John Weems against John Weems jun. Sarah Weems, Wilhelmina Gant, Henry Gant, Philip Barton Key, and Charles Lowndes.
IN CHANCERY, May 12, 1802.
THE object of the bill filed in this cause is to obtain partial relief against a bond, executed by the complainant to the said John Weems jun. for 2500. and a bond to Philip Barton Key, for 5000. It states, that the said bonds were executed by the complainant, to secure a supposed balance to Amelia Weems, one of his father's representatives, due from him, as executor to his father, that the said balance was not justly due from him, because since the decree of this court, directing him to pay money on account of which the said bonds were given, the complainant, as executor aforesaid, hath had a decree against him at the suit of Daniel Kent, for the sum of 1395 1 8 1 2 and that several other suits have been instituted against him as executor.
It states likewise, that the said balance was not due from him, because he was entitled to a contribution from the said Amelia, for money paid by him on a compromise, made of a suit brought against him by William Loch Chew, for the recovery of a tract of land called Loch Eden, which suit his father, by his last will had directed to be defended to the last resort, at the expense of his estate. It is further stated that some of the defendants reside out of the state.
It is, on the complainant's motion, therefore ordered, That he cause a copy of this order to be inserted, at least once in each of three successive weeks in the National Intelligencer, before the 12th day of June next, to the intent, that the non-resident defendants may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and of the substance and object of their bill, and may be warned to appear here on or before the second Wednesday in October next, to show cause wherefore a decree should not pass as prayed.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

DEBATE
On the bill received from the Senate, entitled "An act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the Courts of the United States."
Mr. Holland. At this advanced period of the debate it would be improper for me to enter largely into the discussion of the present question, a regard for our time, a respect for the hon. gentlemen that have gone before me and a respect to you Mr. forbid it. I shall therefore confine my remarks to the most prominent objections that have been made to the passage of the bill on your table.
The first objection to the passage of the bill, is the want of constitutional power in the legislature to pass it; and the second ground of objection is, that if the legislature have the power, that it is improper to pass it at this time.
As to the 1st objection, it is laid down as a maxim, that the same power that can create can destroy, and that the power that gives hath a right to take away that which is given. The first maxim relates to the legislature, the second to the executive power. But it is said, that these maxims do not apply to the present case. That the legislative powers have been limited by the charter under which we legislate, and that the limitation extends to the present case. And it is also contended that the appointment of judges are not an executive act, but an act of the people, and therefore cannot be removed but by the people. If upon examination either of these assertions are true, I shall be ready to concede the point and shall say at once, that the bill ought not to pass and will give it my veto.
As to the first maxim, I shall contend that if it holds good in any case, it ought to hold in legislation, legislation being a science so essential to the happiness of man, and so little understood, owing to the many obstructions that have been thrown in the way by wicked and designing men, that it ought to be at liberty; the legislative mind should be at liberty to reconsider its own acts, in order to benefit by experience. In the executive and judicial departments, the greatest part of their acts are mechanical, having no will of their own, they are obliged to execute the will of the nation; but even they have a right to correct their own errors. The executive can dismiss from office persons that he has taken into service by mistake. The judiciary can revise and reconsider their own judgments, reverse their own decrees and correct their own errors. Indeed this seems to be a common inherent right in all men whether considered in a private or public capacity. And in all limitation to this rule the act may be properly said to be not the act of the agent but the act of the principal, the agent not being responsible for the result. But with respect to the powers assigned to congress, they are ample to all objects submitted to them; they are numerous and defined in the 8th sec. 1st art. of the constitution, there is not the smallest indication of a restriction where they have power to act, or had acted, except in the case of the compensation of the President and judges salary, they are not to be diminished during their continuance in office. This does not restrict the legislature over the institution under which the judges hold their office. If this restriction had been intended it would have been expressed in unequivocal words; words that would have applied to the office and not to the officer, such as that the judges shall hold their office during good behaviour, and the office shall not be abolished. This not having been said, I am unwilling to suppose that the framers of the constitution intended to restrict legislative powers; that they intended to prevent them from having it in their power at all times to reconsider their own acts, and to put down useless inconvenient or expensive institutions. I am unwilling to suppose, that the convention intended to keep up the office for the sole use of the officer. That the office and officer being created by the people in their legislative and executive capacity, the people in the same capacity shall dispense with them, when in their opinion they are useless; a contrary construction would be an improper limitation of legislative powers and preclude the benefit of experience.
