But why single out the Legislature alone
among the public institutions for excsion.
There is the State Prison, where we are
boarding, in tolerably good style, about an
equal number of lubberly fellows, who might
earn their own living. There is the Reform
School, where boys of no great promise are
getting better care and training than most of
us can give our own. There are the Courts,
eight judges. and a little army of lawyers
and sherifs, with expensive Court house. in
each County, and everybody knows that the
amount of verdiets in year wouldn't begin
to pay the expenses Of running them, and
that it would be cheaper and less trouble
some to forgive both debts and injuries than
to redress them. Why, then, do we main
tain these institutions. Because they fur
nish us employment, develope our sentiments
and powers, stimulate our activities, because
they are the social and civic instruments and
exercises by which, as in a school. we are
trained for a higher form of being, or ac
cording to the Bushnellian idea, because
they are a part of the adult Play. which is
Of more worth and consequence than Work.

Mr.. EDITOR have been glad to see 50
much in your paper in favor Of the Mount
Vernon Association. | think it does YOU
credit and will add to the popularity of
your paper. In consequence Of these notices
| was induced some days since to say few
words to show my appreciation and pleasure
derived from reading the articles alluded To-
The subject led Inc to write more than in

and when you have nothing else to fill your
paper you may, i you please, insert any part
which have sent, either of prose or poetry,
at different times or the same time.
We had specimen Of the dramatic skill
OF two of your young men, Messrs Rice and

was so warmly NANTES ted last season by the
Ladies of Ellsworth in the cause of Temper

Biennial Legislatures.

Wecopy very philosophical article from
the Machas Republican on Biennial ssions
of the legislature. Bro. Talbot depicts the
uses of The State Debating Society" SO
graphically. and tells in such half pathetic,
half humorous and truly serious manner. the
evils to be apprehended from the doing away
of one-half Of the sessions Of the Legislature,
that We have become more than half convert
ed to his sensible theory of the uses Of state
Debating Societies. We had, upon the
first view Of this matter, come to the conclu-
sion that our Legislative machinery was run
too much-that it performs a great deal of
superfiuous labJ-, &c: but according to this
more rational view. the Legislators obtain
great deal Of good by these annual meetings,
and they are worth more than they cost
But if the Improvement of the members in
debating is the real good obtained. why not
choose and pay them for two years, and have

year, by all means, have home Legislatures
or District Legislatures.
The item Of expense is of no particular &C.
count and should not be put into tine case.
It is an insignificant matter; but the real OBJ
lection lies in the constant and persistent eff
forts of all legislators to both make new laws
and mend old ones. If some plan can be de-
vised whereby no new laws shall be per-
fected. and no old ones mended every other
year, let it be done BY all means, even if we
keep the Legislature on the course, prancing
