Edward Williams. Fayette, Sept. 20, 1794.

To the PEOPLE.
HAVING endeavored to shew in my former address to you, that the legislature assumed a power not vested in them by the Constitution, when they passed a resolution on the last day of their session, censuring two of the judges of the court of Appeals for an opinion given by them in the suit, Kenton against M'Connell, it now remains for me to prove that this resolution was not the result of a regard to those who were supposed to be affected by that opinion. In doing this it will be necessary in the first place, to consider the proceedings of the legislature, on the application made to them by the remonstrance (which I have called a petition in my former address to you) which has been published in the Kentucky Gazette, and on the subsequent petition; in the second, to enquire how, or by what means, the claims of those whose interest was likely to be affected by this opinion could be secured, and whether any such attempt was made; and in the third, whether the resolution adopted was likely to produce that effect. Soon after the remonstrance I have spoken of was presented, the following resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives, which with the yeas and nays taken on the question will appear by the journals: "Whereas a late decision of the Court of Appeals is likely to destroy the titles of many persons whose claims are founded on the certificates granted in consideration of settlement, by the Commissioners appointed by virtue of an act of the Virginia assembly passed in the May session 1779, entitled An act for adjusting and settling the titles of claimants to unpatented lands under the present and former government, previous to the establishment of the Commonwealth's land office: By construing the explanatory clause in the 5th section of the said act, declaring, that no family shall be entitled to the allowance granted the settlers by this act, unless they have made a crop of corn in the country, or resided there at least one year, since the time of their settlement, to extend to the two different classes of settlers, who by virtue of the said act became entitled to settlements of 400 acres of land, and the pre-emption of 1000 acres adjoining, not both parts of the declaratory clause, to each class of settlers, but the raising a crop of corn to the settler who for the greater safety had settled himself in a village or township and the residence of 12 months to the actual settler, when the commissioners themselves, as appears by their records, granted certificates to each class of settlers who settled, and either made corn, or resided 12 months. And whereas it will unsettle the titles of all claimants under the commissioners certificates to permit the courts of justice, to enquire into the nature of the services performed by such claimants, after the said commissioners have determined that they were entitled thereby to the quantity of land in the certificate described. And whereas, even, if the general expressions of the law were uncertain on this subject, judicial construction had determined the validity of such claims, for such services performed contained in a certificate, before the compact was entered into with the State of Virginia. And whereas also the said compact with the State of Virginia, declaring, That all private rights and interests of land within the said district, derived from the laws of Virginia, prior to such separation, shall remain valid and secure under the laws of the proposed State, and shall be determined by the laws now existing in this State, has prevented the legislature of this State from declaring the true intent and
meaning of the said act; but cannot be so construed as to prevent the legislative authority of the two States, from preventing any of these evils, to prevent and remedy which the compact was formed.
'Resolved, That the Act before recited, did vest in the commissioners appointed by virtue thereof, full power and authority to determine the rights of claimants to settlements and pre-emptive rights of 400 and 1000 acres of land, by virtue of the services therein enumerated. And that their adjudications on the claims submitted to them, were, and ought to be considered as final, except in the cases in which by the said act an appeal was allowed. And that the certificate being the record of such adjudication if obtained without fraud, ought to be considered a conclusive evidence of the right of the holder, to the quantity of land therein expressed, for the services therein enumerated.
'Resolved, that a declaratory law to this effect ought to be passed, as soon as the assent of the legislature of Virginia is obtained, & that the Governor be, and he is hereby requested to transmit this resolution to the Executive of Virginia to be laid before the General Assembly of that State, with a request that they will consider the same, and if they think it proper, pass a declaratory law to this effect, or take such other steps as in their wisdom shall seem fit and proper.' This resolution was rejected by a large majority. During the time however it was under consideration, it was asserted by those who were opposed to the resolution, and who afterwards advocated the address to remove, that the legislature of Virginia was competent to the task of passing such a law; or if she was not, and any of the citizens of Virginia, were aggrieved by the law, the State of Virginia might seek relief under the 12th section of the compact which is as follows (to wit) 'That in case any complaint or dispute shall at any time arise between the commonwealth of Virginia and the said district, after it shall be an independent state, concerning the meaning or execution of the foregoing articles, the same shall be determined by six commissioners, of whom two shall be chosen by each of the parties, and the remainder by the commissioners so first appointed.' The absurdity of these arguments I shall take notice of hereafter; it is my business now, only to give an historical detail of the proceedings. Soon after the above resolution was rejected, the petition I spoke of in my former address was presented, those concerned in the measure, best know what means were made use of to obtain it. On this petition, altho' I am told the scheme was in agitation before the petition was thought of, the following resolution was brought into the House of representatives: 'Whereas it is represented to the present General Assembly that two of the judges of the court of Appeals (to wit) George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian, at the last term of the said court, did give an opinion and decree after solemn argument, in the cause of Kenton vs M'Connell, that is contrary to the plain letter, intent and meaning of the act, entitled An act for adjusting and settling the titles of claimants to unpatented lands under the present and former government previous to the establishment of the commonwealth's land office; which said opinion and decree are subversive of the plainest principles of law and justice and involve in their consequences the distress and ruin of many of our innocent and meritorious citizens. And whereas the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian, who gave the opinion and decree aforesaid must have done so, either from
undue influence, corrupt motives, or want of judgment; as said opinion and decree, expressly contravenes the decisions of the court of commissioners, who were authorized to adjust and settle titles under the said recited act; and also contradicts a former decision of the late supreme court for the district of Kentucky on a similar point, whence arises a well grounded apprehension, that the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian are altogether destitute of that judgment, integrity and firmness, which are essential in every judge, but more especially in judges of the supreme court, and that there is no security for property so long as the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian continue as judges of the court of Appeals: And whereas also the constitution provides that for any reasonable cause, which shall not be sufficient ground of impeachment, the governor may remove any judge of a superior or inferior court, on the address of two thirds of each branch of the legislature, and the legislature deeming the before recited case proper for their interposition and address, the before,
'Resolved, that the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian ought respectively to be removed from their office of judge of the court of Appeals, and that a joint committee from each branch of the legislature, be appointed to prepare an address to the governor for that purpose.' This resolution was as I have before observed rejected by a majority; to attain the object in view, it must have been passed by two thirds of each branch of the legislature. But during the argument and before the question was put, it was amended by striking out the words 'corrupt motives' and 'iniquity.' I shall now only add a copy of the resolution sent from the Senate, on the last day of the session; and then proceed to the second point.
'In Senate, Dec. 20th, 1794—Resolved, that it is the opinion of this house, that the judges Muter and Sebastian, in the case of Kenton vs M'Connell, have given a decision, contrary to the plain meaning and intent of the law; that their decision if established will contravene the purpose of the legislature of Virginia in establishing a board of commissioners, to grant settlement rights to certain settlers in the western country, and will do injustice to many of the first settlers in this country, which decision we believe from what appears at this time proceeded from a want of a proper knowledge of the law, or some impure motives, that appear, to discover a want of integrity.' I find, the words 'a want of a proper knowledge of the law,' have been substituted since the resolution was introduced into the committee of the whole senate, on the state of the commonwealth, in the place of the words 'a criminal ignorance of the law.' I cannot here avoid remarking the inconsistency of the conduct of the house of representatives; after voting unanimously on Friday, that that part of the resolution which charged the judges with corrupt motives and want of integrity, should be struck out, they passed the last resolution on Saturday, in which the judges are charged with 'a want of a proper knowledge of the law, or some impure motives, that appear to discover a want of integrity.' And as I always believed, whenever such a case occurred, it discovered more of the vanity natural to man, than any want of integrity, to accept an office for which the party was not perfectly well qualified; I cannot help admiring the candour and charity of the Senate; who while they doubt whether the opinion proceeded from ignorance or impure motives yet declare that it appears to discover a want of integrity. I now come
in the second place to enquire how, or by what means, the claims of those whose interest was likely to be affected by this opinion, could be secured, and whether any such attempt was made. The legislature of this State, have by the constitution, no appellate or controlling jurisdiction over questions depending or determined in the court of justice; the decision therefore in the case of Kenton vs M'Connell, could be effected if final in itself, by no legislative act. But the fact is, it is not final, the court having granted a re-hearing. But the interests of those whose claims depended on certificates of a similar nature might be secured by a legislative act. The two judges gave their opinion on the construction of the land law, the other judge differed with them on that construction, and the reasons of each in favor of the construction on they have given to the law, is inserted on the records of the court. Can any thing be more obvious than that the interest of all such claimants might be secured by a law explanatory of that which has caused the doubt. In the British Statute book, and the collection of the acts of the Virginia assembly, you will find many statutes or acts, amendatory, explanatory or declaratory of former laws, & among the latter some explanatory or declaratory of the law, on which their claims are founded. And in these cases you will generally find either from the preambles of the statutes or acts, or from the history of the times, that they have been occasioned by judicial decisions. The laws which are in force in Kentucky, are the same as our own legislature, the acts of assembly of Virginia, and a part of the English laws; the two last derive their validity, except in the cases provided for by the compact, not from the legislative authority of Virginia or England, but because they are declared to be the laws of this state by the convention which formed the constitution or by the legislature.
If a doubt should arise concerning either of these laws, the legislature is competent, either to repeal, alter, or amend them. But the legislature of Kentucky is not competent to repeal, alter, amend, explain, or declare the meaning of any law, which derives its validity from any other source than their authority, or rather, the authority of the people whom they represent. They cannot alter the constitution, because the people have delegated no such power to them, nor can they alter the compact with the State of Virginia, without the assent of that state, because the people whom they represent could not delegate to them such power.
This is the case with respect to the land law, for it is declared by the compact that all private rights and interests of land derived from the laws of Virginia, shall remain valid and secure under the laws of the proposed State, and shall be determined by the laws now existing in this State. But the legislatures of the two states may explain the land law, because the same power which has enacted a law or given validity to a law before enacted is also competent to repeal, amend, or explain it. This power at the time the compact was formed, was vested in the representatives of the people of Virginia and Kentucky assembled together; it is still vested in their representatives who now constitute two different assemblies.

