Lawyers

At a Democratie meeting held in Lodi, in this county, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : "Resolved, That we are not the advocates of proscription to any class ; but we firmly believe that the legal profession have too much power in our legislation, and that reducing their number to one in tho Senate and two in the house, would beafair representation and not proscription." The proportion of lawyers in the present Legislatu re we do not know: but we see it intimated in the True Democrat, that of 18 Senators, ten are lawyers. It might be well for the farmers to consider wfiy so many lawyers are sent? One reason is, that the)' are usually better nformed on political matters, and another is that they can draught legislaíive bilis wilh legal precisión and technicality. We suspect lawyers will always be numerous in the Legislature, and will take the lead there, until men can be found in other professions equally well qualified to do legislativo business with legal correctness and accuracy.ft7=A committee of the Pennsylvcnin Legislature have reported on Capital Punishment.
