RESPONSES on rnn PRESS.


The result Of the Convention seems to
be in tho highest degree satisfactory To the
people Of the State. Tho resolutions there
adopted were the very thoughts that were
burning in the hear; of every true Vermont
or; and the ticket put in nomination com.
mnnds the confidence and respect of all.
We this week lay before our readers fur
Their responses from the prcss;---
ave run up at mas, head the State tick.
ct put in nomination by the Wing State
Convention, which met at Rutland, last
week. Tho proceedings of that Conycn-
ucn nrc reported in full. IN our columns to-
day, aud We would here remark, that the
Convention was the largest and most en-
thusiastic gathering Of Vermont Wings,
we have seen since 1874. Every County
In the State was represented, nnd the lar
ger ones very fully. We have never met
more resolute, a more Intelligent, or a
more patriotic body Of frccmen assembled.
Although there was some difference as TO
personal preferences in the selection of can
didaics, and some diversity of opinion ms
TO the manner of executing the purposes OF
the Convention, vet when the nominations
were made, they were cordially and en-
Enthusiastically accepted by all, and the pur-
poses Of the Convention, when the manner
of carrying them out was settled, were re-
solved upon with unanmi,y,a cordially,
and spirit Of determination that ut once
cheered and animated us.
The ticket is both good and strong
one, and will command the support of
majority of the people Of the State. II is
one adapted to the times. 1t represents
the popular sentiment of the State, both
politically aud morally. Let all good mon
rally to its support and elect II, and our
good Commonwealth be restored to the
high position to which she belongs, and in
which she has been SO long honored."---

"The Convention wns very large, and
its proceedings were characterized with
great unanmity Of feeling, great enthu.
siasm, and a resolution and a will, worthy
the occasion, and worthy the crisis that has
now come upon the country,
We rejoice that the Wings of Vermont
have on this occasion, come up unanimous
ly to the standard required at this time, of
all lovers of freedom in all of the free States
in the Union. There can he no installing
the Resolutions. They are such az are
required, and will meet most hearty APP
prevail by all the opponents of the Nebras-
ka outrage. The great and indeed the on
ly issue now before the American people
is, whether slavery SHALL or shall not be
suffered to take possession Of all our terri
torial domain, and for all future time con
troll the legislation and exert propondcr-
ating influence in the councils of the ma
ton.
The South have forced this question up
on ns. and. II in the end. they shall find
themselves driven to the wall, they have
but to thank themselves for raising so need
lessly, this sectional issue. 1t Is question
now between Freedom and Slavery, be-
tween the free States and the slave States,
between free territory and slave territory,
between the North and the South. We
hope TO see the free States as united on
this question: on the side OF their honor
and their interest, ms the South have ever
been united on the side of Human Slave
ry.
The Resolutions tell the whole story,
and we subscribe to them most heartily.
We approve too, of the nominations most
cordially. stronger ticket for State OF
hcers has not been before the people Of
this State for years. We hope and expect
to see it elected by at least Ten thousand
