Those whose names are printed in Italics were
not members last year. We have the pleasure
Of a personal acquaintance with only portion
of these. OF those we know, Stewart of Mid
debury, Edmunds of Burlington, and Powers
of Woodstock, have had much legislative expe-
rience in the House, the two latter having also
occupied with marked ability the Speakers
chair in that body, and their acquaintance and
familiarity with the methods of legislation, to-
gether with their well known talents will rem
der them valuable members of the Upper
House. Mr.. Dillingham; has served four years
in the National House Of Representatives, and
deserves to be, as he doubtless will be, one Of
the most influential members of the Senate.
OF the old members Of the Senate, there is no
need that We should speak. Their reelection
is their sufficient commentator and certificate
Of capacity, and of their skill and ability as
legislators the public are already tolerably we'll
advised.
In the House, of the old members who exert
ed a controlling influence on the legislation last
year, we notice, Noyes of Burlington, sound,
argumentative and persuasive speaker Smith
of St. Albaus, the pleasant, genial, and gentle
manly debater, Thomas of West Fairlce,
strong and earnest legislator, the head and front
and pretty much all there was Of Democracy in
the last House, Shepard of Montpelier, who
says but little, but accomplishcs great deal,
Dennison of Royalton, unquestonably one of
the ablest and most influential men at the last
session, Hunton of Bethel, who so acceptably
filed the Speakers chair, and WILL of course,
be reelected, Pingry Of Weathersfeld, who
brings to the affairs of legislation the same dis
eliminating mind and clear Judgment, that dis
tinguished him as Auditor of Accounts. John
son Of Woodstock, the thoroughly competent
and able member Of the Committee on Banks
Seymour Of Eergennes, the modest, amiable
gentleman, and efficient and influential speaker,
Garfield of Arlington and Gardner of Ben
nington, who fought SO gallantly the Ben
nington-shre' battle last Fall, and divided 60
equally the laurrls of victory, Miller of Pom
fret, the accomplished chairman Of the Com
mittee on Education, Tabor of Concord, the
ready and indefatigable champion of the Sc
cesson of that town from Essex County. Ran
ney of Brattle5oro, the careful and effective
speaker, and Myers of Jamaica, the aborious
chairman Of the General Commtte
Of the members, elected this year, who were
not members last year, We notice with much
pleasure Ex-Governor Fletcher of Cavendsh,
whose stirring and eloquent patriotism will not
fail to rouse to still more vigorousaction the al
ready active loyalty of the State, Miner of Man
chester, formerly member of Congress, and
frequently member of the House, and every-
where an able man. Dana of St. Johnsbury, the
popular Clerk of Caledonia County Court.
Underwood of Newbury, at one time on the
bench of the Supreme Court in this State, and
District Attorney for Vermont under President
Fillmore, Nichols, the returned volunteer
from Rutland, who proved too much for Cain in
the recent election, and will be likely to proye
too much for any one who may be SO rash as to
attack him, Henry of Chester, the wide-awake
