allusion to the fact that this is not the

State had an interest in the matter. The
town of Bennington had lost thirty per
cent Of population and forty per cent of
business on account of the especial iegis-
lation of the past two or three years
and he called upon the Convention to re-
iieve the town of Bennington from the
burdens under which they are laboring.
