have seen this Court, not only shutting its
own eyes against circumstances and badges
of fraud, existing up m the face of all the
documents referred to in the fileadings of
the case, and disclaiming a judicial know
ledge of facts and events, so public and no
torious, as to have become a part of the
History of our Country, but also itself m>ti
gating, (so »■. r<> operate in favor of the de>
fondant J /in Peck.) the already mitigated
pleading! of the parties, by affecting, {inter
alia,) tocr.adder that as done by the ** s.u
preme sovereign power of the state*’ of
Georgia, which, in truth was only the acr
of its/im/lrd and corrupt legisl ature ! : We
have seen that courr excuse a purchaser from
taking notice, at his peril,—not of a “ d*s
taut glimpse or g'imVncring ot a fraud,” i
which might create a small degree <>f suspi- '
cion,—not of a matter barely .competent ** to I
put a party upon an enquiry,”—— tot of j
a slight hitching place; merely sufn oent to
•* hang a doubt upon,*’ respecting me fair-;
ness of the title; but we have seen it all ;
solve him, from the knowledge of a binge of:
circumstances and badges of fraud, intrin-l
sic and extraneous, strong enough to make j
an eagle blench, and to banish from the [
verge of a court of justice, any man jn A !
mertca, except the well trained syntagonist
of the red mbtable John Peck, *• one of the
principal owre s of.land, under the Geor.
gia act of 7 Jan 179J” : And to crown the
whole, wfc have seen that court become a
proselyte, to the doctrine of the omnipotence
of a state legislature, in a case of unparral" I
Jelled atrocity ; that v«ry Court, which has,
heretofore, only bsen restrained, by a salu
tary amendment to the constitution, from ad
judging the States themselves to be mere
corporations ! !
When such decisions and principles of de- !
cision are adopted by this high, tribunal :
’when such plain and palpabl • gronnds of
decision as I have endeavored to detail are
utterly overlooked and disregarded,—Can
we forbear exclaiming, with 'be immortal
Shakspcare, that where the just powers of
the Court “ do not extend, thither they dart
them” l What the object and motives of the
Court may have been I presume not to say:
i»et those who have traced the conduct of
that tribunal, from the heglnnirg, and seen
it become a great political^odv in our Coun
try, equally irresponsible to the people, and
disposed to embarrass every republican ad_
ministration, answer the question.
True to the watch word^f the Supreme
Court, the renowned Mr. Peck has affected to
consider in his manifesto, that that court has
decided "all the points in favor of theGeor
gia grants” (a) including that of the vali-.
dity of the act of 1795 as relative to the ori
ginal parties. It is true, as I have already
contended, that the court, in the wide range
taken in delivering its opinion, has given too
much colour tor this idea: hut it is equally
true, that they had not only, before, dit_
claimed, in the same opinion, an intention
of intermeddling with this point, on the
ground of its leading to indecent disclosures,
but that also, in winding up its opinion, the
court seems to'nave cotifinedji, to the ground
of being a purchase for a valuable conside
ration, without notice (b). I am therefore
for permitting that court the liberty to cor*
rset this extrajudicial error, hereafter, if
ever the state of Georgia, or the U. States,
or those who claim wilder them, shall be du
ly convented before it, with liberty to con
test the point in question by counsel, and
to exhibit to the court, (in the pleadings,
if you please,) the masculine and gigantic
facts of this case, instead of that stunted and
dwarfish statement, which Mr. Peck
his associate, have been pleased to exhi
bit.
1 his decision, tnerefcry,' however excep
tinnabie & extraordinary it is, in most of its
aspects, is not, Mr. Peck. „Ap as clinch
ing and conclusive as you affi ct u> consider
it. It is only an authority in a case as strong
and no stronger than itself; and ihe Su
preme court may yet explain or retract, an
improvident and extrajudicial dictum,
which occurred in the wide range taken in
delivering its opinion.
