HON. CHARLES H. HEATH, OF MONTPELIER
who spoke OF the necessity of more general
system of agriculture, and of manufactures from
material which Vermont produces, than is already
observed He spoke well, as, indeed, he always
does; but as we gave two weeks since an abstract
of this paper, which he read at Marshfield, we
forbear further.
Rev. C. II. Huntington, OF Olympia, Washing
ton Territory, was then introduced. His paper
was of such exceptional interest and merit that
wecannot forbear TO give itn full. We commend
it to the careful consideration of all our readers.
REV C. II. HuNTINGroN's PAPER
"Our American life is distinguished from that
of most other countries by the unsettled character
of the people. In the old countries of Europe
the homes of families, like the thrones of govern
ments, are a fixture. From generation to genera
ton they are the dwelling place of the same line
age. and around them clusters the memory of an
cestors of former age, In America permanence,
which gives to home its chief value, is not the
rule, but the exception. The sacredness associ-
ated with the permanent home-our own birth
place, the birthplace of father and grandfather,
the place where has been made the history oil the
ancestral line for centures-is unknown IN TINS
young country We are truly migratory people
and the tendency seems To set more ana more IN
that direction New states open out upon tne vast
