legislation. Take the course of years, what does it
showl Laws, laws, laws-makng and unmakng-

Look at the British Parliament il shows this course

City Council, it shows this Al the Board Of
Assistants, one of the members begged the rest to
think little before they passed an ordinance, lest
they should be again placed in thu awkward position
of finding that they had done what they would be
obliged TO undo.
There was an ancient custom of Rome by which
any member proposing new law was obliged to en-
ter the Senate House with rope roand his neck, and
TO remain in this position during the debate al the
expiration of which, if his law passed. he was set at
liberty and honored; but if not, he was immediately
stranrlcd with tho cord that was attached TO him.
We by no means wish the introduction OF any such
Free discusson-preventlng custom in our own free
institutions but we certainly wish We could have
the benefit Of without the evil. We wish that men
would lot meet in their wisdom to undo all that had
been done by their predecessors. The enactments Of
this age will be swept away by the enactments Of the
next. Our laws are like our novels, which issuing
with astonishing fecunilty, become stale and used
m by those that follow. member Of the legislature
