ORANGE COUNTY.

We are under many obligations to our friends
in this County, and hope they will be soon bles-
sed with performance of sound political prin-
ciples in the administration of their County af-
fairs. Freemen of Orange, you never had bet
ter time to exert yourselves TO redeem the Coun-
ty, and you never had stronger inducement;
for modern democracy never appeared more obi
Gus to the people than it does now. The gen.
tlemen put in nomination tor your support are all
sound practical men of high moral character
men of talents and highly intelligent Col.
PRICHARD, of Bradford, is well known to you as
thorough business man, and whose large prac-
tlcal experience would enable him TO confer hon
or on the County and State. DR.. CHANDLER, of
Tunbridge, is one of the most popular and sue
cessful physicians in the State, and his general
acquaintance with the people and business of the
County would render him eminently qualified TO
discharge the dnties of a Senator. l.. d. HER.
RICK, ESQ., is one of the largest and best farmers
in the County. He works on the farm daily
yet he possesses intelligence OF a high ORDER
He is we'll known as the son of "Father Her
rick" Revolutionary soldier OF great popularity.
In conversation with Mr. Herrick, we found him
extremely thorough in his views of the leading
political doctrines Of the Wing party. Protec-
ton to American free labor and anti slavery prin-
ciples he Justly considers inseparable. No doubt
this is the view Of all the candidates, as well as
of the great body of the wing party in the free
States. Freemen of Orange County, rally for
your principles and for your candidates, who, if
elected, will be SO well qualified to carry them
out. By proper exerlions, we believe you can
elect them UindSor Journal.

Wing Nominations.

We this week insert the Wing nominations for
State officers, and Senatorial candidates for the
counties of Windsor and Orange.
1t will be seen that the State Ticket is the
same as that of last year, with the exception of
the candidate for State Treasurer GEO. HowEs,
ESQ, Of Montpelier.
The ticket is every way worthy the support of
the Freemen Of Vermont. The candidates for
Governor and Lieut.. Governor have long been
tavorably known TO the citizens of the State, and
their experience the past year has fully proved
that confidence has been well placed in their in.
tegrity and ability. The candidate for Treasur-
er is somewhat younger, and has had less politi-
cal experience but the able manner in which
he has discharged the duties of Cashier of the
Montpelier Bank, and the high reputation of his
private character, entltle him to the confidence
Of the people of the Stale.
Our readers are referred TO the proceedings of
the State Convention in this weeks Journal
The Resolutions therein published, embrace the
true Wing doctrines true doctrines for the
State, and for the UnIon The people of Yer
mont will, we are confident, fully sustain them.
The nominees for Windsor County Senators,
it will be seen, the same as last year. There
was no opposition to them at the Convention, and
we have no doubt Of their election by large
majority. They are sound in their political sen
timents, and worthy the support OF the iutelli-
gent fIeemen of the county.

The State Convention.

This body assembled at Montpelier, on We'd
nesday of last week. and as our readers are al
ready aware, nominated HORACE EATON, LEON
ARD SARGEANr and GEORGE HowEs for the Of
fees of Governor, Lieut.. Governor and Treasur-
er, for the ensuing year.
The ticket is the same one presented for the
suffrages of the freemen last year. with the ex-
ception of Mr.. HowEs, who received the nonii-
nation for Treasurer in place of the present
faithful incumbent, f. p. JEwETT, Esq, who de-
clined denomination, in consequence of the
pressing nature OF his own business engagements.
He retires with but brief experience in the
cares and perplexities of Office, but enough prob
ably, 10 satisfy him that that of Treasurer, at
least is no sinecure Mr.. HowEs will bring To
the discharge of his responsible duties, business
habits and abilities of rare order, and such as
will do credit to the discernment of the Convrn-
ton that has placed him in nomination.
OF our candidates for Governor and Lieut..
Governor, Horace EATON and LEONARD SAR .
GEANT, we need not say word. They have too
often and too long been the approved servants of
the people, to need any pancgyrc OF ours. Gov
ernor EAToN's fidelity to the public trusts that
have heretofore been conferred upon him, the
eminent ability with which he has performed the
services connected with them, and the popular
appreciation that he has received from all parties
constitute the best argument that can be framed,
in favor OF his reelection His uDflinching at
tachment 10 the great and distinctive principles
of the Wing party is as universally conceded as
are the kindness of his heart and the urbanity OF
his official department.
Mr.. SARGEANT is also well known to the peo-
Pile of Vermont both as an enlightened and ju-
dicous legislator, and as the courteous and I'M
partial presiding officer of their Senate
The emphatic judgment of Vermont in con
demnaton of this nefarious and detestable war
and of the measures and policy of the admins
traton who thrust it upon the country, will be
pronounced in the triumphant election of these
gentlemen, unless it is prevented by that portion
of the freemen who claim to be the special friends
of Freedom and Peace!

