority of the business men
and farming community of st. Adams,
will only return to the Messenger Of

not yet The effect of the publication
of such ISLANDERS is to open the eyes of
the people. They were opened at
Hyde Park, and have been kept open
ever since. The people in this county
have been imposed upon, dictated to,
and slandered quite long enough.

The Congressman Discussion.
EDITOR TRANscRIpr-

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT
Dear Sir: Having read several arti-
cles i'll the papers of this district,
wherein numerous reasons are given
with a cogency uncontrovertible, why
Portus Baxter should not be candi-
date at the approaching election, / beg
leave to augment the list by saying
that in no shape whatever can any
possible reason be given why he should
be elected, not even if he pledges him
self to bring about the millennium by
an act of Congress, or enters into a
contract with the moon to shine three
hundred and sixty-four nights in the
year over the north end of the park,
for if he voluntarily presented himself
as candidate for the fourth term,
such an example of objectionable sell
fishness should be frowned down by
every decent citizen of the State; while
if he permitted himself to be a candi-
date at the solicitation of friends or
demagogues, thus tacitly advertising
to the world that he is mere lump Of
clay in the hands of the political pot
ters, to be moulded into any shape to
please the fancy of the iron oligarchy
then he is fully as much entitled to a
cast overheard. The very fact that a
gang OF sycophants to the iron hand
attempted to buy off Hoyt nd.pour out
Baxter from the political teapot into
the angry waters of discord, and unite
upon some other tool more modern
and suited to their taste, would tend
to demonstrate to every rejecting
mind that Bakers myrmidons. are
now satisfied that people of sense and
integrity will not submit to such man
being thrust upon them by a few of
fice-seekers; for the time has come for
us to be represented at the National
Capitol by men of marked ability; by
men. who are not bought and sold; by
men who will not act as political
weather-cocks for cliques and clans,
for base and filthy lucre; to use more
emphatic language, by men like p.
Baxter, who will act for the elevation

Information Given.

Under the head of Information
wanted, the Messenger of Friday pub
fishes a leading article in which it tells
its readers that General Stannard
Judge Hoyt, Mr.. Mott of Alburgh
and others, met Mr.. Spalding of the
] Boston Post, at the Weldon House,
Thursday evening, where a caucus was
had in reference to political matters.
The statement is no more or less than
shameful .fdisehood; no such caucus
,caS had We were not at all surprised
to see the statement in the Messenger,
however, for for the last few weeks its
columns have abodnded in misState-
neatS. We think Mr.. Spalding ought
to be allowed to visit ST. Adams on
business, connected with the Post,
without thus being dragged into
print.
So far as the interview between
General Stannard and others, and Mr..
lsSpalding is concerned, we have this to
say: Wewcre present at the interview,
and the only interview between the
gentlemen named, and that while poll
ties were generally discussed there
was nothing said to compromise the
political honor of any present, or any
thing having reference to the political
contest in this District 1t was mere
ly a friendly accidental meeting, of a
similar character to that which occur
red between the local editor of our
mistating contemporary, and his asso-
ciates, and Mr.. Spalding, at an earlier
hour of the day. We may say, if it
be worth saying, that the principal
theme of discussion in the caucus" to
which the Messenger almdes, was the
Northern Pacific Railroad, which Mr..
Spalding enthusiastically advocates.
There are other statments in the ar
ticle which are equally groundless and
false. We know nothing about a
meeting in reference to our County
ticket being held in st. Adams on
Wednesday. If there was such a
meeting it was held without our
knowledge or approval.

OF the wealthy few, to the detriment
OF the many.
Such is not Romeo H. Hoyt. He
cannot be bought He cannot be
swayed to aud fro at either extreme
His motto is for my whole party and
my whole country and the brainless
pimps of Baxter, Irohs& GA know that
if Hoyt gains the election, down goes

The editor of a sheet published in our

two reasons why Baxter should Nbe
elected-viz That he and wife We're
kind to the soldiers, and that Me at
tended church at the Congregational
House in the forenoon.N / grant that
for third rate political panderer it
was worthy of commentator. In re-
gard to the first, he did n6more than
any other man or woman from the
State of Vermont would have done I'M
der the circumstances, | could name
hundreds of women in st. Adams, who
have been as devoted to the unfortu-
nate as the wife OF Mr.. b. | should
be ashamed of my native town if q
single one would have refused to have
done so and he himself knew he
would be kicked ont of the State if he
had not done what it was his duty to
perform. For this he has been re-
warded by the election for the third
term. We do not want nurses there
now, we want our best men men who
are capable of pronouncing an eulogy
upon the death of our Senators,
which he has never done. Above all,
we want men above reproach And in
regard to the latter reason advanced
by the Messenger concerning his at
tendance at church, should Judge
that Congressman were not accus-
toned to attend church. X. A.

