The resolutions adopted by the recent

of the noblest form of government upon
the EARTH
Resolucd, That the enemies of constitu-
tional liberty in their efforts TO restore to
power the Bourbon elements of despotism
and oppression so signally routed and over
[ thrown under the efforts of our brave sol
'diers, led on by Generals unsurpassed in
bravery and galantry in the world, only
show their desire TO reinstato policy at
war with the true interests of the nation
and subversive of the rights OF man.
ReSolUed, That we heartily endorse the
plat form adopted by the National Repub-
llcan Convention at its late session in Phil
adelphia, and we believe that the princi
pies there announced and to be carried out
by Republican administration will adj
vance tho moral and material interests of
our whole country during the next four
years more than those interests have been
advanced during any four years of its his
tory.
Resolved, That with enthusiasm we en-
dorse the nominees of the Philadelphia

Wick sburgh, that drove Lee into Rich
mond, that drove Lee out of Richmond,
and that shone in magnanimity at Apo
mattox Court House. We believe, too, in
the consistent friend of the freedman and
the laboring man everywhere, Henry Will
son, whose head and heart have remained
undistur bed by long continuance in office.
with these tried leaders at the front we
guarantee to the Republican party of the
country that Vermont still continues the
'Star that never SETS" and that in Novem-
Der next we will show such vote for the
Republican nominees rs will silence the
guns of tho opposition for four years to
come.

borders, train the abe-bodied for the de-
fence of the State in time of need, suppress
crime, and punish every breach of law, re-
strain vice, pay the State debt with the
least possible burden TO the people, encour-
age mining and manufactures, while we
do not neglect the interests of agriculture,
and so manage the entire interests of the
commonweal In as 10 keep our young men
within the borders of Vermont.
Re SolUed, That the illegal traffic in in
toxicatng drinks is a prolific source of
temptation, poverty, taxation and crime,
causing needless and heavy burdens TO fall
on many innocent citizens. 1t is therefore
the duty Of the State, in accordance with
its highest interests and its present settled
policy to protect the people from the evil,
and the results that follow such illegal
sales.
Resoirod, That we fully and heartily en-
dorse the nominees of this Convention and
we pledge ourselves and those we repre-
sent TO renewed labor in the cause of Re-
publican principles that their election may
not only be assured but that it may be a
fortaste OF the utter defeat in November
next, of Greeley principles and Cincinnati
platforms, and Democracy, present, past or
future, whether represented by men or
platforms.
