Presidential Chair one whose talents and
integrity will carry into effect the spirit Of
the Constitution, and maintain the suprcm-
acy Of the laws.
Resolved, That we approve of The nom
nation of William Henry HARRISON for
President Of the United States, by the
spontaneous action Of several of the States,
and by vast numbers Of republican conven-
tons throughout ,hc country, because he
has ever proved the pure patriot, the hon.
est and enlightened statesman, the yrtu-
Gus citizen, and the gallant aud judicous
soldier.

nomination of .Nntia YdA Buren,, the man
who stands wholly mcommtted, except in
his late casting vote in the Senaie, and that
he will, if elected, follow geac, ally III the
footsteps Of Gen. jackson; and because we
believe him destitute Of the requisite quail
I fcations for administering the government
oflrcemen that are justly awarded to VIII
liam Henry Harrison.

/ nation Of FraGcis GRANGER for the Office of
Vice President, because lie has ever mani
Tested an nllexible adherence to virtuous

ents Of a high order, and las ever faithfully
and efficiently discharged the duties of the

nomination of Richard NJ johnson, be-
cause we believe his practical disregard Of
the laws oicivil ana christians ociety, in res
prct to the domcsticr relations, render it high
! ly unsuitable and dangerous to raise him
to an exalted station, where his example
might contaminate many, and bis principles
teach others to disregard all distinctions
between virtue and vice.
Resolved, That the political principles
Of the Ant-masonic party in Vermont, as
promulgated in the public addresses and
resolutions Of its various conventions, are
in accordance with .he pure principles of

deservedly dear to the friends of the best
interests Of the country.

the attempts now making in the Congress
Of the United States, TO invade the sacred
right OF the freedom Of the press, guaran-
tied by the constitution, by establishing a
dctestable espionage in the Post Office de-
partment, under the prctencc of suppress
ing the circulation of inccndiary publica-
tions; and that any northern man who can
vote for and sustain such measure is
morally untitled to discharge any office in
a republican government.
