did not receive Il majority of the legal

sion, seems threatening TO obtrude
itself on Il tax burthened, short-crop,
gold-blasted people. If i'll addition TO
the loss of One-half of the indictments
of that wise and over worked body of
patriots, lost as the dispatches say, be-
cause the bills were not signed in time,
the mortgage redemption law, which
is now before the supreme court, and
the wonderful anti-gambling laws all
be declared unconstitutional, why, We
guess the state printer will not have Il

The laws that failed because the pre-
siding officers and governor were too
busy to sign them within the period
specified by the constitution may prove
no great loss. for the reason that the
people, not knowing what they were
all about. will never miss them: but
those measures of doubtful cOnStitu-
tionality-and there are Il number of
them-can only be killed at an expense
equalling their first cost. UnconStitu-
tional measures, if of 4 general nature,
while meaning full pockets for the
lawyers, and perpleXity for the courts,
can only prove 4 grievous burthen to
the people.

of two entirely diverse communities,
understands neither, and therefore, is
without influence or standing in either.

crat weary it makes all Kansas Repnb-

writers preach cold water for Kansas
and drink Missouri whisky when short
