Successive Legislatures have attempted to apply a remedy hy the paavaga of 'nlet limiting tho lima within whieh applications of tho character slioold be received Bel the as often repealed suspension of those rules to meet particular eases the only distinguished feat are in whieh was ignorance of the existence of any such rules furnish conclusive evidence that the remedy has proved wholly inadequate end may well auggegt to you the expediency of making it more effectual by the enuetinuut of a general lew upon thu subject Protracted sessions of the Legislature have been attributable in no alight degieu to the introduction and discussion of matters not legitimately within its province Tho appropriate basineas of a Blais Legalature ie to legislate for the people of the 8mm and provide

the annexation of Cebu or the Canadas it may moralise apon the subject of slavery or philosophise the right and daty of national intervention and by doing convert itsell into a rifely Valve for the escape of a darge amount of eloquence morbid philanthropy and wordy patriotism bat it thereby subjects itself to the imputation or squandering time and money which belong to tho people Tho results at

correctness of tha well established maxim that tho principal is net bound by thu act of his agent when he exceeds hia authority You are however your tvs accountable only to' the end it ie not for tho

only legislative body I ever addressed or ever expect to address was marked by its fidelity to' the trust committed to by the devotion of its lima and talents to tha object of which it was convened
