ELECTION OF DELEGATES.

lfur N Nernfquf PniruiN
One Of the most important elections that has ev-
er occurred in this State. is at hand On Tuesday
next the froetaen Of Vermont, in addition to the
choice Of Presidential electors, are called upon to
elect delegates to act upon proposed amendments to
the Constitution Of the STATE. The late Council Of
Censors having proposed to change the organic law
Of the State, have submitted certain proposed
amendments for the consideration Of the freemen,
aud have Published ordinance directing the sew
eral counties in the State to elect delegates to meet
in convention to act upon said proposed amend
meuis. As the amendments proposed contemplate
important changes ia the Constitution the selection
Of delegates to pass upon those amendments be-
comes matter Of deep interest to the community
Feeling the importance Of the subject, delegates
from the several towns in the County Of windham,
convened at Newfans in September last. aud nomi-
mated for the consideration Of the frecmen Of the
county, eight individuals to represent the county
in the convention called by the Council Of Ccusors.
lhe individuals thus nominated, Messrs W. C. Brad
ley, &c, are men distinguished for their talents
and integrity, have been long and favorably known
to the people Of the county and have the entire
confidence Of the public. The convention who put
in nomination the ticket above named, in the exer-
else Of right secured by the constitution instruct
ed their delegates to oppose the amendments pro-
posed by the Council Of Censors. The resolution
Of instructions was unanimously adopted, by 4
large convention composed Of citizens from all parts
Of the county, and who. 1t is confidently believed,
may safely be regarded as representing the senti-
nents Of great majority o. the county 1t is well
known that each aud every individual thus put in
nomination by the convention, feel bound by said
Instructions aud il elected will act accordingly
The people Of the County OF windham are not
only opposed to the proposed alteration Of the con-
siitution, but they regard the manner in which the
Council Of Censors have called the convention, as
departure from long established usage, as unwar-
ranied by the constitution, and gross usurpation.
They regard the proposition to reduce the number
Of representatives and change the manner Of elect
ing them, as design the part Of the Council to
disfranchise the small towns and to place the pow
er and control of the House of Representatives in
few Of the large towns in the State
In short, it is believed that the people Of the
county are opposed to all the amendments and to
the entire action Of the Council of Censors Elect
then, fellow citizens, the ticket above named, and
you may rest assured that you will have able ad-
yocates in the convention, who will faithfully rep
resent your views and conform to your wishes
