offered to put up money for it without iu-

HOW NOT TO DO 1T.

The legislature has been in session
nearly two months. and so far very lit
tie has been proposed and less has been
done towards the passing of laws.
The next best thing to vicious legis-
lation is to have no legislation at all /.
and We should sometimes be thankful
for the inertness Of our representatives.
They are not. however, merely inert.
indeed it may be considered doubtful
whethe shey are inert at all. for many
Of them make the most earnest efforts
not to do their duty. by .mnther;ns bills
or having them smothercd. and By en-
deavoring to defeat good measures when
they come up. All this is bad enough,
but it is hardly as reprehensible as the
conduct Of those who, not from laziness
merely, but from fear of ihjuring their
future political prospects, abstain from
proposing and advocating measures
which they know are fer the best inter,
ests of their communities and State, and
90 about justifyins themselves by disin-
gcnuous excuses aud sopbistical ar
euments which must be transparent to
the comprehension of their dullest con-
stituents.
We would hold up to the emulation
of some of our legislators the example of
the late Daniel Hawkins E.q.. who rep
resented this County in the House of
Delegates some years ago. He proposed
and advocated the bill for the abolishing
Il gates on the Public Roads in this
County, and for time be was the best
abu ed man in the county. He knew,
however, that this was proposed change
in the way of progress, the benefits Of
which our neeer-ehangiag people could
not foresee. He knew it was for our best
interests. and he stuck to his bill like
man and it bccam law. That man
whose lonely. secluded and unostenta-
tious life would hardly have left mark
BY which any. outside of those who
Ioved him. would have remembered him,
is now thought of and recognized as
having done more for this County than
ary man who ever represented us at
Annapolis.
