Fer the Standard.
Mr.. EDITOR While at South Troy,
on the 9th inst, I saw a copy of your pa
per, of that date, containing commune
cation, favoring the location of the State
House at Burlington, signed 7 )" and
also another communication signed O."
The object Of the latter seemed to be to
sasut " two gentlemen from Burlington"
and also the representatives Of Orleans
county, BY indicating that the latter could
be influenced to favor the location of the
capitol at Burlington, provided they were
paid liberal boot in swapping horses. .
I have no design to comment on Q's ar
ticle further than to say that if the people
of Orleans county can be influenced for
or against measure of public interest,
by communications Of that character,
they must have deprecated rapidly in in
telligence and sound common sense, IN
der the influence of such teachings as
80" and his kindred spirits, may have
given them. But this I cannot believe,
as, from my recent eojourn among them,
have had abundant evidence of their
progress in mental and moral culture,
notwithstanding the bad influences that
occasionally may have cast a dark shadow
in their pathway.
Since my return home, the Standard
of the 18th inst, has been handed to me
and nay attention called to an article
therein, signed "Vox PopuIi." Now
as am not Latin scholar, I cannot
tell whether PopulT' should be trans.
lated Prentiss, Montpelier, or some other
name, nor am / aware it is of any con
sequence.
In this latter article Mr.. W.
resident of Burlington" is directly charg
ed with being the writer of the commu
nication, favoring the location of tn,
State House at Burlington, signed Y :
that he was seen inditing it; that h
had practiced trick, uttered a faIsehood
&c, in representing himselfto be eiti
zen Of Orleans county.
As I was at Iasburgh on the 2nc
inst, and while there commenced wri
ting letter IN the public sitting room
at the hotel, to a friend residing som,
miles distant. assume that I am tn

into a discreditsbIe inuendo. A little
less zeal, and little more candor, on the
part of your correspondent, would be a
good deal more seryieeable to his cause,
and command more self respect. i" Va
nity of vanities, saith the Preacher, va
nifty of vanities. all is vanity" But your
correspondent don't think so. He seems
to think that /" building large enough
to accommodate the legislature, and with
very decent benches, can be made for
from $4,000 to $4,000" But he
would expend much more to appear
respectable" for "pride," to excite sad
miration," to avoid looking mean, to
make a display. And he would go to
Burlington with the State House for this
purpose, though the state may as we'll
or better, be accommodated at Montpelier.
He would go to Burlington because " the
State House in its present location has
given to travellers the idea of a goose
nest under fence" Well, this is as
very elegant idea, tasteful comparison,
and must have originated with tasteful
F." travellers" I think I might with as
much truth say your correspondent has
given your readers an idea of a goose in
the Standard. Others for similar reasons
with your correspondent would move the
capitol to Burlington because men wear
bigger whisker8, and larger watch chains
there, than are worn in Montpelier-be-
cause there is more outside show, more
of gilded trappings, and what Solomon,
in his old age, called vanity of vani-
ties" in the former than the latter
place. The whited sepulchres" are the
things for such tastes. But for sturdy,
republican, agricultural people, it seems
to me such reasons are not rery forcible
especially when they eonfice%ith implied
contracts or obligations Of honor. The
yeomanry of Vermont have no particu-
| lar fancy for g fast men but they have
a sort of homely honesty, not very much
in vogue nowadays, that makes then
reluctant to see bankrupts dwelling IL
princely palaces, sporting costly hveries
"clad in purple and fine linen, and deck
ed with trinkets and gew-gaws, upon thu
money of other, and hard and homes
hands. They have likewise a sincere
contempt for the hireling wretch whc
puts himself into the market and beg
for employment, Indifferent to the sid
he advocates, for q reward.
Since writing the foregoing I hav,
seen the Burlington Sentinel which con
tains the article published in your pape
signed " Y, . also articles from the St
Adams Messenger, and Brattleboro
Phoenix, and the three articles witt
their = surroundings, contain such re
narkable similarity of language an,
ideas as I think will satisfy any observ
ing and impartial mind, that all emana
ted from the same source. This is
fresh illustration Of the tricks" resorte
to. It looks very ike an attempt b
Burlington to palm its opinion of, b
publication in remote papers, as the opin
ion of the community where such pc
pers are published. @.

