The meeting adjourned from Friday P. NJ.

chair The resolutions which were laid on
the table at the close of the meeting on Fri

Mr. Benedict SAID that the scheme OF get

appoint delegates to a National Convention
at Baltimore on the 18th inst was OF no i'm

But the real object of the move beyond les.
ton, was to produce an impression in
other States that to great extent those in
Vermont who had been members of the Wbi,
party, were in reality opposed to the election
Of Fremont and Dayton, and in favor Of Mr.
Fillmore, the candidate of the "South Ameri.

to Fremont, it will have great effect on men
who do not understand the truth Of the case,
and induce many of them to go for Fillmore
or Buchanan. The thorough exposure of
this scheme becomes therefore a matter of
great Importance. Some of tho men who
are concerned in it quite likely are the dupcs
Of others but thero can be no doubt that
There is evidence enough that the same
game, substantially, is in operation in other
States. Mr. Benedict read from Michigan
paper powerful article signed by 26O well
known men of Detroit and vicinity, pro-
testing against the use of the name of the
Wings of Detroit" by certain corrupt po-
liticians in that State, who were attempting
under that name to lure " the Wings of
Michigan" to vote for Buchanan.
q. B. Sawyer, Esq, said that this Whig
National Convention at Baltimore was known
to be concoctcd by Rufus Choatc, Caleb
Cushing, and other renegade Wings and
avowed Loco locos. to help the failing chan

J.S.Adams, said that as the Republicans of
Burlington would undoubtedly be denounced
for entering the mis- called Wing State Con-
yenton yesterday, 1t might be well to remem-
Der the'fact, that Rev DR.. Wheeler, the
chairman Of that Convention, had. till very
recently, participated in the conventions and
deliberations of the Republican party. and
that Mr.. Harry Bradley, prominent mem
Der Of the Convention, had also acted with
the Republicans, attending their caucuses
and conventions, and actually serving on one
of the committees Of the Republican District

Mr. Benedict added that at the 'Whig State
Convention held in Rutland June :, 1854 res

1--WE hold negro Slavery TO be right,
right per sc, right in itself, in the nature
and necessity of things; that while there
are defects or imPerfeciions of detail. as
in everything else. and in all human in-
sti:uti0ns, there are. perhaps, no more
evils connected with Southern society
than that at the North; that negroes are
negroes, and not white men; and, there
fore, the peculiar domestic institution of
the South is no slavery at all; but. on the
contrary. the natural relation of the ra-
ces, and the moral condition Of society,
whenever or wherever whites and negroes
are in juxtaposition. And we further
hold that slavery extension, SO called, or
the free. full. and unembarrassed move
ment Of the Southern population. or its
perfect freedom of expsnsion-of emf.
gration-of development southwark and
tropicward, is absolutely essential to the
peace. progress and safety of American
civilization, and indeed. to the very ex-
is;ence of the American Republic. And
in our frequent articles on this particular
phase of the mighty question pow upon
us. and before the people for their action.
we have said that the Northern Democ-
racy. when the question should be pre-
scented to them, would be in favor Of the
free extension OF Southern population,
or as the dupes Of imposture would term
il, the extension Of slavery
