adopted:
Whereas, Since the meeting of the
last General Assembly both of Yer
mont's distinguished Senators i'll the
Congress Of the United States, have
been stricken down by death, and
whereas, this dispenSation of Prov
idence has cast its shadow into ev-
cry householdin our common wealth,
and hung with the habliments OF
mourning every homestead III our
State; therefore
Reso'red by the Senate and House
Of Representatives., That so great a
loss, and gloom and sadness so
general as to touch every heart, and
fling its dark shadow over the whole
State, deserves, and should receive,
from the representative of the PEG
pie in General Assembly convened
solemn and hefitting recognition.
Resolred, That while we deeply
mourn, we bow in humble contri-
ton to the dispensations of an all
wise God, whose ways are not our
ways, and who is too wise to err.
too good to be unkind."

Hon. Jacob Collamer and the Hon.
Solomon Foot, both able and distin-
guished in the State, and in the
councils of the nation, their State

with a loss which is irreparable.
Their personal integrity, their social
virtues, their manly bearing, their
devotion to the interests, the wei
fare and the honor Of the people,
and their Jealous guardianship OF
the interests and honor of the State
endeared them to the people, who
bestowing upon them their highest
, honors and awarding 10 them their
fullest confidence while they lived,
will cherish their memories and
{ point with pride to their lives as ex-
amples of purity, virtue and patriot
ism for ourselves and those who are
to come after Us.

; influence OF our lamentcd Senators
in the Congress of the United States
always alike honorable to themsel
yes. their constituents and the cOun
L try, gave to this State command
II ing position in the councils of the
|. nation. Their patriotism, their de
:. votion to the principles of liberty
u justice and equality, and their I'M
" swerving fidelity to the trusts o
r their State and the trusts of TIN
