IrP THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.


IU@ THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Has notice been generally circulated IN Ben
,,ington County and those to'cns IN W'ndsor
Countu ,chich belong TO this Congressional
District, of the District Convention 10 be hetd
on the I'm july al Townshend? WW the
Wig papers of those counties see TO IL?
The CONVENTIONS. We hope our friends
in all the towns in this county will remember
the State Convention to be held at Montpelier
on the 9th and make arrangements to be rep
resented. Let it not be forgotten also, that
the County AND DIsTRIcr Conversions for
the nomination of candidate to represent this
District in the next Congress, and of a ticket
for State Senators is to be held at Io'cnshend
on the I'm of July. Let there be full meet
ing ofthe Wings throughout the Distrct-lt
is time movements were beginning To be made
in all the towns with reference to these conven-
tons.
THE SuB-TREAsURY BILL which it was
generally supposed was put at rest, is again eX-
citing good deal of attention, in consequence
of notice having lately been given by Mr. Cam
hDOaA ''ea
it up. There is much speculation in the papers
on the question of its passage, and it is impos-
sible to Judge what will be its fate. AT all!
events the majority, if any, must be very small
in its favor, not exceeding from one to three
votes. Letter writers from Washington say
decidedly that it cannot pass, and the last cal
cuaton we have seen, being that of the Wash
ington Madisonian, with subsequent correc-
tons, gives a majority Of from four TO six
against it. There is no doubt that every effort
VIII be made to effect its passage at ms session
of Congress, for it is the last chance. In the
next House there must be an overwhelming
majority against it. But should it pass now,
it will be temporary measure, to be certain
ly repealed very soon. But when it is re-
collected that Mr. Van Buren, has said he
would sink or swim with this project; and when
il is considered how far the loco foco party has
identified itselfwith it., we see sufficient reason
to induce the most vigorous efforts on their
part to carry this favorite measure. The effect
ofits passage, though it be for temporary exist
ence, will be exceedingly injurious on the bust
ness of the country, which in consequence of
the repeal of Gen. Jackson's celebrated specie
circular, was beginning to revive. But this
administration is VIGOROUSLY an anti-business
one, and there can be no permanent CONNER
cial prosperity for us until it is superseded by
one which will be governed by different princ-
Piles and greater regard for the prosperity Of
trade and commerce. II is a remarkable fact,
and one which should not be overlooked in es-
timating the character of this administration,
that scarcely business man in the country
can be found in the ranks ofits supporters; and
even in those states which have sustained it,
the leading business towns go against il. New
Hampshire affords striking instance of this.
All the large towns at the last election gave
overwhelming majorties against the loco foco
ticket.-But the farmers too must come in for
their share of the glory Of BUSTING an admins
tration which has pursued measures so prejudi-
cial to all the interests of the country. II will
forever rebound to the credit of the agricultu-
raj state of Vermont, in the political history Of
our nation, that she has been found uniformly
and decidedly in opposition to the measures
which have brought such ruin on our land
We trust she will continue to maintain her
high stand, and at the coming election declare
unequivocally and beyond dispute her unyield-
ing determination TO adhere to the sound prin-
cpes which have heretofore prevailed among
her people.
