From he (Benn ingtonl IIermonter.

We insert, to-day, the nomination of the Hon.
VIM. Henry Harrison candidate for the Presi-
deney. and of Francis Granger candidate for the
Vice Presidency OF the U. >. at the approaching
election. We have not delayed an insertion OF the
foregoing ticket the this time because it does not
meet our views of expedency or policy, or because
we hesitate to give our cordial support. On the
contrary, We do firmly believe that more suitable
selection could not have been made, and so far as
our views deserving any consideration, we shall
consider it a duty which we owe TO the country, to
advocate the cause of both these candidates. In
doing this we would not detract any thing from the
fair reputation of Mr. Webster. His talents OF
a brilliant character and eminenty qualify him for
any station to which the people may call him.
During a long life. he has made the laws Of his
country and the constitution his favorte study and
while he has uniformly ranked at the head of the
expounders of one, and defenders ofthe other, his
character has been unsullied by the breath of Sian
der. But large majority ofthe people ofVermon'
! it appears prefer Mr.. Harrison. We in common
with the Antimasons dread the election Of Mr. Var
Buren, as an event trought with danger to our lib
critics. United are, IN this very importnn
point, let there be still nearer union between Us
in the support of the Constitution, the judiciary, tho
protective system, and the public faith. United w
stand but divided we fall and the common enemy
triumps over us. We ask you then to render you
opposition to Van Buren, efficient and available, b!
helping US to sustain Gen. Harrison. flour fread

The Convention, which met at Montpelier on

of UfiHarp Henry Hhrrison and Francis erdngo,

From The Burlington Free Pres.

The proceedings of the two conventions which
met al Montpelier on the Oath ul; will be found IN
our columns to-day, and we refer TO them with
pride and satisfaction, as proving to the world
that zoe have never doubted-that Vermont is true
to herself, true to the country, and true to the
pies which moved our fathers to resist oppres-
sion. The same spirit which nerved their arms to
resist encroschmen,s of New York upon our terri
tory, still exists, among their soma, and will repel
with equal the present and all future attempts
to palm upon US the corrupt system OF New York
politics. BE it therefore known to you, O powers
that be, we, the People Of Vermont worship not
your dols--we covet not your "spoils.'
II nov Only remains for the several counties to
affect an immediate organization for the campaign
and carry it out in the spirit 1t has commenced, to
secure triumph worthy the palmy days of Allen
and Warner. We promise good account from old
