toms are ultimately constituted laws. II is
as much necessary for some characters to
become naturalized to certain laws as for a
southerncr to become climated to a northern
country. Laws should be long tried and
well approved, before they are adopted per-
manently.


Custom is law under probation; and,
when Its just merit is attested, becomes mn-
nicipal. All legislative bodies have con-
formed their enactments better to the neces-
sites and interests Of their constituents
when they made revelation subservient as
the leading element in their codes of juris-
prudence Custom is the harbinger of law,
and introduces, by practical and expert
mental progression, the necessity OF an EN-
bodiment and classification of its utility in
the most recent and improved revision, and
then resolves itself most harmoniously into
the native system to which it was first con-
ducive.


Ii this statement be correct, as far as
practice and experience are concerned, there
is general involvement of character OF
every member composing the great body
polite, provided the laws should not prove
to be wholesome and good; and in such
case, the law being condemned, it must be
repealed, or the trainers will suffer in COM
mon with the adherents evils, four-fold
worse than the just penalties of the law
when they are necessarily executed. By
custom, laws commonly grow into existence
from necessity, and their growth is fostered
by the hand of every man, woman and
child; and every generation grows its own
laws, which strengthen with its strength,
till superseded by second growth. In
this view of the subject, the world at once
becomes a vast and mighty Legislature, and
every inhabitant becomes member of the
magnanimous body, and each the representa-
tive of others, and all constituents, and all
concerned in an enterprise, upon the issues
of which the destiny Of the world is per-
illed. XANTHUs.
