It is to be noticed that (according to Slade's State Papers) on the 2d of July, 1777, a convention at Windsor, established the first constitution of Vermont, which was revised by a convention at Windsor on the 24th day of December following, designating the first Tuesday in March, 1778, as the day of election and the sitting of the Assembly at Windsor on the second Thursday of the same month. On the 6th of February, 1778, at Bennington an address was issued to the inhabitants of Vermont by the Council, stating that the Constitution was printed and would be distributed among the inhabitants of the several towns in this State for their perusal before the day of election, recommend- ing a wise choice of representatives to comprise the General Assembly.
