We are entirely ignorant of.the cause. Tu:y have lotijj since been deposited iu the oir.ee c f the Secretary cf State; but laore than half the year has passed cu ay, arid we are still obliged tc tc: :n i'W cur courts, both superior and in-f-r":cr, under the o!d code. It nicy pcssiSIy be that the old Ia;vs &re as r coti as the nexv ores; but as we have raid for thrrr., wc are justly entitled to theiD, ar.d would rationally conclude th-u the rcpreseniatives w!:o made these IjPTn, and who, wc understand deviated from the usual methed of deiiveriiig them, by m d:irg an arrangenei t with an individual, thereby depriving; the ordinary agents of povernutnt cf the exercise cf their farmer prerogative and diry, will be willing, .as the state has lost half their labcr, by tlicir r.etjlrgcncc, in not causing a more speedy distribution, to refund to tha trcasuy, one halt their wages. There b certainly bad, ahd somewhat mysterious mauagement, which requires t xp'ansiion. In all probability nv.n y of the laws will not reach their place ol destitution before the tux; Legislature convenes, and when it des convene, be reptalcd, before they ever have ben acted upcrt. The public ??s likewise ignorant with repurd to the actions of their representatives at the last session, in coRse qiKnce of r ot being able to procure tUe Journals, and at the apptoaching ekctionj are not able to tell v hsthc r they were or were nor well represe nted the last year, by men who again solicit their suffrages. We understand that the workmanship of the Laws and Journals is ridiculous, and it msy be that the distributor, or the late membs. rs are p.shamed cf their offering; hut such as they are, we would b pleased to see them. We are here only 25 miles.from the law manufactory, and seven month have .elapsed since the Legislature met, and we have nzi yst.ht&rd troro them officially. from the JJeiro'.: Gaz.
