Democratic Wing Convention, which assemb-
led Yesterday at Woodstock. Although the
season thus far has been characterised by the
enormous quantity of rain which has fallen,
vet il has not dampened the energies OF the
husbandman of our own Green Mountain"
State. The day was very suspicious. The
sun shone in all its accustomed splendor. The
farmer uny oked his oxen, and turned them out
10 feed and rest. The mechanic laid aside his
apron and tools, determined to set aside one
ddy for the purpose Of making selection OF
candidates for State Officers for the ensuing
political year. Long before ~ O'Clock, Were
seen the smiling faces of more than 1900 free
men, assembled for the purpose Of showing the
aristncratic Office holders" that when the
sovereign people turn out in their majesty they
NAV expect TO see their conduct aud actions
condemned. The Convention was organized
by appointing Norman Williams, Esq. OF
Woodstock, President, assisted By ten Vice
Presidents. Among The number was the Hon.
Ezra Mech, who has until recently acted with
| the administration party but seeing that par
" departing from The principles which were
| laid down by Jefferson and Madison, and run
ming headlong on to destruction, regardless OF
the consequences to themselves, and much less
to others, he could not and he would not fol-
low them on 10 destruction. MIR. Meech you
/ will recolect, was the Jackson candidate for
Governor some nine years SINCE lie is one OF
the largest farmers in the state, and may we'll
know their interests. Silas Ii. Jenison was
re-nominated for the Office of Governor; David
M. Camp for Lieut.. Governor, and H. +. James
J for Treasurer
! The Convention was ably and eloquenlly
/ addressed by the Hon. VIM. Sade, of Middle
bury. Mr.. Slade is emphaically man Of the
, people. He =" knows their rights, and knowing,
dare maintain them.
With farmer Jenison for a candidate, the
Wings Of Vermont can and will re-elect him
by triumphant majority. Delegates were
appointed TO the National Convention to be
holden at Harrisburg in December next. You
may depend upon il, that Vermont will be, a:
! she has been, ALWAYS FAITHFUL. e.
nz-We learn that the Rev. Mr.. Miller,
Baptist clergyman who has spent, as he says
: IA years in studying the Scripture propheses
r and who announced that the world was com
IS ing 10 an end about the year 1843, has lately
!; discovered a mistake of one hundred years, il
Is his calculation. This will undoubtedly be
great disappointment to that 'grindstone swal
lowing class of the community which so east
Nv dgesied Mr. Miller's book and TO those
also, who hoped that some people woul
meet with their deserts much sooner than the
s. expected, and other people, would have lhei
e reward. But the mistake is matter OF coz
