The State House.

All along during the present session, most
gricvous and alarming complaints have been
brought to our ears from members Of the Leg
slature Especially from the leaders Of that
most essential branch of all properly constitu-
ted legislative assemblies-the Third House,
relative to the insuiierable privatons and i'll
convenienccs to which they are subjected at
Montpelier. The only remedy we can propose
is, to remove the State House to Burlington,
where every facility for accommodating the
public is at easy command. Denying all sell
fish aims, we pledge ourselves to take it down,
remove and re-e rect it upon the finest site IN
our beautiful village, where it will be of easy
and pleasant access to the "wlSdom and virtue
of the State and all this pro bono publico.
