Of the determination Of the people 10 sustain the

about teaching Democracy (LocofocoiEm) in pub

THE LAws.-We are informed BY the county
otheers that one or two numbers of the pa
per containing the laws have been received; but
as yet no action has been taken relative to their
publication. Should the proper officers decide
to publish any Of then, they will appear without
delay on our part. The whole matter is left to
the Auditor, Prosecuting Attorney and Probate
Judge. Would it not be we'll to 90 one step fur
ther, and submit the entire question of laws to
these officers? Should they think proper to have
any more laws enacted, or any Of our present
infallibe' laws revised, let them advertise to let
the job to the lowest bidder. We love to see con-
Sistency in all things. We do not believe in
grinding the noses of mechanics and at the same
time paying idle vagabondS 81 per dag to purchase
scented haHdkerchiefs. II the lowest bidder ID
applied to mechanics, let it be applied to leEisla-
tors. There are thousands Of vagabonds who
would agree to spend season in Columbus fol
much less than "a day, and who would not dis
grace the state by enacting half as many foolish
and bungling laws.
