citizen of Vermont will feel conscious pride
IN having his name enrolled On The constitution
of this society. While we offer up to the God
Of Heaven the incense of grateful hearts foi
the civil and religious liberty which be has
vouchsaied to bestow upon our happy republic

a stain upon our national character, that

hope that every State in the Union will lend
