AFTERNOON.
Convention me, according to adjournment,
aud while awaiting the report Of the commit
tees, Hon. 4, Fahbank, made some state
-mcu,, in regard TO the State Convention held
at Brattlcboro u few weeks ago.
The committee on resolutions reported
through their chairman the following, which
were accepted 49,
Rcsolred That the Republicans of Gale
donin County renew their assurance of faith
in the principles OF free government as scour-
ell in the Constitution, aud as a declaration
thereof We agree with the founders Of the
constitution that the same was adopted To
"sccutc a more perfect union, establish JUS
tice aud secure the blessings OF liberty to
ourselves and our poSterity.'
Rcsolrcd As means to this end we hold
the doctrine of sovereignty of the people
over the territories OF the Union, '--and'as Il
legitimate made popular sovereignty, it is the
right of the people, and their duty, through
Congress, to protect the territories now, and
hereafter acquired against the curse Of SLAVE
labor, and for freS labor, free thought and
Tree action.
Resolrcd That the doctrine promulgated
by the United States Supreme Court in tho
bred Scott deci,ion,--that the constitution
of iLsolL establishes slavery in the territories,
is an alarming innovation upon that instru-
meut is tl-Republican,and should be resist
ed until the same is set free from SO foul Ii
bel upon its spirit.
Rcsolred, We make no war upon the mu-
ncipal regulations of the slave states other
wise than to hold up before them the light
of truth but We Solcmuly protest against the
first approach Of such lns having any bind
ing force In the Free States or Free Terrific
rieg.
R,solred, That as American citizens and
Vcrmouters wc held the Union of the states
under the federal constitution To he in,iola-
