Mr.. BARLOW is scattering a few more
cords of his Greenback letters about the
Third District, together with his letter Of
formal acceptance of the nomination of the
National Greenblck party, in which he says
his views have undergone no change and are
now tine same as expressed in those letters.
In those letters Mr.. Barlow advocated the
ssue of thousand wiilion dollars in green
backs--an imitation of the currency which
would have reduced the value of the greea-
back dollar Chen at 80 per cent dIscounD
TO about 80 cents in gold. lie advocated the
payment Of the go bonds in greenbacks,
which would have been reputation Of from
50 to 80 per cent Of the large portion Of the
public debt Represented in those bonds. lie
aiyuclted. and still fiyors-ior he says his
views have undergone no change - an
arrangement which would have compelled
the United States Treasury to receive
all the lie currency of the cap
italists, and pay them frep" ant mtr-
ea there1n,-while the poor man, whose
sayinss in grecnbAcks wonll not amount t.
thousand dollars, was t. have NJ such priv
ilege of making special deposits on interest
Had these measures been adopted, the credit
of our Government would have been we'll
nigh ruined, aud its financial honor sadly
srnutched at home and abroad. The refund
ing Of the debt at low rates of interest,
which has been going on so successfully,
would have been out Of the question. Re
sumption, which it is quite plain from other
portions Of has letters Mr.. Barlow did not
favor or desire, would have been indefinitely
postponed. The greenback instead Of being
to-day substantially at Iar, would still be at
a heavy discount. The brokers and gold
gambler, ard SPECTATORS would have been
making their piles; but the community in
general would be suffering from harder
times and greater distress than We have thus
far seen, and there would be little or no
hope Of relief
When Mr.. Barlow thus offers himself for
the sufIrage~ Of the members of the National
Greehbark party, he is entitled at least to
the credit Of c, usis:cncy. 1t is the party to
which he hclongs-the party Of fat money,
Of rcuudiition, Of financial anarchy. Ii i
directly antagonistic to the Republican par

the Republican party is in the opposite di-
Iection- Wien, therefore, Bradley Barlow,
National Greenbhcker, ufcrs himself to
R,puLb1oHs fr their sulirages, he j. neither
consistent nor honorable. For one man to
serve and represent both these parties Is sim

Barlow il going to have the votes Of the
Gre nbackers and Of the Democrats bu.
why should he have the vote cf any honest
Republican?
TnE st. Adams ldrynscy asks, ain what

Uertiser is, We believe, comparatively a new
conner in Vermont, and Is to he pardoncd
for not understanding some things which
longer acquaintance with men and things in
our State will make plain to him. Gen.
Grout is more dstinctiyely a Republican
than Mr.. Barlow, in that he never Joined
