The Wing State Convention holden at Bel
lows Falls Oh Wednesday last, was one of tho
largest ever held, mass meetings excepted; ana
that too, notwithstanding the TACT that The main
body Of the delegation from Wiudham County
did not arrive until the succeeding day, under
standing that the Convention Was to hold oven
until Thursday. The Convention was entirely
harmonious, As well as large. Rcnumnating
tile excellent State Ticket Of last wear by ac-
clanhllon, and unanimously rcalirmlng all the
great lIncpcs--ever fresh, ever free, ever
sound--to which the Wing party OF Vermont
has so s'cadiastly adhered, the fears of timid
friends and the hopes Of our enemies nave been
alike disappointed. United, firm and fearless,
the Wings Of Vermont will vie with each other
IN conlcnding for another and noblcr victory
Tor the common cause. Last year they carried
the State Ticket by small ina ority; this year,
they should not be satisfied with one vote less
than five thousand maiorty-aud they ought
not to brag with one vote less than seven thou
sand.
Wings OF Vermont! this is no time for a
small victory no time to be content with your
own; no time TO think OF anything short of a
reunion OF the ancient and genuine Wing
strength ofthc State upon the ancient a(orm.
! The party stands where it ever has stood, I'M
changed and Interchangeable deserving, as we
cannot help believing that it will receive, the
confidence and support Of every freeman of the
state who has sustained il, and of hundreds,
aye, some thousands, whose votes for the last
few years have been carried against it by I'M
paralelcd trickcry and treachery. Let not the
Wings be content with an easy victory; let us
strive for a decisive and most honorable one.

| The proceedings Of the State Convention
were characterised by entire unanimty, and by
enthusiasm that was omnous of good. There
was general disposition to manifest no prefe-
renee for candidates for the Presidency. There
did not appear TO De any strong feeling for or
against any one of the several men so freely
talked of as candidates for the Presidency.
We think the R'sO utionS well expressed the
sentiments Of the Convention, and, if we are
not mistaken, they embody the views Of this
State. 1t could rot be expected that the Reso-
lutlons OF State Convention would express
the views Of every individual wing, on all the
matters now before the public. But they ex-

The Wings Of Vermont are still united. Their
