MONTPELIER, JUNE 20. 1866.
THE STATE CONVENTION.


The number in attendance was about three hun
dred, and with nimportant exceptions, there
was entire harmony in matters before the Conven-
ton but il was very apparent that another matter
absorbed the attention Of almost everybody
matter which everybody talked about outside Of
the Convention, and everybody was thinking
about in IL. We mean the Senatorial question.
Had that been debatable in Convention, we should
doubtless have had one Of the most excited and
interesting scenes that have ever occurred in Yer
mont. That question OF course did not belong
to the convention, and yet nobody desired to talk
about anything else. Repeated attempts were
made to draw out speakers but none were dis
posed to talk beyond what was necessary and
proper for the business Of the convention.
The denomination Of Messrs. Dillingham; and
Gardner was universally expected and the addi-
ton Of John A. Page to the ticket will undoubt-
edly be acceptable to the people. BY his high
character, financial ability and experience in the
office, he is eminently fitted for successful service.
Mr.. johnson, OF Woodstock, who received the
next highest vote in committee, would have been
personally equally acceptable, but some deemed
hi. location aside from the main line OF commu-
nicaton, a serious objection. Mr. Waite, Of
Brattleboro, declined in convention before the
committee was appointed, and supported Mr..
Page.
We would have preferred not 10 adopt the reso-
luton for delegate conventions. Looking back
for thirty years 20 mass town, county and State
conventions, aud remembering that in no state is
the standard Of political morality so high, in none
the elections so pure, and in none the political
status of the state 50 steady and reliable we feel
like adhering to the old and well-trieJ way. Then
remembering that New \ ork has for more than
thirty years had the delegate system, and that in
no state are politics and politicians more corrupt
and unreliable, we gather assurance that the con-
vention made a mistake. As in our March and
fceemen's meetings everyone has an equal chance
to be heard If he wishes, SO il is in mass conven-
ton. Nobody is excluded. unless he excludes
himself, and then he feels bound in honor to ac-
quiesce in the Judgment OF those who were more
faithful to their privilege and duty
The nomination Of GEN SrANNARD (who ar
rived at Montpelier unexpectedly to many, direct
from Boston, where he is still on duty) for first
Nice-President, WAS received with universal favor.
which changed 70 merriment as DR. Dewey rose
and perpetrated the Joke of the day by gravely
nominating Mr. Clspp, OF Burlington. for second
Aice-President. Unrestrained laughter conyulsed
the convention as the rising and setting suns of
the Custom House took their places side by side
on the platform sight which was allowed 10 be
a strong evidence of the arrival Of the millennium
Free Press.

How does the following from recent edi-
torial 10 the South Carolinian, read by the
side OF Mr.. Stewards rosewater declarations! |!
:" If the South were not completely ex-
hausted, worn out by her four years strug-
gle with the gigantic power Of the North, ,oe
,gould ,gpect 10 zee her again girding up her
loins and preparing for another contest Of arms.
Aud though many Northern men toho believed
in the principle for whieh the South fought
through four bloody years, censured her for
rushing 80 preciptately into that conflict mol
one Of them ,go,,ld question the necessity and
the Justice Of are'ort 10 arms again, II the rad
icsl plan Tor reducing the Southern white
men to the condition Of slaves shall be car
red out
The Southern people made brave dght, and,
when their strength waned, they laid aside
the sword. trusting to the faith that was
pledged to them by the Government they had
opposed. That pledge bas been broken, and
they are no longer bound BY the compact made
,ohen they gaze up the war."

