his recommendation of ga system which may
place Home Labor at last on a sure and perma-
nent footing, and by due encouragement Of man.
ufactures, give a new and increased stimulus 10
agriculture, and promote the development Of our
vast resources and The extension of our Com
merce;" his earnest message for the Immediate
and unconditional admission OF California as a
State his wise and courageous stand in con-
duct of our foreign relations his bold front a.
ganst the assailants of the Union, south as well
as north has won the respect and affection Of oil
the lovers Of Union and Liberty, and proves that
the people we've in no degree mistaken in their
man.
Resolrcd, That the people of Vermont con-
scious of the honesty, patriotism, and rationale
~ and liberal spmit exhibited by General lay
lor, as President of the whole people, will firm
ly sustain him in spite of the termentatons Of
small politicians here, or the lamentations oi
great ones elsewhere.
Rcsofued, That the cheap postage reform, I'M
der the able and favorable guidance Of the pres
ent Post Master General, has more than supPor-
ted itself--eary surprising the expectations OF
its friends-and now warran $ another step IN the
same direction.
Resolved, That if Territorial governments be
established by Congress in New Mexico and
Utah before the people therein shall have pre-
pared their own state ganIzation-thoagh the
soil and Climate would seem to exclude sla very
tho principles Of the ordnance Of 1867 should
be insisted upon "at every hazard and to the last
extremity"
Resolved, That the present depressed condl-
ton of our own industrial interests, the increas-
ing influx of foreign importation, plunging the
country daily deeper into dept, shows that some
important amendments to the present Tariff Law
are indispensable to the prosperity Of the coun-
try, and as citizens of Vermont, prefering to re-
ly solely Oh the home market, we will not cease
10 demand of Congress the proper specific action
on at least this one pracrca. eubjecL
Resolved, That the annexation Of Canada,
peacefully if we can, and not the bloody con-
quest of Cuba, which we will prevent torcibly if
we must, is a measure worthy OF the age.
Resoiued,-Thal the self-denial shown on the
part of the Locofoco party in this State, in its
alliance with the Fee Soil party and pro tenn.
pore severance from its national pro slavery rea-
tons, would have been more Conspicuous had il
been exhibited when the latter had the spoils al
its disposal, but even the semaance OF virtue
becomes them so well that we will heartily aid
them to prolong its practice through another
Presidential term.
Reseiped, That the measure proposed by a
Wing Council of Censors, OF reposlng in The
people the election of their county officers
should be carried out with that fidelity and bold
ness which will best prove them worthy of the
trust, and while we deem the men presented by
this Convention well qualified for their several
positions and fully deserving an election BY the
people; yet 60 tar as the Judicial Offices Of the
county are concerned, If other men equally good
and more likely to succeed shall appear III the
field, we declare our purpose 70 give our votes
regardless.of pany Pnlisics. -
