Congregational General Convention of
Vermont.

We CLEAN the facts for meagre report of
the above from the Windsor Journal.
The Convention met at Windsor, on Tues
day, DIST. The opening sermon was preach
ed by DR.. Aiken, of Rutland, from Matthew
c. 10, V. 34-after which the Convention was
formally organized.
A discussion arose on the proposition, by
the committee on ovcrtures, to send dele
gate to temperance convention ut Portland
Maine, in July, and another to the World
September next.
Rev. Mr. Lord, of Montpelier, raised the
question, whether these conventions were to
be such, as they would wish to endorse by
sending delegates to them; whether these
delegates would not find themselves at the
convention along side of Rev. Lucy Stone,
and other advocates of - womens rights. "
He said, the proceedings at recent temper
ancc meetings in New York gave just ground
for such apprehension.
Rev. Mr.. Steele, of Castlrton, stated that
the " ,comenS rights " defenders were put
down, and the voice of woman would be 81
lent in the Worlds Temperance Convention
The subject was laid on the table. and when
called up next day, it appeared that such a
body as this were not invited to send dele
gates to the temperance conventions, and the
whole matter was dismissed.

ding in each other, and unwavcring in

Not the least disposition was shown by any

"cntangling alliances Every one seemed to
Know that in this State as in other States, there
must be many local questions which will have
- bearing in the choice of representatives, and
which should be left to be cared for in places
where they may arise. All realized that there
ere questions of domestic policy standing in
10 relation to any party, and that on these

'atives should be left to act, unbiased by their
oonnexion with the great parties which di-
vide the nation All such questions can be
rettled as judiciously, to say the least, by
Wigs as by their opponents; and as for mat
tors to be determined in the national councils,
the influence of Vermont can be felt as it

Mr.. Benedict, from the Committee appointed

United the Neutrality-suspicious., after addresses
by Messrs. Kirkland of Bratteboro' and

adopted:
Reso ued, That the representatives of the
Wings of Vermont de EN- this fit occasion to
declare anew. their steady attachment to the
great aud essential principles heretofore avowed
by them and to the policy which through
good report and through evil report, they have
ever maintained.
ReSo,red, That among these they recognize
more especially the following:
!. The maintenance of the peace and honor
Of the country, by It's being ever prepared to
defend Its own natural rights. aud by It's scru-
puluusly avoiding to trespass upon the rights
aud possessions of others.
=. The steady development of the natural
resources of the nation at large, and the pro-
lection and encouragement by its government
of the productions OF its own soil, and of the
industry and skill of its own people in pre-
ference TO those of other nations.
3. An administration of the public domain
which, admitting the right of every state tc
participate equtably in the proceeds Of the
public lands, shall encourage Their early occn-
| pation by favorable terms to actual settlers
and fair grants for internal Improvements of IA
general and beneficial character.
4. An administrations of the finances of til,
Government, (both of the State and of the u
S. which shall be strictly limited by law and
economical in its character.
/ .. A greater restriction of the Erecuiut
power and patronage of the U. $, which now
from its vast and yet increasing extent, bids
fair to ovcrshadow every other branch of the
government, to the great detrment of the gen
eral welfare, and with manifest danger to the
Liberties OF the people.
Resolred, That party which maintains such
principles in free country never dies and the
Wings Of Vermont are expected now as ever
to go shoulder to shoulder in all honorable eff
fort to secure the election of their candidates
and thus to give greater force to the charac-
teristic principles of the Wing party in this

people are destined to be sadly disappointed in /.
the Crystal Palace. To say nothing of the
English Commissioners who came over some
fortnight ago, and will probably have to 60
back before it is even opened, there will be
many Of the Country people" who will, fear,
be inclined to class this too among the many
humbugs Of New York. | have heard good
many thus far express their opinions about it and
all confessed that it did not answer their cxpec-
tatons. The difficulty is that they have got
their ideas too high. They have read all the
accounts of the great Exhibition in England
and perhaps unconscIously using the argument
that this country is the greatest there Is, they
think that this New York Exhibition, is to put
the British Exhibition int the shade, whereas
It is probably no more to be compared to it
than tallow candle to Drummond burner
That was a national affair it had all the inhu-
ence and power of the Government, and no
puny government either, to sustain it; it was