Geo. N. Dale on Mr.. Baxter.
(From the Burlington Free Press. J

At meeting held at Hyde Park af-
ter the close of the Convention, Geo.
N. Dale, Esq, formerly States Attor-
ney of Essex County, and subsequent
ly Deputy Collector of Customs at Is
land Pond, made short speech, in
the course of which he explained why
he resigned that profitable Govern
ment office. His reasons were in sub
stance, as we understood them, that
the corrupt transactions going on un-
der the rule of Baxter, Clapp g. Co., and
coming to his knowledge. were becom-
ing too numerous and gross to be coun-
tenanced by any man and retain dc
cent self-respect. He must wink at
them or leave, and he preferred to
leave. Mr.. Dale mentioned two cases.
One was where a somewhat in huen-
tial democrat, we'll known in this
county, whose opposition Mr.. Baxter
feared in the canvass for his last re-
nomination, was promised an Office by
Mr.. Baxter, in writing, if he would
remain silent. He waited while for
his appointment but it did not come.
He then telegraphed Mr.. Baxter, ask
ing: Chow about the appointment ?
l wish to know at once that l may
govern myself accordingly" This
threat brought the Congressman to
his milk. Mr.. Baxter replied by tele-
graph: "The Office is your" the
appointment THAT of paymaster in the
army was made.
Mr.. Dale stated that at another
time an applicant for an office, whose
appointment hung fire, put one hun
dred dollars into an envelope, which
he handed to Mr.. Dale to hand to Mr..
Baxter, and he did So Did Mr.. Bax-
ter, as some worthy friends OF his may
suppose, at once and Indignantly
spurn the bride? Not at all He took
it counted the money, and turning to
Mr.. Dale with smile, asked: "Shau
/ take it ?" "You know your own bust
ness, was the reply, and Mr.. Baxter's
rejoinder was, Il guess you had better
hand it to Clapp." Mr.. ID. accordingly
took it to Mr.. Clapp, who pocketed it
without scrnple-and the applicant re-
ceived his Office. these matters"
added Mr.. Dale, significantly. "were

Soldiers and Sailors Convention.

A lengthy call has been issued to
the soldiers and sailors who served
in the army and navy of the United
States, and who approve of the resto-
ration policy of the President, and the
principles announced by the Philadel-
phia Convention, "to assemble at
Cleveland on the 18th day of Septem-
Der next, for consultation on the mo-
mentous issues now CONFUSING our
country" The address has, Of course,
considerable to say concerning the ac-
ton of Congress which is all wrong ;
and that of the President all right. =
1t concludes as follows
When the restoration OF the Union
and the preservation of our form of
government are in issue, however much
we regret to sever cherished political
associations and to cooperate with
former enemies, we must prefer to act
with those who have been wrong and
are now right, rather than with those
who were right and now are wrong
Believing that our government is again
in peril, we appeal to you who have
fought to save it, and who hold it dear
er and more sacred than all party ties,
to come to the rescue. Let the SOL
diers and sailors agreeing with us in
sentiment, but who cannot in person
attend, send delegates through the ac-
ton of their secretary or of local con-
ventions. Let US meet in force at
Cleveland on the 18th of September,
the anniversary of the day when the
Constitution was proclaimed by our
forefathers, and let us aid in restoring
the Union it created and the liberties
it was ordained to secure.
The call is signed by Gems. Custar,
McCook, Rousseau, Meredith, Ewing,
Dix, Stedman, Blair, Granger, and
many Others. The names of Gems.
Grant, Sherman, and Phil Sheridan,
The Generals of the War, do not APP

at length to this Convention.
