An Act to repeal an Acttllf-‘l'€’lD named-
currcncy, and the protection afforded to
every branch of industry, so fair as State leg-
islation can afford protection, as furnishing
high evi-.lence, both of the soundness of their
views and the pririty of their motives. They
appeal too, to the pages of the statute book,
as affording enduring monuments of the cor-
rectriess of their legislation.
A sound currency was insured to the peo-
ple by an efficient supervisions of the banks,
at the same time that the usefulness of these
institutions was not impaired nor their ener-
gies_ct'ippl€'d by a system of petty and an-
noying restrictions. The school food, the
pride and boast of our State, was guarded
with it watchful and jealous care-—at the
same time that an enlarged and enlightened
system of legislation was adopted, in regard
to our common schools—by means of which
a knowledge of their condition was every
where diffused, and the standard of education
elevated. .
The law regarding imprisonment for debt
had been so modified and ameliorated as that
no poor and honest debtor would be oppress-
ed---at the same time that the creditor was
not deprived of his remedy against the
traiidulertt and dishonest debtor. ‘
A registry law was enacted by which the
hottest elector was protected in the exercise
of his franchise while at the same time the
purity ofthe ballot box was secured, and
election frauds prevented.
The system of our county courts had been
so modled as to conform to those which
have long been in successful operation in
most of our sister states. and so as to elevate
the character and increase the usefulness of
those cotirts.
. The law regarding the sale of spiritous
liquors had been carefully revised. The
power of granting or withholding licenses.
had been conferred on the people. and was
exercised by them, in their primary assem-
blies. Under the operation of this salutary
law, many sections ofthe State had been en-
tirely freed from this desolating evil, and
thousands of unhappy inebriates had thrown
and were throwing off‘ the bondage and
chains which erithrallcd them. We might
within the last four vears, with which the
welfare and prosperity of the people of this
commonwealth are strongly identified. We
may also safely assert that the laws have
been ably and impartialy administered, and
that the various offices ofthe State have been
filled with men oftried integrity and worth.

sacred, even in the eyes of our politcial op-
ponents. Such, however, has not proved to
be the fact; and demonstrations were made
earlier in the session, showingthat a_majori-
ty ofthe members of both Houses had come
together prepared to undo all that had been
done during the three last years. The con-
sequence was, that a multitude of bills for
public acts were thrown in upon the Legis-
lature, ofa most radical character, in which
the vested rights of the citizens. and the
principles of the Constitution were ttlike dsio
garded. Of these, however, it is not our
intention to speak. It is enough that we
notice those that have received the sanction
of legislative enactment. One of the earliest
actsand also one of the first in_point of import-
ance, was the election of a United States.
Senator, to succeed the Hon. Perry Smith.
By what system of party discipline the dis-
affected of the party were brought to cast
their votes for John M. Niles, those best can
tell, upon whom the discipline has been in-
flicted. It is enough for the people to know,
