The Burlington Sentinel in an otherwise fair
report o the proceedings of the State Con'en-
ton, has .he following respecting the vote on
the resolution adopted by MIR. Willard
Before the debate closed there were loud and
repeated calls for the question. The convention
had become reduced to about one half what its
number was at the opening OF the session, many
having left the room to 20 to the cars 1t was
evidently the deSiIe vi the advocates OF the resO
luton to have d vote STAYED off as long az posi-
BILE, knowing that by so doing, the numbers OF
its opposers WAS rapidly being reduced owing
to lateness of the hour and the time of tho de-
parturc of the trains A vote was finally Oh
tanned.
The Sentinel is clearl y wrong here and ought
to do the mover and the advocates of the resolu-
tivn the justice to state some facts which do not
appear fully in its report. Those facts are
thes. The motion that the committee on res
olutions be Observation-Disclosures modified by
inserting - requested, instead Of " instructed
to report, ON the coming in of tho Convention
in the afternoon, al clock, was made by MIR.
w
more time might be given to discuss, if desired,
auch resolutions rs might be offered and
this motion was opposed by those who after
wards opposed Mr.. Wizards resolution. Ore
Of the committee on resolutions. Mr.. Roberts,
favored this motion. Notwithstanding the
adoption Of this motion tho committee did not
report till as late as half Pas! three. Moreover
the last speech made on the resolution was made
by Mr.. Green, sgsinst it, unless We except the
remarks made by tho President. And We state
most decidedly that the mover Of the resolution
had no desire or purpose to stave Of a vote, but
ne did desire show Of hands, and got it, show
ing one hundred or more for the resolution
noes no, counted. Will the Sentinel do US the
justice to give is readers this statement-a
statements which VI. bslsve its own reporter will
yOuch tor?
APPLE OF DIscoKD.-W print elsewhere the
comments of the - Conservative - Waterman
upon the State Convention, containing CLASH
cal and promological allusion to an apple Of
dlscord' From this allusion, one might be
led to suppose tina, the apple " was trouble
some because every one in the convention liked
it-a suppositnn that receives considerable en-
couragement from the fact, that, according u
the Wat Gilman 5 report Of the convention, every
one agreed fully with the sentiments of the res
tolution, and it {" was adopted amid the mos
uproarious applause We are inclined to think
however, that oar contemporary did mt mean
Just that but he did mean that u resolution
which expressed in its terms the sense of every
man in the convention, and to whose scope and
bearing no man uttered one word of objection
on his own account, must n t be introduced into
\ Vermont assembly unless it bears the seal and
superscription Of the men who are endeavoring to
run the - conservative machine IN this State.
That kind of party conservatism the convention
at last very distinctly repudiated, and tho time
has been, and since the rebellion too, that the
Watchmax would have rejolced a. heartily at
such result, rs any body.
We are requested to say that the order not to
allow sick and wounded soldiers at New York
TO go home for day even, did not originate
