ng the entire session had this subject 10 view,

, sirabe. lie was not prepared to vote upon the |

The house decided not to postpone, and the
question was on the passage Of the bill.

IS so the House voted TO repeal the oct to incor
porate State University, &c.
The bill to establish the Vermont Agricultural T
College and State University next csme up as
special order and the question was upon ordering
the bill TO third reading,
Mr.. Hebsrd Of Chelsea stated the main pro. 1
: visions Of the bill II was intended to combine
the views Of those who desired the establishment
OF an Agricultural College, and was 50 framed as
10 obyiate objections. Il provided for the uniting
Of other institutions with the Agricultural Col I
ege II they caose 20 unite with II. 1t differed /
from the act Of last year in giving more pTom- .
nenee to the Agricultural department.
Mr.. Lynde OF Wllliamslown moved to amend I
the title Of the bill by striking out so much Of il
as relates TO State University, and also TO amend
the bill in accordance with this chinge Of title.
= Mr.. Pease Of Norwich, opposed the amend 7
! ment and The bill on the ground that the attempt
to build up an Agricultural College upon the ba-
= tis OF the agricultural fund would prove n good
degree futile The fund was not sufficient for the
purpose in view. II the bill passed in any form,
II Nes mol probable that any OF the existing nsli
tqtion, would unite with the Agricultural College,
and il would have TO stand or ial, alone.
Mr.. Lynds supported his proposition to amend
by considerations drawn from the important ag.
ncunura interest Of the State The farming TO-
terests of the State had hitherto been but little
B fstsred BIS the Legislature. Here was an oppor-
lunty to d. much, by founding an institution such
as the farmers OF the State desired, They need
ed an institution where an education could be &C. /
D qartd in less time and al less expense than in /
o the classical institutions Of the State, The sous
OF farmers did not noed to be eduoaled tor proies-
D siona ifr, yet they needed education, lie hoped
the LegisliiIre would not let psss this opporlunl-
: ~ TO do something for the farmers of Vermont.
Mt Deine Of Clyendish, opposed the amend
b menl on the ground that the Till had not been
D drawn with the view establishing an Agricultural
College SIMPLY and It amended as proposed
r would be imperfect lie thought il better TO
draw new bill with reference to founding an
! Agricultural College. lie wss opposed TO the
e bill a,o without amendment. lie did not after
the course that had beeu taken with reference TO
the act of last session, wish to hold out any more
I bats OF Inducements TO existing institutions.
d Mr.. Nicholson OF WAllingtoru, moved TO dis.
n miss the bill. There was hardly tins in the pres.
,uts Of important business to perfect bill ,uch
o as was demanded, this SsSion. Ii hasty leg,s.
d ton would repeal It. lie hoped The fund would
e not be diverted from its true purpose by hasiy
d action. lie had though, a reform school for lu-
l. ytnies Nigh, he properly united with the Agri.
! cultural College. II might appear in the course
= ofa ,eir that ihi, would be desirable.
+ Mi. Abbott Of Windsor, was opposed TO any
y material amendment Of the bill. tie could zee
l. no impropi,,y n eonlit uing en invitation 10 the
existing institutions to Join IN this enterprise. IL
might be proper TO hold ouI such an invitation at
leas, for another year. II VAS understood when
the act Of ast year was repealed that an &C, like
