The convention at Philadelphia.


Before our next issue, the names ofcandidates
for Presidents asd Vice President to represent the
Democracy Of Washington and Jefferson, will
be presented to the people of the Union. That
that nomination will be all the members of the
old Liberty party wish, is not to be expected
1t does not appear, frofn close survey of the
state of the Union, that man imbued with
those radical views which the Abolitionists de-
mand can be successful at the present lime. But
we have this assurance, that at least one step
will be taken towards the overthrow of party
quite perceptibly and still more surely degenera-
ting into despotic rule one great and all-im-
portant step will be taken toward the restora-
ton of our government to the principles of our
fathers, and the total abolition of human bond
age. And while we do it with some reluctance,
and not little fear for the safety and continued
recognition of our distinctive little band, we ask
them to 60 with us to the support Of the Repub-
lican candidate tor President, for this time,-
doing it with resolve not to abate one jot or
from their radical principles, but with s hearty
sacrifice of feeling because the good of the ma
ton demands it.
From the great demonstration Of resistance
to Slavery aggression there will come many hon.
est supporters of abolition prineipl es-7iaany
morally opposed to Slavery. And when this
first step is accomplished, we shall be the better
prepared to wage war upon the institution
where it now exists.
At home we must talk anti-slavery, and write
anti-slavery, and do all in our power in town,
county and State for the continuation of the
distinctive and radical abolition principles.
With the people commence the power, and
while we cooperate in the nation, with those
who do not profess to be abolitionists, we must
make no sacrifice Of principles in the State. 1t
liz under our Immediate supervision, and the as
ccndancy and permancy ofour principles remain
with their ascs n lancy and establishment in the
State. The great body once belonging to the
Wing party, haze formally. in o measure, en-
dorsed the antisIavery principles, but the dig
tinctive anti-s'ayery party must still operate as
a balance wheel and curb to prevent their wan
dering from the path in which they are as yet
comparative strangers and of their leading of
into the unknown, underlined abyrinths of po-
litcal demagogueism.
Who the candidate for our support for Presi'
dent will be, we have yet'no definite means Of
asserting. But the wind breathes fresh assn
rance from all quarters that Col. J. c. Fremont
will be the unanimous choice OF the Convention
With US we see, as did our predecessor when
two years ago, he made the first mention, in
the great newspaper world, of Col. Fremont'f
name in connection with the Presidency-wt
see the greatest probability of his success.

MELON BUGs.-Thc best and most reliable
plan to protect the young plants is to form
a frame work large enough to protect hill,
and cover it with gauze or net work sufficient
ly fine to preventive bugs from entering and
loose or open enough to admit the sun and
air, These baskets may be constructed in va
rious ways, the most convenient to those who
need them. Willow twigs will answer, al
though wire frame eight inches square and
four inches high, covered with thin gauze,
cheap bobinet lace, or mosquito bar goods is
better. Brass or copper wire cloth, pressed
into convenient shape and strongly bound
with large wire. would be the best, as they
would last for years. and might be made use
full as safes to cover over plates of meat, fish,
cheese, aud other articles, when not used in

The State Convention.

1t will be seen, by IL call in this weeks issue,
that the Republican State Convention is to meet
at White River junction, July ID. We have
no objections to make towards holding the Con-
vention at that place, however much more con-
venient it would have been for all parties to
have held it here. But VIC have objections to
what appears, from small knowledge of affairs
behind the curtain. to be the intentions Of those
who were Instrumental in persuading the State
Committee to call the Convention at that place
and We are prepared for whatever may be the
result. If that Convention should see fit tc
place Mr.. Holbrook in nomination for Governor
in preference to Gen. Fletcher or Mr.. Brainerd
then are the anti-slavcry men and Free Democ
racy prepared to issue call for Convention t.
put one of them in nomination. But if thu
Convention decides to endorse Mr.. Fletcher
nomination, then win there be hearty co-ope
ration of all the friends Of Freedom in his sup
port. One thing is probable: that Convention
will test the loyalty of the Republicans t. tn

The Brattleboro Republican, speaking of the
State Convention, says:
alt is convenient to us, and We must have at
least five hundred from this County"
Is that the reason of the Convention being
called at White River Junction After the re-
marks which the Republican made in favor OF
Mr.. Hobrook for Governor; and its wish for
the nomination OF Mr. Baxter for Congress. be-
cause no man had done more to maintain the

man in the United States | asked him how
much timothy seed to SOW upon an acre. He
replied that he always sowed onc-half bushel

half ton per acre more hay, and that the hay
would be worth 50 per ton more in Cincin-
