I am infnYmfed by Lt. Bangs of the U.

the office of Chief Magistrate xf this state. The repeated assurance of their confidence has added newxobliga-tions to improve my feehle abil ity in promoting their best interest. Notwithstanding I have laboured under many disadvantages yet, I have the approbation of jmy that I have endeavoured to be faithful, and that I have never suffered my private interest to in-terfere with my public duties. And, if errors have been committed, I entreat my fellow-cit-ize ns to east. over my failings the mantle of charity, and consider them errors in judgment aud not of design.

1 have always thought it wrong, in a republican government, to make too frequent changes of men in least it check that lauda hie ambition to acquire that knowledge which is necessary to discharge the duties of the office, with honor to themselves, and for the best good of the state. But I consider it an e-qual, if not a greater error, to continue any -persons in the most important offices in the VERMOXT GAZETTE. Bthrungton, Tuesday, October 26, 1819.

Martin Chittenden. STATE LEGISLATURE. On the 14th inst. the Legislature of this State convened at Montpelier, and on the 15th the Governor delivered the following SPEECH.

Gentlemen of the Council, and 4 Gentlemen of the General Assembly, IT is with pleasure that I meet you ou the present occasion, at a time of so general prosperity when not only our own Stateand country, but the nations of Europe, share liberally of the blessings of Provi-dence. The last season has been peculiarly propitious and the earth has yielded her increase in great abundance. It is also a subject of' the most leasing consideration, that our ear bought rights and privileges remain secure, and our labouring citizens, yet reap' the rewards of their own industry; and that peace and a good un. derslanding continues between us and the ualious with, whom we have any considerable intercourse. Although apprehension exists, tfcxb the? with Spain, so happily concluded with their Min, will not be ratified on the (ml of the Spanish government, et we.

may entertain a hope, hat further reflection ill ena-blc them to judge more correctly of their own interest, and put an end to the long existing dis- between the tjvo governments, and settle, a boundary line, which will prevent all danger of future disturbances. While we enjoy a rich variety of distinguished favours, we ought to reflect on them, with gratitude, and render the most unfeigned praise to Him who so liberally bestows on us his richest blessings. Permit me, gentlemen, to enquire, that while we enjoy all the means of wealth and happiness, so general a complaint cf the scarcity of circulating medium, aud the consequent distress of individuals, in discharging their private, debts and managing their own "concerns, prevails For. a people a rich and extensive territory, abounding with the fruits and productions of almost every clime with an unshackled commerce throughout the habitable world poises sing and enterprise. xced-ed by no people on earth; to be in distress for want of sufficient portion of- medium, is a subject that loudly calls for in-vestigathm and A-xnongst the Various causes, the want of etonomy, in ray opinion.

the most prominent. unlimited credit given in tins country, in' alinoat every branch cf business, to say nothing of the banks, proves the ruia of too many-valuable citr- it would discourage credit where it ought not to be given, produce punctuality in-those who obtain it yet the only safe remedy against embarrassment1 or( poverty, is a retrenchment of family expenses, and lessening the consumption of articles of foreign growth and manufacture. Much may done by encourageing1 home by legislative provisions but the 'most ''powerful of 'all means is that of example. Let but one influential from each town in this State, return from this Legislature to his constituents, with a rigid determination to abandon the unnecessary use of foreigii articles and while lie enjoys all Hie real comforts aud actual conveniences of life, reject cver thing that is superfluous bis fellow-citizens would soon emulate bis example, and exhibit an improved state of society! General information is indispensably necessary to the preservation of a free republican government; but this cannot be retained, if the great body of the people, through want of e-conomy, indnlge their propensities in the use of superfluities, and become poor and unable to educate their children.0 The patronage of the wealthy, will never be indiscriminately extended to the children of whole community. i Even that source will diminish where extravagance If I ani uot mistaken, in those states where the banks are the most numerous, and the means of credit the most easy, the recent, cry of scarcity of medium, and its consequent distresses, have been the most heard and felt.

This, gentlemen, willde serve, some attention, if petitions to increase the number of Banks in this state should be preferred. Although I wish equal privileges' to be extended to every part of the stale, yet' I am confident, that a multiplicity of incorporated banks in a tate, will prove injurious to the community, if not ruiuous'lo each other! In compliance with the con stilution of this state, a Council of Censors must be on the last Wednesday of March uext; it therefore, becomes necessary for the General Assembly, at their present session, to pass a law regulating the choice of said Council, and appointing a place for the first meeting. It will also be requisite to lect a number of Trustees of the University of Vermont, to fil the vacancies of those whose times of office will expire on the last day of November next, would likewise suggest for your of the Uou3e of Representa I embrace this opportunity to manifest my acceptance of the office to which I have been declared duly elected. An ou this occasion I beg leave to observe that for more than forty years I have been honored by my fellow-citizens with various offices both civil and military, some of them of minor others of more importance, all of them honorable. In the discharge of the duties incident to those offices to say that I bad never erred would be absurd, biit from 'the repeated elections which I have had it might be charitably hop ed that I had invariably meant to discharge the duties which devolved upon me in such a way as would best promote the public welfare.

I have now arrived at the age marked in Holy writ as time of labour tml at a period too in which the world has almost lost its charms. For several years past I have neglected making a similar communication to this, from conside. rations in some degree aside from my own judgment and feelings, but for a long time I have been determined not to let the present occasion pass, without manifesting in this public inanner, that it is my wish hereafter, not be considered a con-didate for any office. .1 have chosen the present time to make this communication, the 'members of the Legislature and ethers might have the best opportunity to select citizen, who they could present to the consideration of the freemen at large, to fill the office which I how hold. 1 cannot refrain at this time, as it probably is the only one which will fever present itself, to express tbs deep sence of gratitude which I Gel to my for the many unmerited, favours which they have so repeatedly, bestowed upon me, and to offer up to that Being who directs the destinies of worlds and individuals in the best possible manner, my most fervent supplicants for the state! for such a lenclh of time, I prosperity and happiness of this as to encourage them' to consists.
