session Of the Delaware Legislature,
ventures some very sensible advice 70

than has been usual 10 confederation
of measures TO promote the welfare Of
our whole people, and not allow mat
tsrs Of trivial nature, of NO especial
benefit except 10 q few individuals, to
consume the time major part Of the
I session"
Nov this suits N exactly. That ID
just what Legislatures should d. every.

particularly Objectionable legislation,
but we believe that II 1t would spsab.
