RI The Members Of The YIginia Legislature.
GESrLEMEN-l hail with great satisfaction
the earnest attention you ara paying to the
public business
The resolution which has been adopted OF
sending the petitions, without the formsily OF
a reading, to the Standing Committees, will
save three or four days Of your sessinn.-1'he
| Injunction to lay the bulk Ut the public docu-
ment. on your table, the very first day of the
session, and the printing Of most Of them be-
fprehand, thus taking time by the foreluck,"
ought to save nj least AZ much, il not, more
of the time, Of your session.
A few more happy arrangements Of this
description will enable you to save at least
another week.--Are your committees or
ganized in such IL manner, as to permit
the strctest dispatch Of the public BUSH
ness You wait for Reports from your Com
mittees. Cannot they SIT longer? Or cannot
you have more C0nmittees, so rs to bring out
your business in more disposable parcels
Ii il be impossible to expedite your affairs,
in either of these modes, then you are respect
fully asked, Why not bring forward, at an early
period, of the session, some Of those ques-
lions which are unfortunately thrown upon The
hast parts of the session, and then too loosely
hurried over !?
By this happy. distribution Of your time,
between the Reports of your Committees, and
the discussion of debatable questions, could

better, and bi,nS the session more rapidly "

The Convention, f,,r example, is to occupy
some time. should conceive, that very lit
tie preparation is requisite in the Select Com
mittee, before The matter can be brought be-
fore the House. Tbis important point might
thus be decided before Chrstmas-and the
Senate need not adjourn at all.
In Truth, sirs, If ynu we're TO pursue this
course local and general bills might 20 ON to-
gethcr---,he Senate would have almost enough

promoted; both houses kept at work togeth-
er; and the session be cut short some Two or
three weeks.
There is at this moment a fine spirit among
you. You wish to do the public business
quickly and well. You wish to heal those
complains which the last protracted Session
called forth. You wish to arrest the nurmurs
oil the people. You wish To save your own
time, as we'll as the purse OF your constituents.
No nubler motive can animate public agent
In the SAME spirit, respectfully address you.
l throw uuI these ideas, Loose s. perhaps silly
10 iey are, and my object woui,! be gained, if
they could only excite discussion. SET your
minds about the best and quickest mode of
transac,ing the public business, and the thing
is done. 1 " ould rather see Select Committee
appointed for the express purpose Ut devising
the best plan of economIziug time, and dis
patching business. than the waste of time,
which the last session ocoasonrd than hear
the same murmurs from the lips OF an iudig
nant community.
The great aim of public officer is to do
his work w-ll-the next, when he is paid by
the tins, to do it quickly. Deiiberntion is,
therefore, the frst thing needful. Dispatch
