The Vermont Democracy In Labor.

BosroN, July 3.-The Vermont Democratic
State Convention, held at Bellows Falls yester.
day, nominated Benz. H. Smalley, of. Swanton,
for Governor, E. b. Chaplin, of Rutland, for 1t.
Governor and George Washburn, of Springfield,
for Treasurer.
The resolutions assert that the preservation of
the Democratic organization is necessary to the
safety of the country, that it is the duty of the
citizens to support the Government and regreting
the existence OF slavery-assert that the aboi-
ton opinions of a portion of the North have
tended greatly to produce the present war, and
condemn the abolitionists both in and out of
Congress.
The Convention was thinly attended, and not
very harmonious.
