Vermont State Convention.

The Democrats of Vermont, at their recent
State Convention, passed the following resolu-
tions
Rcso1ro1, That We stand upon the platform
of the national Democratic party, as drawn up
by the hand of Silas Wright, adopted by the
Baltimore Convention in 1910, and approved
by every national Democratic Convention since
that time-that we believe the platform broad
enough, and narrow enough, and good enough
for all true patriotic republicans to stand upon,
and that to compromise any of Its principles for
entangling alliances with other parties, is to
hazard the safety of our national organization,
and the veal of the republican institutions of
the country. m ----7 ..fr-r- 20 ...-.-ss
Resolrcd, That in accordance with the almost
unanimous sentiment of the people of the non
slaveholdihg States, we regard slavery as a
great moral and political evil, and are opposed
TO its extension into any territories now free !;
yet we hold that no particular measure or opin-
ion in relation thereto should be made critic
rioh of political faith, but, that herein Demo-
Gratis may freely hold diverse opinions.
Resolred, That as national, and not as
sectional party, the Democracy have achieved
their past triumphs; and that only as a nation
al party can they hope for future strength, use,
fulness and prosperity and that no one idea,
however important, should be permitted to OBJ
Eterate or even obscure the old landmarks
which separate the manor of Federalism from
the domain of Democracy.

Just as fast as any other people will pro-
vide tor ar extension of the road, we are
ready to mortgage all our interests to iron and
stock.
would here suggest, that in IT, event of a
failure to obtain the amount Of cash subscrip-
tons requisite, Knox douuty might get the
authority Of for the issue Of iorty or nifty
thousand dollars, seven per cent bonds, which
bearing that rate Of interest, would be very
convertible at home. We, Of course, would
be glad, if the Vincennes people would buy
iron and rolling stock. and DO all, and thus OBJ
viate the necessity Of issuing any bonds.
But we know these things have always to
every part Of the icountry, and we will not be
too exactiDg Of our enterprising neigh5ors.
With regard to the knowledge which Vim
cennes would have in the management of the
road-what part in the directory-what To-
fuence in elections, &C.. would say, that
each share ofstock is entitled, by the charter,
to a vote. Our directory consists Of nine
members-seven of whom constitute q quo
rum-so that we need eight at this point.
We can, as is usual in such cases, as the
road is extended, increase the number of direc-
tors, so as to give Vincennes her due proper
ton. The meetings Of the directory are held
here at present, but as soon as the road is IN
operation, they can, with convenience, be
held wherever the cars can run. se.a
With less than eight directors in one place
now, we could never get a quorum. The
Evansville and Illinois Railroad Company
will have for disposal, some bonds of the coun-
~ of Vanderburgh, which are convertible at
the pleasure Of the holder, into the stock Of
the road, which, perhaps, some who are un-
willing to invest their money for stock alone,
might be willing TO advance money for the
sake Of having the road built up to Vincen-
nes.
With the means so furnished, we would be
willing to invest what we have 10 spare in
that way, on the extension. The advantage
of these bonds over mere stock, il, that they
are certain 6 per cents and If the Railroad
yields more than per cent, the holder can
have the bonds converted into stock.
These bonds would be a safe Investment at
per cent for those who have trust funds to
invest. ~ a
Our Company will in any event, have from
thirty or fifty thousand dollars Of these bonds
to dispose of, after the completion Of the road
to Princeton.
If our friends in Vincennes, desire informa-
ton on any other points in connexion with
the road, i shall be happy to afford it If with.
in my power.

Heavy CONSTRUCTING Operations.

To our friend A. r. J. of St Louis, and to

paid by the Bank, to Messrs. Clark & Broth

the character Of the paper, but after inspec-

declaring it genuine. Yesterday, however,

was really counterfeit, and signifed their de-
sire to call it all in immediately. From inior-

Since the foregoing was in type, we have
been informed that another batch OF $4,000

by the officers Of the Bank. 1t was received
by them but short time since. Whether
they have got through with the investigation
OF their paper, we have not learned.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10 1850.
EDITOR EVANSVILLE JOURNAL.
Sir:-When last saw you promised to
inform you of the doings Of the Convention:
but up this to time nothing or but very little
has been done Of general interest. This you
will receive as my apology for not writing
you earlier Nearly the whole of the first
week was taken up in perfecting the organi-
cation Of the Convention; the balance Of the
time has been taken up in settling prelimina-
ry questions and in submitting resolutions Of
instructions and Of enquiry to the respective
committees. The first important resolution
passed this evening by vote OF 124 To- 5, in
structing the committee on the Legislative
department to report clause to be inserted
in tie Constitution prohibiting the Legisa-
ture from meeting. more than Ouce in two
years unless upon the proclamation Of the
Governor; the proposition to have but one
session in three years was previously voted
down by vote oil SO to Al. You have
doubtless learned ere this that proposition
was made for the Convention to adjourn to
Madison if suitable room could be procured
and for the purpose Of ascertaining that fact,
a committee was sent to Madison, who re-
ported favorably this morning and reported
a resolution that when the Convention ad'
journed on Friday next, that it would ad,
journ to meet at Madison on Monday next al
2 o'clock. Upon motion Of Wolf OF Sulli,
van, the resolution was so amended AZ to de-
clare that the Convention should continue It;

and after it was so amended it was laid oil
table. which is regarded ass settlement o.
the question. did not vote for the commit
tee to visit Madison, aud could therefore vot,
for Mr.. VOLTS amendment with propriety
and accordingly did SO although very much
crowded in the Hall Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives yet inasmuch as the Governor
Auditor and Treasurer Of State had no mor'
regard for the convenience of the Conven
ton than to crowd one hundred and fit,
men in a room none too large for one hundred
| for one concluded to stand it. They, yo'
will recollect were appointed by the Legisla
l.ure to provide suitable rooia for the meet
ings OF the Convention.
Respectfully,
