Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1866-07-26

and here affirm that the present out
spoken course OF the HERALD upon the
great National questions OF the day re-
wives the time. honored associations con-
nected with its name, and stirs up in my |
heart the strongest desire for its contin-
ued and increasing prosperity. To re-
turn to the Senatorial question; am
happy to say. that information volunta-
rily furnished me by prominent men
from various parts of the county, sat
isles me that there is an unprecedented
degree of unanimity, on the part OF the
Republicans in favor of Mr.. Morrill, for
the Senate, and this after the expiration
of three of the six weeks, that were to
annihilate his prospects. 1t now re-
mains TO be seen whether the remaining
three weeks can be SO used as TO over
slaugh the deliberately formed opinions
and wishes OF the people of this County
and State. These opinions were not
lightly formed lin the heat of the Sena-
torial controversy but have grown with
Mr.. Morrill's growing reputation and
increasing usefulness in the councils OF
the Nation, from his first term in Con-
gress until now. They look upon his
fame as part of their inheritance, and
his detractors in this State may join
hands with the British Free Trade party
from without, in endeavors to crush out
the ablest champion and defender of the
industrial interests Of our State and Ma
ton with no other result, am confident,
than to rally the people more closely
around him for his defense. They know
that amongst the many eminent names
our beloved State has furnished the Ma
tional councils, no one has attained a
loftier eminence, no one has come
nearer the standard, first in the hearts
of the people, as the honored and favor
lite son of Vermont, than the name Of
Justin S. Morrill,.
Now q few words In reference to the
four column article" in the HERALD
of the 10th inst, over the signature I'D. y
1t was very prettily written, evidently
by lawyer, who need not have hest
tated to give his full name. That arti-
Gle was written to prove the Senate a
judicial body, consequently, none other
than lawyer should be elected to the
Office of Senator, and in this connection
the loved and honored name of the late
! Senator Foot was dragged in to give
weight to the argument, when it is well
known that Mr.. Foot was deeply anX-
ious that Mr.. Morrill, should be the sue
cessor of Judge Collamer in the Senate
He knew that Mr.. Morrill, had attained
! the highest honors in the House and
that he was eminently fitted by his ca
pacity and large experience to adorn the
Senate. Did not Mr.. Foot know The
rule in Vermont heretofore has been, tC
send lawyers only to the Senate, anc
does not the article referred to, eVince 6
natural fear that the election of one tC
the Senate, of the eminent capacity o
Mr.. Morrill,, will show the people, tina
there are men outside of the "profes
sion" entirely capable Of filling The
! highest positions of honor or trust
within their gift, and who does no
know, that Mr.. Morrill, in the new spher

will add new honors to his name anC
State; and in the Senate, as he has il
the House, show himself the peer Of thu
wisest and noblest that adorn it's halls
Mr.. Morrill, has by long years Of unre
hitting industry, won the highest hon
ors in the House, and is it not lauda
BILE ambition to aspire to new spher
in which to win new hOnors
The loss Of the Tariff bill in the Sen
ate, only last week, shows the need Of hi
eminent capacity in that sphere T.
which | trust the people will call him
In this there can be no injustice to Judg
Poland, who we'll knew when he accept
ed the appointment from the Governo
that Mr.. Morrill, would be his competi
tor for the position. "Thus it becomes
simple question, which Of the two car
didates is best fitted, by natural abilit
and experience to fill the position of Ser
ator. On this naked issue, the friends {
, Mr.. Morrill, do not fear the result"
