The platform of the Addison County
Democrats appears in the following reso-
lutions which were adopted.
Ress,ed, That We cordially adopt the resolu-
tions Of the Democrats State Convention held on
18th of June last.
Resolved, That We approve Of the taxation Of
the income of and on the bonds of the United Sta
tes,-the power Of the Federal Government being
clear and unquestionsble on that subject.
Resolved, That we are utterly opposed to the
p-ofligate schemes Of Congress, in giving away the
public lands On such unreE sonable terms and for
'uch unreasonable purposes, in order to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer, and also We re
gard, with Infinite concern, the arbitrary acts Of
the present and last Congress, in removing from
their seats men fairly and legally elected by Dem
oerats, and placing in their stead men not legally
chosen, for corrupt p~artizsn purposes only,
Rs5o!rs5 That We will sustain the nominations
tnis day niade, and will use all honorable means
10 secure their election.
Resolved, That We tender to I. 5. MeGinness,
car thanks for his able and interesting address.
Resolved, That the publishers Of the Ayyss and
Patriot and the Rutland Colr.e5, also the publish
ers Of the Addison county papers be requested TO
publish the proceedings Of this convention.
Mr.. McGinness of Richmond then held
forth, on invitation of the Convention,
for the space of one hour or more, with
platitudes about economy, reduction of
taxation, consistency, Republican cor
ruption, &c. The convention was har-
monious and a good one, with neither
large numbers nor great enthusiasm.
