It is not to be wondered that the Pearce Bill has been accepted by the State, when we consider the extraordinary and untoward influences which have been brought to bear upon the question.
1. The indebtedness of our State, and the want of internal improvements, which has been sorely felt.
2. The misrepresentations of designing and prejudiced men. The most mischief has been produced in the East by Kaufman's false map and his false letter.
3. The matter has been hurried through without time for proper investigation and reflection.
While we regret the course the State has taken, we cannot but feel cheered from the reflection that as a journalist we have done our duty, and that some at least are to be found alive to a sense of the responsibility which devolved upon us as a people.