I shall now consider more particularly to whom the words, and they shall hold their office during good behaviour, alluded to. By the 11th section of the 2d art of the constitution, the president shall have power by and with the advice of two thirds of the senate to make treaties, to nominate and appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court &c. and by the last clause the President has power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session. From this section it is evident that the appointment to office, is an executive act, that the senate when advising are in the exercise of executive duties, the appointment is an executive choice, it is an executive gift to the person to whom the office is conferred, he has it not by purchase, he has given nothing in exchange but holds it as a gift, and unless otherwise checked at the will of the giver.
I shall now consider more particularly
to whom the words, and they shall hold their office during good behaviour, alluded to. By the 11th section of the 2d art of the constitution, the president shall have power by and with the advice of two thirds of the senate to make treaties, to nominate and appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court &c. and by the last clause the President has power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session. From this section it is evident that the appointment to office, is an executive act, that the senate when advising are in the exercise of executive duties, the appointment is an executive choice, it is an executive gift to the person to whom the office is conferred, he has it not by purchase, he has given nothing in exchange but holds it as a gift, and unless otherwise checked at the will of the giver. Hence the framers of the constitution thought proper to restrain the power of the giver, to wit, the executive by inserting the words before stated, and he shall hold his office during good behaviour. If these words had not been inserted the judges would have held their offices by the same tenure of ambassadors and other officers under his gift, subject to be removed by executive pleasure. And I cannot but think, that the convention had a reference to the tenure of the judges in Great Britain, and observing that the will of the executive was there limited, they thought proper to make a similar restraint upon the will of the executive in this country. This, Sir, is the most correct opinion that I am able to form as to our having a constitutional power to pass the bill on your table.
My colleague, Mr. Henderson, says, that the tenure under which the judges hold their offices in the state from which we come is the same with the tenure of the judges of the United States. It is correct, not only the judges, but all the justices of that state hold their offices by the same tenure, during good behaviour. But I think differently from him when he says he considers it not an executive but a legislative restriction. Soon after the formation of our constitution, our legislature passed laws organizing courts of justice, constituted of inferior and superior courts the superior courts, were held in districts by judges whose authority extended to the utmost limits of the state, and had unlimited jurisdiction; the inferior courts were held by the justices of the respective counties, and had a limited jurisdiction with respect to officers, and unlimited as to civil actions subject to an appeal to the superior court in all cases by the party who thought himself aggrieved.
Notwithstanding the legislature at sundry times hath attempted to change the federal system, both of the superior and county courts, an attempt was once made to repeal the law constituting the superior court, with an intent to vest superior power in the county courts; if this project had carried, the judges would have been put down; and indeed when this subject was on the tapis, I never once heard it suggested, that on account of the office of the judges, that the legislature had not a power to make any arrangements they thought proper; indeed it was said by members, that the repeal would answer one good purpose, if no other, that by it the state would get rid of one or two judges who were incapable of performing their duties, and so it happened that no institute could be proposed, that obtained a majority of the members and no material change hath been made. And I am pretty certain, had the friends of the judges suggested that the legislature had not a constitutional power to repeal the law on account of the offices of the judges that it would have contributed to the repeal.
And with respect to the justices who hold their offices by the same tenure as that of the judges as before stated. The legislature for the more convenient administration of justice, have thought proper to divide a number of their counties, in some instances neither division retained its original name as in the case of the county I live in, and the county adjacent, both of which was once known by the name of Tryon, after the British governor who joined his majesty's forces, which occasioned the legislature on the division to name the counties after two American officers, Lincoln and Rutherford. In this case the whole of the justices were out of commission, occasioned by a legislative arrangement, and the legislature did not conceive themselves bound to re-commission said justices,
their re-appointment depended upon the opinion that was entertained of their merit. And in all this it never once occurred to the legislature of North Carolina, that they had infringed the rights of office or violated the constitution of the state, and of these transactions I appeal to all my colleagues that hear me. And I further say that the late judiciary bill even before and since its passage has been a subject of much conversation, and opinions freely given as to the propriety of its repeal, but in all that I have heard respecting it, the legislative power of congress never was called in question. I further say that the objection is so new to me that I never heard of it until I came to this city; and after I found it is lifted upon by gentlemen, I have paid due attention to all the arguments that have been advanced by them, but to no purpose; my first opinion stands unshaken, and I think with the former legislatures of the state that I have the honor to represent, and with the present legislature as announced by their resolution on your table, that the words that the judges shall hold their