And the nominations were severally confirmed
by the convention.
An Address, presented by the State Commit
tee. was read, and unanimously adopted as the
Address of the Convention to the Fieemen Of
Vermont, and ordered to be published.
G. w. Grsndey, in behalf of the Committee
on Resolutions, reported the following, which
were ably discussed by Hon. James Bell Of
Walden, Messrs. Morrill, OF Straiord, Stevens
Of ST. Adams, and Brown of Worcester, and
adopted.
Resoired, That the Wings of Vermont
maintain as their great principles, Tariff for
revenue to delTay the necessary expenditures
of Government, discriminating with special
reference TO the protection OF the domestic en-
terprise and labor of our country--a well regu-
lated national currency-a distribution of The
proceeds OF the sales OF the Public Lands a.
mOng the Siates-a single term for the Presi-
dency-a reform of Executive usurpation--
and, generally, an administration of the Federal
government that shall be national and constant
III lis policies, and efficient and economical in
lis execution.
| Resoiued, That the unfortunate result of the
last Presidential election gives no cause of de-
spondency and inactivity to the Wings, but on
The contrary impelS every patriotic citizen to
| hrmer resolution and more watchlu vigilance;
and in reviewing the contest, we are proud of
the principles we protested, and of the manner
in which Vermont sustained them.
Resoired, That the threatened reduction Of
the Tariff by the official organ of the admins
tration, is striking commentary on the hollow
professions OF attachment TO the tariff by the
Locoloco party, and should call forth thesrong
rebuke OF the Northern States at this repeated
attempt TO prevent any settled and permanent
policy of our Government, and TO again pros
trate The free enterprise Of the country at the
foot of the slave power.
Resolved, That tariff with discrimination
for rerenue, is decidedly opposed 10 protection,
and that all the pretences of our political oppo-
nents that they are in favor of discriminating
duties are calculated to deceive and mislead.
Resotued, That the joint resolutions passed
by the Congress Of the U. S. at lis last session.
providing for the annexation OF Texas to the
Union, are palpable violation OF the Federal
Constitution, and are not binding upon Inc
country, and should meet the continued ana
united opposition of the Wing party through
out the Union.
Resoired, That the history Of the late con-
test has proved that il is TO The Wing party
alone that the country can look for any effect
i've opposition 10 the consummatiOn OF the an
nexalion of Texas, and TO the further encroach-
menls of the Slaveocracy, which are alike en-
dangerng the liberties and prosperity OF the
Tree citizens OF the Republic and weakening
the cords hitherto SO strongly binding the PeO-
pie 10 the Constitution and Union; and il has
also proved that the Liberty Party Ga gross
I misnomer,) is guided by selfish and reckless pol
iticians,--is efficient only Tor evil-and is at
once the tool and jest of the Slave party.
Resoiped, That we confidently recommend
10 the freemen OF Vermont the State Ticket
this day nominated, as composed of men Of
tried and eminent ability, and laithfulness.
Resolved, That the Wings Of Vermont will
ever hold in grateful remembrance the patriotic
services of Henry Clay; that their confidence
in his talents and virtues is mistaken by the as
sauts OF his enemies, and should he again be
presented by the Wing party for that office,
which he is so well fitted TO adorn, the " Star
that neVer seis'' shall shed around him its
brightest beams.
Voted, That the proceedings of this Con,
venlion be signed by the officers and published
in all the Wing papers in this State.
Adjourned.
