} So it passed in the affirmative
1t was really laughable to see into what pickle
thel ords of the House were thrown by this demo-
cratic resolution of the old Farmer of Lamoille.
1t was 90 manifeslly Republican on its introduction
that none but the bluest of the bue dured vote u
gans it, and even they had not timelo attempt its
defeat.
After it's passage, however they began TO rally,
The Speaker was the first to recall the wandering
senses Of the party. lie did Mt knOw--it might
be-he presumed the gentleman from Cambridge
meant no dsrespect to the chair-but- but-he
would suggest to the House that-that-ihs was
rather an uncommon course of proceeding and
would seriously embarrass the chair, and he ap-
pealed to the House to-to-to-do something to
relieve him.
Mr. Smile explained-and gloriously he spoke
too, as those can testify who heard him. Mr. S.
was surprised that any one could for moment
suppose his resolution entertained any disrepect to
| the chair-he really thought it would be beneficial
! to have intelligent farmers and mechanics on the
cOmmillees,-he thought that the lawyers who
were usually placed on the committees might re-
ceive substantial advice and information from far
mers and mechanics, and thinking so he had in
troduced his resolution.
Hha ,,1n Ex A IA
mocrolic resolution had passed-i must be recon-
sidered-it must be rcscinded- wonld never do
to have the huge paws on the statute books. The
chair was in great trbula,ion-he could Mt moye
he was hampcred. Mr. Sanborn out of pity to
the chair, moved that the vote be reconsdered, if
that would relieve his honor. But a recousdera-
ton would not do--that was not strong enough-it
must be DISMISSED. so Mr. Warner of New
Haven Qed. )moved that il be dismissed, &c.
On motion of Snnborn, the vote of this morning
passing the resolution introduced by Mr. Smile,
relative to the appointment OF standing committees,
was recOnsidrrpd
Mr. Warner of New Haven moved to dismiss said
resolution,
And the question WIS stated, shall the said reso-
luton be dismissed ON which question the yeas

The vote on the dismissal shows the teeth of
federalism. Even In old Federal Massachusetts
similar resolution was, few years since, intro
duced in the Legislature and passed almos, unani-
mously, but in Vermont it must be put down.
BY the resolution Of Mr. SMILE The farmers and
mechanics Of the State can see that the Old farmer
is ever vigant and active in their cause; bat
Ting with those who would ihrus, them from all
offices of trust and emolumen, and make them tbs
serfs Of an arisorracy.
