money will be saved to the population Of the State.
During the tendency of the report, the Conven.
ton was addressed with great effect by Mr. Erastus
Hopkins, President OF the Northampton Railroad
Company, in an earnest and eloquent speech, IN
which the rich resources of the valley Of the Con-
nectcut, and the great importance Of Railroad to
aid in the development Of those resources, and TO
carry its surplus products 10 market, were pointed
out. He said valley road rival TO no other
road II would receive from and contribute to all
other roads that might into it,or cross its track
Whatever conflicting interests the inhabitants
might have in the failure Of lateral rail
roads, they were all united man in favor Of
valley road. Ii was a matter Of Indifference who
have had the honor of constructing it, or whether
il was built by one company or a Dozen BE buil'
il must So far as the Central Railroad propose 10
occupy the valley he reioiced with their other
projects this convention had nothing to do.
When the iron resolution offered by MIR Bowles
was under discussion, the President of the Conven
ton, Mr. Ripley, made a rery interesting speech
upon the subject of the iron wealth of Vermont,
and the ease with which il might be developed
Mr. Ripley an iron dealer and iron manufacturer,
and is perfectly at home upon the subject He re-
marked that the iron alonC for the Central Rail
road from Charlestown TO Burlington, would cost
81 500 ,0O0-thal every dollar of this money would
be expended without the State, while il might just
as well be expended in the State. The iron mines
Of Vermont are inexhaustible, and may be easily
wrought. The machinery requisite to manufacture
| 100 tons of Railroad iron per week need not now
cost over $4,000. There is no more mystery OF
skill in the manufacture of rail road iron than there
is in that of common bar iron. The Green Mount
aims furnish a world Of fuel. why then should she
not manufacture her own iron , There is no good
reason why she should not.
The Convention, although not very large, WA
an exceedingly harmonious one.

Looking out of the window Of domieil one
day last week, we saw quite jam at the Temple
of Justice, the windows thereof being literally
crammed with heads, the bodies thereto appended
hanging upon the outside like rats caught in wire
trap. We stepped over 10 the Majors, and 10 there
sat his Honor, with six men, grave the Bashaw
with seven tails, brace Of lawyers chueAhng
over the anticipated fee, and two men, who's We
afterwards learned plaintiff and defendant sat
opposite, looking I I at each other, We soon
gathered from the reading Of plaintiff writ which
was not quite twelve feet long," that gentleman,
not having the fear of the law before his eyes, had
been so impuden, to the language OF the atior-
ney for plaintiff, TO "kick my client with his
great heavy boot" where Hudibrsss facetisasly
places the seat Of honor. This was great indiqni-
ty, whereby the majesty Of the laws had been vio-
lated well to the manifest injury of the gen.
tleman kicked; for, as said one of the witnesses
she Jumped sometimes with one leg, and sometIsses
with the other. Here plaintiff rested his case and
defendant introduced witness to prove as we sup
pose, that the damages sustained in the premises
should be "on the other eg, as witness seemed to
think that defendants boot, of the two, was the
most injured The attorneys made a couple Of
laundering speeches, TO their fees, no doubt,
when his Honor summed up the case and the jury
after retiring few moments, brought in verdict
of too dollars and fly cents damages for plaintiff
So the price of one gentlemans kicking another
gentleman "seat Of honor, is established at 50 so
N. b. This does not include lawyers fees.
