Curtaiiment Of Court Eapences.-One
of the very best reforms introduced into The
new Constitution is, ihat which provides
for such changes in the proceedings OF
courts as will make them shorter, less ex-
pensive and easier Of comprehension. To
accomplish this purpose, it is made the bus
mess of the first State legislature TO ap-
poipt three commissioners whose duties are
set forth in the following section Of article
IA: i1'-t" .-' .S,
"Sec. g: The said commissioners shall
revise, REFORM, SIMPLIFY and A
BRIDGE, the practice, pleadings, forms,
and proceedings of the courts of record Of
this State, and as far as practible and ex.
pedient, shall. provide for The abolition Of
the distinct forms Of action at law, now in
use and for the administration ofjustice by
a uniform mode of proceedings, without
reference 10 any distinction between law
and equity" nav sA1 2s'C
The reform contemplated in the above
section is Of very great importance. AT
present court charges are enormously high,
and they will remain SO until the mode Of
practice is "sinaplifsd and dbyidged."-
When this ihas been done, the pleadings
will contain more common sense and less
labor for the clerks Office and lawyer. In
New York, Mississippi, and other States,
the system oflaw proceedings has become
popular even with those who were at first
hostile to change Ohio Patriot. .lsEi

@ The last Whig inficts upon its
readers over Two columns of twaddle and
falsehood against the New Constitution, in
which it says: ''The public are fully
aware-men of all parties-that there was
no pressing demand for any material alter
alton of the organic law Of the State.''-
That is bold assertion that the People,
who by $4,000 majority declared in favor
Of an amendment and reform of their or.
ganic law, do not know their own interests!
Will they not petition to have our sage
nsighbor of the Whig appointed the II

We are authorized by Senator WADE to
say that the above statement is false, and

So, it is perfectly evident there is a lie

told it? Now, we can bring number oi
witnesses from among Senator Wade's
most intimate friends, to whom he frequent
said during the late term of'oourt in thi.
county, that he was in favor of the adop
ton of the New Constitution. Does any
one believe that after having thus openly
declared himelf, he authorized the Whig tt
make the above fiat denial? or, is the ia
