DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The Wings of the Second Congressional
District, comprising the counties of Rutland
and Addison, are requested TO meet in Con-
~vention at the Village of BRANDON, on
Thursday the TllIRTIETH DAY OF JU-
.LY NEXT, at 0 O'Clock, A. NJ. for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate to represent
said District in the Congress of the United
,s.,. and one Elector of President and Vice
President.
The joint committee Of the two counties are
graiiied TO feel that the patriotic Wings of the
: istrict do not require TO be urged to turn out
in behalf of a suffering and p}underedC ou ltry,
in times like these. they are well convinced
that the honest Indignation of an oppressed
People is thoroughly aroused, and that it only
waits the opportunity afforded by the BALLOT
Box, 10 be distinctly and emphalically express
sed. The federalism Of the present odious
ruling administration finds nothing but deter
mined opposition among the great majority OF
the freemen Of Vermont, and their immense
md unprecedented assembiages, I'm their pri-
mary meetings, the patriotic enthusiasm and
ardor which so universally prevail, and the un-
conquerable zeal with which they engage in
tie great and good cause of HARRISON and
REFORM, are "bright omens," which assure
us that the SPIRIT which openly resulted OPP
preston in 70, and which triUmpbed in 80, is

cisive, revolution of 1910.
