THE NOMINATIONS.

The proceedings oflhc Wing State Con.
vention, held Mt Woodstock, on Thursday
last, will be found in another column Of this
paper
This Convention was much more MI.
merously attended than any one could have
expected, and its action was as harmonious,
and as cordially responded to, as the pro.
eecdings of such bodies usually are. |.
will be seen that our entire State ticket is
changed. This we believe is a thing en-
trely unexpected BY large majority Of
the whig voters Of Rutland Counly-and
indeed We think we may safely say that the
personal feelings ola large majority Of the
Wing voters Of the strong Wing Counties
Of Windsor, Rutland and Addison, were
not entirely gratfied with all the nomina-
tons made Windsor County would, IN
doubtodly, have been gratfed in the ,eec
ton of one OF her own distinguished sons as
a candidate for Governor, while we hest
tate not TO say that the decided preference
of Rutland and Addison Countess could it
have been expressed, would have been de-
cnred for the nomination Of our present
able Chief ugistrste.
But these, as we have before said, arc
considerations only ola personal character
1t is not singular that the many warm
friends ofthc gentleman brought forward
by Windsor County, should wish to soc
him placed in a position so honorable
nor is it q thing to DO wondered at iha, the
many friends OF William Shade IN Rutland
and Addison Coun,ies-his old Congress.
onal Dstrict-should wish to hold on to
one who has so long so ably, and so faith
fully served them in the different stations in
which their votes have heretofore placed
him. As, however, the larger portion OF
the delegates in attendance from other sec
Ii ons Of the State were in favor OF placing
DIR. Eaton in nomination, and as the entire
ticket was TO be changed, We rejoice sin,
cerely that the change has been so well
made. The ticket as presented is an IN.
exceplionabe one in every respect, and we
doubt not that all good Wings will give it
their hearty support
The Hon. HoRAcr EATON has long serv
cd the people Of Vermont as Lieutenant
Governor; and as a presiding officer Of the
Senate, and in the fulflmoni OF all other
duties OF his office, he has acquitted him
self with high credit, asd to tho entire sat
isfaction Of all his friends end supporters
His genllemanly department, his urbanily
Of manners, his requirements as a scholar,
and the high tone Of his character, has en-
deared HIM TO all who have ever formed
his acquaintance and surely such a man
should receive the hearty and united sup
port of the Wing party Of Vermont for any
Office, when brought into nomination.
The nomination also Of the Hon Leon
3 ava ohI thti 10 q NalihtAHht iol lJiNuktuuu
Governor, is one that should, and will, Civ
full satisfaction to the Wing party through
out the State; and we have no hesitation IA
saying that be will receive the cordial cup
port OF all true wings
But let II not be forgotten tina, olher than
persona considerations should impeI the
Wings OF Vermont to act in the present cri
sn ofahairs We have all seen the weak
ness and imbe1iliy Of the present admins
iralion-and we have seen, too the hollow

interests Of The country. Even now, ID,
