that coming events cast their shadows before

editor enquiries again, "Does any one imagine
that this resolution can go backward :? 1t Wat
idle to expect it. The Cass democracy is on o
rapid march for the Buffalo platform, and its
next candidate must be Free Soilcr .4B This
is as II should be. We are far enough from
complaining only waiting and looking on"
Freemen of Vermont, these were the senli'
ments of the Editor of the New York Tribune
not three months since. But there is another as.
pect now presented by the Tribune. In view Of
the steps which have been taken i'll Vermont
the Tribune appeals to her in the position which
she now occupies. Itsays, "a President chosen
by the vote of Vermont, cast in accordance
with her long cherished convictions, now occu.
pies the White House. For the first time in hel
history, citizen of Vermont has been called to
seat in the Presidents council. Another Of
her sons whom she is delighted to honor, is ap-
pointed to a most honorable foreign Inission."-
AS Vermonter, we beg leave to deny the as
serticn, that the vote Of Vermont was cast in
accordance with her long cherished convictions
We consider the statement an insult to the NOR
al and religious character of our Slate. We
are confident that if the long cherished convic
tons" of Vermont had been needed, that mar
who holds three hundred of his fellow beings
under the iron heel of oppression-th man I'M
known for any qualifications for the highest Of
fee in the gift of the American people, (excep
availability that man whose nomination wal
received by the wing party themselves "with I
disposition 10 rebel" never would have received
the vote of Vermont And for the honor of the
the State,we are grati6ed to say that he only hat
a minority vote. We admit that Gen. Taylo
has appointed two of her citizens to responsible,
posts of honor, who were the most active part
sans in Vermont, who labored faithfully for thu
election of a STAKEHOLDER. Those two appoint
ihehts were doubtless made from the purest o
motives, for Gen. Taylor has no "fricnds to re
ward" We have devoted more space upon The
Tribune than we should, if we had not regarded
the article well calculated to mlsead. One
quotation more and we have done The edltol
says, awe do not mean to underrate the strength
of the coalition. 1t is formidable and an extra
ordinary effort will be required to defeat 1t ~
What confidence can the people of Vermont
place in men who have taken such grounds P
Men, who at one time are approving, and coun-
tenancing and urging on an organization upon
the principles of the declaration of indepen-
dencc. And then, forsooth, because hey have
discovered that such an organization threaten.
the complete overthrow of the Taylor party
they swallow their own words and dennunce the
whole movement. 1t is for the people Of Yer.
mant to Judge; and they have the intelligence
to do it without the aid of such papers as the
Tribune, the Boston Atlas, and other kindred
foreign prints, whether the Taylor party are ell
titled to any confidence, after voluntarily sub.
hitting themselves to that same vassalage, the
slave power, from which Mr.. Greeley, says the
Northern Democrats are emancipated. But the
question is asked "Will Vermont turn her bach
upon herself?" The answer is Vermont since
1876 has cast her popular vote against the Tay
Ior party with the thirteen thousand Of her voters
who have been emancipated, she will cast he
vote next September for herself Do any of ou
Taylor wing contemporaries see the hand writing
in the significant language, Meme Tehel?
