y Bill has becn introduced into the House
by Mr.. Middleton, of Prince Georges Parish,
"to provide for the publication of the Acts Of
Assembly, in the public newspapers" which
we cannot but hope will become law of the
State. And although our readers may be
disposed to charge us with motives Of selfish
ness, in advocating the adoption ofsuch Bill,
yet we are firmly impressed with belief that
the benefits arising from its adoption, will ap.
pear evident 10 every reAec ting person.
As it has been heretofore, but small por.
ton of the citizens in the State. have any self
acquired knowledge Of the laws under which
they live. The Acts Of Assembly are placed
in the hands Of few only, whose situation. as
public officers, require correct knowledge Of
the Statute Laws, while the laboling portion Of
community must remain in ignorance, or de.
pend upon the "chosen few" for what infer:
nation their circumstances may need; thus the
majority are deprived Of the privileges which
belong TO them, and no opportunity is offered
them ofjudging for themselves.
Mr.. Fair, Of Newberry, has introduced into
the House II Bill to alter and amend tho lst
aud End Sections Of the 2pd Article Of the Con-
stitution nf tho State, so as to give the election
Of Governor to the people.
Also a bill to give election os Electors Of
President and Vice President of The United
States, TO the people. We are pleased to sec
the introduction of such bill, as we have new
er doubted, that this right belonged to the peo-
pie. This is the only State in the Union that
has no: sufficient confidence in the virtue of her
Citizens to trust them with the election Of Pres.
ident and Governor. Aud although It may be
argued that the present system does very well,
yet we think it might be improved. Many
persons will vote for candidate to the Lesisla-
turc, from some personal regard or esteem,
which they cherish towards him, while at the
same time, they are aware that his political
opinions are no. in cxactascordancc with tb ei

ties in 90, and he will at once discover that
the scheme of Mr.. Fan Buren,, is the very
twin-brother of the elder adams! And can
any democratic republican of the present day
support scheme offered by Mr.. V. b. which
found no countenance from his brethren of
that glorious period2 Never. 1t found no
favor then from the real democracy, and will
be repudiated by them now.
The coincidence of these federal desruc-
tive measures, is remarkable from the fact
that the same party which then ruled the des-
tiny of the country, also nor hold the reins of
government, after having first, in clandes
tine and sealthy manner, assumed the name
of Democrat, and by that hypocritical device,
hoodwinked and deceived the people. But
their eyes are fast opening, and just retri-
button awaits the deceivers.
MIR. Van Buren, must expect, at least, the
same measure of punishment as inflicted upon
his protolype,-a single term of four years
of power, when the people will hurl him from
the high place into which he crawled over
the shoulders of Gen. Jackson.
