.SDeeiH Or3er.-H. %. in relation to
the monument Of Nathaniel Chapman.
/ Mr. Ormsbee of Brandon. from the COM
mittee, explained the reasons that should
/ induce the State to pay this mark of re-
| spcct to Judge Chapman, to whom we
! owe the foundation Of the State govern
mcnt and the wise and judiciOus settle
: ment of the complication which existed
/ between the New Hampshire Grants and
! the State of New York. He was one Of
/ the first judicial officers in Vermont, and
was the United States District Judge in
/ Vermont. He also took an active part
! in the revolutionary war He also III
/ latter days prepared a treatise on the
| subject OF jurisprudence, which was sub
soquentlv furnished to the Gar of Rus
I sia bvthe President of the United States,
and was pronounced TO be the most per
feet work on Republican government
1 that had then been written. Dir. Orms-
bee said that while his life had been
thus devoted to the interests Of his State
and country. he died in 1S43 poor man,
and leaving no members of his family
able to erect such monument as his
| merits deserved. and up TO the present
time no monument had been erected
. save a rough, unletterCd stone to mark
the spot of his last resting place. and
( even this stone was known To but few
Of the older citizens of the town of Mid
dIntown in whose buTying place he was
! buried We have erected monuments
to the memory of others less deserving
than Nathaniel Chapman. and he hoped
the State would express its gratitude to
one Of its oldest and ablest citizens. The
sum of 5000 is but a small appropriation
/ for 50 deserving an object. He hoped
there would be no objection to the bill.
Mr.. Frisbie, of POultney, confirmed
the statement Of Mr. Ormsbre in regard
to the want of anything TO mark the
/ spot where Judge Chipman's remains
! were buried. and also the inability Of
his family to erect n suitable monument.
Mr.. Noble, Of TinmOuth, and Mr..
Stanley. Of Leicester, also confirmed
, Mr. Oumsbcc's statement.
Mr.. Munson, of Manchester. said a
decent respect to the memory of so pa
triOtic a man, was due from the State
and hoped. now that an opportunity is
offered, we should make the apprOpria-
ton for monument, as the least that
the State can do, and the least that we
ought to do. He hope we should give a
I unanimous vote for so Just a measure,
and so Just a tribute to the memory of
Judge Chapman.
Mr. Pingree, of Hartford, said he did
not believe the people of Vermont could
/ longer afford TO allow the last resting
! place Of Judge Chapman to remain I'M
marked by a suitable monument. He
called for the yeas and nays on the pas
sage Of the bill, which were taken :;
ayes 200, nays 3; so the bill was passed
