In the case of any legislative arrangement, on the supposition
of its being an unapt one— an arrangement made in error,
— and instructive and thence correspondingly useful as well as
interesting subject matter for ulterior inquiry is— in what
circumstances or combination of circumstances the avior had
its origin and efficient cause: useful namely that against
the prejudice in favour of everything which is established,
any presumption of inaptitude that may happen to be
afforded by its origin may be set as in a balance.
Erroneous or correct, from the form of government
that has place in the mother country— the Nursing
Mother of these States in their infancy, came the conception
of this arrangement, naturally enough. The arrangements
that have place in this region of improved
government have, with very few exceptions had their origin
in the corresponding arrangements that had and have
place in the parent state.
When the new Constitution came to be framed, of all the several
arrangements that had place in the parent state all such as on
specific ground presented themselves to the eyes in question
as unsuitable, were expunged. Of those that were expunged
no sooner had the veil of prejudice been removed than of the
greatest part the unsuitableness was seen to be so manifest
that the spunge was applied to them without hesitation.
