senator Co,,nmcr on the War.

Judge Collamer always makes good
speeches. We always like them. He made
good one at the Fair at White River june
ton last week. After being introduced, he
made some very appropriate and spirited
remarks, in which he alluded TO the Con-
necticut River Valley--the deep and thrill
ling associations connected there with; that,
taken in its extent of some two hundred
miles, there is not the same extent of coun-
try on the face Of the earth where the peo-
pie are so intelligent. SO well clothed, so
well fed and yet, this has all been done by
themselves-yes, dug out Of the earth. He
drew contrast between the people of the
land of the Bible and pumpkin, the psalm
and hymn book, and the people of the South.
who were divided into the condition of lord
and vassal, master and slave, referring
briefly to the causes which made them to
differ. That there was little difficulty in
tracing the characteristics of people by
their pursuits; even the two features of
farming are Indicative of this. In one sec
ton, large bodies of land from 1000 to
2000 acres, are held by the few and worked
by the slave, and the condition is that of
lord and vassal; at the North, the land is
divided into small sections, and holden by
the many, not titled by others, but cultivated
by the owner. No vassal or lord, master
or slave. We call no one Master, except
the Lord Of All;" and that here we have
been realizing our fathers ideal Of popu.
lar government. viz: that men are capable
Of selfgovernment, and that il is this great
idea of the confederation of States, which
We realize, that they labored to defend, ant
that our prosperity was wholly derived from
this, and should not forget the Rock from
which we were hewn.
He spoke in scahing terms Of those who
were epdeavoring to break the best govern
ment on the face of the earth, and to estab
lish one founded on slavery. They hat
warred upon our commerce, robbed our ar
senals Of arms and ammunition, and theil
cannon is heard by our President every
day. He referred in eloquent terms tc
Union men who had been driven from theil
homes in the South, and likened them to the
children of Israel hanging their harps upor
the willows, and asked if they should be
given over You must, said he. whip tn,
South, or they will whip you. You may
come here to show your cattle, try you
horses, and compare notes, but prospert,
will never attend you unless you sustain til,

, cheers.

large majority in both branches of the leg

The Legislature.---Give us n Short
Session.

Mr.. Editor II have, and the people have
favor TO ask at your hands, and at the
hands of all newspaper editors in this state.
And that is, will you caution the senators
and representatives, just elected to Mont
pelier, against long session Of the legisla-
lure? Before the time of railroads, three
weeks, at most four weeks, was enough
time to make all laws required. Then our
fathers did not adjourn over on the second
week Of the session to 60 home, thus delay
ing business one week at least. l know
that every time Of adjournment costs a
weeks time, and we have now got to such
pass, that members must come home twice
10 see sheir wives, and attend to their pri-
waite affairs, at each session. 1t is all folly
TO do so, wicked waste of the time and
money Of the people. Montpelier hotel
keepers encourage this practice of adjourn
ment, because it lengthens the session and
their bills. Demagogues and speech-mak-
ers m either branch encourage it, because
IL gives them time to tickle the ears of their
fellow members with newly prepared re-
marks. Lawyers like it, as they can steal
home and see to their cares. Ministers con-
sent, for they can slip away from the capt.
tai Saturday or Friday, preach at home, or
elsewhere on Sunday, save their salaries,
and yet pocket their ~ day" for the en-
tire session - Sundays iecluded-on the
midnight Of the final adjournment.
Will you not tell the people how their
servants have been doing of late years in
this matter? verify believe it would be
benefit 10 our state, to pull up the rails OF
all the raalrosds within forty miles of Mont
peIier, as soon as The "wisdom and virtue
had found their way to their seats sin tn,
house that Tom built" and not put then
down again until three or four weeks ha,
passed. Then truant members would hav,
finished their business, and get ready +

CAPITAL OF THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERAcY.
The Richmond Examiner predicts that
Richmond. Va, will be the Capital of the
Confederate States. 1t says:
"The secession Of Virginia will soon be
attended by the transfer OF the seat of Con-
federated authority from Montgomery to
Richmond. Situated near the great centres
of intelligence, and the great highways of
commerce, Richmond would present essen
tial conditions for the seat of Southern admin
istration. The telegrap ph brings intelligence
that President Davis when Virginia secedes,
will at once turn over the reins OF civil au-
thority to Mr.. Stephens and repair to Rich
mond to assume in person the direction OF
military operations, offensive and defensive
in this quarter.
I" We do not doubt that the force of events
will very soon, by natural operation, effect
Il transfer to Richmond of the civil rs we'll rs
of the military administration OF Southern
affairs, and that our beautiful capital will
thus become the seat of government for
what must quickly grow to be one of the
wealthiest Powers of the globe. Her prox-
unity to the spacious waters Of the Chesa-
peake, and to the vast commerce which po-
litical events will soon concentrate about
Hampton Roads; her readiness of access
from the seaboard by means of the James
and York rivers, and her perfect safety from
assault by sea or land when properly forti--
fed, her double character OF seaboard and
inland city, with the advantages of both AS
to commerce, aud the disadvantages OF nell
ther as to civil administration these cir
cumstances must all contribute to ensure
her selection as the permanent seat Of the
Confederate Government"