hursrea aollars. But wha! IS that on a
great s.nse question: Even if It be all
H. wE;.ss claims, it follows that a sub
sev;ss;sn 81 favor of Burlington of $685.
0oo would make 1t all even. Shall we
fhea bs controlled by that paltry consid-
ssa|ion ID work of this magnitude
Can our Representatives be governed by
q soEdid consideration III the work be-
fore thsm? viii not yet believe It.
"A communicalion in the same paper in
favor Of Burlington has some forcible
ideas On this subject. I might argue to
locate the house at Montpelier only for
convenience, at an expense Of twenty or
thirty thousand dollars. There are, how
ever, other arguments that ought to be
considered IN determining this question,
and one is the immortality Of Montpelier.
Tnits self-confidence ii is lawless, and why
should the State favor such a place at
all? The Vermont prohibitory law, one
Of the noblest acts of our Legislature,
which has cost years Of toll and patient
perseverance, Of the friends of temper
ance, IS entirely disregarded at Montpe-
Ter. Rum IS sold almost every where,
even by the leading hotels, fatty in oppo-
sition to the law, and her leading men
set the example. With talented but
contemporaries and pro-slayery minis
ter, and church partaking Of the same
spirit, the liquor law Is Powerless for
auoht bns evil If Montpelier chooses
10 stand there, let her stand ." alone il
her glory. At the same time it is but
justice to say that Burlington with its
wealth and strong intellectual men has ta-
ken the lead IN the great reform Of exc
cutting faithfully and fairly the law, and
deserves commentator from every high
minded moral man.
Again, aIontpelier is already at its &c
NTH. Inc otate cannot eXpaRd II more
If therefore it be an object to have {
large town fer the capital, and mos
States think Il IS, locate your State House
where It can b. adding its influence Il
ether objects create such town. Wher
you look at Burlington, with its fine loca
tion, its college, its harhor on the lake, ii
extensive water power at Winooski Falls
its railroads and steamers, how can Vol
fail to conclude that she needs but this tt
give the start which shall end in e city
which shall be the pride Of Vermont
Shall sixteen hundred or even thirty
three thousand dollars prevent the CRANE

people, from the misrepresentation of
your correspondent. ] say, in reply to
his charges, most distinctly, and without
any reservation whatever, that I did not
indite' nor write that communication,
signed . !" nor any part Of it, and that
l never saw il, either in manuscript or
in print. until l read it at South Trey,
on the 9th inst, as above stated.
Whether Yox P. in thus charging
me with trick and falsehood, did so from
a conviction that l wrote the commune
cation alluded to, or because he thought
the force of "Y's" reasoning would be
broken by imputing its authorship to
an interested person, I canEot say, as
l have no means of knowing. If the
former, I would advise him to be more
carefal in future in ascertaining his facts
If the latter, then, I ask, which ha.

The State House.

Mn. EDIToR,-I had hoped TO see the
question Of the State House location
calmly and dispassionately discussed, but
when the question becomes mixed with
iuvectives and personalities, then I have
no desire to take part in the discussion,
and my present purpose is merely to do
simple act Of Justice 10 men charged
with & trickery and falsehood"
One Of your correspondents Of last
week over the signature Of 6 yox Popu-
IL in referring TO what be terms q spec;-
men Of the tricks Of Burlington people,
says Murder will out, and so very Of
ten viii deceit and falsehood" He
says the specimen refer to is a COM
munication ID your last paper signed Y
bearing date at Irasburgh, purpOrting to
have been written by a citizen of Orleans
county. &c. Now, says " Vox Populi,"
at is true the paper was written in Iras-
burghs its author was seen indit;ng II, but
it IS not true that it was indited by a cit
izen Of this county nor that It's author
has no interest ia the question other than
such as be states. 1t was written by Mr.
W. who is q resident Of Burlington" &c,
and that z If il were worth while to prac-
tics the trick and utter the falsehood It
is also worth while that both be exposed
Now to al this I reply, that the article
signed =. which is referred to, was
written By myself; that no person resi-
ding in Burlington ever dictated, wrote,
indited, or suggested a single sentence or
line Of the article that the article was
strictly what it purported to be, written
by myself, in my own house, in my own
Language ard IN nay own way, with no
attempt at concealment or Disguise; that
no person residing In Burlington. or that
ever resided there ever saw the article
up 70 the time that it was placed IN the
haads Of the printer; and whether the
artiels be silly or sensible, true or false
with the sxception Of some unimportant
typographical errors, I am alone responsi.
