the coming '.shake in Of the democracy 70
the Federal Offices, has galvanized the Yer

Der, appointed two delegates 10 Philadelphia
At the same convention, Mr. Atkins intro
duced a resolution instructing the Democrats
ic State Committee to appoint the
four delegates at large. This was stoutly
opposed by John Cain, who was not willing
to trust five men to make tie delegates, es-
pccially when a call was circulating i5r a
Democratic State Convention at Wind,cr TO
elect delegates The resolution was there
up n dismissed, bu; Mr. II. B. smith never
tholess called his committee together in Bur
liugton last Tuesday, to choose delegates. in
spite Of Mr.. Cams protests, in his paper,
that the Committee had no business TO 30
anything Of the kind, and that the Dcmoc-
racy Of Vermont was Sc small enough already
without any divisions The chairman Of
the committee and one or two more Of its
members had signed the call for the Windsor
convention but that didn', make any diff
ference. The committee met and made the
following appointments:
