The following resolution was offered by
lion. L. ID. Mason of Richmond, and was
adopted without discussion;
Resolved, That we regard the proposed re-
newal of the old reciprocity treaty with Canada
as a question Of oyershadowiug and vial i'm
portance to the people of this State; that with
out any unfriendly feeling toward our Canadian
neighbors. we earnestly protest against the re-
newal of any treaty for reciprocal trade with
them, by which their farm products shall be
admitted to this country, at free or reduced rate
OF duty, as being unjust and ruiu5us to the
farming interests of Vermont; that we deny the
constitutional right of the treaty-making power
y" M any tAtbty WhiCu slidu uN tht Tute OF
duties on imports; that we expect our Repre-
sentative in Congress to use his utmost care and
vigilance, first to prevent the negotiation of such
treaty, and second, if such treaty is made, to
resist all legislation tending to carry it into eff
feet.
Resolred, That the secretary Of this conven-
ton be directed to forward copy of this pre-
amble and resolutions to each Of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress, signed by the
