committee, TO be appointed by the dele
gates from the several counties, to nominate a
State ticket, was ordered, and the Convention
adjourned until half past one.
In the afternoon, the nominating committee
came in and reported
IIoRATIo NEEDHAn, for Governor.
DANIEL RoBrRTs, Jr. for 1t. Governor, and
JosEPH POLAND, for Treasurer
and the nominations were unanimously adopted
and honored with three chces each.
Mr. Needhdm was called out Van Buren, was
killed of by slavery by tho Polk Convention Of
1914, and Mr. N. said he then quit the locofoco
party and joined the aboltionists. As an anti.
slavery man he was liberal, however, and might
possibly in some circumstances bring himself 10
support even a stakeholder; but the case would
be very strong ono. lie was confident the
union TO- day was not coalition in the bad sense
Of the term, but all should act honestly up 70
their professions: be should at least be faithful
to the platform, however much he nigh, fall
short Of others in qualifications for the Office Of
Governor.
After some further kissing Of the bride, the
Convention broke up.
Now, what Of the coalition7 Two good thing,
undoubtedly. The first that Vermont Is clear
" anti slavery for the present. There can be
no contest, in Vermont, on that question, until
the locoiocos play false. They are prepared for
that in case OF necessity; the announcement Of
Mr. Thrall that the Stare SAFES are 10 take care
Of emancipation; the announcement Of Mr. Chit.
tenden, that no free soil party isnquircd to Keep
slavery out of California and New Mexico; the
announcement Of Mr. Needham that he can pos.
sibly vote for Shareholder, and the excuse Of
MIR Villas that the Hunkers now 90 against slave
ry because the South did not elect Casual are
just 20 many hinges on which they can take a
new iurn whenever the interests OF the party re-
, quire il. STILL they are bound for the present to
anti-slavery ground and that is good Another
good tlng is, that there are now but ttro yarties
in the State--no triangular warfare-no con-
tests without victory one way or the other
We like that: there Is a chance for fair fight,
and spur for an energetic onei and all we have
now to say 10 the Wings is simply this put on
your armor at once; equip yourselves like men;
,, conquer, rs you certainly can il you WILL or eke
be prepared to receive a handsome defeat, for
/; which you will have nobody to blame but your
] selves The locos have played their par, we'll
The Wings have only 10 do their part as well
, and Vermont will stand even more surely and
firmly Wing than she has done of late.
