Ia a week from Tuesday Btxt the mcmbeni of the
LegiaktarawUl assemble at lata place for the ptraose
ofenteriaf uain thediachargaofthekduUea. Aawe
will aat tome another paper aatU after they will ha.va
eanraaedt wo have a few general remark to stake
which we hope will be worthy of conalderaUoa. Now
wo- have no doubt but that the Representative elect
will perform their duties faithfully eo far aa they an
conecioua of them, and we will bo pardoned there
fore If la our present undertaking wo abould remind
them of matter that may ahape thiaawWai man
duties. Law an or abould be made for the pafcUe
good, consequently their enactment to of each faapor
tance aa to demand the moat careful and rigid coBsld
eration. Yet, notwithstanding all the purity of pur
pose the wisest deliberatione.'aUtutea will appear up
on the atatate book "in the beat regulated" legtaUtare
which after legislation ia obliged to correct. If a law
ie found to be unjuat in ita operation, when the aplrit
of all law to joatice, abould it not bo repealed at once,
without any herniation? If a law to proved to be made
up of material that doe not favor the common right
the principle of which it to no honor to uphold
should it not bo repealed? The people the democ
racy, abould aupport nothing but what to right And
what u right ? That which doea noooe wrong f No !
That only which dot a positive good.
With these reflection and conclusions then w turn
our attention to an "Act relative to the currency" im
pudeullyatarittg at us from the 2d No. Vol. 1 of tlio
Spectator, now before us, being among the first law
adopted by this Territory. Now we bold that no con
dition of circumstances con ever justify laws of this
Mors Immkisant. Ily Iho subjoined letter it will
