The Democrats of Vermont, at their State Con-
venton on Friday, adopted the following resolu-
tons
ResOlref, That the Democrats Of Vermont re-
cognize the Constitution of the United States a.
the supreme law from which the Federal Govern
ment derives its authority that the rights and
powers not therein delegated TO the General Gov
eminent belong to the States. and al attempts to
usurp, override or impose conditions upon the
several States without constitution authority
are unjust, oppressive and sub,er>ive or the
rights of the people.
Resolved, That the persistent and repeated
violations of the Constitution and constitutional
laws by the Radical party since that party has
had control Of the General Government merit the
condemnation of all good citizens, and has and
shall receive the continual and determined OPP
position of the Democratic party.
Resolred, That the prohigacy and corruption
which has entered into all the official stations Of
the Federal Government, the favoritism that has
appointed to positions Of public trust the psr'i-
sans or tools of those who control the public
patronace, should be denounced by all true
friends of the Union.
Res0lrea. That we still have faith in the Wis
dom and integrity Of the people, and that ulti-
mately they will rise in their majesty and
strength and hurl from power our present cor
rupt rules and restore the Government to its
original purity.
Resolred, That We commend the ticket this
day nominated for Governor, Lieut.. Governor
and Treasurer, to the cordsl support Of the free
men Of the State on the first Tuesday Of Septem-
Der next.
These resolutions show that the Vermont
der rats, like the Bourbons, " learn nothing
anG arget nothing" It is the old story, the
old expression Of longing fora return Of the days
ofdemocratic control Of patronage and pap.
What blessed time it will be for the country,
to be sure. when the corrupt republicans are all
turned out IF office, and the pure and high mind
ed democracy turned in, and wheu there will be
no more " prohigscy anl corruption, no more
&c fayori,sm, or partisan control Of the public
patronage But for this political millennium
our democratic friends must visit a little
longer"
