the people were not ut all satisfied with robbing
the poor children and thought the act of last year
nnduy favored The rich &; he said he would keep
the fire alive until March meeting, and let the peo-
pie put 1t out iftbey please Mr.. Stoddard said
the bill did not present the issue fairly to the peo
ple the question would be, will the people tax
themselves To replace the fund ?--and unless the

could not 20 for the bill. Mr.. Cheever said the

spoke for the bill aud the poor children Mr. Mi
ner said if any thing could be gwen to the poor
children by this bill he would support it-but such
is not the fact: he could well recollect that few

abolished by the aid Of these gentlemen years ago
In his Judgment, no state had done more Tor com
mon education by way of taxation than Vermont -
by Ter laws every district in the State has full
power TO fix the amount and enforce the collection.
Nh. Thomas replied that Gov. Slade materially
differed from the Hon. John Smith, making the
the time fur less in which the fund would be avail
ale, and went into calculations To show that Gov
Sade had fixed the time too long ant that 1856
would see the fund available: he was mortified to
say that Vermont had taken this fund to build Il
spledId state house. Bill rejected, l0l to u.
