315 of the government heretofore elective, are they -whose powers have been most curtailed, and conduct most severely arraigned. It is a strange compliment to the representatives of the peo- ple, and through them to the capacity of the people to choose their representatives to put a constitutional veto upon any appropriation of public money over an hundred dollars. We mean by a constitutional veto, such a veto as the Executive now wields, to-wit, the requisition of a majority of the whole numbe...r elected to pass a law. They have made the judges and clerks elective by the people, but they have shown, in both instances, that they have no confidence in their capacity to . choose either. They send the people to the courts for a certificate of the qualifications of a clerk, thereby demonstrat- ing their sense of the truth, that the courts who have now the appointment of clerks are not only the best, but the only proper judges of the necessary qualifications. They give to the people the election of judges, but they limit their choice to a particular profession, thereby, again demonstrating that in their sense the people whom they flatter so much, if left free upon the subject, would wander wide of the track.
