Johnsbury, Vt. DECENCY IN POLITICS. Sin tho present Congressional contest wo Ivo refrained from mentioning many ques Inablo things in Judge Poland's privato aractcr and in his method ot conducting i canvass. Rut recently ho has resorted to cthods so shameless and such mcanucssthat Iwould be improper to keep silenco upon bm longer. I At tho commencement ot his canvass, Ldgo Poland went in person to n prominent lizen of Railroad street, in this village, and Iced for his support, aud attempted to buy proinisc3 in connection with the po: Iico on that street, juago j'oiana naa ... Tl ,1, Jevicusly told that gentleman that ho had i power in tho promises, lie now pnid that Re matter was entirely wunin ins control ... .... i i i Id that ho would accomplish all that gen hnian's wishes if ho would support him, lie gentleman referred to did not sell out Very soon after tho campaign opened, Mr. lankin went in person to tho editor of the . Johnsbury Time and told him " it should i to his pecuniary advantage " if he would hpport Poland. The bribe was not taken lut tho Caledonian, which bad th& week revious contained a short article favorablo i Judge Steele, came out in tho followiug Isuo with Mr. Rankin's1 attacks upon Judge Itcclc, and has ever since ban edited by M: Cankin. A week or two ago, ono of Judgo Poland uglcrs went to Y hcciock and ouercu a rc pectable citizen of that town money to come at for Poland and work for him. After the sale of tho Times, strong pecu- iiary inducements were held out to tho pur- Ihasers to violate their agreement with Mr. palton in regard to tho support of Judgo Iteele. ' Judgo Poland ia President of the First National Rank of St. Johnsbury. Tho. pub- :s of tho Vermont Farmer, when they lurcbascd tho Times, applied to that Rank hrough a fricntr for tho mcney with which to liake payment. Kncourugcmcnt was given hat tho accommodation could bo had, but chen he applied for tho money last week, it as peremptorily refused, and avowedly on 16 ground that tho paper opposed Poland. Tho Farmer oflant week was mailed Fri- I lay afternoon, and should have reached our iprthern subscribers the same night. In- (tcad of being sent, the pickages wcro open d, the names of mbscribcrs no doubt taken, hnd copies of tho campaign Caledonian sent i our subscribers. On the followiug day. Saturday, tho Farmers wcro tent with the liundlcs torn open so as to reach tho readers jtho same day as tho Caledonian extras. Wo liave no means of knowing how extensively this was done, but wo foiow it was done in some instances. Xic wish all our readers who received tho Caledonian extras to know how khey were placed in their hands, and to uu- jderstand why our papers came so late. Ry tho United States postal law, no I transient newspaper can bo scut through tho mail without being prepaid in money, nnd having sufficient postage stamps upon it. ITho campaign Caledonians, not going to sub scribers, nro being sent in groat numbers all through this county, without stamp or frank. Such a proceeding is a direct violation of tho law, wronging tho government out of hund reds of dollars. Kvcry statement made abovo wo know to be true. If tho political history of Vermont can show a parallel in meanness and cor ruptness, wo havo got to learn tho fuet. Cor ruption is ono of tho imit difficult things to discover. Those who accept bribes novcr tell. Rut thero aro countloss circumstances I which show money being used in Judgo Po land's interest in the mot unscrupulous man ner to secure a rc-noinlnation. lho facts given abovo aro well known and perfectly authentic. Tho character of the man who will stoop I fo such infamous practices is a proper sub- Meet for tho thinking mi n of this district to consider beforo casting a voto lor nun. Judgo Steele is a man whoso skirts nro clear, whoso character is unspotted, whose integrity is abovo suspicion. lie has been willing that no man should uso for him any thing but fair 'argument. Wo believe his campaign will 1 bo a successful ono. Hut whatovcr its re suit, it will bo a contest upon which his friends can look back with satisfaction as ono iu which thoy supported an houorablo man : only by honorable means. Let every voter aid in putting a stamp of lasting disgrace upon tho brow ol tho politi cal hangers-on who introduce Tammany cor ruption info Vermont politics. --- DULLARD vorsus RANKIN. Ratikiu says tho only reason why Dr. Rullard opposes Poland is that Poland re fused to appoint to tho post offico a worthy man who had honorably and bravely served Ids country during Urn war, and did appoint a stay-at-homo. Thin is at least n reason wlifh docs honor to l)r Rullard's generosi ty. It is not a selfish motive. Tho reasnn why Rankin opposes Steele is not LccauFO ho doubts Stcolo's fitness for tho office, ns Rankin's on n letter shows, but.lc cause Poland is his father-in-law, and Ran kin expects a consulship if Poland is elected. Which is tho selfish ono 7 Whjch shall read the other a lecturo on " personal " rea sons? POLAND AND THE DEMOCRATS.

