ter New England State in holding biennial ses'

Vermont Farmer:
ST. JoHNsBURY, VT, Feb. 6, 1877.
To the Editor Of the Press
i see by your issue of this morning that your
Legislature is seriously considering The matter oi
a biennial session. Now, Sir, allow me IN the
light of our Vermont experience OF several years
to protest against such course. In your YET!
able and lengthy editorial you eat the sane nj
points, and Whist / wish 10 do Is to emphasize
some OF them as follows
FIRST. You will get a lower average STANDARD
of ability in youf biennial than your annual ses-
sious / shall not stop to dwell upon tins point
The fact is quite patent With as for reasons which
thinking men will see.
Second View few old members are returned

a hankering after ofi:e-is so great and powerful
that it becomes a marked exception for man to

ne W men, as so many wish to go to glory and
shame TOO, may add, in too many cases. Con
sequenty, few scheming lawyers OF other wle-
pullers manipulate things to their liking with
much greater ease. A few days since, Que OF our
Vermont farmers said 10 a public assembly-and
he was witty member OF the last leglsistufe-

Third. 1t is poor economy. That was used as
an Argument when the State went into H. out II

men did "lie" most eglegiou.ly. The State will
not save dollar practically. 90,
