Its highly gratifying to see how grea
Snajority of the Democracy Of Vermont
with true. and patriotic indignation, repu
sdiate the acion'of a few unscrupulous seces
sion demogogaes, who gotu and manages
the pretended democratic State Conven
fcion," held in this place. We announced tn
general uprising Of the Vermont democrat
against this sham concern, last week, an.
smade wenticn of many of the leading mel
an the movement. Since which many 9th
ser prominent democrats, have takee sim
ilar and truly naicnal and patriotic position
The Burlington Sentinel, democratic pa
per of more than half century, and
whose Editors attended the convention at
this place,---is out for the union ticket put
sup at Montpelier, and repudiates the Bel
Rows Falls convention. Here is what the
Sentinel says in its last issues
I'VE. attended, therefore, the Convention
at Bellows Falls. But we must say to our
n'eaders that our scora approximations respect
Sng IL ,oere more than realized. There was
almost an entire absence of old and leading
Democrats from the meeting. The State
at large could hardly be said to be repre-
scented in it all; whiletthe bulk Of the as
'semblage was made up-es was intended
by the getters.up Of the Convention---of
focal attendance Of persons from the adjoin-
ing towns,in Windham and Windsor coun-
ties, unconscious seemingly ofhe true nature
sofMe mighty struggle IN sctich Tie cosut,y

sriotia3yapathytor a snccesstilmatnteaa
of u on 1sc part Of tie rational admiaistra-
0ion. Ne one accustomed to the old DEM
socratic gatherings of the State, on looking
around in that meeting in the hall at Bel
lows Falls on the I'd inst. would have re-
cognized his being in Democratic Con-
vention, much less that of Democratic
State Convention of Vermont. 1t is doing
At no injustice to say Of that it was utterly
unworthy Of The name The wonder is that
with such gathering and with such lead
-ership as she whole thing had fallen under,
so little mischief was DONE"
In speaking Of the action of the Montpe-
der Convention, the Sentinel says:
Respecting the Union Convention at
Montpelier, we must frankly say that its
character and action have agreeably dsap-
pointed Ms. 1t was not made a patty Con-
scentfon, but was really what its call propos-
ed it should be--and what that of last year /
should have been-o Union Convention.-
A democrat, the Hon. S. B. Colby, was APP |
pointed to preside over it. A democrat
the Hon. T. Dillingham--identi6ed with I
our party all through the past, ard always |
prominent in its ranks and faithful to its !
principles and its interests,-was nominate
ed for Lieut.. Governor while on the State
Commitee two well known democrats. Mr..
Englesby and Mr.. Colby, were generously
placed AS members. All in this respect
was done that could have been asked. A
TAR and honest carrying out Of genuine
Union programme was made, and democrats
have no ground for fault-fnding. Ii plea
'ses, indeed, the editors 70 the Rutland Cour-
ser and of the Bellows Falls Argus to de-
nounce. Mr.. Dillingham; as renegade to
riis old party.--But when such men as he
are read out of the Democratic party by
John Cam and Hiram Atkins, we may safe
Iy conclude that it is not Mr.. Dillingham;
hut themselves who are the "outs,' and that
little else but the name and form of Demo-
cracy remains with them.
We shall ourselves vote the Union
sicket1
We ask all democrats to give thoughtful
consideration to the above extracts.
The North Star, another democratic pa
per printed at Danville, thus sums up its
opinion of the recent convention at this
place:
In short, there seems to us to have
been want Of that bold, fu,l-ioned patrio-
tic sentiment 'characterizing the proceed
sngs, which might have been eVinced, and
which the existing war crisis demands
Entertaining these views, we do not feel it
our duty at present, if at all, to give our
support TO the nominations. We are not
strenuous about sustaining party organiza-
lions at ibis Time for mere pa,ty's sake. The
country, the Government, yea the Admin
ustratiou, demands now the cordial, united
support Of ali loyal citizens in one mighty
effort to meet and overcome armed rebel
lion."
Thus Che north part Of the State stands
solid for the Union, and presents united
front against all sympathy with southern
treason.
