The Sixth Vermont on Copperheads,

The following patriotic resolutions Transmitted
by the Sixth Vermont regiment to Ex-Governor
Fairbanks, we find in the Caledonian. They show
pretty cOnclusvely how the Sixth Vermont view
the cowardly conduct Of the men at home, who
are basely crying for peace while rebellion is still
defying the Government
Whereds. Our country is unfortunately en-.
gaged in bloody and protracted war, calculated
10 awaken all its energies and call forth all its re
sources and whereas a portion OF the people Of
Vermont are open and avowed sympathizers with
traitors, and are doing everything in their power
to transform the rebellion into successful revo.

ReSolped,-Iha our most cherished institu-
tons are impered, and our national existence
threatened by the cunning and gigantic efforts
Of red handed treason
Rtsolued, That it 10 with feelings Of the deepest
sorrow we behold the exhibition OF bitter part.
IAN spirit at home, the sole tendency of which
must be to parslyze the arm Of the government,
in its honest and untiring efforts TO crush most
unholy rebellion and that at this time when
only united effort is necessary to give triumph to
our cause and permanent peace to our country
such an exhibition Of partl2an spirit is calculated
10 diminish the zeal of our friends, weaken our
chosen rulers, disheGrten our armies and encour.
age our foes.
