These propositions, Mr. X said, would rather aston

Legislative keystone

During the ensuing session of the legislature the
Keystone will be published twice a week. and con-
tain full reports Of the proceedings in both houses.
1t will also contain an account Of the proceedings
of the reform convention, which, (judging from
similar bodies in other states and the convention that
formed our present constitution }, will hardly close
its session before spring.
The political complexion of the legislature and
the important subject which will necessarily come
before it, will render the next session peculiarly in
teresting. All eyes are turned this way for speedy
reform in our present defective currency. Decided
action relative to the improvement system is ardently
desired in many quarters. These two matters of
themselves form subjects of intense interest to the
people at large.
On the 4th of March, democratic convention
will assemble here and nominate a candidate for
governor. An account of this together with the
preparatory movements of the party in all quarters,
will be faithfully detailed. From these circumstan-
ces, there never was a time when a paper from the
seat of govetment will be of such indispensable value
to all the citizens the commonwealth, for the
ensuing six months.
