THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

The Legislature of our State adjourned sine die, on Friday last, having been in session for two months and six days, and passed one Hundred and t,ceaty.oae acts; the captions of which may be found on another page.
 It will be our first great business to spread these acts before the people of the State-when they shall ments which we may think proper to make upon them from time to time.
 By way of general remarks we will say, that we are satisfied, that there are many acts among them that are important and will prove highly beneficial to the State.
 We have observed closely. the conduct of the members of the Legislature during the entire ses- sion and can say,
 First; That with ttco or Mfee unfortunate ex- captions, the members of both Houses were sober, moral industrious and very attentive and active in the discharge of their duties, and that in point of intelligence, they will compare favoraby with the Legislatures of the other States

But fortunately they had the disposition to do eeH without the miad to ef- feet it. Ne do not intend these remarks to apply to ali the whig m ambers-ior there were few of then be 1t said to their praise, who seemed o seek the good or the state, rather than the advancement oi their party, and the injury of the majority. But We intend them for those whigs, whose course of iegis- atiea to every observer, brought them within the pursiew of the remarks
