Hon. Lawrence Brainerd, of st. Adams,
chairman of the nominating committee, re-
ported, that the committee had unanimous
ly agreed upon
Hon, TIMOTHY ?, REDFlELD,
of Montpelier, as a candidate for Governor
And he was declared, by reclamation, to
be the nominee of the Democratic Party
Mr.. Redfeld, being called out, came for
ward and in a very handsome and approPrl-
ate speech, accepted the nomination.
Mr.. Redfeld from the committee on
resolutions, reported the following, which
were unanimously adopted, viz:
LIST. Resolved, That we here again assert,
as we have heretofore, our unwavering hdel-
ity to democratic principles. That promi-
nent among these principles we maintain
that this government was ordained and
the constitution adopted to protect all citi-
zens, in life, liberty, and property; and that
the government should be ever and perpet-
ualy active in the discharge of that high
trust.
I'd. ResOlUed, That any attempt to foist
the institution of slavery into territory I'M
der the Jurisdiction of the Union--any leg
islaton Of Congress that exposes the free
citizens of a sovereign State to perpetual
slavery without " due process of law that
denies the trial by jury, and strips off the
panopoly of the great Writ Of Right" is
an invasion of the legitimate sovereignty of
the States-an infringement of the gudrdt-
ties of the Constitution, and should be
promptly repealed.
Sd. ReSOIUcd, Thateternal fealty to those
principles, which deny all these rights to
the citizen, we cannot recognize, as others
do, as the test of democracy.
4th. ReSolUed, That we discover but one
distinctive feature of the Wing party, in its
present phase, as Swallowed by the present
administration,-6delity to slavery-and the
maintenance of its supremacy and inviOIa-
biHty; we shall therefore oppose the Wing
party, as to principIes~-it nOw processes
none.
The following resolution having benin
troduced and referred to the committee on
resolutions, was unanimously adopted
Rcsolved, That the Wings of Vermont,
by cordially approving President Fill
more's administration" at their late con-
venton at Bellows Falls, endorse and ten
der an issue upon the Fugitive Slave Law,
and that this convention promptly accept
the tender and recommend to all their po-
litical friends, and the friends of freedom
and humanity in this State, to meet that is
sue in every political gathering and at the
polls.
The following resolutions were also
adopted
ResOlUed, That we will cordially support
the nomination of Timothy P Red6eld for
Governor, Ryland Fletcher for Lieutenant
Governor, and Daniel P. Thompson for
Treasurer.
ResOLUed, That we cordially tender our
thanks to the Hon. Edmund Weston for the
ability and impartiality with which he has
presided over the deliberations of this con-
vention.

SLAVES OWNED BY CHRIsTIANs.-By cal
culations based upon the United States census
and statistics Of religious bodies it is estimated
that Methodists in the United States own 2l9,
SOB slaves; Presbyterianns, (Old and New
SCHOOL, $1,000; Complexities, 100000; Epis
copalians, $4,000; other Protestants, $4,000 =
making sum total of 650,563 slaves owned by
ministers aud members of Protestant Churches
in the United States. At $500 Ia low estimate
for each slave, this makes property fund vest
ed in human beings of $570,225 200, owned BY
the American Protestant Churches. The indu
ence of this fund must be met, resisted, ant
overcome by the influence which shall remove
slavery from the Churches.-PreSident BLanch

The Burlington Free Press, and all others of
our wing contemporaries who are disturbed about
the position of our candidate for Governor in
regard to the Slave Law, &C., are referred to
the second resolution passed at the late Conven-

defines his position on the subject.

The Wing presses are in great trbulation
about our new candidate for Cove, nor, There
is, however, nothing new or strange in this. Mr..
Redfeld has before troubled the wings when
he was candidate; and they may reasonably
expect quite an addition to their troubles about
the first Tuesday of September.

Mr.. Clay truly states the questions at issue
1t is not contest between North and South
but between the slaveholding aristocracy of the
South, in league with the monied aristocracy O.
the North, on the one hand, and the non-slave
holding masses of the whole Union, on the
other-it is contest between liberty and sla-
very, between democracy and despotism. The
nature Of the contest is becoming fully under
stood, and the "great white laboring Masses
when once fnlly aroused will find as summary
a mode of indicating their rights and their
honor, as that provided in the fugitive slave act
for enslaving freemen. Dem.
