' " ' ; " iioin .Mr.
of "The 1'im: Hill Cemetery Association,"
to "The Evergreen Cemetary Association,"
and the other postponing the election of Rep
resentatives to Congress to March, lstiS.
This last is, or may be of much consequence
to the State. For if the Representatives are
to be elected as usual next Fall this Legisla
ture must make the Congressional Districts,
thus .jiving tis only two as before. But you
will remember there is a bill pending by
which three new Congressmen are to be
made and one of them will fall to Vermont
as she had the largest traction over a' the
last apportionment. If then this bill passes
as i; ih)ub'!c-s will, this delay will eive the
next Legislature a chance to divide the State
into three patts instead of two and still irivc
time enough tor the election, as the incum
bent does not take his seat till the Fall of
lt,:;.
The Senate. I notice, refused to concur i:;
the resolution of the House that the lieprc
se:ifilrie Hall tie iriven up on Tuesday evc
liinn tin-the address before The Vt. Historical
Society. This precedent will shut OUT the
Bible Society and Colonization Society, both
of which have their anniversaries here this

recent ( 'etiteiini il Celebration at Poult

Joseph Jo-lin, K-ip, Dear Sir : I have
received several cards ot' invitation, sent
out to the .-. tittered s0n, and daughters of
I'miltn' ), inviting them to the Centenial
Celebration. I know not who sent these
ini.--ies. but am grateful that nuij should
feint mber me after an absence of nearly
forty years. Business appointments, which
1 cannot postpone, and have no right to
neglect, will prevent my personal attend
ance at that interesting anniversary, but
ail the sympathies of my heart will be
with you. J honor the gentlemen of
Poultnev who have resolved not to let the
eventful birthday of the town pass by un
noticed. Much does the present genera
tion owe to the memory of the hardy vir-"ie-
of ;he early -otiler- of Vermont.

they laid the foundations of "the new
State" in "troublous times" on the true
Puritan principle o!" combining tin- secu
rity of the just and equal rigid- of a!!,
with the reign of law and order. I re
joice that Old l'oultney ha- resolved th.it
those Patriotic Benefactors ..I their town
shall not
" Forgotten lie,
Alike unknowing and unknown."
On the contrary, let their -tern deed- of
endurance he commemorat-d !t

remains on th- old-fa-hioned bier, trom

ancient worthies of Poultnev. He -old in

He wit- long Deacon ot' the Congregation

without compromising the right- of the

He was reoinrkabb- tor a 'h''j. k'- "'.

Sprague of Biiode Island, and denomina
ted the New England Regiment of Moun
ted Cavalry. This order is subject to the
direction of the Legislature
These several corps are composed of
intelligent, in lependerit citizens volun
teersenlisted lor three years, or during
the war: and the alacrity with which
they have volunteered and entered into
the service of the country, is a remarkable
and gratifying expression of the devoted
patriotism of our citizens, ami an unmis
takable pledge of loyalty of Vermont to
the government of the United States and
the cause of the Union.
I should do injustice to my own feel
ings, as well as to the officers and men in
service, should I fail to mention the uni
form testirnany which has been communi
cated to me of the excellent conduct of
our troops. Those of them who have
been in active service have been under
excellent .li-c'plini . and have, when in
pjsi-, ol danger and fatigue, dispi.ryeil a
ci-ohies-, courage and endur: nee not ex
