We would throw oat tome suggestions at leaat^ (or public eon aidersti?a.

II VHOU1U QUI) UV iVI IMIVUkVIJ IViVU that a corrupt or party legislature might enact, for aach a legislature might designate the moat lioniroLls actions a man might commit as felony, Those disfranchisements should not be subject to removal by the Governor's pardon. The rogues and scoundrels of the State could not then be enlisted to support a governor who would pardon thorn, to reetor? their civil rights. We slso think there should be distinct approval ex pressed of the realljr good reforms introduced in the constitution and laws of ths State since reconstruction, and alao a decided con demnation of tome special acta and innovations upon the laws of the Stste that are oppressive and injurious. There should be id amendment of the Constitution of the State making the members of the Legiela curt; iiitriifeiuic tui u?c j*m 10 ??'/ v tier created during their term of ssrrioe in the Legislature. Such amendmenta of the Constitution would hardly be opposed by the honest and disinterested voters of the State, and they would test the sincerity of the patriotism profersed by representatives and other public men. The power of the Governor to appoint county offioere generally, should also be clearly taken away by an amendment of the Constitution. It is a source of corruption and influence by which a corrupt Governor can strive to perpetuate his power, and it deprives the people of the right of electing their own county officers, a right, we may say, "inestimable to them, and formidable to tyranta only ;* and this certainly might be vindicated as a republican measure, and would command the support of thoae who ( profess to esteem the right of suffrage so < highly. , i By some such measures as the foregoing, 1 we might hope to enlist the majority of the voters of the State in favor of reforming and . purifying the State Government. , TDK cone COULD BE REPEALED, 1 a There is another question, not at all of a party nature, that ought to be prominently e placed before the people of this Slate before the next election : The repeal of the'Code rrgulatrag the law eourU end practicewhich wee foreed through the Legislature , during the recent reeeion.
