COUNTY sENArofsHip AGAIN.

AS we did not quite finish our say last
week upon this subject, we resume it this
week. according to promise, taking up The
thread where we broke it.
We were speaking of the necessity Of
an amendment of our charter. Our opin-
ion he thft'it'r eeas no amendment in the
matter referred to But if it Dies. what
Of il? Who will oppose its amendment ?
And is Mr.. Hendee the only mau whom
the fertile soil of "Spunky Lamoille" has
ever raised, who is capable of properly
putting this matter before the Legislature
of Vermont? Our readers must beor us
xftness that We have hot been stingy in
awarding praise to our delegation in the
Legislature. last Fall, Of whdth Mr. Hen
dee was one. for their efficient and limited
efforts ia behalf of the Rail Road. And
Of Messrs Hendec and Brigham's labors
We have frequently spoken since
The efforts Of other gentleman have not
certainly been less, nor less efficient,
than Mr.. Hendee's, and neither they
nor their friends set up any claim for re-.
soard. or claim Of merit over their numer.

bored with them in this common cause;
neitGe' do they think themselves the only
men who could faithfully and ably rep.

We understand them not only to be will.
Ing, but DESTROYS, that some other men
should take their places this Fall and they
will not iDJure those mems usefulness by
insipuations against their honesty in the
Il. Il. matter, bat will do all in his power
to strengthen their hands ana assist them.
We do not, even by implication, mean
to say that Mr. Bendec ithagines himself
tho only man who could represent The
county. We have, indeed, some direct
proof to the contrary. He certainly must
have thought Mr.. Camp fit man, or he
would not have pledged himself to his
support. We know Of nothing in the as

como to light since the first Of May last

Hendee's mind in this respect Indeed
We are assured that he has not changed

Camp that he Camp shall have his