Our readers have seen that Senator Poland did
express some confidence that President johnson
will support the Reconstruction scheme We sus-
pect the Senator's true condition is that Of the
distressed man whose case is recorded in the ninth
chapter of Mark. who said, with tears Lord, |
believe. help thou mine unbeliefn We have
little hope that President johnson will wait to see
the indications OF popular sentiment, and conform
TO them if favorable to the Reconstruction scheme
but not much faith. 1t Is right to hope for the
President IL is prudent for Congressman to for
bear somewhat and let the President take the re-
sponsibility Of breaking from his party and the
people it he will We would find no fault with
Senator Poland for that but il be commits him
self to the Presidents now. on he strength Of con-
hdence in his future conduct Senator Poland may
find his confidence in the President BETRAYED. and
bis reputation for sagaeity badly damaged on
this point the Washington spondent Of the
n Y Independent says:
"lt is claimed by man Hsqubcans that the
President will hnaly--beIpf9 tNttau elections
accept the congressional r. " traoonstruciion
but This is a mistake Poland. bf Vermont, stated
dstictly in the conrse OF the debate his expecta-
ton that the President would urge the acceptance
bellious states but Mr. Poland is one Of those
Republicans who while voting correctly. has tried
very hard 20 persuade himself that the President
was sincere and upright, and would eventually Join
Congress in its policy. One can easily pity the
lack Of penetration OF such men We must doubt
their intelligence, but will not distrust their hon
esty.
Doottle understands great deal better than
Poland what the President is going to do. Would
the vacatng and time-serviug senator from Wis
consin persist in rendering himself odious in Wis
consin, If it possible that the President would
approve Of the measure adopted by the Senate ?
Not for one moment. Mr. Dooittle frequently
ventures 10 confront the opposition OF his CON
stitueuts for the sake OF the President but never
opposes both.
There is out one contingency in which the Pres
dent may be expected to support the proposition
Of Congress and that is when he is satisfied that
be will be badly beaten before the people with his
own plan. If at any time before the congressional
elections he becomes convinced that Congress will
triumph he will withdraw his opposition. But he
is surrounded by hattercrs and deceiyers. Men
who hold lucrative offices and desire 90 please him
suppose that the quickest way TO his heart is TO tel
him that be is sure TO beat the tadicals; that the
people are with him. and against Congress etc,
etc. This is what Doolittle, Dixon, and their set
have been saying to him all the session and it is
not strange that he fails TO perceive his unpopu-
lqrfy"

THE CALEDoNIAN has unwisely aud unkindly
suggested, and the Burlington Times has endorsed
the suggestion, that the Vermont editors do not
reflect the wishes Of the people in respect to Sen
ator, because some of them are postnasters, and
one is a publisher of the laws, and therefore all
owe something to Mr.. Morrill,. But allow us to
suggest, that they are now quite as much depen-
dent upon Judge Poland for their offices as upon
Mr.. Morrill,, Again: all the editors named by
the Caledonian except the editor Of the Benning-
ton Banner, are in Windsor and Windham eouu-
ties and the people Of these counties have already
testified in county convention that the editors in
question did honestly and truly represent them
As TO the editor of the Banner, will say that on
us. and not on Mr.. Morrill,, rested the response
bility of making him postmaster and as we have
never asked him to support Mr.. Morrill, out of
regard 10 our wishes, we think that he supports
him for perfectly legitimate reasons. DO the ed
itors of the Caledonian aud Times remember two
gentlemen who were dis-appointed in reference to
the Burlington post Office aud the publication Of
the laws? Gentlemen in that predieament should
not cast the first Stone.

Mn. MoHuLL AND TUE Wool GRowERs.--Per-
ley tcegraphed 20 the Boston Journal on the 2lst
as follows:
"The House Committee on Ways and Means
make haste slowly with the new tariff, as many
conflicting interests have 10 be heard and adjusted.
The iron men of Pennsylvania will have no reason
to complain of the increased protection given
them. and the cotton manufacturers have not been
neglected.
The wooden manufacturers are quite alarmed at
Mr.. MIorilrs devotion to the wool growing inter-
est, aud they intimate that hc has shown too much
partially TO the wool growers of Vermont, to the
prejudice OF the manufacturers, and that mis- posi-
ton and commanding influence in the House
works to their disadvantage. Mr. Morris friends
on the other hand contend that while it is natural
that he should favor a leading interest OF his own
State and they admit that he does, he Is acting
with entire justice toward the woolen manuiac-
tUrers.'
The fact is that leading wool growers and man
iaeturers have both made known their necessities
to the Senate Committee on Finance aud the
House Committee Of Ways and Means, aud the
wise ones ask only what is just and right to each
interest We have no doubt Mr. Morrill, will
heartily and efficiently support such views. We
well know his solictude for Vermont, and his care
no to do injustice either to her interests or others
For example in the last arrangement Of duties on
wool and wooens, after getting the views Of both
interests, Mr. Morrill, consulted Senator Collamer
specially as most eminently wise and Just man.
