On the last day of the session of the Legisa-
ture, which by its majority, and by the whole
vote of the dominant party, had, as far as their
acts went, established the extraordinary prece.
dent of overturning the long settled and hither-
to conceded democratic usages Of allowing
counties to select their officers 1.-The free de-
mocracy wishing to know how far the odious and
unrepublcan principle involved in that bold
measure was to be deliberately sanctioned and
adopted as part of the wing creed, Mr.. Mat
tocks of Peacham, in their behalf, introduced the
following resolutions, which, with the dongs
thereon, we copy from the printed Journal, p. 22l

RESOLVED, "That all Government derives its
Just powers from the consent OF the governed;'
"that all power being Inherent in and conse.
qnently derived from the people-tIerefore, all

ReSoiued, That each of the several Counties
under the Laws and Constitution of this State,
is body polite, having distinct police regua-
ton and that all officers with limited iurisdc"
ton within and for the several Counties, should
derive their Just powers from the consent" of
the people OF their respective Counties
Resolred, That the long established and al
most lmmemorial usage in this State. of eecting
10 office for the several Counties such men, and
such only as were nominated, approved, and
"consented" to by the representatives. ofthe
people of their respective Counties was in &C.
cordance with the genius of our Government.
and the rights OF the people. And to elect men
to office for the several Counties without the
consent and against the protest of the Represen.

L,AUGHABLE'

We have been rot a little amused in
reading an editorial article in the last Mont
pelier (YL) Watchman, in which the writer
finds good deal of fault with the Resolu-
tons adopted At the Free Democratic State
Convention on the Cd ult., for the reason
that the platform therein laid down "is not
50 broad SO effective, so true, so good as
the Wing anti-siayery ground We should
really suppose that Vermont Wing would
blush to r cad the numerous Autl-Slavery
Resolutions adopted, at suudry times, at
their several Convention. If 0ords were
things, and resolutions were dcetiS, the YER
mont Wings would be the best ant-slayery
fellows in existence, but the trouble is that
their faith never maniests itself by their
works. 1t is all "words words words"

OUR CONGRESSIONAL CAN.
DIDATES

We think the Free Democracy Of Ve,ron
may well congratulate themselves on the char
octer, talents, and undoubted faihfulness to free
principles, of their candidates IN all The severn
districts in the State. With such delegation
in Congress- the true free spirit of the land Of the
Aliens and Chittendens and her burnings to see
adopted the latest discussed, but most important
part OF the creed of Jefferson, would find faith
iul and fearless uttelance.
Not having last week received the proceed.
ings OF the Convention of the Second District ir
season for publication, with the remarks will
which we intended to accompany them, we bare
" announced the nomination of Col. ]. P. KID
DER, as the candidate for that district
Mr.. Kdder, like many others now among the
staunchest free soers in the State, was, indeed
once in the organization who had 10 bear the
odium of the Nicholson Letter" in mortified
silence; but having long possessed strong anti
slavery views he repudiated its doctrines in prl.
vate, and, at the union of the 3lst of May OIL
which he was an active promoter, he publicly
embraced the principles, and cordially sustained
the strongest free soil resolutions of the noble
platform of free principles erected on that occa-
sion. Mr. Kidaer though self made man, is,
for talents and energy, no inferior man and we
think the friends of freedom in his district, who
may give him their SURFACES, will find in him, if
elected, representative who will carry out their
views as faithfully & fcarlessly, as we all know
he can ably, in the councils of the nation.

Government has no constitutional power
There should be an end of the encroachments
of the slave spirit.
Charles Summer, your candidate for Con-
gress, possesses all the noble and generous
qualities of manhood, to meet and discharge the
responsibilities of representative Of the peopl,
distinguished for their early and faithful devotion
to the cause of Freedom. With these qualities,
he unites talents, learning and eloquence to sus-
tain with power and honor the cause Of freedom
and humunHy. In him you will have represent
alive, who in the hour of danger and response
bility, would be found on duty at his post.
1t would give me great pleasure to meet and
address meeting IN FaneuiI Hall and particu-
Iary would it give me pleasure, could render
any aid in the election of Charles Summer as
the representative of your district in Congress !;
but attention to public duties here, denies me
that pleasure.
Accept my thanks for the honor conferred
upon me by your invitation.

Slave Colony in California.

An extensive combination of planters of va
rious Southern States, is being formed, it is said,
Tor the purpose of founding a slave colony in
California. 1t is proposed to send on five thou
sand slaves sufficient to offer strong defense
aga nst any movement to suppress the intIoduc-
ton of slaves. 1t is very possible thlt inpolicy
or folly may go so far as to attempt such colo.
nizatlon, but if California is admitted to the IN
ion, with her present constitution and population,
not a slave can dig in the gold region for sin
gle day. Even If she be refused admission, ev-
cry slave transported to her soil will carry with
him a certainty of freedom the moment he sets
his foot i'll California Congress or no Congress,
the CalIornians have expressed their will IN this
matter of slavery, and no combination of plant
ers can shake it hairs breadh.-Daiy Placer
