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.

tory, 'Peter Parley's Tales,' &c. -
lt is believed that the above work will be very accepta
ble to the American public. It is the result of years of
toil and labor. assisted in his researches by several scholars
of known ability, and has been got up at a great expense
by the proprietors. No pains have .been spared in the ex
ecution of the Illustrations and Mgpc, which are prepared
expressly for this work. Indeed, al'_ the other historical
writing of Mr. Goodrich, sink into insignificance, when
compared to this, the result of Hs ripei and maturer years.
It is admitted that one linndred dollars could not purchase
the same matter in any other shape, and the publishers
confidently expect, in consideration of the great literary
value of the work, the large sum expended in preparing
it for the press, and the exceedingly moderate price ak
which it is offered, that it will be favorably received by
every lover of good books. Many of our first scholars, di
vines and gentlemen, who have examined the work, have
given it their unqualified approbation and commendation,
which it richly deserves.
