The legislature is her supreme instrument and rton e of the power to elect Senators. It is the creature of the Constitution, which . is the chart of its power, vexted only in two 1 co-ordinate branches; a quorum o'f twoiL: 1. t mi L. : 1 niru oi me mem oers is reouisiie 10 irive ... , . ... . eitncr o lcral entity ; each is equivalent in power, witii an absolute veto on the power I 1 . i ot the other. i J oe igisianm is a corporation acrure gite. with only such power as its creator has seen fit to endow it with to be exorcise 1 in conformity to the laws of its birth. To the ioint wisdom and counsel of these college is the legislative power entrusted, It is not parceled out to its component ele ments in intergrals, uuither h it vested in an amalgamated body of the two.
