The Governor feelings on this subject all right bot his
remedy is all wrong. Such ne proposes would not
diminish the importation Of Northern gonds and nanu'ac
lures into State farhing but would only make our
own citizens paw per cent for their gooda than
they now paws the merchant who would be assessed with

We refer the Wing factioss and Infamous conduct

vided by law tina, II shall be penal offence for any

Legislature OF Vermont have trodden tho Constitution
