t. That the law is unrieteffary and improper,
and was so at its passage ; and
2. 1 hat the Courts and judges created by it,
can and ought to be abolished;
Ift. That the aft tinder conlideratlon, was tin
neceffary and improper, is, to my mind, no diffi
cult talk to prove. No increase of cotifrts or judg
es were incompetent to the prompt and proper
difebarge of the duties consigned to them. Tn
hold out a Shew of litigatibn, When in tact little
exills, mod be impolitic ; and to multiply expen
live fyftenis, and create holts of expensive officers,
without having experienced an actual necessity
for them, rhuft be a Wanton Wade of the public
treafute.
The document before us thews, that at the pas
sage of this aft, the exiting courts, not only Iront
their number, but from the suits depending before
them, were fully competent to a Speedy decilion
of those fuits—lt ffiews, that on the 15th day of
June lad; there were depending in all the Circuit:
Courts (that of Maryland only excepted, whose
docket we have not been fornifhed with,) 153,
suits. It (hews that 8276 suits of every descrip
tion have come before those courts, in to years
and upwards. From this it appears, that the an
nual average amount of suits has been about 8oo„
But sundry contingent things have conspired to
swell the circuit court dockets. In Maryland,
Virginia, and in all the southern and fomh-wett
ern dates, a great number of suits have been bro't
by British creditors : this species of controversy is
nearly at an end.
In Penufylvania, the docket has been swelled b,
prosecutions in consequence of the Weflern in
furrertion, by the disturbances In Bucks & North
ampton ; and by the Sedition Aft. These 1 find
amount in this state to 240 fuits.<
In Kentucky, non-relident land claimants have!
gone into the Federal Court from a temporary
Convenience ; because, until within a year or tud
pad, there existed no court of general jurifdiftion
to-extensive with the whole State. I find too,
that of the fix hundred and odd suits which have
been commenced there, 196 of them h.ve been
profecutious under the laws of the United States.
In most of tbe States there have peen profecu
tioni under the Sedition Act. This source of lit
igation is 1 ttuft forever dried tip.—And laftiv in
all the States a number of suits bave arifeu under
the excite la„ w hich fouke of coWoverfy will.
Mr. Brackenridge. It will be expected of me,
I presume, lir, as i introduced the resolution now
under consideration, to assign my reasons for wish
ing a repeal of this law. This 1 Shall do ; and
fliall endeavor to (hew,
Senate of tbe United States.
