Union and the glorious which is promised the
administration feel lively interest in the August
elections, lest by mishap may lose where we ex

in its deliberations and acts, according TO the induces
of events which already before and that other
questions OF momcntous and delicate character will arise
between and the close of its session it needs no seer
to say The administration is charged with wcighty
trusts; the nation expects much Of it and we have
every that it win prove fully equal to its re-

been beforehand accurately predicted. Tho
latter town is doubtless somewhat disappont-
ed, but it can console itself with the reflection
that. without the State House il is the fore
most town in Vermont. and might make it,
self still more the pride and glory of tho
State if its citizens would do for their UNG-
vERsfTY only the half of what they were

College, would do more for the reputation OF
Burlington, and confer upon it more lasting
renown, than thrice that sum expended upon
a state House. Let Burlington cherish her
institution of learning, and expand it into the
fair proportions to which it can easily attain.
and she can exert more influence upon the
law making of the State. as well as upon its
literary, scientific and religious interests. than
would be possible in the exercise of any 9th
or means.
With Montpelier the case was different
Deprive her Of her State House and she be-
comes an ordinary village. Her main dcpcn-
dance is the annual visit of the Legislature,
and the local country trade. From both
these sources she manages TO show consider
able prosperity. and now the state House is
again located there. she will do hcncciorth as
in the past. We wish her all prosperity. and
doubt not that her citizens viii cndoavor TO
make their village pleasant home for the
lawmakers.

MONTPELIER NicroRIoUs.-The news has
doubtless ere this reached the romotest Sec
ton of the State, that the State Capitol re-
mains located at Montpelier. The I.egisla-
ture was nine days in session, and during that
time discussed the question in all its bearings
with great fairness and ability The princi-
pal rival towns were seyerally represented by
gentlemen of eminent fitness to conduct the
debate in behalf of their respective localities.
and in reading the daily proceedings we have
been much gratifed at the candor and cour-
tesy manifested by all parties.
With the final decision of the question for
which the extra session was called, we pre-
sumo the majority of the people of the State
are satisfied 1t is also probably in accord
ance with their expectations, although the
chances of success by the chief contestants,

viii p~ersevere and have a suit
able house erected ere long.
A school house too, is very much
needed. There are children enough
here to Eli two rooms and employ two
teachers. Our youthful population is
running wild. Little girls are seen
romping through the streets, and climb
ing the bluffs; while the boys are @down
town" contracting indoIent habits,
learning to smoke, swear and drink;
and in short uniting themselves for
ever becoming good and influential
men.
But we cannot blame boys for swear
ing and drinking, when men furnish
them with every day examples of it on
streets.
A lady cannot walk out in broad
daylight, without being shocked and
insuited with the language and oaths
of drunken men. MOI can we sit in
our own door yards Of an evening with
out having our ears constantly saluted
with oaths. Can our place thrive
while such a state of things exists?-
What viii strangers think who come
here with q view of settling?
IF men viii make brutes of them
selves by drinking, can there not be
some place provided where they may
be locked up, and not be permitted to
polute our streets with their foul pres
enco.
Or, what would be better still, can
there not be a law instituted to pre-
vent the selling eff so much liquor il
our place. In nay opinion, he who
tempts men to the alluring cup, is a:
bad as the n who partakes of it.
Surely there are enough responsible
men here who must see the expedien-
cy Of taking hold of this matter a.
once.
Ye fathers, do you wish your sons
to grow up under such influences
viii they ever make men in the tru'
sense of that word?
Here is a great work to be done,
hope the citizens will be sup and do
ing that this reproach upon our plac,
may be speedily removed; and Will
they are engaged in this work Of refor
nation, they may be assured of tn
sympathy and prayers Of their Moth
ers, Wives and Sisters. S.
