Full Text
None of the important measures before the legislature, such as the new code, the State and district apportionments, the bank bills, etc., have as yet been consummated by the legislature. Several persons have obtained a ferry or a right of way; some unhappy mortals, whose matrimonial bonds kept them always by the ears, like ill-coupled dogs, have been turned loose by divorce, and divers similar acts of legislation have been performed, but the greater portion of the time has been consumed in frivolous and unprofitable discussion, and the important matters crowded in the heel of the session. The people have looked for different results. It is to be trusted that during the short time remaining, the legislature will act on the subjects before them promptly and efficiently.
