ADDRESS.
Wing ofTermont.
Inspired will, the conviction that we have
one country to Sphold, one constitution to
support, and one destiny to fulfil /; and be-
lic,ing that these objects may be best attain
ed by the ascendancy and development Of
Democratic Whig principles, convention
Of your Wing citizens again urges upon you
renewal Of the same zeal, rckindling Of
the same spirit, and an exercise Of the same
mutual forbearance, that animated, and en-
couragcd, and sustained US, in the conflict
of 1910.
Entertaining no III tempered desire to hold
up to view the errors, the fol1ies, or the re-
m 'sncss, Of the late Administration Of the
General Government, we cannot torbear
asking yen to contrast tbs imbecility and in
crtncss Of the past Administration, with the
activity, the vigilance, and the sagacity Of
the present. Your own observation and cx-
periencc will he our warrant for saying, that
in the short period that has elapsed since the
accession of the iamentcd HARR,soN to the
Presidency, more great and patriotic meas
ures have been concerted and matured, and
more evil has been arrested in its progress
than during the whole four years that pre-
coded it.

and in regard 10 that, on which differen

that at the approaching session Of Congre

III. devised, in which all the departments Of t
Government will cheerfu!ly concur. The
;r- is, however, another subject, which i
ne been, and must continue to be, made que
ton IN our political contests. It's one
,;r. tally afft citing the prosperity Of our Sta
m. and as such demands our attention. BY I
provisions of the Compromise Act, the dut
IN on foreign merchandise, in the product
&C. and manufacture Of which American ind,
try has attempted a competition, will be
air duccd to so low point in 1912 that uni
toll. other measures are matured, the spirit Of
valry will be cxinguisled and the coun
-. again be made dependant on tie labors Of
~ foreign agriculturist and ariizan. In oil
words, the same question, though in somcw
varied form, will again be raised, whet

~" wages of that labor, shall maintain the sa
elevated condition that has thus far made

U.s. happy, or whether. by diminishing the

and the demand for that labor, shall be
GU duccd to SO low an ebb, that even the fore

ST. promise us-if VIC would pre- serve the p
