Pres ent:— Chief Burgess—Abraham M'Coy. Asst. Burgesses—Thos. Fisher, John Simp son Council—Messrs, Cornpropst, Westbrook, Grafius,Carmon, Black, Lower and Snyder. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The following preamble and resolution was offered by Mr. Black, and, on motion, was Unanimously adopted: Wrimtms, The Burgesses of the borough of Huntingdon; in pursuance of a Resolution of this house; passed the 29th day of Decem ber, 1856, drew an order in favor of Abbott & Co., for one hundred and forty dollars, in consideration of the erection of a hay scale, and the said Burgesses having since ascer tained that the contract price was one hun dred and fifty dollars, and therefore cancelled said order, and issued another instead there of No. 25, for the last named amount, 0150.) It is therefore Resolved, That this house approve and con firm the action of the Burgesses in the prom ises. A bill of Fisher & MeMurtrie for $17,50 for inerchandize furnished, was read, and an order granted. On motion, an order was granted in favor of James flight for $7,81, for labor done in 1855.

Murray Simpson, collector of the borough tax for 1856. On motion, the house adjourned to meet at the usual place, on Monday evening, the 6th inst. J. SIMPSON AFRICA, Sec'y. Good and Bad Laws We have thirty-one sovereign States and seven Territories, with a national govern ment, having limited pal\ ers, though plenary on certain suljects, over them all. Within the Stares there are numerous city, village, and other subordinate authorities. All of these arc clothed with powers of legislation, more or less extensive. The persons exercis log them may be presumed to possess every lapiety of qualification, from the lowest to the highest. Under such circumstances, it is not extraordinary that the laws should be varied in their character, some good and oth ers bad. The motives of the legislators, al though presumed to be good, may sometimes he questioned, but it rests with those who impeach them to establish the accusation.— Probably no legislative body in the Union has been so fortunate as to please everybody in all its laws. Every State has at some time enacted laws which a portion of its people o mdemn as unwise or unconstitutional. All such matters .are of local consideration, and are soon settled as such. In Maine, Massa chusetts and New York, •their liquor laws have been the subject of the most exciting controversy. In the latter State, their canal enactments aroused angry and bitter feelings, and her courts declared one of them unconsti tutional and void, as it did their stringent liquor enactments. Statutes in other States have been declared unconstitutional and void. These things warrant us in saying that bad laws are not confined to any one State or Ter ritory, nor good ones the exclusive character istic of either. Until recently, criticisms upon legislative action have usually been con fined to those to be affected by it. The "Maine-law" enactments aroused only those subject to their provisions. The New York and Massachusetts passenger laws, which the United States Supreme Court held to be in conflict with the national constitution, dis turbed those only -whose interests were affec ted by their operation. But it has been left t.) the meddling propensities of a sect of po litical perfectionists, in our day, to extend a querulous supei vision over laws to which they are not amenable. Not content with denoun cing enactments which displease them, they misrepresent and falsify their provisions so as to afford an apology for denouncing them with greater vehemence and effect. This has been emphatically true in relation to the laws of Kansas. Those of Nebraska and other Territories, as well as in the States, fail to attract their attention, or afford them no cause of complaint. They all escape criticism, while those in Kansas are denounced as wick ed and unjust, but mainly on account of their tenor and effect being grossly misrepresented. Kansas passed her code of laws, and among them there are many containing wise provi sions, not inferior to those of the old thirteen States. These unexceptionable laws the fault finders never openly approved. She passed some that were unwise and bad, which rank ed with many condemned elsewhere by the people,- or declared null by their courts, and which she has since repealed. Instead of in forming their readers of this repeal, and ad vising that what they objected to have ceased to exit, the black-republican papers mislead their readers into the belief that they are still in force and work out the grossest wrongs.— They overlook all the objectionable laws which immediately concern them, and those in other States and Territories of a kindred charac ter, and open their batteries upon those in Kansas, and attempt to demolish them, main ly, however, by gross misrepresentation.— Why is this? The answer is at hand. Their whole object is political effect in the free States. They hope by foul misrepresentation to excite their readers to sectional hostility And action, and in the end to dissolve the Union, and establish at the North another confederacy; with a black-republican leader at its head, and all its subordinate positions filled from the same political party. This is the greal - and controlling object in view ; and now sought to be carried out. Their purpose having been clearly developed, the honest and patriotic Union-men who have .been deluded into their ranks are fast leaving them, and joining the democracy. They are not likely to. be again deceived by the cry of `-fbad-lawS' in a - distant Teirktory, uttered by those who enact and submit to unconstitutional ones at home. The clamor of the black-republicans concerning the statutes of a Territory, will not successfully divert the attention of the people from those unjust and unconstitution al acts which they have long been striving to fasten upon the people in the States where they reside.— Washington Union.
