Der of Delegates from the various parts of the
state Less important than usual, as many re-
aarded it, irom the common expectation OF re-
nomination Of the present State officers, we were
prepared fora thin convention, and were ac-

from the reports that there was large gathering
of he indomimble Wings of Vermont The
action of the Convention was entirely harnoni-

the coming election.

present worthy lncumbents for reelection, viii
meet with hearty response from the people of

course which has rendered him highly popular
with the masses, and we see no good reason
why the Wing party shall not arouse itself to
action, aud by judicious and timely efforts, elect
the entire ticket, by the People with an over
whelmlng majority CGStieion. Journal
