The Legislature.

The General Assembly has worked towards the
close ofits session, through the labyrinth OF small
matter. The more we see of the machinery of
legislation, the more we are IN tavor of biennial
sessions. Most Of the business indeed the larger
proportion ofit-was taken up with considerations
ofso little consequence to the great body of tho
people. that we are astonished an effort had not
been made long ago to give legislation more le-
Fidmste direction. Too much legislation, like too
much pa,ysic, may kill. instead Of curing the pa
tielu. sDd history gives more than one instance,
where the people have been drugged to DEATH
Its trueism, now passed into proverb. that
people may he governed too much, and there is a
limit TO screening them down by bad laws. beyond
which they cannot be easily forced to co. 1tshould
be the study of lawmakers to recognise this land
mark. and not to enter upon field OF wild spec
,,a,io,r to make discoveries in the science of gov
ernment, which may prove unsatisfactory to them.
xel,es. and injurious to their employers. The
wants Of tie social compact cannot remain hid
they are felt by too maryland the aid Of legisla
ton can only be necessary when they ere deveop-
ed. But to meet the case with skill and efficiency
the symtoms must be fully disclosed before the
proper remedy can be applied.
Most Of the business Of the present session has
been devoted to special legislation. TO providing
more exsensively fo the interests Of private cor
porsons, creating counties, altering the sites
ofcounty seats, authorizing the payment of old
and doubtfal claims against the state. and hun
dred similar subjects. Now Of all the errors in
legislation, that this any former period can be
guilty, we can conceive none more absurd and par
tal, than this vicious systea of partial legislation
Il is system in which ninety-nine cases out Of
every numbered the great mass of the people have
no interest It is got up by class of swindng,
speculators, to increase the value of their prop.
erty at the expense ofthe people, with whom they
have no common sympathy. During the sitting
of onr legislature such vermin, like the plaques Of
of legislation, in the rooms and retreats Of the
members in the open streets and secret chambers,
eternally crying in the language OF the daughter
of the horse. leech-"Give, give"
We denounce such an in ntoerable nuisance. and
the whole system that encourages it. And we
heartily wish that those men who are sent here
to take care Of the interests of all, will recognize
their relation to the people and resume their true
position; and we do hope that members will not
only confine themselves to the proper and legit-
mate sphere Of their duties, but consult their own
dignity as well as their responsibility, and spurn
from their presence and legislative halls. the whole
tribe that thus so shamelessy haunt them.
