TIE STATE CONVENTION.


candidates for Governor, Lieut. Governor and
Treasurer. which appears at tho head Of our
editorial columns this week, is the came
call as last year, excepting that Of last
year invited all who we're in favor Of "sup-
porting the Federal Government in its efforts
TO suppress rebellion and put down treason"
while ,hc present call invites all who arc in
favor of "susta ming the National Admins
tration in the present crisis Of tho country"
The latter Is signed by the Republican State
Committee, as was the former; but The COM
mittoe OF this year was appointed by the Con-
vcntion Of last year, and in issuing the pres
cnt call we doubt not thoy had in view the
carrying out Of the same idea as that which
dictated the call cf last year--thc union Of all
loyal men in tho State in opposition to trea-
son and rebellion and as there are very few
men in the State who do not sustain Mr. Lin
coins administration, which is for the present
the National Government, the call invites such
only to participate in the proceedings Of the
Convention
Although, on the face Of it, it is to be a
Republican Convention, yet the call is not on
y liberal. but broad enough to embrace the
whole people Of the State. We should be
sorry to believe that there are any cousidcra-
bic number Of the freemen Of Vermont who
do not sustain the emincntly honest and pa
uiotc administration Of Abraham Lincoln
and if uuwise and premature counsels do not
rule the Convention when met, we believe
that there will be eater unanimity than ever
in the election the coming fall
As to who shall be the nominees Of the
Convention it seems almost premature to
canvass the ground The present ncumbents
are all good men, and have dischafgedihe du..
ties OF their respective offices will signal obil-
it! aud to the very general satisfaction OF the
people Of the State, and we doubt if the peo-
pie will be benefited bya change Of any one
Of them. We hope to see the present ticket
re-nominated; aud feel confident that ne OPP
position to il will be much less throughout
the State the present year than It was last
year.
As indicating the feeling Of the people res
pecliug the POLITICAL action OF the State. we
