so long conquered. She knows what nscrip-
ions are on it, and lie the State in the Union
least likely to be overcome by side issues. She
will permit no ambitious nor polite" men tc
delude her from her time honored positon,eithe
into an approval Of what she does not approve
or into disapproval of what she approves. She
abides by the Constitution and the Laws 3
submitting her own enactments to the decision
of the SUPREME Court, and obeying the Laws
Of Congress, till they are pronounced void by
the same Constitutional Tribunal
Recent events have made our approach
ing State Convention Of unusual Importance.
While South Carolina has been breathing
nothing but disunion, and other Sections Of the
South have arrogated 10 themselves exclusive
love for the Union, VERMONT has been plcnti~
fully watered with the tears of Patriots! Her
llabeas Corpus Law has been denounced as an
overt act Of treason" and her PUBLIC SENTI>
MENT las been charged to be hostile 10 the
Union. Men who have hitherto rejoiced
over her fidelity to the Union and to Principle,
are found now to bewal her detection We
impore these ardent patriots to "tarry in Jer-
cho ill their boards are grown!" The Wines
of Vermont are undoubtedly responsible for the
political character of the State, and they are, az
usual, prepared to meet that responsibility.
When Vermont votes for Martin Van Buren,.
or GerrW Smith, or William Lloyd Garrison,
or some Ohio Chase, for President, instead OF
WINFIELD Scorr, or Henry CLAY, or ZACHARY
TAYLOR, it will be quite early enough for these
distressed and agonized patriots to pull out their
handkerchiefs and blow their patriotic noses
over her fall! She happens to remember that
she is the ONLY STATE in this Union that has

National Wing Cause and the lamentations
Of those who have heretofore been seduced into
error and defeat are not likely either to disturb
her political fidelity, or weaken her political
faith. We beseech our Wing brethren in all
parts Of this Union to believe that Vernon
oBEYs all laws, until she can get those she dis
likes lawfully amended or repealed, and stands
square up to her obligations to the Constitution
lIle ClllUll ~ lNlU-SlSleT OF the uhIIaNt and
glorious Stale Of KENTUCKY, she is always pre-
pared to link her fortunes with hers aud trust
the Union to the true patriotism of the States OF
HARRY CLAY and ETHAN ALLEN. w hen the
Slave-holding State of KENTUCKY, Compromise
or no compromised falters we advise all anxious
patriots to l0ok to Vermont and the Union,-
mil then the Foote's, the Cusses, the Dictin-
sons, and (alas, that we must say y the WEB
STEERS will warn US OF the danger of disunion
in vain
We trus, the sound and ever faithful Whrs
Of Vermont will be fully represented at their
State Convention on the 25th instant. The
times demand it, and we have never known
Vermont Wigs to be unf,ithful to their duty
We hope to meet our gallant and faithful poll
teal friends from every part of the State
men who will neither admit mar demand any
new TEST, uut vino are prepared. either IN
prosperity or adversely, TO maintain the po,i.
cal consistency and integrity Of the never-set-
ting Wing Star Of the Green Mountain State
