reported the following:
! Il so red That the revolution which now CON
vulses His nation, though hIOodIess in its charac-
ter, is OF enduring importance 10 the best interests
of bleeding country. Liberty is wounded in lis
hottest SANCTUARY, the constitution las been viola
ted by the exclusion of II sovereign state from the
councils of The natl ~ and they VINO have been
depuIed TO be The legal agents OF the people have
conspired TO he their dctators. We must wrest
the government from the hands OF unialtbiul men,
or consent 10 he slaves.
| Resolped, That the enthusiasm which has burst
forth from the great mass of the American people
is The best guarantee for tho stability of our gov
ern,nent aud The intelligence and integrity Of its
citizens.
! This is no ordinary movement. The nation,
lashed into fairy by the suflerings inflicted by the
administration, have arisen in the might of their
strength, aud demand relief 1t is The cause Of
the people, IF them aud TOR them, and the work
when thus begun is half accomplished
ReSolred, That the State OF Vermont responds
most heartily 10 the flarrishurgh nomination.

side from duy; hut when the call OF ms country
has heen al swered, he has returned 10 private life
in The enjoyment of II reputation which despoIs
never knew, AMI which none hut the enemies OF

effectlaly Obtained by projecting tariff The
people need This protection, they must have it, nay
they ,pM hare ii. The wages oflabor must not be
reduced ms IN nockery of the sweat and toll OF
honest industry.
The want of protecting tariff Unnecessarily begets
dependence on foreign nations, than which moth
ing can be more odous and anlirepublican
Home is not only the centre olihe best affections

said by Gen Harrison, that ace must Look TO home fo'
all that hume can give

the republic together ;-und The attempts Of lhC
administration 10 divert it from It's righltu owners
is at once breach of faith, and hostility to the
Union.
This treasure has found guardian in Genera

The State of Vermont has deep interest il