Viewing the act of January 1795 as :-n
con ract, I am far from thinking that its
Cognizance does not properly appertain to
the judiciary department. I think this as
Well in relation to annulling it. as enforcing ]
it: In the la»t idea, 1 am supported bv the opi
nion of the Supieme court; but that tribu
nal has presented this anomaly to the judi
cial world ;-that not onlv the same court
■wlrich enjorers contracts, is incor.ijirten: to
T/atate them ! but also that no flower in the
government is competent to the latter func
tligi ! • The enforcement and vacating of
conttacts, properly belongs to 'he judiciary, 1
and,where its means are competent to en_ i
force it^. judgments, and no aid of ihe le. j
gi statute-is necessary* the power of that bo- :
dy is final anti conclusive. 'This criterion, '
perhaps, properly limiis (in general) the
boinidariea of judicial power : but there may
be ulterior cases, in which the courts may '
be property Call* d to decide, and the aid of |
the legislature bq. yet necessary, to carry
Ohe decisions dhto execution. These case?,
W would seem, are highly congenial to our
climate, and are ^1 rapid cC gigantic growth
ih our country. It is to he feared, that the
love of power mV.y, in some instances,“have
induced the judiciary to- invade the province
of the other departments, and to act upon
subjects not of a judicial nature. In-sueb
eases. I humbly conceive; the legislature has
the same discretion to pause, and refuse its
aid, as in the case of treaties. In any o
ther point of view, the legislature would be.
•o.ne entirely subordinate to the judiciary.
In all just and honest cases oi the above des
cription, the aid of the legislature will be
ifheerfiilly and promptly afforded : to doubt
this, will be to disparage the justice fpld vir
tue of our countrymen : but the judiciayy
cannot reasonably expect the aid of the It
gislature, (for example,) toenabie it to car
ry into execution, a contract engendered in
corruptiort, and reprobated by the voice of
hvery honest man m the nation. It behoves
th • judiciary to weigh well the consequences
of such a state of things, in relation to
the case before us: for although that body j

1 have thus taken the liberty to state, to
nty lellow-ciiiaeus, in a desultory way,
ffontf of my view., of the ordinary grounds,
on which the case in question seems t<* de
pend. 1 have only touched upon the ordina
ry grounds, because they alone are, in my
judgment, entirely.adequate tothe end pro
j posed, and because, being of a technical and j
'professional nature, they are hidden from
| the view of the mass of our people. It is i
only on this last ground, that the astonish.!
ing silence of the Press can oe accounted i
tor, on a subject which, (notwithstanding
that circumstance,) has cie tted no ordina
| ry degree of sensation.
As to the extraordinary views, of which
j this subject is susceptible’ I do not presume j
to meddle with them. They are submitted
} to the superior judgment and discernment
j of the statesmen and p iliticians of our conn
try. I have discovered no disposition in this
class of our citizens, to refuse to the judici
ary the just exercise of its proper function*.
1 If, on ihe contrary, that department has in
t dulgdd itself in novel and gigantic projects
and schemes of power, wholly unprecedent
ed in that country from whence our judicial
systems have been taken ; if it shall even
aspire so high, as to claim to become a/19
litical body, anti to check, control and em
barrass the operations of the government,
j it caunoi expect that such proceedings wall
be tamely submitted to. The people of A
merica, hostile to every kind of usurpation,
are under no obligation to submit to the in
vasions of the judiciary.

• BRITISH PAPER MONEY
The “ Bullion Committee "of the House cf
Commons have drawn a distressing Picture-’of
the effects of a redundant circulation of paper
upon the price of specie and bullion-, and the
rate of Exchange—Since the year 17P7, when
the Bank of England was authorised to suspend
its cash pay ments, the price of fcomnmdities has
gradually risen and along with them the price of
bullion-and a fall lias taken place in the rate
of Exchange.—Paper being n<> *onger convertible
into specie at pleasure* the Bank has bad no in
ducrmenl to adapt the quantity of its paper me*
dmm to the demand —The remedy which the
Coinmit'ee propose for thes * embarrassments, is
to • do away the statutes which have continued
the restriction-to bring back the Bank to
the original principle of cash payments—allow,
mg it two years to make its precautionary ar
rangements 0^ Extracts from this able and e
laborate Report in our next.
