THE "CooSs. 1t is amusing 10 witness the no.
ly horror manifested by the locos al the mention OF
the word "Coon." II fills them nj once with fear
and trembling, and they seek to "turn il off," by
pretending to be Disguised at the name One
might reasonably suppose, by the manifestations
exhibited, when the name is introduced, that the
whole party had been severely bitten by the ami
the wound to bleed afresh. Indeed, we have some
recollection that in the fall of 1870, the party was
somewhat roughly dealt with by those, who, for the
time, were called by the name Of the animal which
the locos flung in face. We bore the burden
bravely as also the "hGrd cider" cognomen we re-
ceived at their hands. The "Coon" and the Sci
der worked such destruction to them in the last
Presidential campaign, that are inclined to think
that the next terms of derision they win apply
TO us will be selected with more consideration or,
rather, they will not get up any name 10 give
us, for fear Of the consequences. We think the
name Of Vine, the name which we apply to our
selves, and by which we are at all times willing to
be known, is sufficiently terrible to them The
Wings, we trust, have something of the spirit of
1870 yet left; and the locos may well iremble for
the prosperity of their party when that spirit is
abroad in the land. ''The burnt child breads the
fire, and we know, gentlemen, that you dread the
principles, and the determined energy in main
taining them, that you have heretofore witnessed.
Long may you dread, while your principles are the
same as now.

tcrs is trying hard TO make the different branches Of
the Loco Foco party unite in favor Of the yirgnan
Henr ocos' how fair they have been in the distri-
button Of the spoils. He says.-"So far as the
Democratic party be concerned, the President and
his Cabinet in the disposal of the federal patronage
have dealt literally by the friends OF every candi-
daie-mportnnt and Influential supporters attached
10 each have been preferred, and hold the most re-
sponsible trusts Alltrue--irue as the book. We
congratulate the President, and the heads of the
Departments, in being able 10 divide the federal pa
tronage equally among the friends of the several
Loco Foco aspIranls to the Presidency. An ADM.
rabe display Of wisdom! Can't you see it, friends
of Van Buren,, Calhoun, Buchanan, &c, &c p
and don't you see that for this very reason, you
ought TO support Tyerin preference to any other

we please, there being such good claims upon

choice-and we shall endeavor 10 make the most OF

LIBERIA.-The African Repository for
June contains circular from Mr. Gurley,
the Secretary of the Society, appealing for
pecuniary aid TO the friends Of COLONIZATION,
and stating the following purposes for which
money IS at present wanted
l. To secure the entire line Of the Afri-
can coast from Cape Mount to Cape Palmas,
about three hundred miles. A more extend.
ed line of coast would be desirable, but this
is indispensable, as difficulties have already
risen within these limits between the Colon
ial government and English traders; and as
some twenty tracts have already been pur-
chased by the society on this line, establish
ments Of other nations upon il must occa-
sion perpetual jealousies and disturbances.
1t is believed this object can be effected at
an expense not exceeding $4,000 or So.
900.
2. To open a road to the camwood re-
gions of the interior, thus vastly increasing
the commerce and resources Of the colony,
and extending its influence among the ma
tive tribes. This may be effected at cost
Of from SIS 900 to $4,000.
8. To aid emigration. An expeditions
to sail Immediately from New Orleans, with
60 liberated slaves, Of the estate of the late
Mrs. Read, of Mississippi, the remainder
There being one hundred and thirty in aN)
awaiting another expedition.
Eighteen slaves in Femingsburg, Ken
lucky, to whom freedom was bequeathed BY
their late. master, are expected, should
means be secured, to accompany this eSpe-
dition. They are liable to be sold if not
sent before the close Of the year.
An aged gentleman in Tennessee desires
to send sixty-eight slaves to the colony
worth probably in the market from tweniyio
thirty thousand dollars.
A minister of the gospel in Virginia wish
es to liberate nine slaves, but feels unable 10
defray the expenses of their emigration 10
Liberia, where they have friends, and 70
which they greatly desire to go.
A wealthy gentleman in South Carolina
has long been preparing his slaves for Tree,
dom in the colony, with much snccess, ana
hopes to send them thither the present year.
Many in Tennessee and Virginia entertain
similar sentiments to his, and many free per-
sons of color in those States and elsewhere

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1843-07-28

Resolved, That the prospect of annexipg
Texas TO the United States, while her ener-
gies are depressed, her resources crippled,
her character debased, and her influence
rendered adverse TO the progress OF religious
and civil liberty by reason of the prevalence
Of slavery within her borders-a project the
existence of which recent events leave us
no room to doubts one which it is our
duty to resist with unceasng hostility; aud
that Representative in Congress from the
State Of Vermont who should fail TO oppose
his voice and his utmost influence against
this project, would show himself false to his
constituents, false to the institutions of his
State, and false 10 the FIRST principles Of hui
man freedom.
Resolved, That we cherish sentiments oil
the most implacable hostility TO the insttu-
ton Of domestic slavery. We regard it as
conceived in the accused spirit of Avarice,
and established aud continued in direct and
open violation of those great principles the
assertion and maintenance of which consti-
tuted a noble justification Of, and impaired
a mighty energy to, our own Revolutionary
War. And while we declare our own de-
termination to respect to the utmost the le-
gal and constitutional rights of the South
ern States, we also declare that we hold it TO
be our duty as freemen, and our right guar
anteed by the constitution, to demonstrate or
petition to the National Legislature on this,
and all other subjects bearing upon the Ma
tional interests or The National honor, and
to spare no Just effort to bring the potent in
nuence Of Public Opinion TO the work oil
removing this great National sin.
On motion. the chair appointed Messrs. F..
N. Briggs, Kitiredge and Sargent, COM
mittee to wal; on MIR. Foot TO inform him OF
his nomination.
Upon the appearance of Mr.. Foot before
the Convention, he was most heartily aud
enthusiastically greeted. In his acceptance
Of the nomination, he briefly though warmly
thanked the Convention for the distinguish
ed honor conferred upon him by their ex-
preston Of confidence pledged himself (if
elected) to support to the utmost of his pow
er and ability, the principles of the party
and in speech, marked for its strength, its
beauty and truthful deinea,ion OF the lines
which divide the different parties of the
present day, he for an hour, held the Con-
venton in deep interest and attention.
On notion Resolved, That the proceed
ings Of this Convention be reported and
printed in the different wing papers Of the
district, and thereupon the Convention was
dissolved.