offices during good behaviour, are not a legislative but an executive restriction, and under this impression I feel at liberty to exercise my influence according to the will of the legislature of the state to repeal the act contemplated by the bill before you. And I am far from thinking with my colleague (Mr. Henderson) that the legislature of that state stood in need of the arguments of this place to enable them to form a correct opinion as to the expediency or constitutionality of the repeal. With regard to the expediency so far as relates to their state, they are the most competent on account of a complete representation of all the counties in all their remote or various situations must be fully understood. And with respect to the constitutionality of the repeal they would be at no loss having the whole evidence before them the act and the constitution, this being all that were necessary to the forming of their judgment. I would ask my colleague full and the gentleman just at down, if they think the multiplied arguments made use of on this occasion hath profited a single gentleman. I think it will be answered in the negative. I shall now proceed to make a few observations on the expediency of the passage of the bill, drawn principally from what comes within my own knowledge. I think I attended at two courts in the city of Raleigh, it was at the time of the sitting of the general assembly of that state, in the year 97—98. I was in court 98, when his Honor gave his charge to the grand jury, it principally consisted in an eulogium on the administration of the general government, after which the court adjourned, and on the next day the court met, made up two or three issues, and perhaps tried a suit, and on the third day the court began nothing to do, adjourned until court in courts. And I have understood that in the other parts of the state the business were conducted nearly in the same way. Indeed I have ever understood, that the federal courts there had little to do. There was one case that came within my own knowledge, it was a suit that was brought against a poor man, on the other side of the Appalachian mountain, as a delinquent under the excise law, where the demand was about 17 dollars, and after the poor man had rode near two hundred, and fifty miles once or twice, he paid the large sum of 100 dollars costs, and came off clear. These circumstances, with the resolution of the state legislature is to me conclusive evidence that the original courts were adequate to all the business for which they were instituted in that state.
Having thus got over the objection relative to our want of power, and shown the expediency of passing the bill on your table, I shall take some notice of another objection that has been greatly insisted upon, namely, if we pass this bill we destroy the independence of our judiciary. And if on examination it is found that after this bill passes, that our judiciary will possess more independence, that they stand farther from the grasp of legislative executive power than any other judiciary in earth, I hope gentlemen will concede to the passage of the bill. In looking at the subject it will be proper to take a view of the judiciary of Great Britain, that is admitted to be the best judiciary in the world, where independence and fidelity have been admitted to be the glory of the lengthened nation.
The tenure of the judge's office there is during good behaviour, or in other words against the will of the chief executive
magistrate. Subject to be removed by a joint address of both houses of parliament, and in this case the king has no discretion, the address is imperious. Here by our construction the judges cannot be removed so long as the institution under which they hold their offices exists. To repeal this institution there must be not only a majority of both branches of the legislature, but the consent and approbation of the executive are necessary, or otherwise a constitutional majority of both houses. A gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Goodrich) has said that he has no apprehension of an abuse of power in England, that it is not reasonable to suppose that parliament would make an improper address for the removal of their judges, for that the parliament consisted of a democratic and an aristocratical branch that would remain firm against any improper impulse. But that he apprehends there is not the same security in this country. As the gentleman has not given a reason for his apprehensions, it is but fair to presume, that he has a higher confidence in the British house of commons and lords of parliament, than he has in the American senate and house of representatives, with the further additional security of the executive of the United States.
A gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Hemphill) asked what could induce the framers of the constitution to leave it in the power of the legislature to let their judges drop by repealing the law by which they held their commissions. I will answer that honorable gentleman by asking him what induced the convention that formed the constitution of his state, to put it in the power of the legislature to remove their judges by a joint address of two thirds of the legislature to the executive of that state. The motives that governed in the one case probably governed in the other, and I will submit to the opinion of the gentleman whether the removal by address is not easier effected than by repealing the institution under which the judges acted — he vote of the governor being equal to one third of the legislature, equal to the constitutional vote of the President of the United States. A gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Rutledge) says that if we pass this bill we may destroy the independence of the judiciary but that we certainly had the constitution in the most mortified part. To both charges I say not guilty. But to prove the truth of the charges he introduced, i.e. outlawry of Wilkes in England, and stated that the judges had formed, fidelity, and independence sufficient, and reversed the outlawry. This case proves the reverse of the position intended, it proves that although the judges in England held their offices by the courtesy of parliament, yet they had integrity and independence equal to the discharge of their duties, from which it must be inferred that our judges not holding their offices at the will of the legislature are more independent and more capable of discharging their duties.
