Mr.. Clarke, no eulogy and no defence,
Long before now the people of Vermont
have placed him in positions of honor
and trust, and have always found him
as true as the needle to the pole. He is
a man of great ability, large experience
and great knowledge of men. He con-
fers blessings upon the District and upon
those around him. Beginning life
poor boy, he has attained the topmost
round of the ladder. For the last fifteen
years he has been advancing the confines
of civilization and carrying the blessings
of humanity and enlightenment to our
Western wilderness. He has been ma
ligned on account of his prominence. He
hates no man. Reviled, he has not re-
viled again. He has the kindest feelings
towards every man in the District. The
answer to the calumnies circulated
against him is found in the unanimous
vote in his favor of Franklin county and
of almost every town in the county.

Circuit the most suitable person we could