GEORGE-TOWN. Dec. 5.
Many concurrent evidences seem to have put it beyond a doubt that there exist a formidable insurrection in the south of Prussia, in favour of the rights of man, and that the king has been compelled to suspend his persecution of the patriots, to reduce his own taxes to a sense of their duty.
In New-Jersey there is written and "very generally signed by men of note" a petition and remonstrance to both houses of Congress against "the excessive salaries paid both to the legislative & executive officers of our government" the disproportion between the pay of a soldier and member of Congress, which is as sixty to one, and the unfairness of giving the one thirty cents per mile, and the other only ten cents per day on their return home.

December 9.
A correspondent enquires of Mr. Fitzsimons and Co.—What is the whole republic of North America but a self created society? What are the states of which it is composed but self created societies—Whence did the United States derive their happy glorious independence? Did they not once unanimously acknowledge allegiance to Great Britain—and did Great Britain ever voluntarily relinquish her claim to the government of them?—Did not her ministers reproach them as a self created society—and, in speaking of their government, carefully use the contemptuous terms—"their pretended Congress?"
Do not the tyrants of Great Britain still endeavour to check investigation into their measures, and the free circulation of public opinion, with a cruelty that would disgrace the savages of the wilderness?—Can liberty exist, except in a self created and self governed society?
