TIE PROTEST.

Some little ificulty has arisen in the LeglS-
lature in consequence Of the presentation OF a
PROTEsr by hsDninOrity Ofthe Legislature in
the case Ofth' election Of Judge of Probate in
Bennington county. The decision Of the pre-
siding officer the Joint Assembly prohibiting
the introduction or even the reading, of the do
cument, we think was unfornate, and not ogree-
able to Parliamentary usage, and certainly not
according to The presidents in Vermont. A re-
currence to the journals show that the practice
since 1911, has universally been to receive pro-
tests and enter them upon the journals agreeably
tothe provisions of the Constitution. We have
not time nor room to go into detail in this mat
ter only to express an opinion that the protest
should have been received, as the most success
fol way to dispose of the subject and as a right
which belongs to the minority.

WThe Montreal Courier of the 9th

OF the community, and the very minor diff

important question. Six months ago the

remains but one to be considered. 1t pro-
pounds sweeping and important change
in our political and social condition invoV.

in "friendiy and peaceful separation from

OLD LINE DEMOCRACY.

The old line Democracy held their State Con-
vention at the State House, on the 18th ult, to
reorganizc what is claimed to be the genuine,
true Democratic party IN Vermont. After the
Convention was organized, a committee on res
oluions was appointed, and committee to nom
mate State committee for the ensuing year
Adjourned to o'clock, P. M.
In the evening, Mr.. Adams, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, reported a series of
resolutions defining the positions of parties from
the first formation of the Government down to
the present time, declaring that the issues which
have separated meD, hauc their origin IN the NOR.
al constitution Of man, and that neither time nor
progress can SO far settle them as to obviate the
necessity of keeping them distinctly in view,
watched by sleeplcss vigilance. There was one
resolution among the many, which struck US as
being particularly calculated to settle one ques-
tion and that is, that the old line will forever re-
main in the minority in the States. 1t is as fol-
lows:
RcSOlUcd, That the party to which zoe belong
admits TO its ranks no unTepented whiegery and
no unredeemed Hartford Convention federalism
supports for public office none but faithful men
of the democratic party-and we rejoice to be.
lieve is not yet SO far subject to any progressive
spirit of the age as 10 abandon all former asso-
citation, name and creed for the purposes of any
merely temporary victory.
This resolution elected some very warm re-
marks upon the Free Democracy. If we under

assumed by the old Hunkers in New York in
their terms Of union presented to the Barn
burners-tlat is, no man should be nominated
for any office only such as were acknooledged
Democrats. But the name of Free DemOc, al was
source Of considerable excitement among the
speakers, especially the chairman, Mr.. Adams
who considered the prefix free was equal to q
charge that the Democracy of the Union had
been servile, which he denied with contempt
Others will 10 doubt take different view of the
subject, and with equal honesty. We have only
to refer the old line to the position in which theil
candidate for the Presidency in l949, stood upon
the ordinance of 1887, before he was nominated
as candidate by the Democratic party, and hid
subsequent course of servility TO the slave pow.
er;-to show that this is true of men, and it il
true of the Democratic party for the last hal
century-that they have been scrvlc to the slay,
power. The prefix free to the name of our par
ty, as we'll as the resolutions passed by them de
, clare that we are free from an organization con

STRANGE MORTALITY IN BLACK RIVER,
La.-A Louisiana Paper says, that many Of
the planters on Black River have lost the
most, while some Of them have lost all Of
their young calves lately. The mortality
cannot be accounted for. The animals are
smitten as with plague and sink beyond
all remedy on the instant. The death Of
the young calves is not the worst feature Of
this visitation. The mortality is generally
along both sides Of the river, and the
people of Black River WiHh0vc it that this
is the sure precursor Of an epidemic vista.
