ing the morning SESSION. resluehS Vi 'nIs cou"p
with very few exceptions Col. J. p. Miller OF
this village presided, and on taking the chair made
a speech substantially this-emancipation was the
leading object Of his life,-for this, political action
is nocessary-and he should therefore go for po'
Iitica abolition party in Vermont, and for candid
aes who are ubotionsis through good report
and through evil report. b. II. Hayward OF this
village was appointed Secretary, and after prayer
by Rev. Mr. Blood, Col. J. =. Miller, Rev. MIR.
Slorrs, Rev. Mr.. Blood, Capt Sonerby ard Rev.
Mr.. Harding were appointed business commit
tee. Rev. Mr.. Storrs moved for committee to
nominate state ticket. Col j. =. Miller deemed
II nomination at this time iuexrrdieut. ". w. w.
Miller denounced tie doctrine Of expectancy, aud
insisted upon nomination now. MOTION agreed
TO- and the conmitiee appointed as follows: Esq.
Kingsbury II. w. w. Miller, Rev. MIR. Slorrs, j.
p. Miller, H. Y. Barnes, Rev. MIR. Peck aud Rev.

On going in the afternoon, we found consid-
cradle accession 10 ihe numbers, nbout sixty he
lug present, including spectators. Rev. Geo.
Storrs, from the committee on nominations re-
ported The lollowin ing Stn:e ticket:
! For Gorern0r, Hon. CHARLES X WILLIAMS.
| For Lieut.. Gov PAUL DILLINGHAM, Jr Esq.
For Treasurer, Hon. lIENRr F. JAMES.
| Col. J. =. Miller said he cOncurrcl with the
committee in recommending this ticket. M ms
suIunces had been received that the gentlemen
nun mated would accept; they protested, howev-
err, to he aboliiiohis,s, and it would soon be seen
whether they were what they proleSsed 10 he.
For his own rntt, Ia believed them to be men Of
whom tie convention need not he ashamed. Col.
NJ. here introduced II letter from elder Shaw,
comnendutory OF Judge Williams abolitiOnisnI,
and followed in n warm political uuti-suvery
speech.
Rev. George Storrs said that he knew not, he
was almost ready TO shy he cared not, whether tie
persons nominated did, or did not accept. The
invitation was extended 10 them, aud if they
would share the tolls the trouble, and erhurs
the disgrace, of this contest they had the oppor.
luniry aud if they declined, other men would
be found. The main point gained was tIlis-rhe
banner Of Liberty is raised and flung 10 the
hrctZe.' The reverend gentleman spoke with
spirit and ler,id zeal, denouncing alike the church,
the government, and existing political parties, (all
aholilonisls inclusive who sustained either purity
in The late contesl,) deriding The idea Of resting
upo IL moral means 10 fleet rmancipation and
urging political action essential
Tie ticket was then adopted by The cor,en-
ton.

On motion OF Rev. Mr.. SorrS, The county COM
mtecs we're directed TO call county conven-
tons Without delay, to nominate candidates for the

A letter from Jedediah IIolcomb Of Brandon
was read he thought it unwise to resort TO party
action SO long us the Vermont legislature had done
