The Late Something Wrong.


Our returns from the late elections in Ken
tHcky, Alabama, Tennessee, and North
Carolina, are not complete, but sufficient
has been ascertained to show that there
is something wrong in the democratic ma
chinery. Whether it is the want of an au-
thorized organ at Washington to lay down the
law, or the consequence of a reaction against
the freesoil appointments Of the administration
or the result Of mere personal and local jealou-
sizes here and there we shall be better enabled
few days hence to determine. But we repeat
that there is a screw or two loose in the work
ing machinery of the national democracy as in
dicated by the general complexion of the re-
turns from Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
and North Carolina.
Almost annihilated in the late presidential
election, we were inclined to share in the gene
raj impression that the wing party was deunct
- stone dead-past all expedients and all hopes
of fermentation. Its scattered detachments here
and there have scarcely had any motives to reor-
ganize With both houses Of Congress over
whelmingly with the administration, what could
the poor wings Of Kentucky, Alabama. Tennes-
see, and North Carolina do? The floating materi-
ais of the popular vote despise powerless and
hopeless minority The sovereign people don't
like to throw their strength away upon broken
down cause. Their ideas and their acts always
take a practical direction, for some practical
purpose. Therefore, we must conclude that
the palpabe manifestations which have broken
out Of returning life in the body Of the wing
party, have a practical meaning in them,
which it would be we'll for the administration
to look into.
1t may be said thet the democrats in Ken
lucky have done almost a. well as could have
been expected-that they have achieved a
great triumph in MIR. Clay district and still
greater one in the reelection Of bir. r. III. Stan
ton, in spite Of a local dsafection in the party
ranks. But we regard the achievements OF the
wings. under the depressing circumstances of
their late general defeat as equivalent in ordina-
ry times to gTeatwhig victory. Mr. Brecken-
ridge according to the following letter, owes
his reelection to those friends Of mr. Clay who
preferred q manly opponent to that class OF
brethren who betrayed him down to the last
hour" Read it,

The Modern style OF Legislative Acts

We published few days ago. law which
members of Congress and legislators generally
would do we'll to study. 1t ran as follows -
The People of the State of New York, represented
in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Sec. i. Ten hours shall be deemed days work,
in the absence Of any agreement, for mechanics and
laboIers on all public works Of this State.
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect Immediately.
Not word more. No preamble relating the
urgent necessity Of coming to the aid of OPP
pressed laborers and definitely removing causes
Of strife; no whereas" followed by a string Of
truisms and notorious facts clothed in obscure
language; no pleonasms or tautology in the en-
acting clause; no hesitation conveyed in re-
dundance of sounding words, in any portion.
The necessity of legislative Interference is very
sensibly left to be inferred by the sagacious
reader from the fact of such interference; the
diagnostc of the grievance from the nature CT
the remedy. We are not even INDUCED with
copious definitions of what Z" days work"
means, what is to be understood by hours, y
and what precise meaning is to be attached to
"laborers and mechanics"
Had this act been passed formerly we may
rest assured that at least dozen sections, COW
ering three or four pages Svo.. would have been
required to convey its import All the words
which Mr.. Taylor has left to be interpreted
with the aid of Webster and little common
sense. would have been scrupulously defined
An elaborate treatise on the rights of labor and
the sore distress endured by the men employed
on our public works, would have been inserted
Inv NOV of preoroIla. ond xpn cbonld baya boen
told. in an Interpretation clause" at the end
that "laborers and mechanics included men
who worked with the spade and the saw and
the crowbar and host Of other tools-that
public works" comprised bridges canals, pub
lie buildings, 6c.-that days work" was
not to put too fine point upon 1.-THE work
usually performed by man in day. Inge-
nious reservations and provisos would have
been inserted by the dozen; and so much legal
foresight would have been displayed in explain
ing what constituted an agreement " that it
would have required half score of lawyers
and several judges to find out what cases really
fell within the statute, and what did not. In
short as the gentlemen Of the long robe know
too WE'LL the net result Of such a law AZ that
given above would have been, under the old
style, to give rise to endless litigation, and to
confer little or no practical benefit On The class
ii was intended to serve.
