vice. As 1t is crcditable for the citizen
to aspire for this honor, IL Is equally cred
liable for the town to seek to furnish n
representative for the county in the SEN
ate. But every town cannot be yearly
Bratified In this desire, so n precedent or
rule Of order and alienation, has come to
prevail In tho towns Of the county, in re-
spect to county representation. Accord
ing to this rulo IT belongs 70 the town Of
Wlliston this year to furnish one of tho
senators of Chittendcn county So plain
is this, that an honorable citizen OF an
other town in the county, town where
thcro is an aspirant for tho senatorship--
has written to n citizen of this town. re-
mindng him that 1t belongs to Wiliston

him TO both aspire and work diligently
for the place. But Willston has in adj

eering for Mr.. Stickncy for governor. Now
