of the people, for his efforts to arrest somo
of the inauy bad acts of the present Lcgis-

has been our unpleasant duty in the past,
to condemn Oovcrnor Packer's course'in
some particulars j but wo aro nevertheless
free to do him justice, and we therefore
say, without hesitation, that the positions
taken in his last annual Mcssac and the

whole responsibility of forcing a batch of

of his authority, havo deliberately assumed
that responsibility.
Self-iutcrest, and a total disregard of the
public wants and wishes, appear to have
governed all the acts of the present Legis

conscious that their power is destined to bo
taken from them at the next election, and
that many of them will never bo returned
to their teats, havo determined to make
tho most of tho opportunity they now pos
