UNC0NQUERED VERMONT!

The Wing State Convention which re-
Gently assembled at Montpelier and NOM
mated the present able and faithful State
Officers for re-elecllon, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That the Wings of Vermont
maintain, as their great princip pies. a Ia
riff for Revenue to deiray the necessary
expenditure Of Government, discriminate
ing with special reference to the Pro.ec>
ton of the Domestic Enterprise and Labor
of our Coun,ry--a well regulated Nation.
al Currency-a Distribution of the Pro-
ceeds Of the sales of the Public Lands a
mong the Sta'es-a Single Term for the
Presidency--a Reform of the Executive
Usurpation- and generally, an Admins
tralion of the Federal Government tina,
shall be Naiiona! consistent IN its policy,
and efficient and economical in its execu-
ton.
Resolved, That the unfortunate result
of the late Presidential election gives no
cause of dependency and inactivity to the
Wings, but on The contrary, impels every
patriotic citizen to irmer resolution and
more wa,chlul vigilance; and in reviewing
the contest, we are proud of the princi-
Piles we professed,, and of the manner in
which Vermont sustained them.
Resolved, Tha. with discrimination for
revenue, is decidedly opposed to Protec-
ti"n, and that all the pretences ofour po-
lilical opponents, that they are in favor
of discriminating duties, are calculated to
deceive and mi lead.

Late from Mexico.
Another Revolution.

The internal condition of Mexico is in
IA sad state of disorder. Every arrival
from that country brings us an account of
another province having rebelled agains,
the constituted authorities and overlhrown

from Tobasco, which has followed the
example of California, and overlhrown
the Central system. But few particulars
have been received; but, from a letter, il

From these repeated revolls in Mexico.
1t is evident that The government, of tina,

internal disorders. What a condition is

LETTER OF CASSlUS M. CLAY.

HoRAcE GREELEY, Eso.-The deep
elected by my apparent willingness to
resort to the Duel, displayed in the first
number of The True American, notwilh-
standing the very peculiar and trying cir
cumstances IN which have been placed,
have led me to give this much debated
subject my most serious and deliberate
reflection. Whilst shall ever contend
for the right of elf-defence where the civ
il power cannot or will not come to my
rescue; so where the laws are sufficient
for protection and the public sentiment
enforce them, there am willing to con.
TESS that the Duel cannot be justified
Having fully tested the legal and moral
power of my native State, to which |
owe inviolate allegiance, feel that owe
it to her-to our National Religion-and
to the Spirit of the Age, that should
subjec. myself 10 the sole protection, |
therefore formally pledge myself never
again to offer or accept challenge; or
in any manner to give duelling my coun
tenance or support. Believing that this
annunciasion would not only be agreea-
BILE to you but to many friends who have
been so kind as to manifest an interest in
my humble fortunes, associated in some
slight degree with the cause of Republ-
canism and rational Liberty, ! venture to
ask for this note an insertion in your
wide spread columns.

FoR THE WIG.
The Candidate for Congress

As the Congressional Cons
vention for this District is shortly to as
semble, permit me to call the attention of
the Delegates from the several counties,
and particularly those from this county,
to the gentleman who in my opinion, as
well as in the opinion of many of the lea
ding wings of Cecil, should be selected
as the wing candidate. Quite number
of the prominent members of our party,
indeed, all to whom have spoken on
the subject, agree with me in thinking that
Francis A. ELLIS, Esq, of this
county should be chosen.
Tina. it would be as proper to take the
candidate from Cecil as from any of the
other counties none will deny-and in
that there are many good and weighty rea-
sons why lie should be chosen from a.
mongst her indomilabe wings we think
most persons will agree.
1t is needless for me to speak of Mr..
Ellis to the citizens of this county-they
know of his great services to the party
Of his firmness as wing, and Of his aoili>
~ as man. To the wings of the other
counties it can with confidence be said,
that he possesses the industry, talents and
qualifications 20 make him a useful and
able representative, and one that would
reflect credit upon the District. trus.
the convention may select him, as with
him for the can lidale our success would
be certain.
