the largest and the most imposing in every
respect, chat ever assembled in the State
Among The resolutions passed by the con

ResoEred, That we cordially approve Of
Of the administration Of James Buchanan,
believing it to be marked by ability, impair
tiality. and devotion to the constitutional
rights Of all sections of the country and
more especially do we endorse his position
in favor Of the immediate admission Of Kan

regard that measure as essential to the quiet
Of the country, and an act Of simple justice
the rejection Of which can only be viewed
as blow aimed at the equality Of the States

~ Only nine (9) of the $50 towns in Yer

We find the above extract from the Yer
mont IPatclman copied into very many of
the Republican papers. We cannot believe
that Mr.. Walton, the present member of
Congress from this District, intended to con-
vey to the public the erroneous statement
which the article bears ON its face Why,
this Congressional District alone, has five
towns that give Democratic majoritics viz:
Sunderland, Sherburn, Sudbury, Moretown,
and Roxbury. 1t is enough to bear a defeat
and have the mstortunes honestly stated with
out being subjected to the imputation that
only nine to'cas gave Democratic maoritics at
the recent election. Before saving anything
more on this subject we give the IPatciman
an opportunity to make the correction, which
we have no reason to doubt it will do prompt

Mr. Thayer met this criticism frankly, avow-

himself from the Republican party, but to do,
through the people, occupying the new terri
tories, what the Republican party will not
have the power to do for years.
