Political,

The cali for a State Convention to be
held at Montpelier, on the Sd Gay Of
June next is sufficiently extensive in the
terms Of its invitation to embrace almost
every citizen Of the State. Forgetting
all past differences, aud uniting against
that great political evil which has been
the foundation of nearly all such differ
ences, the people of Vermont are, it
seems, now prepared to meet in one as
scmbly and to speak with one voice. (It
is true that the American Party has is
sued like call, but it is, in terms, to
consider the propricty and cxpedoncy P"
of sending delegates to their National
Convention, and is not absolutely
for the purpose Of elcctng such dele.

pendent action, the vote Of the state
would be certainly thrown away. Let
each party then be willing to recognize
tho rights oft the other, and by coming in
to a common line insure a triumphant
and overwhelming victory.
1t is therefore TO be hoped that the
delegates sent to Montpelier on the Sd
June, will be men of wide Yiews-and
moderate parlizanship; who, while they
are ready to stand firmly upon princi
pies, will at the same time be prepared
to make such concessions to each other
as may be necessary for the success OIL
