The Convention.

The Delegate Convention Of the Wings OF
Chttenden County, at Essex, on the % inst,
was one of the fullest, most animated and har-
monious ever assembled on similar OCCASION
Every town was represented, and by regular
working-day Wings Of the County, who do not
put their hands to the plough without being in
earnest. The September election will exhlbi-
sample of Free Sol that will he anything but
satisfactory TO what Mr.. MEAcHAM, at the State
Convention, happily christened as the "Accom-
mediation Line Democracy, the schemers,
who are indebted to larceny for their principles
and to temporary deception for their votes. 1t
is manifest that the Freemen have had quite
enough of the patriotic labors Of a piratical
crew of disorganizers to reform the State.
The WIG MAJORITY in Vermont, next Fall
will indicate a tolerably healthy state of the
body politic, both in respect to measures and
men, or we greatly mistake the signs of the
times.
We have but little space to devote to the
doings of the Convention, this Evening. On
Saturday we Shall give the official account,
embracing the Resolutions adopted. The
Nominations, it will be observed, are, with the
exception of our competent and efficient Judge
of Probate, entirely new and we venture 10
say that they will commend themselves to the
favor and support of the united Wings of Old
Chlttenden, and be riumphanty confirmed at
the Polls. Our candidates for Senators are
well known throughout the the County. Mr.
BARsTow is a gentleman, a Farmer gentleman
as worthy as he is qualified to represent Chit
tenden County in the Senate. lie is Wing
through good report and evil, thoroughly cons
versant with the great conservative principles
that have always kept him a Wing, and quite
competent to give a reason for the faith he
holds. His nomination was received with the
warmest appreciation by the Convention.
Mr.. WnrTEMoRE is widely known ms n
Lawyer of conceded ability, a debater Of great
readiness and seIf-possession, and gentleman
of large intelligence. Ills experience as a
legislator will aid in giving him that influence
in the Senate which he deserves TO exercise,
and which he will employ to good purpose, as
we implore our democratic friends firmly to be-
lieve
-Messrs. BEACH and LYMAN, our Candi-
dates for Assistant; Judges, are among the most
intelligent and practical of our citizens, and
their nomination gave entire satisfaction.
=. J. PHELPs, Esq, was nominated for
States Attorney on the first ballot. Mr.
PHELPS is young Lawyer Of very superior
legal atainments and accumen, and possesses
talents of unusual briliancy and substance
The responsible and onerous Office named could
not be committed TO ADLER or more efficient
hands. The opposing Candidate was A. b.
MAYNARD, Esq, of Richmond, and we cannot
refrain from abiding to the applause aud adj
mirallon that his generous and patriotic course
in the Convention, on the announcement of the
result Of Ike balloting (which was 50 for Mr..
PHELPS and 81 for Mr.. MAYNARD elected from
that body.
NO happier nomination for Sheriff, than
that OF ISAAC SHERWOOD, Esq could have been
made EVERY body says so, and "we concur
Mr.. SHERwoos's knowledge of, and expert.
ence in, the duties of the office, rendered the

a matter OF course.
