the people, through the Legislature,
from Time to time, to so regulated and

tian has followed In the footstep Of
Pennsylvania and Missouri in their
Constitutions, recently adopted after
long experience, with view 10 protect
the people against abuses from that
source. We ask your careful attention
to this portion of the Constitution. IL

JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.
In this branch of the constitution,
under which the greatest burthens have
heretofore rested Oh the people, the
Convention encountered its most diff
cult problems. AS 1t has been for six
years with forty Judges latterally Oh the
bench, the administration of Justice
has been far behind in nearly oil the
counties. Parties litigant In civil cases,
as well as parties charged with crime,
have been so delayed as to amount,
in th0usanes of cases, to a denial of
justice. But the most potent wrong
has been upon witnesses aud Jurors ia
k0n from their respective Industries
and held for days, weeks aud aone-
times months, in waiting upon the
courts; aud the enormous cost In en-
forcing the criminal laws. This state
of things has been deplorable, and a
severe tax upon the people. Judicial
delays haye kept our jails filled with
prisoners at q ruinous expense TO the
counties; and many mlsdenleanors
having been un wisely placed In the
list of felonies, the penitentiary, at q |
great cost TO the State, has been made
to overflow with convicts, mostly for
short terms. 70 correct this evil and
these yuipous burthens upnn both the |
counties aud the State, whose interest
is one and the same, was a problem |
with which the Convention had to |