That letter it still in existence. A CORRECTION OR TWO. Tho series of falsehoods published in tho Caledonian concerning tho Congressional controversy, culminated lost week in tho vilest and most shameful fabrications, known to bo such when written by Mr. Rankin, purposely constructed to influenco tho cau' cusses to bo holdcn this week, and circulated all over the district in thousands of extra copies. Mr. Dalton's letter to tho Vermont Jour nal, which wo publish in another column is sufficient answer to theso statements. If anything is lacking, Dr. Dullard's letter surely sets tho matter at rest. Tho facts can very briefly bo stated. As soon as Judge Steele's candidacy was known, Mr. Dal ton, in spite of tho " pecuniary in 'ducetnent" rfiVml him by Mr. Rankin, which we mention iu another article, decided that ho would gladly and frcoly give tho support of his paper to a gentleman so uni versally respected as Judgo Steele, and in vited a friend to assist him iu the editorial work, just as Raukin becamo political editor of tho Caledonian. A few weeks ago Mr. Daltou received an advantageous offer for the Times and decided to sell it. Rut iu tho midst of n controversy liko the present, no honorable man would sell his paper to bo used as a political engine against tho candidato whose cause ho had espoused and believed to be just. It wai understood that Judge Poland had attempt cd to buy several papers. Under theso circumstances, Mr. Dalton asked to havo the canvass conducted as before, and the purchasers voluntarily mado arrangements to that cflcct, an arrangement honorable to all the parties concerned, and tho only ouo that would have been honorable. The reason for Rankin's vile fabrications about the matter is that he is angry becauso his schemes to buy support for his candidate failed disgracefully. caledi'a'cWntyT The effect of Rankin's desperate stories in Inst week's Caledonian may bo easily seen. Tico loicns only in this xountrj, Whcelock and Stannardfhate held their caucusses and loth elected Steele men. A largo part of tho county will go tho same way. How is that for a county " solid for Poland?" A 1'autisax Jouukai..

Wo navo no idea that tho tree rress in tends to convey an erroneous impression in tho abovo paragraph, but it docs. Asido from our advocacy of Judgo Steele for Congress, tho Farmer's position in reference to politics is not, nor will it bo, changed in tho least. it has never been a neutral papbr ; it never has been, nor over will be, a party paper. Its aim is to represent, to the best of its abil ity all tho interests of Vermont ("armors, in cluding their political interests. Wo believe that wo can do this most effectively by keep ing clear of party politics and wo shall do so. Tho support of Judgo Steele is an exceptional incident, consequent upon tho purchase of tho Times. Wo rely upon the courtesy of tho Free Press to do us justico upon this point.

