Adjournment OF the E.ss7IsIature---The
work of the sessiOn---Acts and Joint
Resolutions Passed.

completed their constitutional term of
10 days. We have neither space nor
time al this writing, to enter upon any
thing like critical examination of the
work done, and, therefore, content our
selves with furnishing the subjoined
enumeration of the various acts and
joint resolutions that were passed.
Hereafter we shall have occasion to
refer TO the provisions and operations
of several OF these acts in detail. In
the meantime, we feel that it is due that
we should remark in this connection,
that the session just closed has been
one OF great labor, as any one can readi-
ly infer by glancing over the list below.
Those unacquainted with the forms of
legislation do not always appreciate
the drudgery performed in committee
rooms in Perfecting the wearisome de-
tails of bills. nor the subsequent tedious
labor of considering and discussing
them line by line in the two houses.
The position of an industrious and
faithful representative is anything but
enyiable, and certainly any one who
loves his ease or sets special value on
his time, has but little temptation to
aspire to membership in the Legisla-
ture.
In conclusion we would adopt the
sentiments expressed by the presiding
officers of the respective houses. con-
graduating the members upon the
termination of their labors, thanking
them for their zeal ON behalf of the
States best interests, and wishing them
each and all safe return home and
many good days to come
