ted for the purpose, reported the following reso.
lutions which after being ably discussed, were
unanimously adopted
Received, l. That placing our reliance upon
the intelligence, patriotism and integrity of the
people, and believing that however they may be
led, for a season through the appliances of par.
ty and the efforts of unprinclpled party leaders.
to falsify their principles and neglect their own
best interests, their " sober, second thought.
will bring them again to the principles of equal
lty, Justice and freedom upon which our republi-
can institutions are SO based, and appealing to
Heaven and our fellow citizens for the rectitude
OF our motives and our conduct, we, the Free
Democracy of Vermont do renew and reassert
before the world, with a full determination to
adhere steadiastly to them, in SUCCESS or defeat,
the declaration Of principles set forth in the
Buffalo Platform Of 1913, in the platform of the
union of the Free Democracy of this State. on
3lst of May lS49, and Of the State Convention
holden at Burlington on 28th day of May, 1851.
g. That there have ceased to be any distin-
gushing principles AMI measures of public pol
icy between the self styled National Wings and
National Democrats ; the Wings having yielded
all the old issues in relation to National
Bank, The Independent Treasury, The Distri
button Of the Proceeds eff the Public Lands, and
having abandoned the doctrine of Tariff for
Protection except as Incidental to revenue, and
both having placed themselves upon sectional,
pro-sayery platforms, identical in spirit and in
aims, it not in language, the great object of
which seems to be to barter the principles of the
freeman of the North for the votes and influence
of the shareholders Of the South, in order to Sc
cure the advantages of power and the spois of
office sand for proof of the identity of principle
in these platforms in their subservency to the
slave power we here place them side by side,
