Mr.. Pleasants,
I was much please l to s*e a piece
in vour u-.efuUp.p-r the other day, fr<« n
a Citizen of Goochland, on the subject of
the boatmen; who run the river above the
falls, lie justly observes there is uo suo*
ject of a locil nature which calls more
loudly for legislative interference than this.
The robberies and depredations which
these miscreants, both white ami black
commit above the falls are almost IncredU
ble. They steal and plunder but every
thing they can lay their hands on •, and I
am sorry to say they find a ready market
j for their stolen produce in your basin and
canal. It will be a moderate calculation
to sty that, one year with another, they
steal a thousand barrels of corn and two or
tin -:e thousand bushels of wheat; and as
to the des ruction aroo g the fowls, stock,,
locust postal and fence rails, it is tncilcu..
table. But the mischief does not rest with
the boatmen, for by their baneful exnmp e,
tho sltves are corrupted to a considerable
! distance on eac.i side of the river, and con_
sequent!)' beco ns infinitely more ih.evisil
than they would otherw.se he. It will
probably be said that this account is ex .g„
gerated, but let the members of the h-nor*
able asseinoly consul: any gautlernin who
lives on the river, and they will fi,»d wnat
is above stated to be literally true
It is the opinion of tho36 people who live
on the river that there is out oneway to cut
up theev 1 by the root, and that is, for the le
! Kisla'ure to pass a law by which each boat
shall be compelled to have a bill of la tug, '
certified by tii- person or persons who ship
the property ; an 1 to .ppnnt an insp-c. r i
of boats in K chmoad, whose, jurisdiction
shall extend fro n the ’nasi» to he locks, j
and whose duty it shall be to ex mine the |
respond with IhtrbHl of lading \ and if t >«y
d > not, to in& ci proper pari sh ,ncni on the j
culprits.
Ii ;s probab’e there are a thiusand boats ,
which navigate the river above the fal;s ;
lei the legislature lay a tax of one dollar
on each boat, wh.ch will be an ample c nn
peimtion for the inspector, and, (ii niCcs.
s iryl his ass slants.
i'hi« is a business of deep concern to a
respectable p irt of the community, and it \
is presumed the hon >ruble leg-.sl tture cm.
not lake it up too soon, or act on it w tb too !
much promptitude. ji, n,

Thursday, Jai. 11, i8IO.
The commioee to whom was referred
thecommuntG ifton of the governor of Pepn- 1
svlv in.a, cove^lRg certain resolutions yf the
legislature ofbli^t *state, proposing an a
•ncidment to he constitution of ilv* United
States, by ih ■ appointment of an impartial ]
tribunal to decide d sputos between m«
state and federal judiciary, hive had the
same under their cons'dr rati on, and are of i
opinion that a tribunal is already provided :
by the constitution of the United States, to '
wit, the supreme court, more eminently
qualified from their habits & duties_from !
tuc mode of their selection,* and from t.ie j
tenure of their offices to decide the disputes •
aforesaid io an enlightened and in parti d !
m nntr thin any other tribunal which could |
be created.
The m> mhers of the supreme court are
srlected from those n the United Slates
who are most celebrated f >r vir.ue and le
gal learning, wot at the w il of a single in.
dividual, bur by tha concurrent wishes of
Jbe President and Senate of the United
Slates, tJjigY wdl therefore have no local
prejudices Jtnd partialities. The duties
they have tpjperform leads them necessa.
l ily to the most enlarged an l accurate ac
quaintance with the jursd ct:o.i of the Ft;d
Wf — 1 v* «**«*v^ U .um IW^LUICI j
and with the admirable symmetry of our
government. The tenure of ih :ir offi
ces enables 'hem to pronounce the sound
and correct opinions they may have form,
ed, without tear, favor or partiality.
The amendment to the cons’.itmion pro.
posed by Pennsylvania see ns to iie founded
lipoi the idei th it the federal ju liciary
wifi, from a lust of power, enlarge their
jurisdiction to the total annih lation of the
jurisdiction of the state courts, that they
will exercise their will instead of the law
and the constitution.
Phis argument if it proves any thing
would operate mare strongly .igtinst tne
tribunal proposed to be created which pro.
mises so little, than against the supreme
court, which <yr the re isons given before,
have ev-*ry thing connected wi.h thair ap
pointment calculated to ensur** confidence.
What security have we, were the proposed
amendment adopted, that this tribunal
would not substitute their will and their
pleasure in place of ihe law ? Tn .* jud ci
ary are the weakest of the three depart.
menU of government, and leas* d mgerous
to the political rights of the constitution—
they hold neither Cite purs; nor the sword,
and even to enforce their own judgments
and decrees must ultimately depend upon
fhe executive arm. Should the federal
judiciary however, unmindtul of their weak
ness, unmindful of the duty winch th^y
o#e to themselves and their c wintry, be
come corrupt and transcend the limits of
their juried ction —would the proposed a.
mendment oppose even a probable birrier
in such ao udiprobable state of thing* f
1 lie r.rrati^^l a tribunal such as is pro
posed by Pennsjflvaoia, so tar as wc are
enabled to form nr. idea of it from (he des
cription given in the ttraolutions of the le.
gisinture of that state, would in the opini
on of your committee, tend ratner to invite
ib*n prevent a col'isioa between tne fed
eraf and state Courts. It might also oe.
come in process of time, a serious and
dangerous embarrassment to t ie operation*
of tne general g wrm,nent—
Resolved there ore, Tjtu the l**glslatur
bf this state do disapprove of the amend. I

proposed by the k-gislV.a’-e of Prnnsylva.
