by principle nor precedent. that II is not
within the Constitutional power Of Congress
and that il cannot be lawfully effected, with
out the consent Of the several States OF the
Union, individually expressed.
Resoived, That the people of Vermont
ought, through their legislature, soleinny to
demonstrate against the annexation of Texas
and TO signify TO Congress, that they will not
recognize the authority of that body TO adj
NIT any foreign state or power TO the priv
leges of this Union, without the consent oil
its members.
Resolved, That in the administration oil
the financial concerns of the State, we hold
20 the strctest economy consistent with a
I just and honorable maintenance Of all the
interests Of the State, and a fair compensa-
ton to the public seryants-equally removed
! from that extreme which would lead 10 a
scramble for office amongst unworthy men,
and that which would con6ne il TO the rich
alone.
ResOlccd, That the interests of education
are not only Of the highest, but Of 'qudL I'M
pOrfdncc, TO every individual in the State,
and should command the earnest and united
efforts of every citizen TO cherish, improve
aud sustain all the means Of public nstruc-
ton.
Resolged, therefore, That we regard the
recent attempt, by a state convention of
another party, to make the disposition of the
School fund political question, as an act
Of gross injustice to the party which we rep
resent, and Graught with the greatest danger
to the cause Of Education.
Resoired, That we recommend TO every
freeman in the state thoroughly to examine
the operation of the "SchooI Fund" so call
ed, and to act upon il independent alike of
party dictation, party prejudices, and party
interests.
ResOiccd, That the administration ofGov
Paine has been in every respect such as TO
meet our cordial appreciation, aud to estab-
lish The wisdom of the nomination by virtue
Of which he has twice received the support
Of the Wing party; and that we hereby ten
der to him. on his voluntary retirement from
the post he has so honorably held. the assu-
rance of our continued confidence and re-
spcci.
ResOlued, That the administration of John
Tyler, by reason Of the entirely unexampled
periidy OF It's head, has become bye-word
and reproach; aud that upon him has fall
en- the punishment which invariably follows
the baseness of ingraiitude and lreachery. in
the undisguiscd contempt Of all good men.
Mr. Clarke Of Brandon introduced the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
ResOiUod, That we present the names Of
Hon. JOHN MATTOCKS. Hon. HOR-
ACE EATON, and Hon. JOHN SPAL-
DING, for the suiIrages of the freemen of
Vermont for the Offices Of Governor, Lieut..
Governor aad Treasurer, in the entire con-
fdence that they will receive tina, suffrage.
and by their devotion TO the true interests
of the state, justify the confidence thus re-
posed in them.
