We have been asked several times this
winter what our legislature was doing,
but we have all along evaded answering
these questions BY saying that in few
days they should see, but we can withhold
40 longer, for they have done nothing, they
are doing nothing, and is very likely they
will remain there few weeks longer lis,
tening to fewjack-leg lawyers who have
kept the house in confusion by spou,ing a.
way for the space of half day at time
upon some subject of no importance what
ever to the people. The fact IS the Treas
urer said there was or would be in short
time pretty considerable quantity of
money in the Treasury, and they are de.
termined to hang on until they get the last
dime in the treasury and then come home
and tell US that they have accomplished
great things, when the fact is they have
done nothing but drain our treasury, and
we believe that is the sole object thew
aimed at from the first.
