VERMONT DExocRAcY.-The democrats o
Windsor County, at their recent convention
we're even more besottod than the State
democr attic convention in their adherence tC
the old pro slavery doctrine Of the party
and to be entirely in keeping they added a
whiskey tail to the copper head and body Of
their platform. Their resolutions, reported
by the notorious L. 5. Partridge, OF Norwich
arc as follows:
Resolred, That in the Virgins and Kentucky
resolutions Of rs and 'g9, We recognize the
tru. Interpretation of the Constitution Of the
United States, and the time honored-principlts
Of the Democratic party.
Resolrei. That, 10 the language Of Douglas,
We believe this Government WAS made by white
men for white men only, and their posterity
forever. Therefore,
R,soIred, That We are in favor Of the Uuon
as it was, and the Constitution as it Is; aud
opposed to any, and every, amendment TO the
Constitution that interferes with the rights of
States, aud gives more power 10 the general
government.
Resolred, That. We are opposed 20 arbitrary
arrests, even under the plea Of military Neees-
sty." As a usurpation Of power not warranted
10y the Constituton opposed to Military Courts
in time Of peace IN favor Of freedom Of speech,
freedom Of the press, and restoration Of the writ
Of Habeds Corpus
Resoirsd, That one Of the most high-hsnded,
and Outrageous acts Of Executive tyranny on
record has been recently perpetrated, by the AZ
rest of Hon. Emerson Ethtridge, OF tennessee,
candidate for Congress. Such acts merit, as
they will receive, the condemnation Of every
true lover Of his country, and We demand the
punishment Of the perpetrators Of such con-
tempuble acts.
Rssolrei, That the efforts OF the republican
party 10 force negro suffrage and reconstruction
on the Southern States is a wanton outrage
subversiye Of good government, overthrowing
all State Right, aud can only end IN the des-
iruction Of republican institutions.
Resolred. That the present system under
which the direct taxes Of the United States are
levied and collected, tsvors the monied classes
and capitalists, throws the burden upon TIE
small property holders and industrial classes,
establishing a privileged class Of the mesnest
description OF Sristocracy, therefore, resolved /
We will support no man for office that will not
use his best efforts to procure law taxing the I
income from United States BOnds 50 much as
shall make il equal with taxation ON other pro- /
1erly Of Ike vsiro.
Resolred. That We are opposed to the preseht I
Liquor Law of this State. aud IN favor of ju- /
iiciOus license system that will aid TO the reyen-
ie Of the State.

Stephen Thomas of Vermont. Two Of the
Vermont Brigadiers. (Gens. Warner and
Wells) remain in the oervice for the present.
We bad hoped that the services of Vermont
in the war would entitle our State to per-
manent command for one of her generals, in
the peace ari angement of the army; and we
think that if Gen. Stannard had received such
an appointment it would have been no more
than fitting recognition of his distinguished
services and sacrifices. Ii seems, however,
that that was not to be, and it is, perhaps,
not surprising that more uneasy, if not more
valuable officers, have secured the desirable
places in the new deal Never mind, Vermont
will not cease to honor all our brave Vermont
generals. and among them will assuredly not
forget the services and modest worth Of her
favorite of the empty sleeve-the hero Of
Gettysburgh and Fort Harrison.

Enlisted men are not supposed to be posted;
still we do hear some things-for instance, that
q goOdly number of promotions have been made
-one field officer, two or three captains, and
goodly number Of lieutenants.
We see no prospect of soon being discharged.
