Whereas, this convention as the organ of the
Wing party in Vermont, in recommending
this ticket for the suffrage of their fellow citi-
zens seek not merely the elevation to office and
trust Of the persons who compose it, but through
them, the maintenance of sound principles, and
Whereas by an affective and mysterious dispen-
sation of Divine Providence, the great Wing
Party of this Country, but few months since,
one in political faith, one in hope, and one in
their confidence in the illustrlous head of that
party, through whom that Faith and Hope
would have been realized in the recusitated
prosperity of the people, have been deprived of
that head, and, thrown, by the unexpected and
most extraordinary duplicity, and the mortify-
ing imbecilty of his Constitutional Successor
into partial confusion and DISCRIMINATION

cofocoism a spasmodic return of life and conf
dence:
| Therefore, it is appropriate and expedent, that
| we should declare anew the great principles
| for which we contend, and which neither the
treachery of perfdious friends or the open hos
tility of avowed enemies can scduce us to COM
promise, or brighten us to forsake.
tits, therefore, as the deliberate sense of this
