1t is now very near the time when it was
usual for us here in Vermont to meet TO make our
elections for State officers How odd, then, must
it seem when the first Tuesday arrives, to see it
pass without witnessing anything of the sort, q,
most likely We shall, unless some, inadyertantl,
obliyious OF the change voted in last years Con
stitutional Convention, should nevertheless NEE
and go through the form Of it from sheer habit
which would not be any great wonder. lhost

moved the Convention to make the change Foi
