concluded the sale mentioned above.
It will be recolected that WILLIAM
PHILBRICK OF Skowhegan was nomi-
mated by the Green hackers as their candi-
date for Congress in this district, and that
FRANKLIN SMITH OF Wsterville was
nominated In good faith by the democratic
patty as its candidate for that position.
The terms of the Bargain and Sale COM

There have been instances in history
where despots have bought and sold and
transferred human beings, without their
consent, from one master TO another like
cattle, but such transactions have always
been regarded as INFAMOUS by all enlight-
ened people. If Franklin Smith, Will
liam Ware and Eben +. P.llsbury. can
transfer the democratic party of this dis
trict to the Greenback party, without con-
sulting them. then these leaders have
more power over the democrats of this
district than the Gar of All the Russias
has over the people of his Empire.
We doubt their ability to accomplish
their purpose. We have been opp )sed
politically to the democratic party but VT
