f. P. Walton Jr, from the Committee on res
oiuuons' reportedthe following which, after re-
marks by Nessrs. Walton Vail and others, were
unanimously adopted to wit,
Whereas we recognize in the Democratic Plat
form and in the political history of the Dem
ocratic nominees, unmistakabe evidence on
the one hand, Of hostility to he Protective
Sysen, to Internal improvements, and to a
far distribution of the Public Lands to the
States to which they belong, Vermont inclu-
slpe--and unmistakable evidence of favor on
the other hand, to the progressive spirit of
annexation, involving in its probable conse
quences new wars Of conquest and new
schemes for the extension of Slavery, and a
renewal of all the dangerous and exciting
questions which have for the last ten years
disturbed the peace and retarded the prosper
ity of the country:
And Whereas, In the past history Of WINFIELD
ScoTr and VIM. a. GRAHAM with the Wing
Platform annexed, we discern on the one hand
unQuestonlble pledges ofirendship and efici
ent service for the great American doctrine of
Protection to American Industry by specific
dutes-of protection to Amer can Commerce
by Internal Improvements and of Justice TO
the states which purchased the public domain
by the blood Of their sons shed in the sacred
cause Of American Independence: and on
/ the other hand, unquestionable pledges against
new agitation IN any form whatever. and by
consequence, sff1nsi new schemes of annex
alton and slavery extension, and against new
wars Of conquest;
/ Resoiped, therefore, That finding ourselves
thus put to the trial substantially of all the old
party issues which have subsisted for the last
/ twelve years. we hereby declare anew our un-
/ flnchlng adheance 10 the same principles which
have characterized the Wing party of Vermont
IN past times and an unwayering purpose To car
ry ont those principles into efficient and practic-
al effect, by voting for man who will h nor and
sustain them.
Resolved, That in WINFIELD Scorr we re-
cognze the Man, whose private life is without
STAN; the Hero who has fought and won the
battles of his country, without falnting the ever
successful Dipiomatisi, who "always prefers an
honorable Peace even to a successful War I"
and the Patriot who could be driven from his du-
~ 10 the country neither by the cruel Injustice of
his own Government nor by the tempting brides
of magnificent fortune and the Presidency of
Mexico. Brought into public service by JEF.
PRISON, rapidly promoted by MADIsoN and
MuHRoF, and conided in under the most deli
cate circumstances by ADAMS, JACKSON and
VAN buren,, we are sure that he is eminenty
wothy Of the confidence Of the whole American
People and we pledge for him our hearty and
J Jealous support.
Resolved, That by his speeches and votes,
particularly on the Slavery and Tariff questions,
J the Hon JAMES MEAcHAM, our candidate for
Congress, has proved himself to be faithful
} and able representative of the views and inter-
ests of the people of this district, and as such,
we propose to keep him in Congress for another
term.
Resolred That on the VINO STATE TICKET we
find competent experienced, faithful and honest
men, who have noby fought the Wing battles
side by side with US, and by their character and
services won the post Of honor. We will honor
them
