There is a very old jOke-oder, We doubt not, than
the Christian Religion, though It's Midde-Age appica
ton was usually pointed against Rome aud her Church
that devotee once became perplexed with serious
doubts Of the validity of the priesthood in whose faith
he had been reared and was thereupOE impeled TO
visit the religious capital of his Church. He went aud
observed ard POI dered, and returned 10 his home per-
f,ctly ard for ever satisfied and treasured For"
said he $50 much iniquity folly and corruption as
witnessed there would certainly destroy any church

the last Fix months must be nnpelled to a like

Holding an Extra Session at all would have at any
time upset Wig Administration The Consti-
utou Of our State very plainly implies and requires
that all ordinary legislation shall be transacted and
completed within the hundred days prescribed for the
durstion Of Session An Extra Session is con-empa
ted only the extraordinary occurrence Of war, inya-
sion formidable resistance to the laws some form Oi
Unforeseen calamity. But no such pretext has been
furnished for the present Extra Session Nor the
majority nterpose the usual plea that their efforts to
transact seasonably the public business have been
balfled and oyerborne by factous and embarrassing

TO be fouted and pundered After the public patience
has been thoroughly outworu, We have an adjournment

enterv had set in for the summer and its subsistence
could not be hoped for while green fruit and other pro-

On what imaginable grounds they lay claim to this

II they demand pay for retaining SO long from doing
mischief the reply ready that the merit is IN no de-

doubtless have been playing at legislation throughout
