Cazneau Bayley,
IF we had not Sir, already witneiTed
the wanton profligacy with which
you have perverted lads, and the scan
dalous indifference which you have
shewn to your own reputation, we
should be truly astonished at the attack
you made upon the late Judiciary ad,
" The design of the system which that
aft had introduced, was to ere& a ju
dicial fortrefs within which the routed
federalists might fafely repose, and
from which the triumphant republicans
might be fucceftfully annoyed. The
organization of the system too was
marked with all that male volence could
dictate to provoke resentment, or folly
could exhibit to excite dißgult The
coriditution was either violated or elud
ed ; and the dignity of the Chief Mag
istracy, together with the ordinary
maxims of personal decorum lay pros
trate ;. whilst commiflion, were issued
to transfer judges from one Court to
another without their previous consent
or privity; whilst Senators Were appoint
ed to fill fuppofitious vacancies in judi
cial offices ; and while the tranquility of
the midnight hour was invaded to rivet
the lad fetter upon a riva j administra
tion." If I did not apprehend that
you were loft to all sense of Shame, I
should hope by controlling your own
sentiments on another occasion with
those just quoted, to excite in you some
of those emotions which fink to the
ground the detected culprit, who is not
yet arrived at that state of hardened
profligacy, which enables him to turn
1.3 b^k -u oi.ee & the good opinion
of the world.
Although I fliall not flatter myfelf
that an ex pofure of your contradictions,
will be attended with any salutary ef
fect upon yourfelf, it may not be use
less as refpeds the community. How
then, Sir, do you juftify holding two
opinions on the fame fubjed, in the
face of the fame public, in the course
of a very few months, directly at vari
ance with each other ? A man may, un
doubtedly, change his mind, but when
he does so in a matter on which he has
already declared liimfelf before the
world, a respect for that, as well as for
himfelf, demands that he should assign
his reasons. You have not condescend
ed to do this ; the inference is, that
your opinions are like some convenient
wares, which when they have ^ufwered
one purpose, can very readily be con
verted into another ; I dare fay you
underhand the traffic and have pronto
ed by your knowledge. It is other
wise inconceivable how you Ihould de
liberately and anxhu/ly pray for a con
tinuance of this " terrific fortrefs" from
which the triumphant republicans were
to be so fuccefsfully annoyed. What,
Sir, are we to think of a man who can
seriously desire, that a system marked
with malevolence and folly even to dis
gust, Ihould be upheld, in a country
boasting of its freedom ? In what esti
mation are we to hold a man's patri
otism, who will use his influence to
maintain a fyflem built upon the prof
traced dignity of government, of per
sonal decorum, and a violated constitu
tion ? In what light are we to confider
him who can even wilh to fee the pro
duce of such midnight indecencies as
you have described prolonged ? What
species of morals mud he poffcfs, who,
at one time remonstrates against the
abolition of the late Judiciary fyliem,
because the abolition would be “ a great
public inconvenience," and at another
time declares, that the repeal of the
aft creating it was the " indijpenjable me
dium to vindicate and preserve the efence
and theory ofcur government ?" Can any
one hesitate as to the answers that
ought to be given to these enquiries ?
I think no one will be hardy enoughs
to deny, that such a man can neither
have a pure heart, or upright views.—
Yet of all this, Sir, are you guilty ; the
charge as I (hall thew, is fattened up
on you beyond rhe power of escape.—
Permit me to refrdhen your own mem
ory and that of your " Pennsylvania
Republicans, by recurring to a Me
morial presented to Congress last win
ter by the bar of Philadelphia, and

LETTER V.
Thus, Sir, you have at one view
your picture in I'ebiuary lad, and now
in October; how charmingly the 1 ke
netfes agree ! In one reipea however,
they are equally chatacteiitic, for they
alike proclaim a charter without
principle ; a man who has let even
consistency at defiance. Will the " Re
publicans of Penruv!vania" end a pa
tient ear to the words of a man who
(lands convicted under his own hand
of deliberate fdfehood ? Let them ex
amine the " Memorial" and the “ Ad
dress," and they'will be convinced that
the two things cannot Hand together ;
to which ever of them they may choose
to yield their belief, the result will be
alike dishonorable to ypu.

