The Third District.

To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times
This is the political year in Vermont, and
the pot has already commenced to boil, and
as all of tie bad elements of the parties
will be up and dressed, it is absolutely nec-
essary that all grave and sober men should
be up and doing, for there are some abuses
which must be corrected or We shall soon
pass to the shades of departed empire. The
most important matter for our considera-
ton in this District, is proper man to
succeed Mr.. Heniee in our National coun-
ell. There are several names before the
people, of men no doubt possessed of stera3
ling qualities Prominent among candi-
dates stands Bradley Barlow. Why should
he be the man OF sll others to represent the
people of this District in Congress? Is it
because he has been shrewd enough to
amass an immense fortune from the Govern
ment out of a mail contract ring, and liberal
enough to subsidize the Press in his favor
| have frequently hoard it said by protested
good men," "0hl Brsd's money will do
it." What a disgrace to a free people
What a commentary on the olden times.
when the Office sought the man instead of
the man tho Office Allow me to suggest
to you man eminently qualified to repre-
sent the people Of this District in Congress.
Hon. E. A. Sowles. of St. Adams. man
of liberal education, splendid talents, bred
lawyer, has inherited large fortune,-for
which some will envy him, but none can
blame,-a young and active man, who if
chosen will look alter every interest Of his
constituency; and last, but not least, he is
eminently q temperance man. On this base
my plea, for intemperance has corrupted
all OF the springs of our Government. and is
the giant of human woes and the sum Of all
yillisnies. II We ever bring this Govern
ment back to its original purity We must
choose rulers who have level heads and pure
hearts, and We must discard ringmasters and
political bummers. Yours, W. G. C.
