cation between the different parts of our common country, and especially in opening to a larger commerce the line of water communication created by nature between the Northwest and the Atlantic through the great lakes and the valley of Lake Champlain. Democratic—June 25,1874. 1. That we renew our devotion to the Democratic party and its principles, and we invite all citizens to unite with us in an effort to restore the principles of the party to the government of the country. 2. That the present prohibitory liquor law is undemocratic, and has proved injurious to the cause of temperance and good order, and that we favor its unconditional repeal and the adoption of a stringent license law. 3. That we hail with joy the prospect of an early completion of the Caughnawaga Canal, whereby Lake Champlain will be the reservoir for the surplus productions of the great West, and an outlet for the trade and commerce between the interior and the seaboard, and as beneficial alike to the farmer, manufacturer, producer, and consumer, by an increase of transportation facilities, consequently more direct and friendly commercial relations and cheaper transit of property.
