New-York daily tribune., 1844-07-01
Vermont In the Field.

mids, Of soul.stirring tumult, 1 viii drop you
line concerning the State Convention which mas
been holden in this place to day. It's nominal
object. as you know, was to nominate State Otii-
GERS and Electors Tor the approaching E-ecuoh'
which has been accomplished and we have no"
only to wait far the appointed tlme' when uie
Green Mountain Bows Will again cover their little
State with glory. as in the days OF the Revolt
ton. I have seen enough Of Burlington during
the past week to make me enthusiastic IN us
praise. but cannot find words TO express my al
fection and regard for the State, since l have
heard some twenty thousand OF her yeonanry
shouting for the triumphant success OF Henry
CLAY Three cheers for Vermont. Her Wings
are es numerous as the leaves upon the t7ees'and
Ike these productions Of the vegetable world IN
their own sphere, they cas-! protecting SHADE"
oye. the institutions OF our country.
But want 70 give you an idea OF the mighty
host which has thronced the streets OF Burlington
today. After the various delegations were count
ed. the whole multitude formed themselves INTO
procession and paraded through the town, led by
band OF one hundred splendid musicians, while
all along the line might be seen that paragon
of banners, theAmercanfl flag waving IN the breeze.
| cannot give minute description OF the whole
pageant, but the following portions OF 1t should
be mentioned In large conveyance, drawn by
six black horses. thirteen a glorious number that
old Revolutionary soldiers were seated, whose
hearts painted with emotion and whose eyes BEAM
ed brightly as they thought OF their dear country,
and the unexampled prosperity and drenown which
are 10 be It's inheritance from the Wing policy OF
Government And then came caTalcade OF
three hundred horsemen, whose homes are among
the mountains and whose hands are hardened by
honorable toll. And not one Of them but looked
as if he would divide his last loaf OF bread with
poverly-stncken exile from foreign CLINE
Noble men May their virtues be rememeered
so long as their native mountains endure =
Another interesting picture was KIND OF ARK
laden with one hundred farmers and drawn by
twenty four red oxcn-young fat and beautiful as
were ever seen. The standard bearer was hon.
Ezra Mech, who is the proprietor and conductor
of grazing farm Of nearly three thousand acres,
and whose cattle and sheep are counted by thou
sands. On one side OF the banner appeared the
cottage OF the Ashland Farmer, and on the other
all the agricultural embems peculiar TO Vermont.
Another novelty was a beautiful sail-ooat named
Henry Clay, which was drawn by four white
horses the sails were set. the colors flying, and
midway up the mast were a couple OF sailor boys
and in the boat some half dozen full grown and
handsomely dressed sailors, whose songthemes
were of the sea and OF their country.
After the business of the Convention was done
the speaking commenced, and able addresses
we're delivered by Senator Phelps, Representative
Marsh. James 5. Thayer, of your city, and
other distinguished individuals. The whole
affair was conducted IN most spirited man
ner, and went off with great eclot Even the
echo of the past commotion is almost doasen
ing Three cheers, and SIX more upon tnat, say
I, for the Green Mountain Boys and their gallant
little State Truly your,. c. l..
