them whether they sustain Gen HARRIS in
this most awkward position. Will they de-
ny the fact, or viii they justify it? Let

LEGISLATIVE INTERFERENCE" grand problem
in legislation" says the Westminster Review, is to
determine what extent it is expedient to interfere
with what may be called the spontaneous working
of society. The common is undue and vexs-
tons interference. Where acknowledged evils exist
the object of the legislature should be, not simply
their specific removal-or it is possible to effect that
without destroying their source-but the institution
of such simple regulations will tend, with little
disturbance of existing habits possible, to provide
self adjusting remedy for the evils. Unfortunately
men are accustomed to expect too much from legis-
iation. Parliament ought to interfere is phrase
that meets us at every turn, though if We inquire
into the matter which excites that observation we
shall find perchance that it is not much filter SUBJ
iect for legislation than the toothache." Our own
general government and our state governments have
committed too much of thatspeces of error alluded
to in the above quoted paragraph. " The world is
governed too much"
