VERMONT DEMOCRACY. The democrats of Yer
held State Convention at Montpelier, in last
month. The resolutions passed the occasion bear
admirable contrast with the sentiments of nulliy-
ing Vermont whiggerY. We copy them below:
g Resokyed, That cherish with undated ardor
the principles of the great republican party of the
Union which, by reducing its theories to successful
and approved practice, and by establishing its lead
ing measures as permanent and popular institutions
of government has signalIy enhanced the growth,
grandeur and prosperity of the nation.
ResoUed, That heartily approve Of the doctrines
forth in the Presidents inaugural address as emf
neny sound, judicious and democratic; and that he
has thus far administered the government in accord
ance with those principles, and in manner to chal
enge the respect of the American people, and justify
the confidence of the democratic party.
ResoEUed, That opposing the narrow and timid po-
Icy. which. had prevailed, would have limited the
nied States of Amerca to the territory of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, and the Providence Planta-
tions, the democratic party has wisely favored the
enlargement of the domain of freedom, and that we
favor of the acquisition of any territory this
continent or the islands adjacent thereto, whenever il
can be done consistently with the rights Of other
L lions, and the honor Of our own

The HAPPY MAN The Commonwealth makes
the following extract from photographic report of
recent sermon by Rev. Theodore Parker of Boston
The original of the picture is understood to be high
~ esteemed resident of Newton:
The happiest man have ever known is one far
enough from being rich, in money, and one who will
be much 10 it. His calling fits him, and
he likes it, rejoices in its process much in its
suit. He has active mind, well filled. He reads
and he thinks. He tends his garden before sunrise,
every morning-then rides sundry miles by the rail
does his ten hours work in the town-whence he
returns happy and cheerful. With his own smile he
catches the earliest smile of the morning, pucks the
first rose of his garden. and goes to work with the
little flower in his hand and great one blossoming
out of his heart. He runs with charity, as a
clio I'D with rain and it is with him with the cloud
what coming from the cloud is rain the meadows,
is rainbow of glofies the cloud that Pours it out
The happiness of the affections fills up the good
and he with friendship and loVe-connubal,

sides. His life is perpetual trap TO catch sun
beam and it always springs - and takes it in.

No doubt friend Moore spoke truly of the con-

reason to believe that decided change has been
going on.for some days past in Warren County
Lewis, we hear, is rapidly gaining both in War

in County like Warren She has ever been a.

in blind devotion to a man. We believe, from all
we have heard, and because we rely in full faith
upon the sterling character of the Warren Democ-
racy, that Mr. Lewis will lead Mr. Venable in that
County, as we feel confident he will Go in john
ston, Wake, Nash, and Franklin. From the Dark
Corner hin Wake, around through Johnston, Nash,
and Franklin to the Warren line, he will sweep
the Democratic vote by immense majorities.

We learn that W. B, Thompson, Esq, is to make
the survey of this Road from Goldsborough to
Beaufort, under the superintendent of Maj. Gwynn

to be overlooked, and we take it for granted sur

with this work, we feel authorized to say that he
will omit efforts to have justice done to all To-
