thereof be removed unless an occasion of
stern public necessity should demand il. The
people of Montpelier had right to rely with
the fullest assurance and confidence upon this
implied pledge, this plightcd faith Of the
State. aud they haze relied upon it and have
established, arranged and managed their bus
mess and made their investments of capital
and labor accordingly And this last act of
the Legislature providing for the ro-construc-
ton Of the Capitol shows that the State re-
spccted and recognized that pledge and is
still true to the principles and plightcd faith
of her founders The relocation of the
state House at Montpelier has not probably
/ disappointed many in this vicinity and we
are Of the opinion that the strife has been too
feeble, and the fight too gentle, to have left
either wounds or scars.
From the Swanton journal.

improvements made ON the old plan. The
State made am appropriation of $4,000 for
the object, and Montpelier is TO do the rest.
They have even given bonds TO refund the APP
preparation, which it is thought. however. will
not be demanded of them. The only excuse
which we can offer in justification of the de-
mand is that other towns made the same of
fer. and the people might find fault if Mont
pclicr was let off with less. But TO make
them pay 10 at last would be niggordly ON the
part of the State. and the only fear that it
will over be demanded comes from the hatred
of the rival towns.
On the whole we rejoice at the result
