Vermont to The Rescue.
e TURN OUT OF
TEE PEOPLE.
More than Ten Thousand Wings mt the
grand Convention on Stratton Moun
tain. The voice of a multitude
sanctioning the Harris
buigh Nomination.

Never within our recollection have we been
permitted TO witness a scene equal in novelty
aud grandeur to the one exhibited at the STRAIT
ton Convention last week. II was such a
scene as we could wish every Wing in the
United States might have witnessed. The
people were awake-one would have supposed
that some mighty event was about 10 take
place, as the people were seen hastily vending
their way in masses up the rugged roads lead
ing TO the Convention ground. II seemed as
il every house, cottage and hamlet had disgors-
ed itself Of its tenants. Every road seemed
lined With yehicles-coaches, cbaises, Wagons
~orevery description and the like, all seemed to
have been putin requisi,ion for the occasion.
Those who could not afford the means Of a pub
lie or other conveyance, travelled the distance
on foot. Most of the delegations were obliged
10 travel from twenty to forty miles. All was
life, and animation. II seemed as il no obsta-
Gle, whatever It's magnitude, could impede their
progress. II ever before our friends abroad
have doubted whether the Green Mountain
Boys would do their part, could they have wit
messed this pageant, We know they would
have said, ietMe Green Mountain Boys atone,
Mey'a do their duty. All classes were here
assenibled-ihe laborer, the mechanic, mer-
chant, farmer, all left their accustomed duties,
many ofthem at a great sacrifice and expense,
with a determination fixed and im;noyable that
ifanything could be effected by them to bring
ubou, a change it should be done. Here you
might see old and young, rich aud poor, ming
ling together and discussing freely on the po-
liiical state Of things in the country. Oh that
Buchanan, Benton, Wright, and even Van Blu
rem himselfcould have been present 10 have seen
this mighty gathering Of the people. They
would no longer claim Vermont, as a Van
Bnren State, but in the height Of their an
guish would exclaim-- she's gone, hook, line,
and sinker.
AS the processiofAon the east side Of the
mountain passed on from Hammond's Mills &c
the Convention ground, a distance of eighI
miles, with their banners flying and bands o.
music playing lively airs, and the eye reverted it
the valley below, il rested upon one of the mos
imposing spectacles ever presented. AS til,
procession Deared the encampment each delega
lion was received separately with heart,
cheers. The first thing which struck the ey,
upon the ground were the numerous tents, th,
fine bands OF music, to the number Of ten O
twelve each, vieing with the other,to render til,
scene interesting. Here might be seen a booth
there's icnt--and yonder a log cabin. All ,hi
taken with the beautiful scenery, unequalled an,
where, made up ono oflhe grandesl sights ,ba
ever was seen.
ltmay not be embarrassing 10 ourreadcrs, Il
have some mention made Of the various dele
cations. 1t cannot Of course be expecled we cal
go in to a full account, but far as we are able
We will give a description Of them.
