The first was “‘The President of the United ‘States;” which was received with great ap- Plause. “‘Maine—She writes Dirigo for her motto, and = ipo —_— ‘Stoae Teter to typity industry a1 e best source of national wealth will yet be found in her abun- dant and constant water power, and when hez many rivers are lined with factories and her borders filled with a busy population, then ali men without dissent shall praise the great Cold Woter State.” Response by Senator Hamlin, of Maine, who pad, at they had no Plymouth Rock in that St ee ee ee stand upon.

(Applause.] The charac- ter of the ple of New Hampshire was well typitied in its granite. Mr. Pat continued in some remarks in the same strain. “ Vermont — not less good to abide in than to emigrate from.” Kesponse Ly Judge Poland, of the House of Representatives. He said he was taken quite by surprise, but he was always ready to brag about Vermont. He alluded to the early hisiory of the State, and the honored names of her distin- guished sons from the earliest settlers up to the resent time. He spoke of her Boe oper to the ernment; of the many natu’ vantages surrounding her; claiming that she was to have the finest ‘and harbor of any of the ‘es which lie contiguous; of her ed schools, and her town meetings, (langhter,] which were miniature Congresses, and wi at questions were considered avd discussed.
