We have sustained the 18th section In its repu-
diation Of all further agitation Of the slavery ques-
ton. The present or new platform is against all
sectional issues We have sustained tie 18th sec
tion in its demands that legislation on tho slavery
question should rest where it now is The present
platform is for sustaining all laws of the country
till they are repealed or pronounced void. We see
nothing in this platform t. which we in common
with Americans, may not give our own cordial en-
dorsement. There is nothing in it to which any
American, North or South, could object. While
it is calculated to concilate those who opposed the
18th section, it is 80 broadly national SO indis-
putably correct that the advocates of the 10Th
section can find in it nothing Objectionable.

The mmor is that Pierce aud Douglas
have agreed to put down Buchanan and give
the nomination to Senator Mason OF Vrsiun
the author of the Fugitive Slave Law, we
think. On the Republican side Messrs. Sc
ward Chase, Mclean and Fremont are most
talked about and friend at Washington
writes thus:
The current is setting in favor Of Fre-
mont lie has the elements of great strength.
lie Is right on the miu question:"
Somebody has uttered couple of lies
against Fremont, to wit; that he Is slave
holder and a catholic The truth Is, that he
is member of Protestant church and IS
not slayehol der. Evidently somebody Is
yery much afraid Of Fremont.
The Bindsor journal highly commends
Judge Mclean. So did the Waiehman some
years ago, aud for months placed his name
at the head of It's coluus. We have but one
rule as to the next President. The man who
can carry New York. Ohio and Pennsylvania
against the Slayocracy is the man for us.

MONTPELIER, MAY 2, 1886
The great Contest--What
shall Vermont do

A distinguished citizen of Vermont who
IS quite conservative IN his political views by
the way has acquainted himself thorough
ly with the present phase of the Presidential
question and written to us rs follows:
"DEAR SIN; ! think ii Of importance
that the calls for MI etlngs TO appoint dele
gates to the Philadelphia convention should
be made Of all men opposed to the policy OF
this Administration for the extension OF sa.
very over territory tree by the Missouri Com
promise, and in favor of the admission OF
Kansas as free state. The delegates cleo
ted IN different states under such calls may
unite hut not, if selected by any represent
ing different political organizations. In
short the call should follow the call for the
Philadelphia Convention. sincerely hope
aud believe the people of Vermont will send
to the Philadelphia Convention a iudlclous
and carefully selected body Of delegates
Another gentleman of equal opportunities
forjodging as to the best course, aud whose
opinion is alike entitled to high consideration,
writes as follows;
81 hope Vermont, is taking steps to send
fifteen good and true delegates to the Cons
veuton at Philadelphia on the 18th Of June.
Let them be the best fifteen men in the
Sate.'
And after an alluson to state matters he
adds:
Ar All EVENTS LET Us ~ UNITED"
From another source the suggestion Is
made that the State Committee should rec
ommcud or call conventions this month or
carly IN June, in the respective congresslou-
al districts, to elect, each, rvr delegates
Two at large, and three for the district to
the Philadelphia convention, and that the
regular conventions for state aud congress
lonaI nominations be postponed until after
the Nitional Conyenton-for instance, to
July 4th or 18Th, Independence day or the
anniversary ot the ordinance Of freedom.
As to the caH there cannot be Doubt
10 1891 Vermont sounded the Key note for
success in the next Prcsidelial canvas by
a union OF all the opponents of Slavery Pro
plgandi,m, irrespective Of an party distnc-
tons aud for two years she has uobly acted
upon that principle. Vermont was the first
TO adept b., and now. when 1t has become
the basis of National action. Vermont viii
certainly abide By t The call vil uudoubt-
eddy be broad cuough,-'he door wide open
and we hope that from ewes, h.I and val.
