MIR. Rice believed that an admission OF
those gentlemen would not prevent future aG-

confirmed the statement Of Mr.. Foot, that SO
far AS Wardsboro' is concerned, the at,
Tempt to prevent an election was an unlawful
one.
Mr.. Walker deprecated haste--a wrong
nrccedent may be established. Town clerks
have no authority to give credentials, ana
the House should be slow in countenancng
such papers as evidence.
Mr.. Kittredgo OF Fairhayen expressed SIM
liar views.
Mr.. Goodhuc said there was testimony
from the legal presiding officer Of Wardsboro'
showing that tile election OF MIR. Fllmpton

Mr.. Rice of Somerset remarked that unanl-

ton now. so there would nothing be lost by
delay This question should be decided right
according to law,--and there must be time
taken for this.
Mr.. Kittrodgo said the certificates were not
simply impertect--they are no certificates at
all. Now to receive members upon such pa
pers, would lie 20 hold out Inducements for

Mr. Sabin queried whether this time would

the history of the State, some progress has
been made towards accomplishing the pur-
poses contemplated by the Legislature, but
the business is not yet fully completed.
During the year, communications on sum
dry topics have been received from several
Of the States, which will at an early day 70
laid before you; as also will commrnica-
ton from one OF the Directors Of Tie New
York Institute for the Blind, suggesting the
propricty Of a provision being made y this
State, by which part of its unfortunate
blind, who are educated at the expense Of the
State, may be placed in that institution. l
deem it proper also to state that the rcsolu-
tons passed at the Last session Of the Lcgis-
lature, relating to slavery and the Mexican
War, transmitted by me to the Executive of
Virginia. were conveyed to me in accordance
with an order ofthe Legislature ofthat State,
directing the Executive to return them
forthwith This is not announced to you be-
cause any action in regard 10 tits supposed to
be necessary, but as Vermont can have no
fears that her honor will be dimmcd by TIE
contrast i'll the respective positions Of the
two States, it is indeed due to her HAT rec
ord Of the transaction should lie in her own
safe keeping.
Ibelieye that the position of Vermont is
distinctly understood in regard to all those
great questions Of national policy, which are
from time to time agitating our national coun-
ellis, and in which Vermont in common with
the other States Of the Union has so deep an
interest. 1t affords occasion for the most
profound regret that the unhappy war with
a neighboring Republic has not yet been ter
minated, but, on the contrary is making Still
greater and greater demands upon the blood
and treasure Of the nation Its believed that
Vermont has seen nothing in the progress Of
the contest, to change her sentiment, either
in regard TO the insuiIiciency Of the grounds
on which the war was commenced, or tie
unworthinoss of the purposes fer which it has
been waged. She cannot recognize the gem
eral government as committed to any career
of conquest, nor will she regard any unac-
complished schemes Of territorial agorandze-
ment as presenting an obstacle to the speedy
adjustment Of existing difficulties Peace sic
earnestly and unequiyocally desires, and asks
for no territory, whether slave or free, SIS a
condition of its establishment and security.
1t remains for me to pledge you my cor
dial cooperation in all your iIorls to promote
the public welfare. And impressed with a
grateful sense Of our obligation to those who
have generously committed their interests
to our care--guded by firm convictions Of
truth and right, and aided by that Divine
Favor which alone can insure success to the
best devised plans, VIC may hope that our la
bors for the session VIII advance the substan-
tial prosperity and happiness Of the people
Of the State. HORACE EATON.
