The yerincnt Democratic Conventions
Tlncture OF AboiitionIsm.

We published, yesterday, the proceedings and
resolutions Of the so-called Vermont Democratic
State Convention. They are strongly tinc.ured
with the gall and wormwood Of abolitionism, ana
antagonism TO the Fugitive slave law: aad II they
were really the declarations Of the Vermont de
nocraey, they would 5etray mos, dep'orable Disc

alarm and the danger are considerably qualified,
with the fact that this assumed democrats party is
the birnburner Van Buren, freesoil "a .tion, aai
nothing more. The old line, or old bunker demo
crazy, stand upon the Cas- ground Of nonintervea-
tion, and ticket Of their own; aud the waig party,
heretofore almost identical with the anti slavery
party in Vermont, 10 Ir astoaishmcnt, declares It's

B. Of very trifing Consequence The whigs have
the majority, and we dosbt not that under tie ban

The resolutions Of this free soil convention snd ia

IN another point Of view. These proceedings viii be

with the whig resolutions Of various Northern

question; but that the South must fall back upon
herself for protection and security This Is the use
90 which all such Grebrsnds are Appropriated in the
South. They serve TO keep alive the Games of a
worse than useless agitation.
"a must be con iessed, however. that the temrorir

ercditable 10 them than the open hostility Of the
nee soers TO the Laws and the institutions Of the
ccas.lry. Hywever, then, this triangular contest
may terminate In Vermont, is a matter Of indife.

saministrstion, ard the cold shoulder to the com

better and the free soil clique is, perhaps IS true
