lzed families to methodize the enterprising
impulses Of the heart of man; erected
three church spires ~ almost every village,
founded thousand Schools, opened accessi
| bic marts for trade and exchange, diffused
| graces, comforts and charities at home, and
transmitted to all parts OF our common
country Influences that shall neither fade
nor decay. Here, then, we find in this, one
OF the chief counties of Vermont. manu-
iactures and agriculture living in equali-
ty, advancing in fraternity. The one has
developed, build up, enriched the other.
30 great has been your progress, rich in
your mechanic arts and.manufactures and
strong in your agriculture, | was about
to say you could defy wars and embargoes,
anything but pestilence and famine. You
stand midway between the traffic Of the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and your desti-
ny IN the not far distant future needs no
prophetic vision to point out.
While have thus far spoken generally,
yet the metropolis of Chittenden county,
comes within the sphere of this days coz
sideratiOn; Burlington. in her growth and
progress, her pride and renOwn, her trade
and commerce, You are hers and she is
yours, sitting upon the lake, with
one hand receiving the products of the
inland and the West, and with the other
espousing the industry of the people who
stand behind her Chittenden county es-
tablishes most fully, the truth that the
progress of industry produces harmony
between agriculture and the mechanic arts.
As it il in your county, 50 shall it be re-
corded of Vermont. Her manufactures
have only commenced With studious
economy and continued improvement, stimu-
lated by her smaller communities the pro-
DrpSe of ot- lforn,,opuaol I'll IL onI
onward, for growing market at home in
New England, over the western prairies vet
hall unpeopled, agriculture shall catch the
impulse and obey the necessity. Vermont
cannot enlarge her territory, but eIteRsire
cultivation shall become intensive cultiva-
ton, by which an acre, a third of century
hence, shall yield what five or ten acres pro-
duce now. \ quarter of a century hence
an exhibition of like character will count
an aggregate production such as our times
have not contemplated. They will then
look forward, as you do now, to future
before them Of invention and discoveries
yet TO be apprehended, of more machinery
and more food to be produced for popula-
ton ever increasing, and ever making new
demands for new and multiplied wants. and
over the whole field of their vision, to their
past and future, they will recognize lines of
e.
gether in one common interest and destiny.
The government of the United States was
organized for the purpose OF unfolding, pro-
tectlng and expanding the interests of
American labor and weaving them into one
system rs broad as the continent. IL the
pursuits OF men, however diversified, are at
the same time idcntited-if American So
ciety Is but an aggregation Of laborers-
then it ought to strengthen the right arm
Of its power. | am not prepared to say how
that object would be best obtained-whetber
by legislation or whether by Withholding
legislation. and leaving labor TO take care
of itself that perhaps i, a discussion that
which does belong to the present occasion,
although a cOrrelatative one might; butthe
principle, the doctrine, that government
emanating like ours from the people should
have for it, first and highest aim the pre-
seryation, protection and the promotion OF
the industry o.. the people ; that. | believe,
is proper ut all times to maintain in the
midst Of a community linked together by a
common and vital tie. II we are not too
much wiser than the fathers we shall, with
purpose as unanimous asour interests are,
invoke their spirit and appreciate their in
structiOns And as all industry Is harmon
ious. from one end of the Republic TO tine
other, so ought government 10 cOnspire in
the social union. 20 bcautify and adOrn our
