Ts the Editor of the Times.
SR,-The Legislature of this Territory has
been made the depository of a trust, and the eyes
of the whole people of this Union are upon them,
intensely Watching the manner in which they
will execute it.
Already there are rumors of combinations, CO.
altions and influences being brought to bear
upon legislative action and the boast is, that
the Legislature will be compelled to adopt mea-
sures which will enrich few, and leave the Ter
ritory in a condition in which it will derive no
permanent benefit from the munifcient donation of
lands made by Congress. This is to be done
BY entailing upon us number of soulless corpo-
rations, and transferring to them the lands intend
ed to benefit the whole people of this Territory.
By doing this the taxes of the future State will
be increased-and its destinies placed at the dis
posal of Railroad Directors, whose sole object
will be to control it for their own benefit.
New Jersey is now writhing under the inauen-
ces of monsters of her own creation-and every
effort she makes to release herself, only shows
her own aoeatness and that the Hydra's strength
is increasing.
No-let the Legislature turn its back upon these
Rail Road companies. Let it create Board Of
Public. Works, the members thereof to be elected
by the people, to build these Railroads, and take
charge of all public improvements-o to
report to the Legislature annually, and in case of
defalcation, punishable as other criminals.

The Legislature.
The machinery of the new Legislature is not

The machinery of the new Legislature is not
yet fairly oiled up, as to be in complete work
ing order. The joints squeak as the arms sway
lazily to and fro, the bands of good-nature slip
ss they vainly endeavor to set the thing a-going,
the shaft is out of gear, and the wheels wabble
unsteadily as they attempt to turn. But few
days fabrication will make all smooth. So far,
nothing has been done in the House, except to
hear the message of the new Governor, refer its
suggestions and recommendations to appropriate
committees, (Which committees will be announced
to-day,) and provide promptly and efficiently for
the protection of our hardy frontier settlers, and
for the redress of the recent barbarous murders at
Springfield. The Council has also furnished an
excellent picture Of inanty, but the picture will
doubtless be sadly marred by some wide-awake
maneuvres during the coming week. The two
houses will probably adjourn to-day until Mon
day morning.
