UNION in VERMONT.


seperate State conventions were held by the
two disvisions of the Democratic Party in YER
mont, at Montpelier on the LIST inst. But leei-
ing that the differences which have hitherto
divided them in their action were not real,
the preliminaries for a " union" were agreed
upon and the follow ng tickets composed
wholly Of free soil Democrats, was nOmlna-
ted.
Governor-Horlto Needham, Of Bristol
Lieut., Gou-Daniel Roberts, Jr. Manchester;
Treaarer-Josepb Poland Montpelier.
The following resolutions are also adopted
by which, it will be seen that the Buffalo
platform is fully re-afirmed:
Resoloed, That Liberty is q right inherent
and inalienable in man, and that herein all men
are equal.
Resoluci, That to secure the blessings OF
Liberty was one great object for which the
Constitution Of the United States was ordain-
ed.
ResolUed, That as Liberty is the clearest
right and dearest interest Of the individual
and its security the highest duty of the body
polite, we declare, as the first point and arti-
Gle in this organization, that American Slave
ry is a great evil and wrong, which ought to
be repented-o of and abandoned.
Resolged, That we claim no authority in the
Federal Government 10 abolish Slavery in the
several States, but we do claim for it constr
%tutional power perpetually to prohibit the IN
PRODUCTION of Slavery into territory now Free
and aboli, h it wherever, under the j%urisdic-
ton of Congress, it exists.
Resolued, That this power ought immediate
ly to be exercised by prohibiting the intro
duction and existence of Slavery in New
Mexico and California, in abolishing Slavery
and the Slave Trade in the District of Column
bia, on the high seas, and wherever, under the
Constitution, it can be reached.
Resolved, That no more Slave States should
be admitted into the Federal Union.
ResolUed. That the Government ought to re-
turn to its ancient policy, MOTTO extend, nation
alize, or encourage, but limit, ~locali2e and dis
courage Slavery.
Resolred, That we discover in the acts of
the present Administration no indications OF
| friendship to the cause Of Freedom.
ResOlUed, That we will adhere firmly to the
principles here proclaimed, regardless Of the
"indignant frowns'' of a slave-holding Execu-
tive, and unawed by the fear of being disturb
ed in the defence of the fundamental doctrines
Of Republican Freedom.
With this example before them-which pro-
badly would not as soon have been afforded
by the democracy of Vermont, had not the
two conventions been called on the same day
and at the same time-the democracy ofNew
| York will not hesitate to condemn the call for
a State Convention at Syracuse on the 9Th of
September as at least unwise. Every friend
Of democracy, who desires to see its princi-
pies triumphant, cannot but rejoice that Yer.
mont, like Wisconsin, has given proofs Of at
tachment for those principles by conserving to
forget past differences and uniungin their sup
port.
The rivalry in Wisconsin and Vermont be.
tween the W sections of the party last fall
was as enthusiastic as in New York-and YET
ia Wisconsin and Vermont, wise c%ounsels have
at legth prevailed, and henceforth we may
look to those States for renewed energy in the
support of the cherished principles of democ.
racy, which will carry future action in tn Ell
behalfto successful issue.-Dem, Amer.
