He was glad to re--echo the allusions in the speech to the prosperity of the country which he attributed to the energy of the people and to Divine providence. There was a time when partiality allied to power im-- peded the progress of the country,a state of things which would even Justify rebellion. What was now wanted was a paternal legislation. The municipal laws were im-- perfect and required revision. At present they were paralyzed by debt. But there was not a word of this in the speech. No-- body could object to the proposal for the extension of our common schools. Another matter which required legislation was not mentioned in thespeech, and that was with relat}op to the power of Assessors in the municipalities of the townships. 'These men bhad great power in their hands, and should be men of honesty and reliability, but legislation was needed to secure this.
