Vermont.

We published Monday despatch from Yer
mont, which stated that Wing convention in
that State had nominated John Wheeler, of Bur
lington, for Governor, and Isaac T. Wright, O
Castleton, for Lieutenant Governor The Tribune
styles this convention nominal Wing conven
tom" which means, we presume, that Il was
convention Of National Wings This, at any rate
we infer from the character Of the nominees, both
Of whom were ardent friends Of Mr.. Webster, and
the Compromise Of 1850. Mr.. Wheeler is one Of
the purest and ablest men in Vermont He was
for many years President of the University Of
Vermont, and since his retirement from that posi-.
ton has devoted himself to public affairs.
Mr.. Wright is an able lawyer and highly popu.
lar citizen
The abolition Wings Of Vermont had already
made their nominations. The nomination Of Messrs.
Wheeler and Wright, is made, we presume, by that
portion OF the party who do not wish that Yer.
mont should be converted into an appanage Of New
York. There is in Vermont large and highly in
fuential body Of Wings Of the National school,
who have been for long time FESTIVE under the
yoke Of Sewardsm. They are, to a man, friends
Of the American movement and opposed to the
absorption Of the American party Of the North into
the pseudo-republicau ranks. The Convention Of
the American party Of Vermont having adopted
the Abolition.Whig nominations, an opportunity is
now offered for the rank and file of that party to
exercise the privilege Of frecmen," aud vote for
men worthy Of their suhfagcs. Such men are John
Wheeler and Isaac 7. Wright
Since the above was in type, we have received
the following sketch Of the resolutions adopted by
the Vermont National Wing Convention:
"A State committee having been appointed for
the ensuing year, committee was appointed TO
draught an address 10 the Wings OF the State
and string OF resolutions was reported and ap.
proved oil. These declared that Wing principles
and Wing measures cannot be abandoned by Wings
without danger to the permanent interests and in
tegrity Of the country; that they viewed with
alarm the disposition on the part Of many Wings
to identify themselves, in their political action,
with faction that has ever been entirely repug-
nant to those principles; that every thoughtful
man must be startled at the prospects Of sectional
parties Of the people of the Union ranging them
selves under Northern and Southern party; Of
the attempt TO administer the General Government
by an ascendant sectional party.
They further affirmed that the repeal Of the
Missouri compromise being the act Of the admin
istrston, and not Of the South, Il was wrong that
their resentment should be directed against that
section Of the country that the Wing has ever
been the conservative party Of this country, and
that its existence, for the safety Of the Union was
never more needed than at present; and that,
while single Wing remains alive in Vermont, the
Wing banner shall wave in the breeze that we
will cherish little Of the feelings Of Clay, who
would rather be right than be President and Of
our own immortal Webster, who would MOI, even
for that exalted sffice bend to the pr,judices OF
his loved New England"
