    You have increased in property, in numbers, and in j strength ; these give you a moral weight which carries you forward with an accelerated motion. Education has arrived to a state of excellence amongst those of you who are blessed with the means of obtaining it, and is united with a pure and sound morality.

A momentary cloud has overcast the legislature; a bad spirit has breathed on their councils. Some of those who lead in the Senate have adopted a false maxim, others
