: along u little further IN The report OF IN
same convention, AMI 10! we iind-anoth,
cause for this abolition war;
Il. That the only saf', means Of proven
, ing the extension Of slavery. into ierriior
now free, is TO PROHIBIT IT'S ENrEN
SION, into all such territory by AN AC
OF CONGRESS.
One would link this night be satisface
ry, but no; they were bound to contribut
even further to bring on this war;" an
make it "war Of emancipation" So her
goes one more shot frcm the same conven
ton of Vermont democracy: ,
IS. That no more slave states ought L
be admitted into the Union.
Now when has "old e .eeley," or "Charle
Sumner" ever gone further? We follow
this convention one step further. On
readers know well the howl that is sent NJ
by certain class in mo lern days, abou
our" personal liberty laws" " notification,
" nfraclion of the Constitution" &c. Re
ferring directly to one Of these same laws
the convention above named, gave the fol
lowing and last shot, which, perhaps, was the
last straw which brought on this present
unholy war;"
10. That the law passed by our last Leg
islature in relation TO the IIabeas Corpus. is
a proper safeguard to the liberties Of our
| oft, ord a IS Tho
al liberty of our citizens, and just exer-
else of tue power of the State, to protect
all within its limits, from summary and
iyrannical proceedings.
Here YOU have old Greeleyism,' per-
sonal liberty laws" and abolition" fresh
and dripping from the democratic party.
Now it will doubtless be refreshing to know
who some Of the actors in "bringing about
this war;" have been, 50 that it may bear
Enthusiastically the democratic stamp. Very
well. On the committee who reported the
above resolutions we find the name of JEFF
ferson p. Kidder, well known democrat,
formerly of Randolph, and Lieutenant gov
ernor of this State in 1858. On this same
committee, too, we find the name of limo
thy p. Redfetd, late Breckenridge demo.
cratic post master at Montpelier. And still
farther, (heaven save the mark J we find
the name of JOHN CAIN, of the Rutland
Courieri Yes, John Cain, who announce:
the removal of Fremont, as GLORIOUS news,
on account Of his abolition proclamation,
is one Of those to-day, who declares tht
war to have been brought on by the "Llacl
republicans" aboltionists," &c, of which
he himself has been among the blacklist or
der. Yes, he who has spent SO much breatl
over our personal liberty laws " and Il. V
Marsh Of Brandon, was the very man t.
endorse them when made. If, therefore
any one who fancies he is an extraordinar,
democrat, and that the great and unpardon
able sin Of abolition" lies not at the dool
of his party, let him commence his repent
ance Immediately al home. We have be.
come sick of SO much pratng about " thi:
war brought on by black republicans" ant
abolitionists; and if the demagogues in the
North, who cover up their sympathy with
the traitors, are to continue this kind O
miserable twaddle and nonsense. they vii
find in us a combatant. We might multi
ply democratic, anfi-slavery, abolition agi
tation almost indefinitely, bringing the evil
dence, if necessary for more thorough
comprehension of of some, right down here
in Bellows Falls, and may do so hereafter
but have not tue space this week. Wher
you find one who continually whnes about
"black republicans having brought or
this war" you have found one who is dem.
agosue and a secessionist you can know
him by the fact that his efforts are not d.
rected against the traitors, but against hi,
old former political opponents and occa
sionally honied phrase about our mis-.
guided brethren of the South"
