At one "fell swoop," the practice of our Courts, which was! imported into this country from | England, and xvInch Uas been band-j ed down from early colonial daysj iias been cut off, and instead, wej have the New York practice trans-; planted bodily, an.l engrafted .into! the old stock of Soivth Carolina j law. The attempt would saeni to! boas absurd as that which the lio-< avian poet ridicules of joining a; *0\npafl'Q fn o linnvui It mill 99 I Jiicutn icneatis amm ? Tliese new doctors of the law liave attempted n feat which con-1 travenes every natural -law, and; mocks a'fl power of assimilation. As soon attempt to nnite oil and - water, as join together two systems of law necessarily artificial, w'liicli liave grown up under different cir-j 'cumetauces, and arc adapted toj diverse feeling's, habits an J customs, j ^Jlere tliore Las been no attempt' even at assimilation. The skill of the framera was unequal to llioi 'taelc. "Whatever thev niav have known of New York law, they ' were totally ignorant of South1 'Carolina law. Hence the first con- i -dition of success was wanting.! 'The attempt, is not less absurd | thau that of a foreiguer who should i anake innovations in the body ofj our language, of which lie knows!1 nothing?of a Frenchman who' 1 should supplement Webster's Dic-j, tionnry by engrafting the latest jj Gallic idioms. jj But even if the requisite skill', and learning liad not been wanting, the change was too sudden, the rc- < form was too complete and revolutionary, to effect any useful pur-p pose, ljaws are I lie growth ol 1 time, and here especially in rclorm- J ing, we should according to Lord Bacon, follow the example of "time which iunovateth gently." Ilerc, however, the chauiz-e has come ' 0 < upon via like some vulcanic erup- ( tion or eoine overflowing flood j, which has destroyed the old land- j marks, and involve whatever we't hold most <5car, in one seething vcr-11 tex. 11 The Legislative changes "which < have of late been introduced iutoji our laws au-d institutions 6ccm tOj' have arisen either from a ect pur- j5 pose to obliterate the Carolina otV the past, or from an overweening . attachment of an nlieu people forr n their ow? laws aiwl customs, which 1 1 { -they esteem the best, semper, nbique cl omnibus. To the fell spirit which would prompt the first, we , have -nothing to say. To the second we would say, that abstract right is concrete wrong?that J, which may be best for New York ' may be the worst for Soath Caro- i lina.- Tbey who legislate for a j people must be. one of thein?to know their habits?to be cognizant of thueir wants?and above all, to know .lapw far these have. b?en provided for in-the great body, of' t exiting law.
