Let us now see which OF the two parties in Vermont
sustained this hgh-handed measure. The wings of that

characterized as among the gratifying signs OF the
times" We extract the following which allude TO
slavery, and claim the right 10 urge the repeal of the
fugitive law:

ton, which nominated Mr.. Vn,on for governor the fol
lowing explicit and significant resolve was passed
Resotpsd That, as the compromise measures were
recommended by whg administration and were no
passed patty by Congress- perfect oloration

In that State the democrats renomnated Gov. Wood
who, in his message TO the Legislature, mended III,
support of the Compromise and eafrmed the Baltimore
platform, and the on-inlevenon resolutions adopted BY
the Ohio democratic convention Of 1913, which nom
mated Colonel Weller in opposition to Governor Ford
who advocated the repeal Of the laws imposing dsabili
ties on the blacks, and making certain distinctions be
tween the white and black races. In confirmation OF thu
position OF the Ohio democracy, make the following
quotation from the Ohio State Journal of the 3olh of Au