The hens, turkoys, geese, and ducks of this department were particularly fine, tho coops belonging to Allen Toby, of Calais, being the tl noticeable, and comprisingtho largest va fbrecJs; whilo thoso exhibited by Davis, 0. K. Gray, 0. W. Short, and Town, of East Montpclicr, and Albert Marshfield, deserved the atteution oy received from the crowd. Mrrlinnlr llnll. 011K' tho departments of tho Fair, this was mo ono mcsi nouocauiy ueuoient, -Tho apples exhibited by Henry lvctchttm of Rarrc, and K. K. Andrews of Renin, and tho fruit, grapes, and vegetables by Stillmaii Wood, of Rure, attracted particular attcn tion, comprising as thoy did so many differ cut varieties, Rut for tho farmers of Wash iugton County to leavo .Mechanics' Hall with" only three cheeses, thrco tubs of butter, and three tubs of maple sugar, is to say that they aro uuablo to in iko either of them, or to acknowledge that they nro ashamed to ox hibit their manufactures. Nicer looking sugar, butter, and cheese could not well bo made, but there should have been more coin petition for tho premiums. The Atltlrrs, bv Hon. 0. AV. Willard, upon tho Industrial Interests of Vermont, was most intcrcstiu, and important in its statements of fact, and tho inovitablo inference following therefrom Tho conclusion drawn by him was that man ufacturing and mining industries must ho c couraged, or tlio State could not expect to do more than to remain substantially stationary iu tho future. Tho example of the manufacturing Statos was cited as showing that, on tho whole, man ufacturing was moru profitable than money lending ; and tho Fairbankses were alluded to as illustrating the success of a mauul'jC' ttiring establishment. Tlio wealth of lllioj Island was mentioned as giving nu instance of a small Stato becoming rich through otl cr industries thin farming. It was also claimed that -whatever increasos tho number of producing itulustrios benefits all industries and that tho farmer is especially bencfitod by tho tlomosticattoii of manufactures. It was shown that thero wcro 180,000 Venuontor in other States, noarly, if not quite three' fourths as many as tho number of natives Vermont now in tho State, which illustrated forcibly tho fact that Vermontcrs cauuot all Tmd profitable employment at homo, and aro thus compelled, iu part at least, to emigrate, This emigration ia in character equal prob ably to tho population that remains. Ver niont is thus contributing largely to thu growth and tho prosperity of other States, but grows very littlo itself. Tho remedy urged war ino multiplication of producing industries ia Vermont, in which capital shall employ labor, instead of mere ly accumulating interest ; and a better ed ucation, that should havo n tendency to keep man out of tlio non-producing professions, and encourago them to follow productive in dustries. Nothing could bo sounder, or more wor thy tho serious consideration of tlio pcoplo than tho statements and tho deduction of this address. The final races, according to tlio report of tho Argus, wqro nut tin exhibition ot "jock oy ing," und no fair trial of speed, thcreforo wo do not givo thorn spaco. Wo acknowl edge our indebtedness to our Montpolicr ex changes, chiefly tho Argus, for tho material of tho above report.

Not onu word of this Is true, except that I lotight tlio 7 ini w ami sold it to l'avlo at profit, and all Hankin had to tlo, nnd iu jus. tlco should havo tlono, was to iuiiulro of ei thnr of tho nbovu cntlcninn, to know it to bo false. This he bail not tho candor ami fairness to tlo, and seeing ho had not, I refer to thoso gentlemen and to Mr. Dalton's let tcr to prove tho utter falsity of tlio whole sweeping assertion. 1 never mado nuy con tract whatever with .Mr. Dalton for "two columns," or any other portion of thu Times, for lho support ol Judge Steele, either iu ills laper or out, at any time, as may be seen by Dalton's statement. I never sent Mr. Ido to sco Dr. lloskins. All my transactions with tho tmcs wcro fair, above-board business trans notions, and havo been so decided in n court of justice. 1 did not, as did Rankin, buy the 7 ivies, or a part of it, thou back out, and then, ns compensation for my perfidy and lack of business integrity, agreo to writu lor and partly edit it for a time, and then still further rum downright dishonesty hy suemg the party with whom I so agreed for pay for theso same services. I am at a los to account for the.so Phillip. les against me, for so many false statements in reference to myself in this campaign. I iiiiuht with propriety admit all true, li.nl it been so, for 1 believe nothing in claimed but what iu honesty and fairnes', I should havo a right to tlo; and worn it unfair, and all that f - ..1 .1 1 Ii 1.1 I I. is claimed ii Htnii.i in nu Hny uppiuiL-ii uiu unfairness of Polni.d's frlontN. Hut tho truth is, I havo not been ns active ns I should havo been, considering tho high regard and personal friendship I hold for Judge Steele, but that some of nsy best friends iu tills county nro Judgo Poland's friends. 1 havo nuver been cither in or out of town to spe cially solicitsnpport for Judgo Steele. When 1 have been about the county professionally, mid the matter has conio up, I havo frankly anil openly expressed my preference, givm my reasons, ami no more, anil I refer to my associates for tho proof. I have no personal hostility for. Judge Po land. Tlio .fudge knows it, nml ought to tell ids frantic, prating son-in-law, and not allow his inveetive venom to lioil over upon ouo w lio simply likes another better than him. I support Judge Stoclo becauso I regard him as :i great man, a respectable nwn, a gentle man who tloesjiot lord it over Ills associates and friends. Itankin will not, it seems, n low Judgo Steclu's personal friends that right, without personally attacking them, nnd classing thorn as "conspirators." Thero is n principle iu human nature ihieh nil business men understand: If a man abues you without your knowledge, and you still treat him kindly, bo will shun you ns Ids enemy: he knows you ought to be, and thinks you probably are, and hence lio is jeal- om of you and regards you as his enemy. 1 suspect this is tho relation of Judgo Poland to myself, and my reasons for so thinking will lie moro apparent when wo learn moro about the St. Jolmshury Po-tOnlce, of which Hankin says so much in the hut Caledonian. I hi says Somo time since, when .Mr. It.ill resigned the olllco ot postmaster lu tins village, Mi: llunrv Fleetwood, who had been Ins olerk mid who had managed the nlVairs of tho ol llco to the univerwii acceptance of tlio peo pie, mad" application for thu appointment, nun in accordance with thu wishes of many vlio were eoii'Ulteil in tho mallei', ho was recommended by Judge Poland. Hoforotliu matter was fully consummated (Sates 11, lliillaril. le.iriilnir what was on foot, ami not having been consulted in tlio matter, felt failed upon to oppose the movement. I In therefore looked around for-:i candidate, ami found a worthy joimg man a workman In tho foimdrv but who had never had any business oNncrionco. Now tlio business of a post olllco liko that of St. .folmsbiiry, ono of tliu four leading pol olllces in tno ."511110, is uot a littlo complicated, and could not bo suecemifully managed by one totally without business experience Jlr. Fleetwood had given universal Kitlsfaetion iu the manage, incut nf thn oflleit under .Mr. Hall, and liaelv ed by his petition hu received tho appoint ment. liullard was enraged, liu sworo vengeance. The whole of this paragraph is utterly falno as f.tr as the statements iu regard to my self nro concerned. Judgo Poland had not a more oiilliiiiiiistle Mipporlcrtliaii myself dur ing his Senatorial campaign. I begged of him not to make thu ignominious and cow arilly retreat which luulid mako iu that com test, and which lost him so many friends in the State. Hut a seat iu Congress ho was bound to have, no matter nt what f'sl of dignity or honor. I went to White Itlver Junction to sou him do it, though when I went I hoped lio would not, but hu did.

