from the Vermont Waterman, 18th inst.l
The foundation stones of the Republican
party were laid by the last Wing State con-
vention of Vermont, at Rutland, on the 9TH
of June, 1854, in a series of resolutions drawn
by Hon. i. p. Walton, and designed to bring
about harmony and united action of all the
citizens of Vermont who were opposed to the
pro-slavery policy which then ruled in the ma
tional government. Two leading men of the
then Frce-soil party were present, though not
acting in the convention to wit the late
Lawrence Brainerd of St. Adams, and ex-
Governor Fletcher of Cavendish. Mr. Wal
ton submitted the resolutions to these gen
tlemen, who approved them, as being as
strongly anti-slavery as Il Wig convention
would be disposed to adopt. The resolutions
were then reported to the convention, adopt
ed by unanimous vote, and honored with
three rousing cheers Stephen Royce was
nominated for governor, Oscar l.. Shafter
for lieutenant governor, and Henry NJ. Bates
for treasurer. When the mass convention
met at Montpelier on the 18th of the sue
ceeding July, the members of the Wing State
central committee We're in attendance, hope
fully watching for good fruits from the plat
form presented by the Wings at Rutland
Their hopes were met The Republican
platform proved to be, in every important
particular, identical with that adopted at Rut-
land in the preceding June. The way was
therefore fairly open for a union upon COM
mon principles. General Walton, an old and
earnest Wing, as soon as he was nominated
by the Republican convention placed him
self in the hands of the Wing State commit
tee. This body, conformity with the Repub-
lican State committee, subsequently formed
a new state ticket out of the gentlemen nam
ed by the two conventions, to wit Stephen
Royce for governor, Ryland Fletcher for lieu
tenant governor, and Henry NJ. Bates for
treasurer. This was the first Republican state
ticket in Vermont. 1t was elected on the
first Tuesday of the succeeding September by
a majority of IL 1873 votes-this being we
are confident, tie first Republican state pic-
tory IN tie country. At the preceding cleo
ton of state officers in Vermont there had
been no choice by the people, and long and
not very credtable contest ensued in the leg
islature, ending disastrously for both the
Wings and Freesoilers, the Democrats win
ming the victory. That result, undoubtedly,
tended strongly to bring the Wings, Free
sellers and anti-slavery Democrats to work
together in the Republican party in 1854, and
from that day to this.

vermont CongreEationaIism.

The Vermont Congregational convention
which met at Burlington last week was rem
dered notable by the adoption of a resolution
aimed at heresy in the pulpit A resolution
of similar tenor was introduced in last year
convention, but, we believe, did not come to
vote. The resolution as adopted is as fol-
lows:
ResolrCd That the general convention of
ministers and churches of Vermont, while
recognizing the entire absence of authority
in the convention over the churches. under
stands that to be pastor of a Congregational
church indicates and requires the acceptance
of the Word of God-which is our only rule
of faith-as teaching the doctrines commonly
called evangelical, held in our churches from
the early times, and sufficiently set forth by
former general councils, notably by the coun-
ellis of Boston and Oberlin and that the re-
pudiation of any substantial part of these
doctrines (held in common by all evangelical
churches) is considered by us as inconsistent
with continued claim to denominatioual fel-
lowship with our ministers and churches.
The committee reporting the resolution was
headed by Rev. J. G.. johnson of Rutland.
Rev. L. o. Brastow of Burlington offered rs
an amendment to the resolution, the follow
ing
Pr0cided, That nothing herein affirmed be
construed as denial of the right of appeal
from all human creeds to the Word of God /;
nor as an imputation against the standing Of
minister who, neither in his own mind, nor
by decision of competent ecclesiastical tri-
bunal, having examined his particular beliefs,
has been judged to have forfeited our fellow
ship.
The amendment, after lengthy discussion,
was rejected-the first clause by vote Of 20
to y, the second by vote of Is to GO. The
resolution was then passed by a vote of 81 to
II. A protest against the resolution was af-
forwards introduced with seven names at
tached, and voted to be placed upon the rec
ords. The resolution has attracted wide at
tention in the denomination since its intro
duction last year, prominent among its advo-
Gates being Rev. Geo. L. Walker, d. D., of
Hartford, Conn, formerly of this town The
movement, which appears to have had its in
citing cause in the celebrated Merriam case at
Indian Orchard, Mass, is justly criticised as
opposed to the liberal tendencies of the age
and the historic policy of the denomination.

Saturday, June 18th, was the 18th mar.
rage anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry II
Miller, and their friends thought proper to
notice the event by contributing money to
purchase presents and by making blocks
for quilt With the money, $l0.2j, they
purchased tea set, dress pattern, aud
twelve silver plated knives. We noticed ad.
dtional presents of two dress patterns, two
lamps, some collars and handkerchiefs, two
portraits of family relatives, and pretty
lambrcquin presented by II lady from New
York The number of pieces for the quilt
was seventy-fve. On the afternoon Of that
day a company Of about seventy persons
large and small, met at the house, Of Mr.. Nil.
Ter to celebrate the event we have mentioned.
and enjoy a brief season of festivity and 30.
cial entertainment. The tables were set on
the plat in front of the house where the earth
was carpeted with the green growing grass
and the breezes came whispering in our ear
as we sat down to enjoy the rich food 80
bountifully furnished for the occasion. As
the merry laugh went round the company at
the table, we were reminded of the rare day
in June" as the poet sings, when heaven
sweeps softly over the earth in zephyr winds
and dissipates grief, and brings joy to the
heart with a ripply cheer. When looking up.
on the countenances expressive of gayety and
merriment, we were led TO ash,
who Knows whittier sorrows have fed
In these cheerful faces wake;
And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
The heart fOrgets its sorrow and ache.