WHO PAYS THE DEBT !!
DRAFTS ON PosTERITY.

The Washington correspondent OF the Even
ing Post thus speaks of the War:
"Vorilv the road to the halls of the Montezu-
mas appears to be a path of gold, the pavement
of which, however, comes out of the pockets of
the multitude. War is generally popular a
musement, but like other exciting games, 1t is
awfuly expensive. 1t is expected that the Mex
lean people and government Will finally pay the
damages May be they will: but if the bill
does not take the form of draft upon the next
generation Of the American people, | shall be
disappointed. Perhaps we shall receive an un
limited order upon the undeveloped riches of the
Mexican mines, which cannot be cashed without
more trouble than it will occasion to subdue the
propretors of them"
Had this been said by Wing, it would prob
ably be considered as "givlng aid and comfort"
to the enemy. As it is found in an administra-
ton paper it was doubtless not written by
Mexican, or an alien enemy. BE that as it may.
The war is swelling up bill which will bank
rupt any Treasury which is only supplied by n
miserable theoretic legislation falsely called rev.
enue law. The expenses of making these for
eign Gonquests the cost Of getting to the wealth
of the enemy's country, and nsurping his donin
ion in his own Cities is promising TO be enor-
nous. Extravaganza, squanderng, ruinous
prices for army supplies, will accumulate to an
extent which must beggar the National Excheq-
uer, and either call for evyng new duties to an
indefinite amount, or transmit debt which must
be paid by the generations which shall COME
The writer in the Post speaks of debt which
the present age will not see liquidated.
Should the war entail this advantage, together
with others which are more obvious, it will give
the administration of Mr.. Polk an infamous no.
toriety which he did not contemplate, when he
plunged the nation in hostities.
1t was one of the principles much considered
by Mr. Jefferson, that every generation should pay
its ot0n debts. 1t would be legacy which no
government would be ambitious to leave 10 flu
ture generations, to leave debt contracted by a
blind and weak policy which it required all the
efforts of the administration to sustain and de-
fend. The course Of the present dynasty is put
ting at nought all the boosted principles of the
party IN power, and it would not be strange, al
ter what has happened to find them willing to
contract runous obligation which the present
age cannot pay, but which must be transmitted
an inheritance of national debt to be wrought GU,
by the labor OF posterity. -HaHford Comant.

Met at Danvllle, July 8, and was temporarily
organized by the choice Of Geo. B. Chandler,
Chairman, and II. II. Domine, Secretary.
The Committee to nominate candidates for
County Senators, presented the names of
JAMES D. BELL, of Walden, and
ROBERT WHITELAW, of Ryegate;
which nomination was unanimously confirmed
by the Convention.
The Committee on Resolutions reported the
following, which, after remarks by Messrs. Hale
and Gilchrist of Barnet, Jewett and Morrill, of
st. Johnsbury and Willard of Lyndon, were a
dopted.
Resolved, That in the general intelligence and
prosperity of the citizens of Vermont, over ma
ny of her sister States more favored by nature,
we behold such an eXemplificaton of what I'M
interrupted Wing policy may do as should give
us continued confidence in the principles of our
party and stimulate every true Wing to use all
honorable exertions that she may continue to be
as she ever has been, Wing State.
Resolved, That thong famine in foreign
lands may produce temporary high prices for the
products Of agriculture, it is no guarantee for
prosperity, and we still adhere with undmnished
confidence 10 the policy of protecting our do
mestlc industry, as indispensable alike 10 the in
dependence and responsibility of our aborng
population, as to the general prosperity of our
country.
leving the Sub-Treasury machinery of our Gov
eminent is vastly expensive in its public opera
tions and coTupting in its hidden mysteries +;
and we behold with some alarm the time ap-
preaching when the mislortunes of other nations
will no longer supply it with gold and silver, as
then It's ineXorable requirements must be met and
felt by our own people.
Resolved, That the legitimate policy Of Re-
public is peace that war is the greatest of all
evils, and ought not to be wagod except in cases
of necessity. 1t is with nations as with individ-
uals, better to suffer wrong than to do wrong.
Resolved, That the acquiring OF foreign terri
tory by conquest and connecting it with our own,
considering the great extent of our country, is
impoi,ic, and endOngers the prosperity of our
Union.
Resolved, That we will never consent that
our government shall acquire foreign territory by
conquest, 10 establish where it does not now ex-
list, the institution of slavery, that scourge OF
mankind, to which all our free institutions arc
directly opposed, and thereby overwhelm and
coarol the measures OF our government, and the
councils of our country.
Resolved That we view with alarm the con
tnued efforts put forth by The South to prevent
the extension of the area of freedom, and cause
an enlargement of the area of slavery and tina

FRANKLIN COUNTY.