LETTER VI.
I have so frequently Sir, been under
the necessity of correcting yourmiftakes
and pointing out your departures from
truth, that I cease to wonder either at
their nature or extent. I Ihould other
wise find it difficult to restrain my as
tonishment at the terms in which you
speak of the repeal of the Judiciary sys
tem.
“ In a country, whose population is
but in the germ ; whose resources of
Agriculture, commerce, arts, and man
ufactures, are incalculable ; and whose
intercourse with the distant regions of
the world expands at every gale ; it
has been contended, in effect, that a le
gislative arrangement of the courts ofjuftice,
once made, is immutable ; auf can neither
be modified to conform to enc? efing exigen
cies ; nor be amended to correct the errors,
which experience Jhall dete&."
And pray, Sir, what has the resour
ces, agriculture, commerce, arts and
manufactures of the country, and its
foreign intercourse upon the expanding
gale, to do with a conliirational question
as to the power of the Legislature ?
Whether these are calculable or incal
culable will not assist or retard a so
lution. You have here indulged your
felf in a ridiculous fburifh scarcely be
coming a schoolboy, but certainly dif
graceful to a man of matured years.
Difmiffmg your introduction then let
us com^ to the principal matter. And
here again, Sir, you are wofully defi
cient in accuracy ; you cannot be ig
norant of the groifnels of the falshood
when you assert, that on the part of the
Federalists it was contended that “ a
legiflativearraagement of the courtsof
justice once made is immutable." Part
practice on that Subject, at once refutes
the proposition: the Judiciary system,
iwas matter of experiment, it had un
dergone various legislative alterations,
and had been modified according to ex
igencies so as to correct the errors fitg
gefted by experience. No man either
in or out of Congress with one giain of
understanding, ever denied to the Le
gislature of the Union this power, it had
been constantly exercised without hav
ing been even drawn into queflion.

The objed of it was to prevent the re

here described as being enacted in Pan

the curses of Pandora's box. Read and

" she members of the bar of Phila
delphia unanimously concur in testifying
the sense they entertain of the gieat ü

gentlemen, who, at present, fill the of

®Kaa&, anti
How unworthyten is the attempt in
you, to hide fron ^e people the great
constitutional poh for which the Fed
eralists contended : This was, not the
immutability ofCihs, but that Judges
by the tenure of teir offices, in the
very words of tl Constitution, held
them “ during § G behaviour," and
not during the pl sure of the Legisla
ture. I fear not > challenge you to
deny the corrednaof this opinion, and
if you will deign tloppofe it by any
thing like argumen 1 pledge myfelf
to prove that in tL refpecl, you are
undeserving the prciffional reputation
to which you may oLrwife be entitled.
Your total mifrepre lstation indeed of
the doctrine advocall by the federal
members in Congreq betrays beyond
the want of confirmatpn your own con
viction of its reditudd: hence die ne
cedity of imputing to! them principles
which they never held) It is a pitiful
artifice ; but without qfonNg to this
kind of fineffe, it would be difficult for
you to manufacture an aadrefs which
should approach to tiny thing like the
necefary fever heat.
As a part of this 1 p,n, you have
thought proper to array the judges in
hostility against the people, and to rep
resent the question of repeal as a mere
content, whether the “ personal inter
ests" of the former should preponderate
over the “ nationalinterelis" of the lat
ter. '" Combining therefore the rfulc
of these pofrions with the,authority ex^
ercifed by the courts to deermine the
validity of all afts of Congress, and the
federal claims of a common law juris
diction in criminal cases, it is obvious
that something more interesting than
the mere repeal of an obnoxious datute
was at flake.?' I appeal to you, Sir,
as a lawyer, whether it is not only the
right but the dwy of the federal courts
to determine upon the validity of ads
of Congress ? Who are to pronounce
the law of the land ? —Are not the
judges set apart for that express pur
pole ? It is really menhrous to hear a
man talking in this manner, whose con
science and understanding mull re
proach him with his baseness. “ Ihe
common law too does not belong to
federal jurifdidion, at least in criminal
cafes" : from this, I presume you mean
to admit that it does in civil. Now,
Sir, will you have the goodness to ex
plain yourfelf, and to Shew me why it
is lawful to resort to the con mon law
in one case, and not in the other? I pre
sume you would find it difficult so as
sign any reason for this dittinftion, un
less it be founded in the natural aver
sion which democrats feel toevery thing
like criminal prosecutions, and a conse
quent desire to narrow the powers of
our tribunals on that fubjeft.
You/ complain of it as a " federal
misrepresentation" that “ the provision
for the extinguishment of the public
debt has been called artful and insin
cere." What is the fad upon this fub
jed ? At the last session of Congress, a
law was passed under the imposing title
of an aft to extinguith the public debt.
Now, republicans of Pennsylvania, at
tend to the manner in which this was
to be effected: no otherwise than by
reloaning the instalments of the debt as
they became due ; that is, simply pay
ing off one debt, by creating another
of the amount. This plain Statement
cannot be misunderstood ; no capacity
can be so weak as not to comprehend
it, and yet this is what the present gov
ernment has impudently stiled a “ pro
vision for the extinguishment of the
public debt." And because this at
tempt to impose upon the community
by a mere display of words, ha^ been
called artful and insincere, you, Sir,
following the modest example of our
rulers, have called it a " federal mis
representation." It happens however,
to be in Arid conformity with the truth,
and herein we fee a material difference
between federal and democratic mis
representation!
Permit me now, Sit, to bring these
letters to a'clofe; ^ want of time pro
hibits anr QQer rotice of your memo
rable " idaft^" I regret that lam
obliged to difmtf>rcVyith so hasty add
imperfect an examination ; for there is
scarcely a line which it contains that
would not afford a text for fruitful,and
as ref,eels the public, I trust not un
profitable comment. When I under
took the talk I am about compleating,
I was not aware of the near approach
