At the Democratic STATE Convention
held in Montpelier about z couple OF
weeks since, Hiram Atkins 5ried to get
an expression of the convention to the
effect that the neutrality laws the en-
foreeKent of which by the President de-
feated She late Fenan attempt on Cana
da, should be repealed. John Cain OF
Rutland opposed this, and said that a
repeal OF the neutrality laws would be
equivalent to g declaration of war with
Great Britain. Cain was afraid of John
Bull, but not of the Fenians. Eowif the
Fenians OF Rutland adopt resolutions
like those Of the Burlington Fenians,
