To the .4ntimaScns of Vermont.

FELLOW CITIZENS Once more you
are called on to Tassemble, by your dele
gates in convention, at Montpelier to trans
act business of the highest Importance, not
only to yourselves, but TO your country, and
posterity.
The oath of February 1886 will be IL
day of 10 ordinary interest on that day
all who can, should repair 10 the capitol,
and no town in the State should he without
one delegate at least i'll the convention. On
the deliberations of that convention and
It's ultimate decision may depend the future
destnies of this great Republic. On that
decision the character of the State of Yer
mont, the interest and happiness of her
citizens and your own individual character
for consistency and political integrity does
most essentially depend. You are therefore
to deeply interested; by faithfully attending
the selection Of delegates in your respcc-
tive towns, you may do much TO insure a
harmonious and satisfactory result-and
such an one as shall reflect credit on your
selves, your party, and your country,-and
which shall have tendency TO advance
the cause i'll which we are engaged, and
ensure its ultimate triumph. 1t should be
borne in mind that the Importance of the
business TO be submitted to the convention
was the sole cause of its assembling at an
earlier period than usual, but the time is
peculiarly favorable for the attendance of
those who are in fact to decide upon what
ever nominations the convention may
make.--for the Fdrmers--m many of whom,
could not make it convenient to attend in
the summer. Let us have full attendance
from all parts of the State.
That the sentiments of the people them
selves should be well understood by those
who are to represent them, in the proposed
convention, is also highly Important
The people should see TO it that faithful,
capable, and honest men are selected, who
are known to he actually attached TO their
principles aud will stand by them, and
defend them against the wiles of political
corruption, come from whence it may
On the preservation of our political integri-
", and the strict adherence to those great
principles which we have heretofore asser
red, and so successfully maintained, every
thing dear to us as freemen now depends.
If the flag of Antimasonry is struck in
Vermont, we may as well surrender the
right of suffrage Mt once, and submit to
the degrading alternative of being sold rs
slaves, to do the will of muster.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL.
With n view to silence forever the sncers
of the enemies of the Democratic party,
in relation to the prCpriety of their thus
designating themselves, | propose TO en-
tighten its opponents, the Fcderalists, who
appear to have no definite notion OF the
meaning of the term Democrat. We are
constantly reminded, rs an evidence that
we have no Just claim TO the title, that our
party has in its ranks a goodly sprinkling
of Federalists. We are further told that i'll
principles, ms well rs practically, we bear
small resemblance to the Democrats Of the
days of Jefferson. And much more to the
same import we are told by the cavilling
and disappointed Federaist. But we will
soon wind them up not however after the
fashion, we would wind up clock, that
its garruily may be continued, we will
wind them up, that is, silence them.
We suppose it will not be denied, even
by the captious Feds themselves, that de-
mocracy relates to n government in which
the people, that is IA minority of the people,
rule. Now this once conceded, we fairly
have you. So long as the majority of the
people rule, SO long the government is a
Democracy. And in an acknowledged
Democratic State, surely the people, or at
least large portion Of them, must be de-
mocrats. Now that party in the state which
is opposed TO the rule of the mGoritH can
not Of course be Democrats, consequently
the other party, TO wit; the majority parry,
must of necessity be the Democratic party,
otherwise we should have the singular
phenomenon ola Democratic state without
a Democrat in it. II is therefore, as clear
as the sun at noon day, that the party nov
in power is the true, genuine democratic
party, for to 4 man it is in favor of the ma
Iority's ruling. Whereas the other party
being opposed to the rule of the majority,

THE CONVENTION.

We again recur to the approaching state
convention, in view of It's importance. A
f5retaste of the spirit which prevails among
the yeomanry of the State, may be had in
the spirited communications in this num-
ber--most Of them coming from the pens
of Farmers in different counties, who have
sat down by their quiet firesides and given
us the results of their honest, intelligent and
unprecedented reflections. At a time like
this, when the moral and political clements
are in commotion, the counsel of such men
is especially entitled to respect. We prize
it highly. And it is for this reason that
we wish too see the yeomanry Of the State
fully represented in convention on the 9th.
Uunawed by official influence, unbribcd by
promised rewards, they are the men who,
10y the preponderance of numbers, by their
appreciation of the wants of the people,
and by their unwaycring attachment to the
principles of real republicanism, are entitled
to give tone and character to measures OF
the llehest importance to the nation. Al
this moment, the willy politicians of other
States, forgetting the independent character
Of our freemen, are bringing every possible
influence to bear, to decoy us into the sup
port of principles, which we have always
rejected as unworthy of republicans and
subversive of constitutional liberty. Shall
it ever be said that Vermont has proved
recreat to her cherished and Unprecedented
principles? We see the Antimasons OF
other states scudding under the banners
of other parties, and now reckoning to us
TO come and share the double dishonor Of
their lot. Antimasons of Vermont! Far
mers Of the Green Mountains What is
your reply?
