ISIT A SLANDER

The main original charge against Portus
Baxter. az it appeared in the FREE Press
Il month ago. was tina: according to the
assertion Of responsible gentlemen, Offices
"had been disposed of for personal and
pccuuiary gain of those who have had
chief control Of government appointments
in the district, and that contributions upon
fle salaries Of subordinate officials hare been
ierled an The name of Mr.. Barfer and paid
for his use and benefit" Was this SLAM
der, invented in the Free Press Office and
published from yindictise motives? There
are those who would have the public 50
believe We ask fair minded men to look
at all the circumstances and draw
an honest conclusion. Was It the
course which slanderers would take. to noti-
fy Mr.. Baxter's friends, the evening before
the District Convention. that the charges
against him would be repeated in the Con-
yentIon, and if he would allow the opportu-
nifty (which it rested with him to iurnish)
some of the evidence on which they rested
would be produced. which he might explain
If he could ? Was it like slanderers, to
come forward in open convention, before
three thousand men, recite the charges, cLal-
lenge denial, announce their readiness to
present the proof, as soon as Mr. Baxter was
ready to meet it, and offer to reuact and
apologize if it did not sustain the charge
Was the subsequent detailed statement in
reference to the disposal Of a certain Office,
which appeared in the Free Press Of August
24th, piece Of pure invention That
statement was in effect that an Office Was sc.
cured for one David S Storrs. Of Island
Pond, through Mr.. Baxter, on condition thai
Storrs should pay $50 year from his sal
airy to Mr. Baxter, and that when Storrs
through poverty, Jailed to pay this assess
ment, demands for It's payment were mad,
by Mr.. Baxter. Ii was added that the eyi
dence Of the demands existed in the hand
writing Of Mr Baxter. Mr.. Baxter and hi
friends have been understood to pronounc

CoNvERTED.-On the receipt OF the tele-
gram that Mr.. Baxter was nominated at
Hydepark last week, (Which by the way was
not true.) a good friend AMI true soldier ex-
pressed to US his extreme satisfaction. We
agreed to disagree on the matter, and after a
little friendly talk, VIC separated. Five days
alter, this same soldier took pains to call on
US, and in his own language: :" called to
tell you had been converted II have been
through the third district since | saw you
last, and I'm no longer Baxter man."
We believe the above is true OF many oi
the real soldiers Of the Union. Their eyes
are being open, and they are not Baxter men

Judge PoIand's Opinion OF Mr. Baxter

We find in the last Woodstock &aRdGrd,
a letter from Hon. L. p. POLAND, in reply to
q correspondent of the Standard who ex-
pressed sOme distrust Of Dir. Poland's politi-
cal soundness. Judge Poland earnestly de-
nies that he has any sympathies with John
sonism, and claims apparently with the ut
most sincerity, that no member Of the Senate
has more uniformly, consistently aad firmly
adhered to the principles Of the Republican
party, than himself After alluding to Mr.
Baxter's interference at the Convention Of
the Second District, at White River juno
tion, and ayerring that Mr.. Baxter's alleSa-
lions and insinuations against him were will
full falsehoods, Judge Poland says
A day or two since, saw an account oi
the recent convention at Hydepark, signed

Poland was present as a stump orator for Mr.

IHE HYDEIARE CONVENTION How Or
LEANS Co. wAs CARRIED.-All OF the different
professions, habits. and callnSs of all clas-
res in the District were well represented, tx
cept the farmers, which class formed com
paratiyely only few Of the crowd. Some
Of the delegates were decent, some were not.
some were drunk. and some were not. The
general cry, which was loud, was for Ba-x-
ter, Bar-x-ier. Such sounds and CRYING was
thus broken and proclaimed, by free use of
Canada whIskcy. which was layIshly dealt
out by Jerry Of Orleans, from pitcher.
which he used IN making a general dIstribu-
ton Of the element, to all who would drink
and which was one Of the influences used
by Jerry * Co for carrying this County for
Mr.. Baxter. Is 1t not fair to judge per-
sons intention by what he docs, and Jerry
with his coaches filed with men, and whis-
key strapped on for baggage, did more to-
wards carrying Orleans Co. for Baxter, than
any other man why not say, then. that
whiskey and Jerry did good share Of the
work? Jerry makes very good captain In
the Baxter cause for Orleans, but he made
too free use of his duty free whi-key .-

Official Warning.
Treasury DEPARTMENT
Office Of Internal Revenue,
kIashiur.o, Auc-t,e. .Jn

Ii has been represented to this Office that in
some instances Assistant Assessors have used
their official position to secure their nomination
to local Offices, and it is urged that their re-
laiion to the tax payer is such that they may
use il to their personal advantage in this re-
spect, if so disposed. II is also believed that
the position Of candidate for Office before the
people is unfavorable to that strict impartiality
which is so essential to the proper discharge Of
the duties Of an Assistant Assessor. The Sc
cretary Of the Treasury has therefore directed
that notice be issued that the acceptance Of a
nomination for an elective Office by any Assistant
Assessor will be taken as evidence that he no
longer desires to retain his position. Assessors
are instructed to promptly report the name Of
any Assistant who may accept, or who is known
to be seeking, any nomination for such Office.
in order that successor may be forthwith ap-
pointed.

OF Morrisyille the night before the conven-

time to the people assembled there. In both
places spoke of the great effort which had
been made to DESTROY my political character.
and in both places spoke OF Mr.. Baxter as
its chief author and manufacturer, as have

Mass CoNvLSrIoNs.-We object to them /;
they are too expensive. Take the case Of
our townsman, c. ". c. Patce, lifelong
Democrat. who was laid, (as he publicly
proclaims in the streets,l $500 for going
to Hydeperk for Mr.. Baxter,-got his mon
ey, $4,000. At this same rate for the (say)
$500 men who appeared there for Mr.. Bax-
ter, the cost would be $57 900 This is
too much, and then there is a chance Of a
mistake in the investment, as in the case Of
Mr.. Patee for his vote having been chal-
lenged, and having acknowledged himself a
democrat, pure and simple, the worthy
chairman tore up Mr.. Patee's ballot before
his eyes and he passed On.-Daiiy Times,
