Hon. BRADLEY BARLOW.--WC no.
tcc Il spirited contest is going ON in
Franklin County in reference to one OF
the Senators, between the Hon. Bradley
Barlow, Republican candidate, and
Hon. Victor Atwood, Democratic nOmi-
nee. It will be remembered that, by q
side issue upon local questions, Mr. At
wood defeated Mr.. Barlow last year
While we have the highest respect for
MIR. Atwood personally, and a. an in
dustrious, intelligent gentleman, we
must he allowed to regard this contest as
one Of Importance to the Republican
party in Vermont, as well as to the in
tcrCst of the State at large. Mr.. Atwood
is a Democrat of Mr.. Seymour's School,
and it is highly important that Yer
mont should show n united front in the
senate at the coming session, as indi-
eating the sentiment of the majority of
the people of Franklin County, and its
influence upon the elections of other
States, that our state may not tie nisrc-
presented, as being divided upon any OF
the great political Issues of the hour.
Mr.. Barlow should receive the undivid-
cd Republican vote of the County of
| Franklin. He is Il gentleman who, at
the outbreak of the rebellion promptly
gave up his former political affiliations
| y
forts to the support Of the Union cause,
and on every occasion has eXertcd bis
influence in favor of the maintenance OF
the Government, and deserves we'll OF
all the Union men of the state.
But still other considerations demand
the election of Mr.. Barlow. He is a
gentleman of undoubtcd ability, and
one of the most useful and valuable
legislators Vermont has ever had in the
General Assembly. In saying this, we
make no general expression, but speak
from personal observation OF his course
as legislator. Before his utilization
with the Union party, he was often
times q member both of the House and
Senate, and was on all occasions ac-
llnowlcdged to be amoug the most use
full and valuable members of either body
acting upon questions with regard tt
the public welfare. We do no more
than justice to Mr.. Barlow in saying
what is conceded throughout Vermont
both by opponents and friends, that ht
is, in Legislative capacity, q gentleman
beyond rcprOach, u skiltul and success
full debater, a parliamentarian scarcely
without a peer IN the State, and who
always acts with honorable and faithful
regard to what he believes to be the in
terests of the commonwealth, withOu
reference to local considerations. Sucl
is the man, and ii is the duty Of tn,
people of Franklin County to do hin
justice and return him to the Senate, n
one who will do them honor, and wh'
will be one of the most influential, dis
erect, honorable, and most useful legis
lators that ever held seat in Vermont
Franklin County will honor hcrselfan'
do great service to the State by the elec
ton Of Bradley Barlow to the Senate
RUtidnd Herald.
