charge of every species of Indebtedness, matter

in safe and convenient form to meet the necessary
requirements of the business and labor of the
try.
There shall be privileged class of creditors.
official salaries pensions bonds and all other debts
and obligations, public and private, shall be dis
charged in the legal tender money of the United
States strictly according to the stipuatons of the
laws under which they were incurred.
The public lands are the common property of the
whole people, and should not be sold to specula-
tors and granted to railroads corporations, but
should be donated to actual settlers in limited
quantities.
All useless offices should be abolished, the most
rigid economy enforced in every branch of the pub

public officers who betray the trusts reposed in
them.

Greenbackers in Vermont.

A state convention of the Greenback
party was held at Burlington, August
LIST. 1t brought together nearly two
hundred people, largely from Franklin
county, where Greenback clubs have
been organized. The company listened
to harangue by John R. Forrest of
Winooski, passed resolutions, and ad-
.jOurned to meet at st. Adams, August
22d, at which time it is proposed to nom
mate a state ticket. There are rumors
that Bradley Barlow, the defeated can
didate at Hyde Park, will be induced
to accept a nomination by the Green
hackers, and run for Congress against
Gen. Circuit, after all. We do not know
how much foundation there is for that
suspicion, but some indications point
that way. One thing seems certain,
the "Greenback craze" has struck that
portion of our state, and the theory of
abundance of "money" is an alluring
one to most minds. OF this convention

citizens of Vermont there was cOnspic-