Tic Wings held their convention on the LIST
inst. and nominated
Geo. w. Foster of Swanton,
Rufus Hamilton of Montgomery, and
Lucius r. Beamau of Fairfax,
for Senators. Homer E. Royce, Esq, on behalf
of the Committee on resolutions, reported the
following, which were adopted:
Resolved, That the existing war with Mexico
was not founded in such necessity as will Justify
Christian Nation for resorting to arms against
q sister republic.
Resolved That although we rejoice in the
bravery and skill of the officers and soldiers Of
our army. we grieve that for the purpose of ex-
tending and perpetuatng a peculiar institution
there should be any sacrifice of human life, or
any addition to our National Debt.
Resolved, That as freemen OF State on whose
soil Slavery has never existed, we cannot d.
recty or indirectly, give aid or comfort to any
scheme having for its object the admission into
the Federal Union of any new State whose Con-
stitution tolerates Slavery.
Resolved, That the present Post Office Law,
which restricts the public press by virtually lay
ing an embargo upon the circulation OF newspa-
pers, is causing ignorance respecting the acts
and opinions of our public servants, and comes
in open conflict with the spirit of free institu-
tons.
Resolved finally That for the principles and
policy of the united Wing party of our country
we entertain strong Northumberland to the
maintenance of those principles aud the promo
ton OF that policy we pledge our hearty and un
ninchilg suppot--believing, as we do, tina
I" in the dark and troubled night that is upon us
there is no Star above the horizon 10 give us

ic Wing party of the United States"

WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

Col Donphan was honorably received by the
people of st. Louis after his pcrous march Of
5000 miles through Mexico. Senator Benton
addressed him, and in reply Col. D. unhostating-
ly declares that the want of success in Mexico
is entirely owing to the lack of force-in other
words to the neglect or the folly of the govern
ment. Read:
"If the honorable Senator's plans had been a.
dopted the war would have terminated long ago.
If our government had placed at the disposal of
Generals Scott and Taylor each twenty thousand
men, they would, ere this, have subdued the
whole Mexican power. To talk about guerilla
warfare is nonsense, against such forces as this.
If Gen. Taylor, with four thousand five hundred
men, whipped Santa Anna at Buena Vista, with
twenty thousand he would have hunted hun down
and crushed him! If Gen. Scott had had suf-
ficient force on his march from vera Cruz to
Mexico to establish line of communication be-
tween his army and Vera Cruz, he would, long
ere this, have marched into the city Of Mexico,
and there dictated the terms of peace.
Fellow citizens! What have we gained by this
war? Of Gen. Taylor can safely speak, hay
ing been through ali his lines of operations lie
has gained four distinguished victories perhaps
the most brilliant victories that have ever been
gained on this continent and yet he has gained
nothing. Why, sir, turning to Mr.. Benton,) Is
it that the efforts of our army are like the efforts
OF levere& patient, who spends all his strength
in spasms, and as soon as they are over, is pros
trated? Amer the brilliant victories which they
have achieved, they have been forced, for want
of men, ammunition, money and conveyaDces, to
lie idle until the enemy have been able to gain
strength anew, and then the battles have to be
fought over again. In our victories nothing has
been gained. Suppose Gen. Taylor remains
where he is, will he have gained any thing? lie
has been there ever since last September, and
unless some better means are afforded him, he
will remain there until next October! The ex-
penses Of this war is enormous. | have been
told that s 100000 week has been paid to sus-
tain the war, and yet Gen. Taylor lies in the We.
ny position where he was eight months ago, and
there he must lie.
Although have not been over Gen. SCOTS
line of operations, yet it is clear that he cannot
sustain himself from his want OF means. lie
may take the city of Mexico, but he cannot sus-
tain himself there take he may, bat it is impos-
sible for him TO keep it. For Santa Anna, al
though he was stoned when he went to the city
Of Mexico, from some cause has gained new
strength, (some have thought that ii arose from
General SCOTS proclamation,) and he will soor
have an army sufficient TO cope with Genera

From the ST. Adams Messenger.
Our Banner thrown to the
RreeZe

AS may be seen by reference to the head of
our editorial culumns, candidates are presented
for the support of the treemen OF Vermont at the
ensuing election. The Convention, the proceed
ings of which are given, was very well attended,
and was characterized with the utmost harmony
and good feeling. The only diversity of opinion
that presented itself was in respect to the selec-
ton of new candidate for Treasurer, the old
one having declined; GEORGE HowEs, Cashier
of the Bank of Montpelier was unanimously
chosen as candidate for this office. Otherwise
the ticket is the same last year, and the hearty
support it received then, and the popular admin
lstration it secured, was sure guarantee that
the duties Of the Convention were not in doubt,
nor our hopes of triumph at the next election c.
quivocal. The ticket is strong one, and with
the united and hearty support of the Wings OF
Vermont, we shall not only maintain our strength
but even diminish that of Locoo coism which
seeks to perpetuate Slavery by war and conquest
Rally, then, and sustain the banner that now
"hangs upon The outer ,rall ~
