emphatically declares in favor OF hO"
interference in state or territory, the true
INTERPRETATION of which is to permit the
so,tl, and their northern allies TO colonise
Kansas and all other territory now tree'
with their slaves, drive out the freeman
who dares to 60 there, and take entire
control of the territory consecrated to
freedom by series of compacts made in
GOOD faith. Such is the platform the
Democratic party stands upon, and such
is Mr.. Buchanan their candidate for the
Presidency. He has lost his identity and
is swallowed up in that platform accord
ing to his own public confession.
We do not wish to be understood TO say
that the masses of that party at the north
are in favor of slavery. We believe the
masses are at heart anti-slavery men,
But their free soilism is of negative
quality when they take no active mea-
sures to spread its influence, When they
declare in faver of non-interference, they
in effect declare in favor of slavery, as
that party is well aware that the whole
course of the administration since. it ha;
been in power is to bid for southern IN
fuence. Its whole policy since the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill was first introduced II
the Senate, has been to yield to the de
mands of the south. 1t has employed al
the power at its command to crush TIL

their stead the hordes of the slaveocracy

The Convention to nominate delegates
to the Constitutional Convention met at
this place pursuant to adjournment, and
was called to order by the president,
Thomas Jameson, and George Worthing-
ton Jr., was chosen Secretary.
On motion, a committee of one from
each town represented was appointed to
nominate five delegates to represent the
county in the Constitutional Convention
to be holden at Montpelier, on the first
Wednesday of January next, which COM
mittee reported the following names
Elijah Cleveland, Coventry; Freder-
lex Fuller, Troy; Nelson Rand, Crafts
bury: Horace Pierce, Barton John L.
Edwards, Derby. The report was ac-
cepted and adopted.
The following resolutions were intro
duced by ]. II. Prentiss Esq. =
ReSolred, That we do earnestly protest
against the action of the Council of Cen
sors in calling a Convention to be organ
ised on the basis, and with the limitation
of numbers, prescribed by them, as being
an unauthorized assumption of power
in contravention of all prior usage and
at variance with the construction which
has been practically given to the Consti-
tuition by the people of this State in all
time hitherto since it was adopted.
ResoLred, That we do hereby advise
and request the delegation from Orleans

pie of this County, against any claim OIL
Constitutional authority in such Conven
ton, to act upon the proposed amend.

I-nder onr srstem Of government, otii-

Under onr system of government 0n'-
ees of all kinds, from President down 10
a School Committee, and suited TO al
grades of capacity, from the highest 70
the lowest, are thrown out for general
scufile by political aspirants. The con-
sentence of this state of things is to ere
ate in society an unnatural appetite Tor
political promotion, and we have hosts OF
individuals who are looking for offices OIL
some kind or another.
Our system of annual elections keeps
the community continually in fever
heat on the subject of politics. Presl-
Dental, Congressional and State elections
follow each other in rapid succession
We hardly recover our quiet from the
shock of one election, before the political
managers are again at work to elevate
some new patriot to some coveted Office
The consequence is that we all become
more or less politicians, the peace of So
ciety is disturbed by the Jealous action o.
wordy demagogues, and the public minc
is disturbed from more profitable subjects
by the eternal clamor of political discus
sion.
If we have but biennial elections TO
our state Legislature, we may hope occa
sionalIy to enjoy year of quiet in poll
tics. If the number of representative
is diminished, we may hope there will b
fewer candidates in the field, and if sucl
should be the result, we need not fea
that the morals or the peace of societ.
would suffer by the change.

mont. especially one "native and to the
born" who would not blush to see
spread before the world as a part OF the
,critten and deliberately adopted constitu-
ton of his state, such a solecism, such
murdered syntax, as the above! SEND
YOUR Council of Censors; let them learn
the rudiments of grammar before they
seek to teach and write for the people the
elements of state. Contrast their Ian
guage with the pure rich English OF the
original Constitution of Vermont.
In the 18th article of the " Declaration
of Rights" it is said THAT frequent re-
eurrence to fundamental principles, u.s.
absolutely necessary to preserve the
blessings of liberty, and keep government
free" Did the Council ever read the
Declaration of Rights? They should
have considered a recurrence TO the fun
damental principles of grammar abso-
lutely necessary to preserve the English
language, and keep thought free. We
do not think in their effort to establish
" democratic" principles and to repel mo-
narchical features in the Constitution,
they can be justified in making such hor-
rible onslaught upon the " Kings Eng
| lish" also. We must at any rate preserve
that imperial lineament in our organic
law.
The Council should have considered
that if there be any law that should be
stable. enduring in its characteristics, anC
exempt from continual change, it is EN-
phatically that which is the ground worl
of all other law. Hands of, should b.
the rule applied to the Constitution, un
less there appears an absolute, pressin,
necessity for change. The Council d
not avow any such necessity as this, bu
seem TO be actuated by an itching desir
: to put forth, for the admiration of the fu
ture, some work of their own CREATION
to do something that will be an achtert
ment, something that will "give to tn
4. body of the times their form and pres.
I ure." We believe that, in the judgmer
: of the people, the Council would hay
E wrought a more enduring fame for then
: selves, if, when they met, they had r
II solved that the Constitution as il is, ";
p a fabric too wonderful and devised by *
cunning workmen, in all the parts Their
of, for their wisdom to improve on.

Amendments of the Constitution.

The Council of Censors, in their " Adj
dress" say " that annual sessions of the
Legislature have a direct tendency TO
render the system of legislation unstable"
that "the laws of one session are fire.
quently altered, amended, or repealed,
before they are understood and tested by
the people" This they say is trouble
some to business men" and even law
yers' have to study TO know what the law
is, and the Council think /" time ought to
be given to test the utility of laws before
they are stricken from the statute book.
Now, we think these things happen, not
so much because the sessions of the Lee
gislature are annual, but because each
Legislature thinks of itself, as the late
Council of Censors appear to have tho't
of themselves, viz: that they are consid-
cradle wiser than any Of their predeces-
sors, and that under their guidance the
state will approximate good deal nearer
and more rapidly to perfection. If the
. Council were " without sin" in the par
!. ticular for which they charge the Legs
: lature, we think they might with better
grace have cast a stone, but as facts are
} they would appear less censorious in the
t odious sense of the term, if they had lei
5 stones alone. Perhaps however, they
: thought the duty Of a censor was accord
/ ing to its literal import, viz to find fault
t Yet, even then, we think if they had beer
: well imbued with modesty they woulC
t have "cast first the beam out of thei
e own eye" when they would have seeI
more clearly to pull out the mote tba
t they say was in the eye of the Legisla
t ture. We can but imagine that Will
: the Council were pulling at the mote
: they must have felt sharp sympattett
o pains as if " silver" were drawing o.
o the nerves of their own optics. VIVA
y are they doing but attempting to altel
e amend, and repeal" parts of the funda
a mental law, and render the Constitutio
e unstable" Why do they So? Doubt
+ less they think they can lop off excres
N ences and deformities, and simplify an
e render more perfect the handiwork {
l. theirpredecessors. In this effort to pate
lie their wisdom seems TO have been at faul
in and they have truly made confusio
worse confounded."