The expected document which Proctor
Knott, chairman of the House Judiciary COM
mittee, was delegated to prepare in reply to
the veto messages of the President, made its
appearance last Thursday. The paper is
lengthy and verbose-too long, indeed, to be
published by any paper, except as a serial
Of course, Mr.. Knott takes the extreme State
rights ground. As the chosen spokesman of
the Democratic party in Congress he denies
the power of the Federal Government to take
charge of the election of Representatives to
Congress and Presidential electors. Mr.
Knott claims that the right TO vote at cleo
tions comes from the State and not from the
Federal Government, and consequently any
law OF Congress which undertakes to give the
Federal Government authority to keep peace
at elections of Representatives to Congress or
in any way to regulate the same, is unconsti-
tutional. This it scarcely needs to be OBJ
served is the most ultra ground yet taken by
the State rights Democracy. 1t is doctrine
which takes from the Federal Government
the right to protect itself 1t is a theory
which proceeds upon the assumption that
Congress is not a national legislature, but a
body of delegates elected by the several
States in any manner that they may see fit
1t is the very theory upon which the seees
sion movement was based and defended. II
is the thoroughly repulsive doctrine that the
States are supreme and that the Federal Gov.
eminent is myth, a negative and useless
thing. The Republican party Gas the Boston

made from the best timbers, which the Ad-
mirnlty intend to present to the President Of
the United States as n souvenir of the occa-
sion when the Resolute was found by Amer-
can whalers abandoned in the ice, and the
government of the United States had her re-
paired and reftted and presented her to the
British Admiralty. The Resolute was one of
FIVE ships-the Investigator, Assistance, Res
dilute, Pioneer and Intrepid-sent out under
Sir Edward Belcher in 1850 in search of Sir
John Franklin. In the fall of 1853 the three
first of these vessels were abandoned by Sir
Edward Belcher in Wellington Channel.
When found on the 10th of September, 1855,
by Captain Buddington, the famous whaling
master of Groton, Conn, the Resolute had
drifted through Barrow's Strait, Baffins Bay,
and into Daviss Strait, distance of 1000
miles. Capt Buddington boarded the vessel
after a dangerous march of seven miles across
broken ice, and finally decided to himself at
tempt to sail the Resolute to an American
port with a salvage crew of II men from his
own whaling ship The homeward voyage
was terrible one-a succession of gales hay
ing been encountered after leaving the Lab
rador coast-but the vessel was finally brought
safely into the harbor of New London. A
resolution was passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives on August 2s, 1856, authorizing
the purchase of the Resolute and directing
that she be presented to Great Britain. She
was brought to the Brooklyn navy-yard and
thoroughly reftted. She sailed out of New
York amid salutes from all the forts at the
Narrows, and arrived at Cowes on December
-, 1856, under command of Captain Harta-
lein, of the United States Navy. She was
under the American flag, but on letting 60
her anchor the British colors were run up and
saluted. The ship was visited by Queen Vic
toria and Prince Albert on the 10th. Tn of
fetal transfer was soon completed, and the
Resolute became again British property on
December 80, 1886.

Judge jackson of the Kentucky circuit
court has just decided that negroes are not
entitled to serve on juries in that State. A
number of Louisville negroes petitioned to
have criminals of their race tried by iuries
equally composed of whites and blacks
Judge jackson replied that he could do moth
ing but follow the law, and Kentucky statutes
provided that only whites should serve on
juries. He proceeded to show that Kentucky
law was not in conflict with the federal con-
stitution in this particular. The power to
prescribe who should serve as jurors in the
State courts was an exclusive right of the
States, never having been delegated to the
general government Kentucky's standard,
moreover, did not conflict with the l4th
amendment Chat no State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the privi-
leges or immunities of citizens of the United
States), because jury service is not privilege
or right, but a duty or burden imposed on a
certain class in the community. This decis-
ion, which practically denies the right of q
Kentucky black man to be tried by jury of
his peers, is of interest as covering nearly the
same ground that the United States supreme
court is to pass upon in connection with the
Virginia cases brought up by Judge Hughes,
though whether the supreme court will agree
with Judge Jacksons position may well be
questioned.

The political campaign in Kentucky is con-
Quoted in fashion which might be copied
with advantage by states farther to the north
ward. The old animosities of the war crop
out every now and then, but in mild form,
and bear not the least resemblance to the shot
gun and ku-klux terrors, which, at one time,
were to be apprehended. At the present
time, the two gubernatorial candidates are
making stumping tour of the state, speak
ing on the same evening from the same plat
form, and though the Republican candidate,
Mr. Evans, has usually to address political
ly unfriendly audience, his friends admit that
he is received on all occasions with courtesy
and listened to with marked attention. In
certain respects he has had the advantage of
his opponent, for DIR. Blackburn has been un-
well, and has failed to do justice TO himself
or his cause when he has spoken, and at
times has been obliged to provide an unequal
substitute Besides, the party in power has
many sins of acknowledgement which can be
made to look black in debate, and these are
treated by the opposing critic in no tender
manner. The state will, of course, go Dem
ocratic, but it seems probable that Mr.. Evans
will make a better run than any opposition
candidate has for long time past.-BOStOH

The opening and successful operation Of
the New York elevated railroads has made a
complete revolution in real estate prospects
in the upper part of the city. Since the first
of January permits have been granted for the
erection of over 400 buildings, most of them
dwellings, on the east side between Fifty
of real estate in that section has increased
from % to 80 per cent. within three months.
The houses going up, which in most cases
will rent at $3.50 to $3.50 year, are the best
of the kind that New York has seen. The
demand for them comes entirely from out of
town, mainly from those who find that the
elevated roads make it possible at last to live
cheaper in the city than elsewhere.
