Mr.. CHADWICK. The Convention at Middle.
bury was numerousiy attended, and was composed
Essentially of the farming population of Addison,
Rutland and Chittendon Counties. Delegates from
the other counties were not numerous. Tho ariel
noon OF tho 9Th and the morning ofthe 9Th were
rainy, and many from the neighboring Counties
were prevented from attending.
have never attended a political convention
which was characterized by better feeling Ike
resolutions good, and the addresses excellent
The Veto of President Tyler and the union be
tween him and the Loco Foco members of Con
gress to defeat Protective Tariff opernted upon
| the mind Of the Convention, TO them to the
nobes determination to vindlcate The rights Of the
Norih--the rights of American producers and la
borers against the combined efforts Of Southern
Slave holders and Northern Locos Tor defeating a
Protective Tariff.
Some dis repancy had existed In different parts
OF the State in regard to the candidates for tho
State Ticket 1t was supposed that Judge Will
| Jams was the favorte candidate for Gov. in Rut
land County, and as he had already received the
nomination Of the third party regarded
| by many, good policy TO give him the nomination
of the Wing State Convention. The reports, how
ever that he the f,vorite candidate in Rutland
! County were incorrect. OF the rs delegates from
Rutland County SO votes were given in their sepa
rate convention for Paine and 16 for Williams, and
these 16 acqniesced in the decision OF the Conven
ton, and the report Of the nom mating Committee
was adopted with entire unanimi ty
/ 1t is we'll understood on this side of the noun
tam that the third party Convention at Brookfeld
which nominated Williams and Barber, was man
aged entirely by the Loco Focos, Aboliionists sc
understand it, and very few indeed will give theii
votes on the third party ticket. Many in Rutland
and Addison Counties, who would last year have
voted for Williams had he been in nomination
could not now be induce to do it on any consider
alton, for the cause that he has allowed his name
to stand upon the ticket with E. ID. Barber
one Of the most rabid of the Smile School Locos
and the Loco Foco candidate For Lieut.. Governor
The political principles of Judge Williams RI
garded here as very eqnivucal 10 say the least, ant
our people say, "GIve us no more John Tylers'
'Let us have sound Wing and we will go it q"
1t is amusing to the attempts of the Loco FL
cos TO divide the Wings, and TO draw off their at
tention from the great question at issue viz: Pre-
tectve Tariff. They are for Tariff-O yes, the,
for tariff but such a tariffsay they, las The
Wings want. They for tariff for yeoenue-
for incidental protection-they profess to be mucl
concerned about ,oeol though the Wings har
not as much interest in The protection of wool a,
they. In short they for tariff but opposed Il
every feature which recognises the doctrine Of pro
lection and every effort Of the Wings in Congress
20 establish Protective Tariff.
They laud John Tyler for his vetoes, and de
bounce Congress, because they do nothing
Bot the Wing members in Congress deteru
MED, and allho opposed a, every step by the Cot
iton Of Southern members, Northern Locos anc
John Tyler, they will not adjourn till they hav,
passed Tariff for protection.
If then it is overthrown by Presidential Veto
let John yTyier and tho Loco Focos take ih
responsibility of placing the issue before the cou,
try.
Meantime, let the Wings Of Vernon, DO true Il
their principles Let them spurn the efforts o
their opponents TO divide them, and nobly rally il
defence of the great and important doctrine Of Pr
: lection OF American Labor
