M Repeated inquiries have been put to why it is
that the journals of the House of Representatives have
not been printed and distributed before this Formerly

the people should know how their public servants voted

with the sin of charering all the banks and they would
an make us responsible for all the rotten manufacturing
corporations which have been created in this State for
the last six years Let the journals be published distri-
buted and read and the people will soon learn where the
fault lies We shrewdy suspect however that the disr

of wing Shers will delay to the latest period possible

that good be assigned for this delay and
we call upon Mr. Miner Of Manchester to make known
how and why it is that the journals not already in
the hands of the different Town Clerks in the State If
the fault rests with the Clerk Shers let the people
understand it, that these public functionaries may be

committee however deemed it advisable recommend
reference of the subject to future legislature and they
did it, they said, with strong hope, and indeed with
confident expectation that the friends this most impor-

evidence that the change is decidedly called for and will
be eectually sustained by public sentiment" Now shall
