Smith, a man over seyouty, somo six feet four inches in his stockings, straight as an arrow, vigorous as at twenty, one of the ablest lawyers in tho Stato, and a strong man politically, but unpopular with his present supportors because of hh Union antecedents, and unpopular with tho Union men becauso of his present company.

Both parties j wcro alike guilty, nnd nliko disgraced in tho oyOB of high-minded, patriotic I mun. No olcction was secured, and a phase more astounding than any heretofore is now made public. A I short time since, tho leaders in the September contest, with their advisors, met in Mout.pelier, and made a bale i and transfer of tho political rights jf Edwin - tho people of this district, by appoint ing a hiicecxsor to linxtoi for Congress , 1 lie audacity of this proceeding has ; no parallel, at loast in the history of Nermout politics. For unsuccessful No one will, for a moment, believe that Smith was not cognizant of the trade anil transfer. Hunco, for anoth er reason, (ho ConvoutSon did not act iu tho spirit of tho calU for undor lho circumstances it would self-ovidently as well re-unite tho Republican pnrtv to renominate Baxter, nR to nominatol Smith. Therefore, in nominating Smith, the spirit and intention of tho call was ho violatod as to render its action void. Further, the Convention wae organized by tho appointment of a Chairman with referenco to shutting out debate and forcing the nomina tion of Smith to fulfill (ho condition of hia trndo with Baxter and Hoyt. In evidence of this a motion was mado to ndopt u resolution expressing a tnodo by wliieh to secure tho unity and harmony of tho Jlopublican party. It was only by groat effort that the Chair could be induced to put tho mo tion debate was almost entirely cut off. and when tho result of tlio vote on tho motion was doubtful, (ho Cbairi hasloncd to declare tho motion lost. ' Also n motion to appoint n Commit too to present resolutions to express tho views of tho Convention would not be entertained by tho Chair, so that no public expression of sontiniont was made. Honce, again tho action of tho Convention is not entitled to respect nnd has no binding force. In accord ance with that beliof a portion of its mombers mot in Convention, and mado nomination of A. 0. Aldis as n suitable Candidato to elect to repre sent you in Congress. Judge Aldis is too well known throughout this District to ncod any thing said in his behalf, and wo will only say in referenco to him that ho is emphatically ono of tho people, kindly and friendly to all, and in ad dition is posscssod of such a towering intellect, that ho will at once take first and foremost rank in tho halls of legislation. Wo ask you, ns you valuo Constitutional liberty, that you will placo your soal of condemnation upon trading politicians. .Lot it uo do- stinctly understood that horoaftor, whon the public sorviccs of any man aro wanted, you will hcoIc him out, and that ho cannot thiust himself in to your service. Thero should be no intoi vention between tho peoplo and thoir agent Tho uso of money, by any aspirant for public service, to se cure an election ought forovor to dis qualify him from holding oflico. There n no higher duty that American citi zens can perform than to prosorvo in tact their liberties. If you permit men that baiter with your rihta, to socuro elections by the uso of money, you aro depriving yourselves of your dearest birthright. If Smith, under the circumstances attending tho at tempted oloction of Baxter and Hoyt, and now attending his present posi tion should bo elected, no man may hope to lopresent you in Congress un less he is possessed of gioat wealth. We beseech you then, fellow citizens, as you would soeuro a high standard of public morals in community, ns ym would set an example, which will pro serve to all time, the blood bought lib erties of the whole nation; rally, and by tlio election of A O.

Besides these, somo ono to threo hundred thousand of tho public likowiso tro thoro for their supplies. Taking,- on an ayerage, that each family of five persons consumes three pounds of meat for dinner, it follows that about ono hundred and thirty-fivo tons of meat aro daily taken away from tho market in small quantities. Taking the prico of moat at the average rafo for lino descriptions of meat, about eighteen cento por pound, wo find that about $51,009 pass hands each morn ingsupposing only ono hundred thousaud persons buy meat. If wo calculate tho wholo meat-eating popu lation to bo eight hundred thousaud, and that these each consuiuo a pound of meat per diom, which is not a vory excessive avorugo, and taking tho av erage price oi meat to bo liftoon cents por pound, which is tho lowest price beef is sold at in tho city, wo soo that ovor $120,000 aro daily distributed bv tho inhabitants of New York'for meat alone.
