The Middlebury people's press. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1841-1843, 1841-07-27

Resolved, That we concur cordially in the
following resolutions adopted at the recent
convention of the friends of State Reform hol-
den at Chelsea on the Odd day of June, l341.
Whereas, the great object of instituting
government is to promote the welfare of the
great body of the people who are governed;
and. whereas the taking from them any portion
of the products oftheir industry, by means of
taxes, or otherwise, beyond what is absolutely
necessary to defray the expenses of govern
ment, under a rigidly economical administra-
ton of the same, is so far departing from the
objects for which government was established:
therefore,
Resolved, that the people of Vermont ought
not to be taxed more than what is absolutely
necessary to meet the necessary expenditures
of the state government under rigidly eco
nomical administration of the same.
Resolved, That a state debt, permanently
fixed upon the people of Vermont, would be
one of the greatest evils that could be inflicted
upon them-that it would ultimately, (as in
England, reduce the hardy and patriotic far
mers, mechanics, &C., of the mountain state,
to the condition of mere hewers of wood and
drawers of water 10 purse-Proud aEistocracy

ENGLISH CORN LAWS.

Great Britain a! the present moment is sha-
ken TO lis centre by the struggle more fierce
than any that has occurred since the passage
of IKE reform bill. The Ministers have an
nounced their intention TO fix the duties on
grain at certain rates, which it is clear will ad-
init ofcXiensvc importations, or in other words
10 abalish the corn law system of the kingdom.
This has brought out the whole of the landed
and farming interest in violent opposition as
it is well understood the exorbi,ant prices
which have prevailed for years, and on which
the present system of English farming is main,
y based, could not be maintained without the
protection of such laws. On he other hand,
the manufacturing and commercial interests
are ranging themselves on the side of Minis
te :, and as The Queen is said TO favor them, il
is probable they will eventually succeed, al
though present appearances indicate pro-
longed struggle.
The questions at issue are very important
to this country. Ii is the monopoly Of the
home market that shuts out our wheat from
England and the abolition or modification OF
the corn laws would open an extensive market
to us at once. Ii is the first time in the history
of England that the arislocracy or the land
holders, have found themselves fairly brought
into opposition with the mass Of laborers,
manufacturers. and commercial men, and the
result can hardly be doubtful. The necessities
of tie government have led to this course, as it
is only two years since the present premier,
Lord Melbourne, declared repeal of the cora
laws impossible. The discussion has opened
the whole range of commercial restrictions
and. free trade policy, and promises, even
should it lead to the overthrow of the present
ministry, thing by no means improbable, to
lead to a better understanding and a more cor
rect application of these important principles.

How gracefully it flies;
Those pretty stripes-they seem to be
\ rainbow in the Skies"
1t is your country's flag, my son,
And proudly drinks the light,
Der oceans wave-in foreign climes,
A symbol of our might.
"Father-what fearful noise is that,
Like laundering in the clouds?
Why do the people wave their hats,
And rush along in crowds %
1t is the voice of cannonry,
The glad shouts of the free,
This is day of memory dear

And cheer as loudly as the rest

Resolved, That the late Presidential election
resulted in reinstating in power, the federal OIL

| is abundantly proved, both by the measures
proposed, and by the men, under whose guild
ance and direction, they are urged upon the
people.
Resolved, That the whole scope of the most
prominent measures of the present administra-
ton, is to concentrate power in the few, at
the expense of tie many-to build up privi-
legged class in the land-to tax the masses for
the benefit of monopolsts, spectators and
bankers-and to revive the exploded schemes
of Hamilton and his coadjutors.
Resolved, That the present dominant party
have shameIessly violated all the important
principles upon which they sought and obtain
ed power.
Before the late election, they avowed the
most utter detestatioE of the practice Of remo-
wing men from public offices, for opinions
sake Now they are practising the most ruth
less prescription ever known in this or any
other government upon that and no other
ground.
Before election, they denounced the late
administration, without measure, for extrava-
gance in the public expenditure Nor. the or
