warks Of our free Government, as deserving the
severest condemnation, and We hereby pledge our
selves to frown upon all such efforts whenever and
wherever made, as dangerous to the peace of the
Country, and insult to the patriotic feelings of all
true Americans.
4. That the Democracy of Vermont believing our
free Constitution sanctions prescription on account
of birth. openly and emphatiJally condemn any or
ganiZaton, secret or otherwise, that would aim to
deprive any citizen native adopted of his rights
civil, political or religious.
b. That the recent abandonment by the Wing
Convention at Rutland of their former party issues
and the adoption of sectional ones instead, proves
their utter want of confidence in the distinctive
principles of their party, their love OF office at the
expense Of consistency, and their long concealed but
now openly proclaimed hostility to the Constitution
and the Union, and ought to receive the emphatic
condemnation of every Neimontcr whose love for
his Country not bounded by state lines and see
tiona success.
e. That it i'll becomes the Wing, of Vermont to
prate about the sanctity of Compromises, or the
treachery of those who take part in their repeal,
when their party history both past and present
shows that their never has been Compromise that
they did not themselves revic and spit upon either
of Congress the Constitution.
The Democratic Platform for Vermont.
The rith of the Democratic Resolutions,
so far as they have any meaning we take to
be this -
| Frank Pierce is real Democrat-a model
President, and an economical manager. He
will denounce fillibusters, and get Cuba and
all the countries near us if he can.
2. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is a Democratic doc
tr'ne, to be interpreted by the Baltimore
Platform of 1852, and strictly adhered 10 IN
all cases though the rank and file are wei
come to believe (as we suppose most Of them
do) that the Nebraska bill is a rascaly IN
PREVENTION for Slavery, provided they only
uOte the ticket.
3. All war upon 1.-THE bulwarks Of our free
government is horrible to our patriotic feel
ings, excepting, however, the violation of the
9th section of the Nieso~ri Tnnpronaiso act
by the Democrats to give the Shareholders
more power over the Free States, and the in
cessant declarations, in Congress and out of
Congress, by the men Of the South, that they
will dissolre the Union if they cannot have
their own way.
4. The Democrats prescribe no one on &C.
count of his birth, and would have all mer
have their rights, ereept black men, yellow
men and red men. They are dead against al
secret societies also, ercept those which worl
to revolutionize Cuba and for the present Ad
ninistration.
S. The Wings at Rutland, in declaring tina
they would do all in their power to saue tbs
nation from the wrong done to public homes
ty, to Freedom and the Free States, by usin,
all lawful and constitutional means to correc
the wrong and prevent any more such, showed
themselves enemies to the Constitution
6. That inasmuch as Vermont has Away
detested doughfaces, especially those, who il
1920 helped the South make one Slave Stat
out of Free Territory, Vermont Wings ar
fools to grumble because the Democrats VIC
late law and honor to make all the rest of i
into Slave States also.
