The Attorney general suggests important
changes in our law. Especially do con
cur IN hi, recommendation that the act OF
1869 relating TO review, in capital cases.
together with the related and consequent
sections OF other acts, be repealed This
was one OF those acts hurried through near
the close Of the session without due con-
sideration. Although impressed with
grave doubts Is TO its constitutionaiity and
illness to promote the ends Of Justice.
wa, in that brief time unable TO prepare
and present such reasons of public policy
rs would warrant me in opposing an act
which had the Weighty sanction Of ma
jority of the Legislature. l believe the
iutent and practical work ng ofthe law were
not at that time fully understood.
The Governor and Council were instruct
ed at the last session to provide for re-
vision and consolidation of the Public
Statutes by contract or commission. AZ
ter careful consideration it was deemed
advisable to appoint Commissioners FIR
diligently employed upon their work, and
their report will be laid before you ut an
early day. The matter Of changing the
phraseology, be 1t never so slightly Of ex.
listing laws in order 10 harmonic and con-
solidate them, is SO delicate task that
you will pardon me If remind you of the
close scrutiny with which such a revision
must be examined before it is passed upon
making no doubt at the same time that the
work Of the board will be found In a high
degree accurate and judicious. The period
happens TO be a critical one; the census
about 70 be taken. the new valuation Of
property to hold for the ne4t ten years.
and various matters Of unusual importance
awaiting your decision. render 1t of the ut.
most Importance that you should use the
best discretion and foresight in repeating
obnoxious or unnecessary laws, and in
enaoting such ~ incorporated into this
revision may give IL some chance Of stang

compared to Stafford and Charles the
First in England, seven generations ear.
lier, by some of the very men who now
tell lis that Prussia, under the lead oi The
modern Stuart and the modern Straiford,
is the champion of freedom !--and they
expressed the hope that what befell the
English King aud the English statesmen
might beial the Prussian King aud the
Prussian statesmen, that is. that their
heads might be severed from their bodies
on the scaffold The war of 1865 was
not war for freedom, but q war for ma
tionality; and so far it was good war,
and we are glad that Prussia succeeded
in it, because the Germans ought to be
a nation.
But the best thing that followed from
that war was this: II placed Austria on
the side of liberalism; and Austria has
been far more liberal since 1865 than
Prussia, which has done nothing for free
dom since her last var. Indeed, she can
do nothing for il, for it is contrary to the
law of her Governments being to be lib
eral. France and Prussia, politically
considered, remind us of what has been
said of the bee ard the snake, by Per
sian poet "The bee will suck honey
from the most noisome weeds; but feed
the snake on peaches and pomgranates,
and lull it to sleep in bed of roses, it
will still produce nothing but poison. T"
France is the bee, the sting Of which
sometimes causes death, but which ever
produces honey and Prussia is the snake
which has swallowed up much that is
good, but has produced nothing but evil,
because it is her nature to produce moth
ing else.
