THE STAR THAT NEVER SETS.

Having published yesterday summary Of the
Resolutions adopted by the State Democratic Con-
vention of VERMONT, we feel both pleasure and
pride in submitting to-day series of important
principles promulgated in the Wing Convention of
the republican State. 1t is far from the first
time that such national and patriotic declarations
have emanated from that source, but we are graft
fed at their calm reproduction now, and we conf
IDENTIFY invite our readers, of all parties to compare
the principles and policy avowed in this meeting
with those enunciated by the Democrats, as con-
time is far off when any assemblage of Wings can be
brought to concur in any code of public morals at
all in opposition to that succnctly embodied in the
first of the appended Declarations; or, if not TO con-
cur in it, to conniye at its publication under Wing
sanction and thus indirectly to encourage the
establishment of doctrine which would lead to the
destruction of public faith and national respec
liability, and to acts which differ from palpable
crime just as Alexander differed from the robber
brought before him-the one took countries by
wholesale without shadow of right; the other took
purse in violation of law. Let us obey the injunc-
ton Of the second clause of that resolution, and
we trust and believe that practical advocacy of its
first clause will seldom be required in our future
history.
Resolutions Of the Wig State Convention of Yer
mont, held at Montpelier Wednesday last.
ReSoloed, That the Representatives of the Wings of
Vermont deem this fit occasion to declare their
steady attachment to the great and essential principles
heretofore ayowed by them and to the policy which,
through good report and through evil report they hare
ever maintained.
Resolod That among these they recognise more espe-
cially the following:
L. The maintenance of the peace and honor of the
try by its being prepared to defend its national
rights and by its scrupulousy avoiding to respas upon
the rights and possessions Of others.
2 The steady development of the natural of
the nation at large and the protection and
by its Government of the productions of its SOIL and
of the industry and skill of its people in preference
to those of other nations.
8. An administration of the public domain, which, ad
hitting the right of every State participate equtaby
in the proceeds of the public lands shall encourage their
early occupation by favorable terms to actual settlers
and fair grants for internal improvements Of general
and beneficial character
4. An administration of the finances of the Government
boh of the State and the United Sates which shall
be strictly limited by law and economical in its character
s. greater restriction of the Executive power and pa
tronage Of the United States which now from its vast
and yet increasing extent bids fair overshadow every
other branch Of the Government to the great detrent
of the general welfare and with manifest danger the
liberties Of the people.
Resolved That party which maintains such principles
in free country dies and the Wings of Vermont
expected to go shoulder to shoulder in all
honorable effort the election of their candida tes
and thus to give greater force to the characteristic prn
cpes of the Wing party 10 this State and throughout the
Union.
Resolped That the Wings of Vermont will give hearty
support to the nominations of Hon. ERAsTUs FAIRBANKS
for Governor Hon. WIN. C. KITTRRDGE for Lieutenant
Governor, and Hon. GEO. HowEs for Treasurer.
