aThe people speak! They did speak, they

their words are the laws of the land These
constitute their letter of attorney to their

The whole world stands charged with no.

meaning of a government OF written laws

Test it by illustration. The Legislature are
agents of the people. They are agents
charged with discretion in the passage OF
laws. Suppose our next Legislature should
provide for an emission ola million OF bonds
which was accordingly done, and the same
are sold. The State is sued and denies her
liability. The law creating the DEBT was

ANOTHER LAPAGE CRIMR.-The st. Adams
Messenger has the following in reference to
an old supposed crime of LaPage. briei
mention Of which has been made in our
telegraphic dispatches: About ten years
ago, two women, mother and daughter,
walked from their home in an adjoining
township to the village Of St. Alexandra. a
few miles north of the Vermont line, in
Canada, on a shopping expedition, intend
ing to return that afternoon. They walked
on the railroad track, to save distance.
They did not return as expected and on tho
following morning the anxious hus band and
father went in search of them AtSt. Alex
andre be learned that they had started on
their return as intended and that was tho
last he could hear of them The communi-
ty was aroused and general search ipsti-
tn ted. Sweeping along the track and
through the adjoining fields. it was not
long befjre some Of the party found them
in berry pasture both murdered. The
daughter had been outraged and her body
mutIlsted, as in the case OF poor Josie Lang
maid, and there were indications that the
mother had died in her daughter defence.
A man named st. Martin was arrested but
as proof Was wanting to convict him. be
was released. Ii now appears that LsPape
was q resident of the eIghborhood at that
time, and the people are confident that he
was the perpstrator OF the triple crime.
