And it is the duty of the Judiciary, honestly. intelligently and impartially, to Air-ni-h the Legislature with such hints relative to the existing laws, and the nei-d.-of the Territory, its they may deem e.ential, without nece?arily eiulnidying all the acrimonious ami partian bitternes.s which character-izol character-izol the memorial of the famous army of twenty-six a memorial, by the by, which .should have been reserved for and presented to the next Territorial Legislature.
