With a view to a general ref.rm in the srstem, I recommend the subject to the i attention of Congress. I deem it my duty agaia to cill yoor attentioa to the condition of the District of Columbia. It wa. doubtles? wise in the frame rs of bur Constitution, to place the people" of this District under tho ju riadietion of tho General Government; but, to accomplish the objects they had in view, it ia not necesrary that this people hould be deprived of ;ll tho privilege of aelf.overnment. Independciitiy of tha difficulty of inducing tho Represantstiv. of distant States to turn their attention to projects of laws which are riot of tho high est interest to their constituents, they are v" t va v. well qualified to lojislata over the tivalv, well qualifi local concerns of this District. Conse quently, its interest, aro mua.h neglected, and tho -people are almost afraid to pre sent their gnerances, lest a body, in which they aro not represented, and which feel h"M, m its attempt to mak laws i for them, do more harm than good. Gov erned by the laws of the State, whence they were severed, the two snores ot. tho Potomac within the ten miles square, have diifemit penal code9 ; . not tho; present :ibi; and jLd ' Ct mlcl,4 M bownde of th State. To lie refer, codes oi , v irgiaia ana jniwia, uuibuuit" ' ci asexistedin those -States at the time.of rad to the Joint Solect committee. as existed' in those States at the time, of tlia cession to the LTnitd States. A Congreee will not form a itew eode, and as the people of the District cannot make one for thcmarves,' they aro virtually under two Governments. . Is it not just to allow them at least a delegate ia Congress, if not a local Legislature, to make laws for the District, subject to tha approval or rejection of Congress? I earnestly recom mend the extension to them of every po- litical ri?ht which, their interests require, , .. . .:t.i.. .C .U- t-onstitutiaa.