I was not tinfrciitiently risked by this samo Fleetwood, when nt the olllco after mall, how many "cattle" 1 was sending to llrnttlo boro that day. Fleetwood iiillrmetl hlmsclt i Johnson man when ho received this up polutmcnt, but it was adroitly announced, I think at Poland's Instigation, that ho was a republican. Fleetwood was drafted and at tempted to get out of thu draft by reason of having infirm parents depending on him for support, not succeeding iu which ho paid his jjou commutations nnd sworo still moro vengeaueo un thu government, ami that hu would have it back. I called Poland's atten tion to these facts, to his pledge to tlio sol tilers at Wlilto Itivcr Junction, and to the still further fact that Fleetwood had accused him of improper conduct, but yet, in spito of this, Poland still Insisted upon his appoint ment. What could havo Induced him still to persist In recommending his (Fleetwood's) appointment, notwithstanding hlsownpletlg. cs, notwithstanding n largo ami respectable petition against l lectwood and nono for him, notwithstanding tho urgent solicitations of m.iny lun his 1)est Mum3l j3 ,)ast ,y com- I .

If Mr. Fleetwood, or any other post master, serves me as the law of the country provides, ft is nil 1 ask, and all that can be tlono to favor me or anyone else. Hut it istho uncalled for treachery with which I find fault, and yet it is not wholly this. I have other reasons which I will moro fully stato if I havo occa sion to reply to further personal attacks. It Is not with pleasure, hut rather with pain, that I allude to theso facts. I hopotl thoy might bo forgotten. I dislike to rufllo thoso to whom I hold no personal animosity, as I certainly tlo not to cither of theso threo gen tlemen, but being compelled to tako up tlio cudgel of self-defense, I can do no less than stato the facts, ami 1 certainly havo tlono no more. I regret tlio necessity of this, und I should still more regret tho necessity for an other. (. 15. IturXAIEU. From tho Vermont Journal.

And now that wo aro on the topic wo may add that, as our readers will bear testimony, wo havo hitherto shown a liberality in tho admission of articles in op position to .tanlgo btoeio, for tlio reciprocation of which wo have looked in vain from tho friends ol Judgo Poland In tho CiiciioHttiJi or any other paper; aud further, that as wo now regard the question of nomination as praeti- scttlod by the people in favor of Judgo Steele, nnd further discussion on tlio lino thus far pursued by Judgo Poland's friends, as profitless, wo shall, hereafter, decline the insertion of articles opposctl to tho man whom wo have, nil along, regarded' as the peoples' candidate.
