I edious as.we have been on this point, we teel constrained to add, that the ex pen siveness of your Legislature is : not the only objection, to its present organization. At an early period ofour history as a State, the annual meeting or your Representatives was perhaps tfise and necessary, but now it af flicts the country by too much legislation; it engenders two evils where it corrects one. The statute book is laden with laws which three men were permitted bv courtesy to pass for the county represented by them, witnoui oeoate among the rest of your re presentatives, merely because they were o- ca. :Unss some prudent check is applied, a lew. more years win give each .. county code of its own.: Local legislation "has increased,1 is increasing, and ought to be diminished' We may be deceived, but we think; it proceeds from county represen tation in poth. branches ot the Legislature. i he people are not informed of the acts o one Assembly , before an other Assembly has metjabday--' hajo repealed orljnodified them.5 ii They are never able to test the sa gacity of their Represenatives by the results of experience, under the laws they have been tneinsxrumenu lor maxmg, oeiore a new election 1 Even the sherits ' of the State are not uirifrequently ignorant of materia alterations made in the laws for, collecting the revenue, untill alter they have incurred the forfeiture of neglecting their provisions, heejpnfidentljr'.

VII.; ; . I The present Constitution makes it imperative on the Legislature to elect Field -Officers ot the Militia by joint ballot. and to nominate Justices jf the Peace '. It is believed, that these powers might b more judiciously exercised, and certain ly they would be more eonomtcally performed, by snch tribunals as the Convention, may think best to invest with either or both Whatever the theory of this -provision may seem to be, the (general Assembly is in practice, a very unfit depository of these powers. The Officers of the mi litia are elected without any previous knowledge jf the qualification; of candidates, and a recur rfmce to; the period at which your Constitution Was framed, will show why it was then thought expedient to ive your Legislature the exclusive right of electing thes. Ofifcere. This was then a5 sovereign State, in the largest sense maintain ed its own army,, and organized its own for ces. The wat of the Revolution for independ ence had begun and was urged with fury within your borders, and neither the Constitu tion of the United States, nor the ac of coo federation had been , ratified. As to Justices1 of the Peace, each j county delegation do Wprttc t'tpe make the nomination for their respective counties and before the f County i Courts were djvested of all tbeir patronage, this privilege was not unfreqnently abused.

In defi ance of sch obstacles, we have ventured upon the doty assigted to us by a respectable portion of yonr Representatives. We jlrei not sectional partizans We "go-f ir the State and the whole State." But we have seen her Legislature distracted by party spirit, and cotmcUs divided by sectional interests which are supposed to be different, but are in fact the same, until her name has become a bye-word of ridicule, her own citizens become startled at the inculcation of principles asserted in their Decla ration of Rights, and are growing too timid to advance ope step in the race for honorable dis tinction and 1 he fear of party reproach shall not drive us from the attempt to rescue her character, and re-animate her spirit. ve are not Alarmists !
