that the question between the President

states had forfeited their rights. and that
they could not be represented i'll con"re>S

The rebels were told by their vice prc>i-
dent Stephens, that they had 10 cause for
secession: that they lived under the best
government on earth that the govern
mcnt had never wronrcl them. Yet
when their states seeded, both Stephens
and Gen zee went with them. allrminr
that they Dwell supreme allegiance to The
state, not to the nation. This doctrine of
state rights was what took the south cut

town in the county: and the resolution,
being introduced by St. Johnsbury man
it might look as though this town wanted
power He was in favor of still treating
the other towns with trust and confidence.
When the other towns began to take ad-
vantage of our confidence he would be
for adopting such a resolution until then
be would trust them.
Chas. 5. Dana moved that when the
convention adjourn it dissolve itself into
town conventions to elect committee OF
two from each town represented. to noml-
nate county ticket to be supported by
the treemen Of the county at the APP
preaching election, and to nominate a
county and the several town committees,
which was made as a substitute for Mr..
Wizards resolution. John Bacon 2nd
moved to amend by making the commit
tee from each town three, instead OF two.
+. c. Re!ington supported the original
resolution. He too had confidence in
men. and he wanted men to have conf
dence in him also enough confidence st
that each town might represent itself
He did not believe in one town represent
inc the interests of another better than il
could be done bv the town itself He
did not suppose Caledonia county would
vote itself behind the other counties o
our state that had already adopted tho
system of representation according to vo
tiers.
Mr.. Dana sustained his substitute ii,
said this resolution of Mr.. Willard VA
an attempt to make a deleg gate out of ;
mass convention. 1t was entirely Il mon
@rel affair When the county is ready to
DELEGATE conventions, it will elect its town
delegates, who will come here as deIe1Qtes
and not as 4 mass. Until the county wa
ready to adopt delegate conventions h
was opposed to any mongrcl affair
After Mr.. Willard had replied at lcngtl
to the arguments against his resolution
the substitute of Mr.. Dana, together will
Mr.. Bacon's amendment were carried
The convention then adjourned till

AFTERNOON.

The convention met according to adj
journment. The committees not being
ready to report. David Chadwick of
Burke was called upon to make some re-
marks He reviewed the history Of our
country somewhat from the first election
OF MIR. Lincoln. In the war that followed
he sad it was generally believed that the
south had been punished enough for their
rebellion, and the north enough for their
completely with the slave power. Mr..
Lincoln was aSsas-inatcu. and he WAS not
surprised The whole spirit of the rebels
was the spirit OF assassination. The result
was showing that neither the south nor
the north had been punished enough.
He had no fellowship with the policy OF
Andrew johnson.

Inc called for, reported through &. ".
