Disregard of the Con.,I.u,ion.

1t is astonishing how little regard is
paid by our legislators to the prohibitions
OF the Constitution. The great evils Of
unrestrained legislation, and the favorit-
ism and corruption of special enactments,
were the subjects of common remark pre-
vious to the formation of our Constitu-
ton, and the people demanded of the Con-
yention that there should be q limit put
to it. The Constitution framed oy the
Convention, and adopted by the people,
was universally admired. 1t provided for
a simple government, subserYent TO the
United States. and in accord with our sis
ter States. But the first Legislature have
determined to follow neither the letter nor
the spirit of the Constitution. They over
step the plainest provisions, doing what 1t
says they shall not do, and saying yes
when the Constitution positively says no.
The Governor being more obedient to
the dictates Of his oath, has attempted to
confine legislature to its proper channels,
but in this he is at times overruled. After
the Governor, we have the Supreme Court
to look to, and as long as it IS able and
uncorrupt, we can rest confident that
reckless Legislature can infict no harm.
We do not charge nor believe that our
Legislature is corrupt, but when the plain
eat provisions of the Constitution are over
looked, they are certainly amenable to the
charge of recklessness or ignorance.-
