The County Convention.

We publish The following remarks from the Bellows
Falls Gazette, the resolution passed al County
Convention, relative TO the organization Of future
Conventions.
We regret very much that our friend Moore should
have INDUCED aud expressed the feelings and opinions
contained in this article. The resolution referred TO
passed almost unanimously afler foil, frank, and
long discussion. and we hoped had settled the ''vexed
question:" at least, till the system WINS tried.
We do not now propose to discuss this matter, we
shall only say, that the insnuations aud accusations
OF our friend Moore In bis article as 10 particular
tives and influences are unworthy Of ha candor, and
are, as we believe, entirely gratuitous and unfounded
p ORGANIZATION oP rHE CouETY CorvsErioN.-
Persons who attended the County Convention, al
Fayetteville, know by what influence and by whose
votes the revolution OF Mr. kirkland passed, rela
tive to the future organization Of County Conventions
We do not call 10 question the motives Of the movers
andsuppoTtefs Of that resolution will not say
but the basis recommended is the most equal and
the most just which could be devisrd-and no one can
doubt for moment that is OIL democratic for

Committee may happen to be appointed who will be
willing To take the responsibility, tie pENocRATIc
responsibility OF calling Convention for this County
and OF telling BfatIrboFo TO send II delegates, being
one more than come in IRON Athens, Brookine,
Dover and Grafton altogether, and suppose these four
towns refuse to all but choose 10 call another
convention and act en.masse, what will the town OF
Bratteboro say TO such movement? Say BTattlebo-

IL has been asserted that last year portion Of the
county, determined to put down the recommendation
Of the committee for thsi Tine assembled BY agree
ment, for the purpose Of outvotine those who were
disposed 10 obey the recommendation OF the County
Committeeman that they did ouivoie them This
assertion is uniounded such understanding exist
ed, no such attempt made. The PEOPLE may as
semble and they will have right do, when they
think that attempts made deprive them ol their
privieges-snd when they ascertain that any faction
attempts TO thrust nominations upon them which are
not satisfactory, they ~ very likely to do az Mey

Blythe Published proceedings OF the State Con-
Eenion il will be that the ever ready and un-
conquered Wings Of Vermont are again in the field,
and are once more ausying themselves to meet in
aibeeoming manner the onslaught Of those who
would subvert the reigns OF northern. freemen, and
who, for the sake Of party, would sacrifice our
dearest interest and place US with themselves al the
feet OF their masters-the Locofoco Slave Party
Of The South
II will be seen that the Wing State Ticket is
changed only in one single particular from that OF
last year; and We can most oheerfully recommend
this ticket TO the hearty support Of all who really
feel for the dignity and interests OF the Green Noun
tain State. OF HoRAcE EaroS and Of LEONARD
SARGENT il is unnecessary for US TO speak. The
vote Of Vermont Al the las, election was expressive
OF the high regard in which these men and the
principles they advocate are held by our freemen ;
and the administration Of affairs during the time in
which they have been in Office. has been such as TO
warrant the voters OF Vermont ia extending to them
their suffrage in the coming election.
While we regret the declinaiure Of Mr. Jewett to
serve longer in the important and responsible sta
lion which he has so ably and faithfully filed for the
past yearwe cannot but congratulate all in the fact
that the management Of the Treasury Department
OF the State is likely to fall into competent and
Trustworthy hands All who are in any way ac-
quainied with the general and business character Of
GEoaeE HowEs will readily vouch for the faithful
performance Of the trust which the Wings of Yer
