following resolutions, which were unan.
imously adopted:
Resolued, That we still believe in the
self-evident ,rnth that all men are Gre
ated equal, and that this truth only
finds It's just Interpretation and itS per-
feet expression IN constitutions and
laws; which guarantee to every person
equal. civil and political rights.
Resoiued, That we recognize in Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant, soldier whose brill
liant record in war has received add
itionai lustre by his firm, steady, frank
love of justice, freedom and truth in his
administration of military affairs and
and his obedience TO the laws in time
Of peace, and statesman whose Wis
dom, moderation, Judgment and stead
fast adherence TO the principles OF con
stitutional liberty, have stood as rock
upon which the Establishments and the
bullets Of traitors whether in power or
ont have been showered in VAIN. We
but give expression to what is in the
heart of every Republican in Vermont
in joining our voice to the common ae-
claim which names this soldier and
statesman as our leader in the next
Presidential campaign. With him as
chief magistrate, the Republic will once
more triumph over its enemies, and
order and peace will bring their bless
ing to the disturbed land
Resolved, That we approve the action
of Congress in respect to impeachment,
and earnestly call upon the Senate Of
the United States. sitting as a Court Of
Impeachment, to proceed without fear,
favor or affection, and we assure them
the people of Vermont will stand by
and maintain the just judgment of the
law.
Resolved, That we hail the result of
the labors of our Republican brethren
in New Hampshire in their late political
contest as the harbinger of the more
overwhelming defeat which awaits our
enemies in the coming Presidential cam
paign.

Gen. Washburn on assuming the du-
ties of Chairman of the State Conyen-
ton, delivered the following pithy
speech.
Gentlemen Of tie Convention: Two
weeks ago an earnest, deVout clergy
man OF Woodstock prayed thus: ooh,
Lord, wilt Thou remember him whom
we are compelled to call our President
and either exercise out Of him the evil
spirit by which he is controlled, or
cause that his scat be vacated The
process Of exercising that evil spirit
has been tried and has failed. and moth
ing now remains except to hope that
the remaining part of the prayer be
fulfilled and tile seat vacated. For the
purpose Of aiding in securing the adj
vantages which were gained by the
sacrifices Of men and money, made, for
their attainment, now in hazard Of be-
ing lost through the treachery TO his
party and TO his principles Of him who
holds the executive chair, and Of max
ing effective provision that such treach-
cry shall not be repeated, the people Of
Vermont have assembled here ~ their
delegates. / trust that their action
may be rendered effective by the selec-
ton Of gentlemen as delegates to the
National Convention, Of loyalty. good
judgement and integrity, which Will be
the best guaranty Of faithful and effec-
tive aciion.

GES, GRANT As Bor Gen. Grants father says
Of him in the Ledger:
When Ulysses was about twelve years old, the

that part Of the country came TO our neghborhood.
One Or. Buckner who was rather inclined TO be Of
eious on most occasions in order to test the accu
raey OF the phrenologis, asked him il he wenld be
blIndfolded, and then exrmlne head. This was al
one Of his public lectures The phrenologist replied
that he would. So they blndfolded him and then
brought Ulysses forward to have his head e1amin-
ed. lie felt il over for some time, saying scarcely
anything more than to mutter 10 himself at is no

length DR.. Buekner broke in with the inquiry
whether the boy wouldl be likely to distinguish

gist. "n mathematics or any thing else; il would
not be strange II should him President OF the

Ulysses had q very peaceable, equabe disposition,
