The committee on resolutions presented the
following resolutions, which were read and ably
discussed by Messrs. Austin, Morrill,, Lyman,
| ard 1ptb nm mir elu Ipr
ted by the meeting.
ReSolred, That in the legislation of Vermont,
Wing now and Wing always, we repose the
fullest confidence, believing that in the encour-
agement of public Improvement, as well as pri-
vate economy in liberal support of public
schools, full devolopement OF the riches of our
soil, aud division Of the various branches of
labor, lies all our power to compete with the world
around us.
RESOLVED, That, though famine in foreign
lands may produce temporary high prices tor
the products of agriculture, and though the e.
nornous National Debt incurred and rapidly in
creaslng may imperatively demand an early and
large increase of the rates of duties on foreign
imports, thereby in effect postponing the quest
ion of protection alone, we yet see our only safe
reliance in Il permanent arrangement of protec-
tioh to all branches of industry that require it,
in Revenue Tariff.
Resolved, That we have good reasons for be-
lleving the Subreasury machinery of our gov
eminent is vastly expensive in its public opera
lions and corrupting IN its hidden mysteries; and
we behold with some alarm the time approach
Ing when the mlsiortunes of other nations will
no longer supply it with gold and silver, as then
Its memorable requirement must be met and felt
by our own people,
Resolved, That we earnestly call the attention
of those who were recently so much alive to an
alledged mortgage resting on our State, in con-
sequence of certain State House Debt-now
no more-to the fact that of the one hundred
millions already expended in the present unpop-
ular war with Mexico, the state of Vermont lies
under similar mortgage to pay directly or indi-
rectly not less than the sdm of Iico Millions OF
Doldrs-a sum that may be more than quldru-
pied before Mr.. Polk, with all his proconsuls,
will have conquered peace" of Mexico.
ReSotred, That 1t does not yet appear whether
the Thee Millions sent out by Polk for the pur-
pose of 6ribing Santa Anna has gone boot
less errand or not, but we are greatly inclined TO
think It's success has rested on ,UoOdenieg.
RESOLVED, That Treason is defined by the con-
stitutlon, but federalism defines itself by its in
depreciation of the same MISUNDERSTANDING
constructive power and prerogaive in behalf of
the Executive to do all things a king and con-
queror may do beyond the boundaries of the
country, and denying all authority to do or per-
f init anything TO be done at home within our own
limits for the common welfare, evincing clearly
what party is most thoroughly stepped with the
highest toned and most offensive dogmas of an
cient federalism, and, if this be treason" mod
f ern democracy may make the most of it,"
f RESOLVED, That while it appeared that General
, Taylor was in danger of an overwhelming force,
f we felt ready to jump to his rescue while it
seemed probable that the exasperated Mexicans
, might rise and attack us, we stood resolved to
defend our soil "however bounded = but it has
since been demonstrated that Taylor cannot be
overwhelmed by the enemy nor defeated by the
neglect of locofoco administration; that the
r Mexcans had to be chafed into the war; and
their officers brbed to fight: under such circum-
stances the honor OF our nation will not be con-
> suited by farther dismemberment of neigh
boring Republic, just emerging from barbarism
and monarchy, and anxously striving TO copy the
main features Of our own institutions nor will
our own dignity be consulted by continuance
OF bloody conflicts with people too weak 10
cope with in arms and too poor to satisfy
moderate scheme Of plumber ;--and we now there
: FORE feel it to be our duty 10 support those men
} only for office who will honestly SEEK and make
an "honorable peace" with Mexico, and such
peace as will not be by-word and ieproach to
, the true friends of republicansm throughout the
) world.
RESOLVED, That the names we present on our
Senatorial ticket are in the highest sense deser-
wing the support of the Freemen of Orange
County, and while a triumphant election would
send thrill Of Joy throughout the State to the
hearts of all Wings, it would be also our high
est honor.
