Mr.. Stanley from the select committee, TO
whom was referred the correspondence with
Hiram Powers, relative TO the execution Of
statutes of Ea.han Allen, and Thomas Chit
tenden, submitted the following report.
| REPORT.
The committee are unanimous in applaud
ing the generous and elevated patriotism that
suggested 10 the General Assembly this ap-
propriate method Of commemorating the
characters and services of the two renowned
Vermonters whose statutes it is proposed 10
procure. They can conceive of DO more
worthy and admirable means Of perpetuating
tho gratitude Of the State towards men
whose energy and whose counsels have
given TO both her military and civil an
nails, the decisive marks of republican vigor
and simplicity which they possess.
The committee therefore. have no hesita-
ton in ayowing their warm appreciation Of
the contemplated measure. They see no
difficulty in the way Of its accomplishment,
within the six or seven years which Mr., Pow
ers has assigned as the period during which
it will occupy such portion of his time as he
can bestow upon it. The appropriation that
will be required in the progress Of the work,
will not exceed probably, the sum Of three
thousand dollars, and the committee greatly
mistake the char acter and temper Of the con-
stituenis Of this General assembly, if an ap-
preparation of The public money for such an
object will not be received with universal
favor. The committee are not prepared to
believe that Vermont Legislature will be
restrained from proceeding in the grateful
and praiseworthy project which it has COM
menced by any impediment arising from
Ibis estimate of its pecuniary cost.
| The Committee feel called on to say how
ever, that cordially as they are prepared to
recommend the employment Of Mr.. Pow
ers in the work designated, they regard the
attainment Of authentic Licensees TO be rep
resented by the statues,as an object Of scarce
" less interest and consequence. A purely
ideal representation of either Of the disiin-
guished men referred to. or one drawn from
the record OF their lives and services, would
not be likely, the committee concedc, so TO
enlist the interest OF the people as to warrant
any considerable appropriation for its pro-
curement. They are, therefore, not disposed
TO recommend definite action Of the General
Assembly until further steps shall have been
taken to ascertain the existence and anthem
ITCHY ofsuch lkenezes. II appears by The
interesting report of Messrs. Marsh and Paine
that likeness that is said 10 present accu-
rately the features oil Allen, may probably be
obtained 10 Montreal. The committee rec
omInend that an appropriation be made suffi-
cent TO defray the expense Of an agent Of the
State to determine the fact, and. in case such
likeness should be found, the employment Of
Mr.. B. F. Mason, competent artist, and
native Of Vermont. 10 execute a copy. ifper-
mission 10 do so can be obtained For this
purpose they recommend the adoption Of the
accompanying resolutions.
