March, and that the term which should have Pfeee- ded it. should be held on the first Monday in April? It s apprahended not. The inconsistency is Palpa- ble The acts of the Legislature, now under con- sideration are equally inconsistent, though moi so apparent.

 It is true that Courts lean to that construction which will give effect to two acs apparently in con fict, and more especially if both be passed at the same session ofthe Legslatarej but they win not suspend the operation of act to future period to give effect to another.

 There is a clear distinction between the two acts, now under consideration and those adjudicated in the cases cited al be bar and particularly that of Mcfarland ys the State Bank.

 No one can be blamed, however, except the mem bers from this county It was their special duty to guard the interest of the county-no one else was expected to do it. They were elected for that pur pose.

 We are disposed to act charitaby toward them' and make all due allowance for accidents and mis- takes But we are satisfied of this fact-IIad this county sent Democrats to the Legislature, and had they committed such ablunder, there would have been no end of the abuse the whigs would have heaped upon them for it--and in all likelihood our present worthy whig members would have taken hand init
