THE CONGRESSIONAL IMBRoeLlo
AND THE FARMER"

1t is quite true that the editor Of the
FARMER who has but just come to reside in
this district, is not individually, inclined to
take sides in the controversy now going on
in regard to the Republican Congressional
candidacy, But he is inclined to say, after
reading one Of the articles in the last Caledo-
nian by the writers upon Judge POlands
side, that the unjusti6able way in which his
name is there dragged in, and the use that is
there made Of private conversations, (even
IL they were reported with entire correctness,
which they are not,) must preclude, in his
judgment, all complaint in regard to any
personal severity that may be allowed in
these columns hereafter, towards those writer's
and their candidate.
As to the use of our columns by the
friends of Judge Steele, the right belongs to
them on precisely the same grounds that the
right to use the columns Of the Caledonian
belongs to Judge Poland's friends 1t true
that we should have preferred to have bought
the Times free from any and all such en-.
gagements but the trade, such as it is was
Voluntarily made by us, and no dishonor at
taches to either party by reason of it. II q
distinction should be madeon the ground that
the responsible editor of the Caledonian,
(who is well known not to be the author Of
the articles upon Judge POland's side,) is, at
least, at heart his friend which may OF
may not be so-we can give the assurance
that it will not take much more of the style
of writing referred tc, to make us quite as
hearty partizau of the other side. We vii
add, in order to prevent any miseonception
that this article is from the pen of the Edi
tor of the FARMER, without consultation with
any other person concerned. He might with
perfect propriety use much stronger Ian
guage than he has done, to mark his sense O
the gratuitous affront put upon him in til,
Cdledonian, but he contents himself now will
this simple definition Of his present position
in regard to the subject
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1872-09-27

1t is somewhat amusing to see the rapidity
and ease with which the arguments for Judge
Poland's reelection are advanced, then demol-
ished, then abandoned, and new ones substi.
tuted to share the same fate. At first, Mr.
Rankin openly edited the Caledoaian, and
sounded the praises of his father.iu-law.
Now he thinks it safer to write as eorre-
spondent, and to appear under the transparent
MONS de plume, Observer" Constituent"
&c. AT first, the entire stock in trade con.
sisted iu charges of unfairness against Judge
Steele. Now the Caledonian silently omits
to mention that subject, and especially Judge
Poland's own letter. At first, Judge Poland
was chairman Of most Of the committees in
Congress. Now dreadful silence rests over
that topic since its exposure. At first, it
was impudent and immodest for Judge Steele
to presume to enter upon Poland's own pecu.
liar stamping ground. Now it is possibly
proper for Steele to be a candidate.
At present, the argument is that Judge
Steele has little experience Ii so, the peo-
pie propose to supply that defect by giving
him Judge Polands place. With the cult.
walton of scholar, the experience of a
Judge of the Supreme Court, an unsulied
reputation, and native talent of high order,
Judge Steele would strengthen our represeu
tation in Congress. When Judge Poland
went into the Senate, he went destitute Of
the experience which he aolo considers so
important. Is it more improper to aspire to
the House without experience than to the
Senate? To aspire to first term than to u

land. Is it strange then that those of u.
who are not sons.in-law omit the exception
aud say that Judge Steele is more learned

matter Of the French spoliation claims, the
money for which was never paid over to The
real sufferers, but retained in the national
treasury. We recollect when Mr.. Lincoln
was elected hearing jealous republican la
dy say to democrat, " Well, we have got
an honest government at last, and now these
French claims, the money for which You
wretched lOco-fOcOshave SO lOngrefused tOpay
over, will be settled, and the suffering fami.
lies of those who lost their all by the piracies
Of French cruisers find relief at last" But the
good lady, who had personal interest IN
those claims, is yet no richer on that account

the minds Of all our readers a conviction Of
the fact that agriculture is not an avocation
to be Stunned as unenligbtened, degrading,
OF Improbable, to mind, soul or purse. Be
lieving, ourself, that rightly pursued agricul-
ture in Vermont is, or may be made, a source
Of wealth not second, all things considered,
to any other business, we have laid before
our readers many examples Of success
achieved among us, and have brought to
their notice the records of successful labor in
the requirement of position, honors and
wealth by agriculture, so that they might
see for themselves how il is more in the
man than it is in the land and that perse-
vering, intelligent endeavor can reap high
rewards from the soil Of Vermont, not ex-
ceptionally, but everywhere and often, nay,
always, where the right means are used. In
this we have been aided by far ADLER pens
than our own, and the records Of Vermont
farming by Vermont farmers, scattered
through our columns, demonstrate all that
we have claimed in regard to the possibilities
Of success in the application Of skilled labor
to our soil.
We have also striven, and shall continue
to strive to demonstrate the Importance Of
the development of manufacturing, quarrying
and mining enterprises among us, as afford
ing not only ready market for our farm
products, but an outlet for our surplus labor
without emigration 1t is in this way, chief
ly, that our state is to be built up, and its
wealth, moral, mental and material, greatly
increased. To secure this the legislation
Of our general government is to be rightly
guided by 10 Intelligent public opinion, which
can only have effective utterance through
the press.
Among the principal benefits which local
organ Of our agricultural interests at.
fords to our people, is the opportunity fol
every branch to represent itself fully in III
columns. 1t is our special aim to offer such
facilities, no where else so fully attainable
to our cultivators of special products, to ou
breeders of stock Of every description, to Oul
horticulturists and orchardists so that al
their just claims may be made known, fact
and opinions thoroughly discussed, statistics
recorded antagonstie claims sitted, AM
truth promoted. On these pages may b,
collected a record OF progress, both in though
and action, that will prevent much useiu
tracking and retrackiDg of the same ground
Some things can be settled, many things elu
cidated and spirit of searching enquir.
stimulated.
We will net dilate on the many other in
: cidental but not unimpcrtant advantage
likely to accrue to our farmers from the pos
session Of home paper. 1t will be to then
as general exchange where they may meet
! and from which they may gather continue
} profit to mind and pocket. In short it will
aid in developing the powers and resources O
that hardy yeomanry, the cOuntry's pride,
upon which states are founded, and by whic
) states must be sustained.

us from attending 2 uumher of the principal
county fairs, in aoDordanee with our own de-
sign and cordial invitations received from the
officers Of the respective societies, accompa-

we have been prevented from furnishing our

billions, and have been obliged to make use
of the accounts supplied by our exchanges.
Our readers are aware that we do not grudge
labor, travel or expense, in order to give
them the fullest information on all matters
connected with the agriculture of the state,
and hereafter we hope to continue our per-

except, as in some cases, where they occur at
widely separated points on the same days.
We return our hearty thanks'for all invita-
