\1EA1LEAlENS
What is the reason that we hear SO
much complaint against the adminis,ra
tors of our laws, aud even aeains. the
laws themselves Is the defe CT in the of.
fetal characters, or is it some where
else cannot at present say that ii is in
the laws; but j, is some where.
Were | to suggest few thoughts,
they would be something like these:
First, il is because the com planners
have bad caases and then, because their
attorneys have not been able to bias the
Jurors in their favor, they will rail out
against them with many hard sayings.
But that there are some bad legislators
IN the world, we do not pretend 10 deny /:
neither do We deny that there are some
bad executors. But how shall we cure
them % VIVA, we cannot cure, we must
endure"
In republican government like ours,
there may be some things done, and some
things avoided. The first thing to be
done, is, to keep out OF the law, as much
as possible. In order 10 do so, let every
man do as he would be done by" III
dealing, as well as in collecting debts.
u lawsuits, produce plain and pointed
testimony; and this will save the trouble
Of lawyer. In your own mind have
charity, which will +" cover muIliiuc Of
SINS" Let debtors be as lpunc,ual III
payment, as they would be 10 collecting.
And then we shall have less number oil
ten dollar fees, and many more peace.
able Inhabitants; less need Of jurors;
fewer causes Of complaint acains, law.
yers-jurors--laws or opponents.
Secondly. There are some things to
be avoided.
First. Avoid bad company, and there
will moi be SO many suits Of assault and
battery. In the choice Of company, lei
their delights be considered. If they
are whisky disciples, and you wish to re-
main honorable, walk not in their
coanse's; )" come not nigh their places OF
merriment; enter not into their delights.
Secondly. Avoid giving your suf'ra-
ges 10 man that is not The most worthy.
When you see man very anxious for o
post OF ,rus. honor, or profit, consider
he thinks himself capable Of filling the
station. But when you see him intro
ducc the poisonous contents Of the
bottle, in order to gain your friendship,
| would judge that he neither cares for
you nor yours; and is lily fit 10 make
laws for the happiness Of man or 10 ad-
minister those that are made. Look
there See how complicated are The ways
Of the man. He tells you he wants to
serve bis country in one Of the most diff
fcult stations in the world. The station
is an honorable one; and such as fill it
with dignity, get to themselves great ho-
nor. Now does he wish 70 gain the no.
nor, without meriting the same /! IF so, |
expect to find him bowing and scraping,
and showing the greatest marks Of pecu.
liar friendship to the very lowest Of hu.
man beings; and that, too, in the very
lowest manner. Now what company is |
