Tn reply to thezaboge application for information respecting the non-distribu- ton of the Journals of the last session of the Legislature, we are compelled to &C., knowledge that we are entirely ignorant of the motives which influence the Exec utiye depaitmen in withholding them from tue representatives of the people. Early jn July last, the Journals were delivered by us to the Secretary of the Territory. The law directed by whom and in what manner they were to be distributed--tlleir distribution did not devoIve upon us, but on the Executive officers of our govern ment. Il is possible that .he Governor Is apprebensye that their distribution might produce an effect on the public mind un- favorable to his present great popularity, and has therefore determined to nullify the law directing thcir general dstribu- tion, and exercise his own discretion in sending .feo copies to his particu,or Friends
