The National Convention,

Under our Editorial head will be found the
designation of time and place Of the National
Republican Convention. This is the opening
Of the campaign which we trust is to give vic
tory to the right in 1861. A thorough discus
sion Of men and measures, and a complete ex-
change of opinion should be had previous to
the assembling of the Convention. These prinel-
piles are such as live, and will find a hearty
response in every brue heart. They are EN-
phatically peaceful, and in favor of Justice and
Freedom for every being in every part of the
Nation, and the man who will make his Ad
ministration the embodiment of these princi-
Piles, is the man for President There will, of
course be objections raised by the sympathizers
of Slavery and Mormonism, that there are only
some twenty States out of thirty-onc represent
ed in this platform of principles, but the same
objection can, with the greater propriety be
raised against the Sham Democracy, or South
ern party, and were free speech tolerated in the
South us at the North, there would be full as
pippNltioh VI puDliCdHo III bUo
Southern States as there are Sham Democrats
in the Northern. There is, however, this differ
ence,- Southern PARTY declare for treason
and disunion, if the Republicans succeed, and
there are Il few scattered traitors in the North
doing their spy-work, as in the memorable
struggle for Liberty to which our platform re-
fers US; while, on the contrary, the Republi
cans are strong in their faith, and will repose
in their quiet the same whether the principles
of their choice succeed:dt the enemies Of Free
dom and Justice tramnle upon their rights
They have no threatsSJr the voice of the peo-
Pile Of their country when legltimatcly express
ed at the ballot box. They will preserve the
| Union and defend the Constitution forever,
trusting to HIM who judgeth the right for
their reward.

Fair in Vermont, gave an address, in which he
very plainly told the farmers assembled that
they were giving their attention altogether too
much to the raising of horses that it was in

We trust some of our delegation in Congress
will notice this at the earliest opportunity-af-
ter the " Impending Crisis" s sufficiently ad-
vertised-as grave and dangerous invasion of
the Constitutional right of Vermont to raise
horses. What is our sacred bond of Union
worth, what is the Constitution of the United
States worth, when Vermont " institution, )"
like horse-raisng, is thus condemned. and that,
too, by a Governor of neighboring State.
Has not our d" Constitutional right to raise
horses been trampled upon? Haven't we
right to hoist the flag of disunion in company
with our aggrleved friends in Virginia, and an
mex ourselves to Arabia, where horses are an
l." institution of themselves? Two horses have
actually been stolen in the State, since this sin
cendiary' speech of Gov. Banks, and we call
upon our Courts to investigate the case, and in
quire whether Gov. Banks, cannot be made an
accessory before the fact, to these thefts, they
being In some measure the " logical deduction
from his g incendary opinion And in tn,
event Of Gov. Banks being elected next presi
dent, we wish to know whether the farmers il
Vermont intend to stay longer in the Union?

WILL You STICK '--Reading that part of the
Governors Message which speaks of the read-
nes of Vermont to release fugilves from ser.
vice, and comparing it with the g Personal Lib
erty Bill which received the Governors sigma
ture, reminds one of the fulowng anecdote:
Daniel Webster, as the story goes, was once
arguing case before the Superior Court. In
the midst of his plea, the Judge interrupted
hrm by saying the Court would decide the case
in accordance with his view Of it, whereupon
Mr.. Webster closed his remarks Subsequently
On reviewing the case, the Court decided it diff
ferently, Mr.. Webster then asked for a further
hearing which was granted. In the midst Of
his plea he was again interrupted by the Court
intimatiug that they should decide the case in
accordance with his argument. Mr.. Webster
still continued his plea. By and by the Cour
interrupted him again, saying, Mr.. Webster

Our State Convention.

We suggested the propriety of a State Con-
vention during the recent Session of the Legis-
lature, for the purpose of electng delegates to
the National Convention in 1861 as at that
time it would have been more convenient for u
representative from each town to have been
present. But the State Committee, for obvious
reasons, thought otherwise, and it was general
ly conceded that that there should be Conven-
ton during the winter. As the time and place
of holding the National Convention is now de-
termined upon, it may be well to again suggest
the matter of our State Convention.
The Convention should be held in some CEN
trail part of the State, as it will be inconven-
lent for a majority of the delegates to be absent
from home long time during the cold weather.
BY the Call for the National Convention, it will
be seen that Vermont is entitled to four dele
gates at large, and two from each Congressional
District. As to who or what these delegates
shall be, itmay not be amiss to venture word.
With the present triumph of the Republicans
over the minions of tyranny, as indicated by
the success of true Jeffersonian principles in
nearly every Northern State, and the dignity
maintained in the present struggle for Speaker,
while the Opposition are driven to an agitated
and furious disunion minority, it is not necessa-
ry to auow any intention of interfering with
Slavery in the States where 1t exists, nor of
squirting up the Ire Of the South by any inham
atory resolutions, nor the appointment OF men
who would naturally give Inference to any bit
terness towards the Southern portion of the
Union. We owe them no hatred. 1t will be
necessary, however, to avow distinctive princi-
Piles of opposition to tie extension Of Slavery,
and therefore men of sound Republican princi-
pies, men who came. not into the party for the
sake of being on the popular side but men
whose principles are known, and who have long
cherished an abiding faith in the declaration
that all persons are created free and equal
should be selected We are not a disunionist
but on the contrary, we are in favor Of the
preservation Of the Union at all hazards and 9
settlement of all questions of moral or poltica
right and wrong by peaceful discussion and ar
appeal to the ballot-box. In this free land, tn,
discussion of the majority must be submitted to
in political action, until it can be overthrown
and evils must be tolerated until reason can sue
cessfully combat them.
The Convention will be a delegate Conven
tion, and made up from the last September vot
for Governor, according to the instructions .
