Publication Of The LazSs Of our Stafe.--We hope that at
the next session of the Legislature of Delaware, law will
be passed authorizing the publication, in Newspapers
the Laws which shall be enacted. The expense attendant,
upon such measure would be mere trfe and the bene-
fit TO the citizens would be great the first notice many
of them receive of the existence of laws, demand
the penalty incurred by the nfacton Of them The adop-
ton of the method here suggested of promulgatng the
laws, would make them known to thousands who would
not otherwise become acquainted with them and we
think duty Legislators to their constituents az
least to make such of their statutes Of general
ture universally known, by the publication Of them
in Newspapers. This plan is in operation in Of the
States in the Union, and is attended with saluary
quences In the State of Massachusetts, there law
granting compensation to every editor who chooses TO
publish the edcts of the State and in part Of
try find people familiar with the local laws
or less accustomed to the violation Of them.
