DEs MONIES, Nov. 4, 1858.
G. N. DODGE, Esq:

Dear Sir--Your letter Of in
quiry reached me this day. find, on ex-
animation, that the omission Of which you
speak, occurred among the clerks ut the State
House, in copying the law for publication.
In the manuscript furnished US for printing
the laws, Taylor County is omitted. This
will explain the omission in the volume
But, although such omission is to be regret
ted, it in no wise affects the validity of the
Law enacted by the Legislature, by which
Taylor County is included in the Third Ju-
dleal District. Under tho New Constitu-
ton the taking effect Of laws does not de-
pend upon their publication; and if it did,
the law for the organization of the several
judicial Districts, has already been publish
liShed, BY authority Of the legislature. In
such publication, Taylor County IS inclu-
ded in the Third Judicial District. You
will sec, by the volume of laws, that the Sec
rotary Of State was instructed to publish ALL
The General Laws, and send copies of the
same forthwith to the several County judges,
by whom they were to he republished, in
the discretion of the Judges, in the several
County papers. According to this law, the
act creating the several judicial Districts,
was published in the Citizen of March 3lst,
and sent to all the Counties of the State
The act, as then published, includes Taylor
County in the Sd District. The act prov-
ding for the holding of Courts in tie sever
al Districts, was also published, and inclu-
ded Taylor County. 1t is clear, therefore,
that Notwithstanding the omission, Taylor
County is as absolutely in the Third District
as any other County provided for by the law
as published in the volume. ANY other con-
struction, enables Clerk or the State prin-
ter, to defeat the intent of laws at pleasure,
an idea too absurd to be though. Of seri-
ous'y. Yours, Truly,
J. TEESDALE.

not by the opposition, but by the '.disorgan-

editor is given as follows:
We, the democratic party in the State of

in the year of our Lord one thousand and
eight hundred and fifty eight, being the
eighty second year of American indepen-
dence, and during the administration of

gouged, run into, and knocked up. We
spread our nets far and wide, but have made
mud haul. The boiling dog fish ate holes
through the net and escaped. and the small
fry followed. The opposition cast fish. ber-
ries into the waters, and the scaly fools