Times are a litttle altered in G. Britain since
the following statement was penned by Ed
mund Burke “ They (the French revolutionists)
forgot that in England, not one shilling of paper
mone>, of any description, is received hu*. of
choice-, that the whole had its origin in cash ac
tually deposited, and without the smallest loss,
may be converted into cash again Our paper is of
! value in commerce, because inland it is of none. It
i is powerful on 'Chttnge, because in Westminster
Hall it is impotent. In payment of a debt of 20
J shilling?, * creditor may refuse all the paper of
\ thc bank of England Nor is there among us a
. Single public security, of any quality or nature
; whatsoever, that is enforced by authority In
1 fact it may he eas iy shewn, vfiat our p iper
wealth, instead of lessening the real coin, has a
tendency to increase it ; instead of being a substi
tute for money, a onl» facilitates iis entry, its

FOR THE F.h'QUIR F.R. . -,
Mr. Ed * Top.. - -It is re&llv deplornbfs'to
observe the little credit that seems to begi
i veo to newspapers in this country generally.
It would he worthy of enquiry, /toss they
•fcave become ,hus degraded in the eyes of
the public—Has it really been from a want
pf character in the Editors of papers, from
the rage of contending parties, from the im
positions 'd knaves and the creduli<y of
dufxes, or from the artful influence of de
signing men in power f It fs recollected,
sir, that when the Honorable John Randolph
fits* discovered symptoms of a desertion of
the American cause, and of attachment to
the British views and interests, one of the
first steps which he took, was to abuse the
licentiousness of the press, so as to destroy
the use of free Presses altogether; and
through some means or other, the object has
been atchieved.
The particular circumstance, that has
led me into this train of reflection, is this:
—Some time since, the Aurora charged the
Honorable John Randolph with a direct
breach of Veracity. Some of that honora,
ble gentleman’s friends were inquisitive to
know, upon what grounds he had been thus
charged. You published the anecdote, which
bore every appearance of irnth. Yet nei
ther he nov his ft ten Is appear toreg*rd the
charge. ()n^ and all, they shrug up their
shoulders and cry out, " abuse ;
the mere slander of lying Kdttors. Sec.” If,
sir, there is not some means tak m to cor*
rect this procedure, the liberty of the Press
will be of little avail in the United States.
Y.»u, Mr. Kditor, see the evil, and I hope
will use your best endeavors to put a stop
to it.

From a .Yciv York Fafter.
Ti e following article is published for che
information of the friends of th* unfortu
nate victims of British n ival rapacity. \Ve I
understand it is conied from a Journal k pt !
onboard the brig Fredonia, Captain Adams, i
arrived here from Dublin the 1st ins:
“ September8. in 1 it 43, long. 47\ »he
Fredtmia was boarded by the British frigate
Meiampus, Contain Hanker, woo detained
the Fredonia five hours, compelled every
mule, cabin and steerage, passenger, except
four, to goon board the frigate, and impress
ed eleven, whose names, occupations and
ages are as follow:-—Samuel Little, far.!
nier, 29; John Fearburn, a child, coming
to this country to reside with his uncle ;
James SmluiT. farrier. 22 ; Charles Kuley.
clerk, 24 ; Daniel Ledg.-r. 20 ; Thomas
Fitzpatrick, 24; William Ballard. 26 ; Pt ■
ter Fl.no, 20; riionas Kinsela, 26 ; MuJ
thew Kinsela, 20; John Raitev. i boy. :_!
All ot whom were examined at the d'fFer_
ent offices in Dublin, and allowed to depart
from their country
“ The officer that boarded the Fredonia de
manded of captain Adams 35 guineas, al_
ledg.ng he would receive that sum for pas
sage money, paid by the passengers impres
sed. Tuis demand captain A iciVe.l, as i
he only f >und -hepassengers ship room, and
they all furnished their own stores. Those !
servants of tyranny, after behaving with this j
insolence, departed with their prey.”
It is customary, in conn of Gu'ldfia!!.
in England, for a pick .pocket or sh .p .11 >er.
to beg as a favor of th * judge, that he would
let him serve Ins mijesty in 'he navy, in
stead of being transported or pilloried._
Sometimes, the court itself proposes this :
honorable alternative to the culprit. We
see insiances of 'his sort in the trials at
Guildhall on the 8'h of August. As aeon
temporary print observes on a similar case,
thousands of our own countr< men are con
signed to the same punishment, which a
waits the English culprits ; without the
perpetration of a single crime and doomed '
to “ drag ou- perhaps the remainder of their
existence amidst thieves and murderers”_
“ i» the community of vulgar vice and base
born profligacy.”
