ALLEN.
The arrangements for the formal ill
auguration and presentation of thestatue
of Ethan Allen, to be placed on the
granite monument at Green Mount Gem
etery, are so far in progress that we risk
nothing in stating that it will unques-
tionably be one of the most imposing
and interesting occasions of its kind in
the history of the State
1t was eminently proper that such an
event should take the characterof State
testimonial in honor of the memory of
the hero of Ticonderoga, the leading
spirit and representative man of the
Green Mountain Boys of rs, and the
patriot, of whom the historian Sparks
truthfullY said "Few have suffered
more in the cause of Freedom. and few
have borne their sufferings with frmer
cOnstancy or loftier spirit" To this end
Governor Converse has appointed gen

Hon. John n. Pomeroy and Hon. Geo.

did not at that time warrant the com

ed with taxation, and he is in truth
the ultimate taxpayer for the whole
nation. Twelve years ago and prior
to that time it was not so. Agricul-
ture was then among the most remu-
nerative, as it always is the most hon
orable of human occupations. It is
the great basis of all-true prosperity,
and a larger part of the human race
must always be more interested in it
than in the other human pursuits
No form of government can be just, no
system of policy sound which over
loads agriculture and labor with un-
due burdens. It always requires time
for masses of men to to become imbu-
ed with ideas which the few who have
time for reflection and study see more
quickly and distinctly. And they feel
undefnably the evils which oppress
them long before they come to recog-
nize fully their causes.
For the present the farmers leagues
seeminclined to charge most of the mis-
fortunes of agriculture to the exactions
and tyranny of railroad corporations.
That there are palpable grievances in
them, all may perhaps agree, but they
are only part, and a small part-a
mere of-shoot, so to speak, of vicious
misrule. For that who are response
