Whereas, In the opinion of this Con-
vention the growing practice Of oft-re-
peated and long continued adiournments
by the General Assembly of this State
during its annual sessions, is not only
detrimental to the public interest and
burdensome to the people whose SER
wants our legislators are, but a crying
evil which demands a speedy and effect
ual remedy therefore,
ReS0lged, That the candidate for Gov
ernor this day nominated, by the dele
gates OF the Union Republican party Of
Vermont in Convention assembled, be
requested, if elected, to call in his annual
message the attention Of the Legislature
to this subject, and to propose for con-
sideration and action, some plan by
which this unjust squandering of the
time and money of the people of Yer
mont may be prevented, and the State
be relieved from portion of its already
heavy burden Of taxation.
G. A. Weber, Esq, Of Rochester,
moved that the State Committee be in
structed to call the next State Conven-
ton as Mass Convention, and on mo-
tton of Hon. @. W. Willard, the resolu-
ton was ordered to lie.

the nominees appeared in the Conven-
