SPIRIT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS.
From the Vermont Republican.
our TICKET.


Our friends will see, by reading the proceedings
Of the late Democratic Convention assembled ut
Montpelier, which they will find in to-day's paper,
that they are more called upon to support the
old ticket, the tried and faithful champions of De-
mocracy.
These men have not been chosen for their wealth
or high connections or because their names have
passed into stereotype, as some of our neighbors
would insinuate but for many good and wise !ea-
sOns
l. Because they are, and ever have been con-
sistent Democratic Republicans.
Because they profess the doctrines Of the H.
luslrious Jefferson: have disseminated them, sup
ported them, carried them out, both IN theory and
in practice, in their private lives and public capac
tiles.
3. Because they are the true friends Of The peo-
Pile, and are the open and undisguised enemies of
arislocracy, wherever, and in whatever shape it is
found.
A. Because they have at heart the interests Of
their own State, and will carry out energetic andi
salutary measures 10 reform the administration of
her affairs and are willing to beslow the best pow
ers of their minds for her honor, and to advance
her prosperity.
8. Because they are opposed TO chartered mo-
nopoes IN every form, TO credit systems, to the
runous policy Of Il wing administration.
6. Bee, they are pledged to, and will pursue
n course of legislation by which the actual expen.
di,ures will be kept within the annual income, and
the debt which now imposes upon us grievious
tax burden. and Is annually increasing, will be an
nually diminished, and the people be saved from
the unnecessary increase of taxation.
7. Because they are the true sons Of democracy,
and will carry out her principles, which are ever
advancing onward in the march of improvement,
and aim to secure "Ihe greatest amount of GOOD
10 The greatest NUMBER.
s. Because they are opposed 10 the present fed
eral wing party who have always opposed The in
tcrests Of the country and advanced those Of the
rew,-Iending its power TO protect and advance
the corporate interests Of speculative capitalists,
disTeganding the great common nlesess of the pco-
so unwisely and lavshly us to the Stale in debt
to the amount of l56 900. and an interest liab-
ty of 900 nearly, and increasing yearly at tho
rate of $50, 900.
9. Because they are opposed TO this same party,
that has administered our government for many
years, and refused to enact laws, TO make specua-
tors in Bank stock liable for the whole amount of
their issues, thus giving them the power to trick
and grind the industrious man out of his hard earn-
nss, justil, ing the suspension Of specie payment,
by refusing TO enforce the penalty against the banks
in that case made and provided, thus making cor
porate power supreme over the power Of the
people.
10. Because they are opposed TO the bank party
that chartered and upheld these institutions, and
used them TO the utter prostralon Of the vital in
terests of the country.
