Mr.. CHITTENDEN TO SENATOR HILL.
DEAR SENATOR UTIL: read in my country news
paper IN July extract from one of your Summer
speeches in Georgia which You rasped the RePub-
lican party too severely, in my judgment. consider
ing the good work it has DONE and the work il still
has 20 do. l might have written you about IL by
mail az the time. bat for my cowardiy groom. who
jumped from my wagon when my colt was going
little 900 fast. whereby was dumped by the road
side bruised ard nsensible, with my night arm
badly sprained. My arm is not well yet, but ] am
able TO write and as time lies that you may if you
please. take part il what is going here, I send
you NV letter in the types of 1HE NEw-YORK
TRIBUNE.
] believe that il is not extravagaut T. say that
the pending election in New-York is the most inter-
esfing and important state election since 1850.
Your candidate for Governor-who ia an excellent
nan. by the way-says the election concerns only
State affairs .; but everybody lanChs at him tor
saving il. The common feeling 90 be that the
election is not only OF National interest but that II
is also the final battle with rehellion the climax Of
bitter sectional strife and probable gateway to
comparative good feeling and assured National
prosperity.
The North is perhaps more weary Of sectional
strife than the south, but we do not how 10
escape one year moIe 81 it. You do not care TO
deny that the South is iImly united IN a bold and
persistent purpose to control the Federal Govern
ment in the name Of the Democratic party. For
this Won first gave all your precious treasures. in
cluding slavery and Your best blood. You freely
achuov lodged that you were defeated on the battle
field. but the wrong done 20 tine Union by your
frantic effort 20 destroy II is nowhere rePeuted o.
Ihave never seen man from the South, VINO took
part in the fight. who woud admit that the
rebellion was inexcusable. There is plenty of re-