And as a further proof of our destroying the independence of the judiciary, and flabbing the constitution, the same gentleman informed us that, by this means all republics had been destroyed. That Greece had fallen, Rome had fallen, and that Venice and the republic of Switzerland had fallen. I expected that the honorable member was about to show that those republics had fallen, for that they had written constitutions, vesting certain powers in their judiciary, and that the legislative branches of those governments had destroyed their independence. The honorable gentleman says that we are enemies to the constitution, and that he and his honorable friends would do anything to save it. The manner that those gentlemen formerly and at this time have portrayed the constitution, puts me in mind of Achilles the Grecian chief, the constitution like this hero at some times, was invulnerable, it was adequate to every purpose; it was broad and extended its force against all opposition, like the heroic Achilles, and levelled armies, and now like him the only mortal part that the shaft of dexterity can enter is at the heel. It is in the minor branch of the executive, the judiciary, and in the minor branch of that branch the lower judges.
A gentleman from Pennsylvania and my colleague from North Carolina, hath compared the tenure of the judges to a contract, and says that the same rule of justice should be applied to them as to individual contracts, I am not disposed to contest this point. And what is the rule upon contracts where work and labour is to be done. Suppose a firm of merchants employs a clerk to act as a clerk in their firm during good behaviour, for which services said clerk had a

[From the New-York Daily Advertiser.]
By the ship William, captain Gardner, arrived yesterday in 34 days from London, papers have been received till the 4th of May, inclusive.
Whole pages of the London prints are occupied with the details of the Procession, of the ILLUMINATIONS, of entertainments, feastings, on the proclamation of peace—"of universal peace by sea and land." An account of the procession has already appeared in our paper. Of the illuminations, Mr. Otto's house in Portman square was the object of universal attraction, curiosity was amply gratified, and, succeeded by admiration. The whole front of the house was in a blaze of light; if any censure could be uttered, there was richness to oppress and bewildered the eye; it was a sheet of fire, rather than the clear strong mark of separation of different parts combining in a general effect. Lord Hawkesbury did not emulate the splendor of his rival negotiator; his lordship's house in Sackville street was illuminated in a very plain style. Drury Lane Theatre was superb beyond the powers of description; the immense size of the building, and its towering elevation above all those that surrounded it afforded the proprietors prodigious advantages, which they improved with the greatest spirit—they may be compared to the distinguished members of the ancient republics, who at their own expense gave magnificent shows to their fellow citizens. The inhabitants of Athens or of Rome never received more pleasure from a naumachia, or a fight of gladiators, than the populace of London from Drury Lane Theatre. The Bank of England was most superbly illuminated with about 12,000 variegated lamps, which presented a very brilliant appearance. Transparent paintings and emblematic devices ornamented the Phoenix Fire Office, which produced the most striking effect. The fancy of individuals was variously displayed and infinitely diversified. Taste as well as humor prevailed. The number of people moving about the streets was immense, the estimation was from 4 to 500,000 on the pavements; the evening was favourable, and the streets perfectly dry and comfortable to pedestrians. Many of those who loitered in carriages were miserably disappointed; the streets were completely wedged up and the passengers within were compelled to sit in one spot for hours. Accidents, as are usual on these occasions, occurred, more of the ludicrous than serious; several lost their hats, some their shoes, and others had their clothes torn. Pickpockets abound and were very successful. The only mob of any consequence was before Mr. Cobbert's house, Pall Mall, which not being illuminated, was assailed and damaged; the ringleaders were secured and committed.
Mr. Chairman, as I am fully convinced that we have a constitutional right to pass the bill on your table, and as I do believe that it is expedient to pass it, and as I further believe, that it does not violate the independence of the judiciary, that if they have a right to judge of the constitutionality of law, they will continue unimpaired to have the same right, and in every respect remain in their constitutional independence. I shall therefore vote against the proposition of my colleague for striking out the last section of the bill.
has to the present question. And he says that Mr. Hamilton although he was the author of the funding system, did not consider a national debt as a national blessing, and to prove it, reads a long report of Secretary Hamilton to congress.
It is true in this report, there is no express avowal of an opinion that a national debt would be a national blessing—nor is it reasonable to believe that his avowal would accompany an official report. But we are to judge of the intentions of men by their actions, more than by their declarations—the actions on many measures adopted by government lead to the proof—and I think I have seen a publication (as publications have been admitted as evidence by gentlemen on the other side) which publication has been ever considered as the production of that gentleman, which went to prove that a national debt was a national blessing. This doctrine has been so well understood in theory and practice, that I had thought the principle had been settled. The gentleman says that it was impossible to do justice in the funding system, this would be a good argument not to have touched it.
He says at the time the additional army was raised France had 40,000 troops, and had nothing to do, and she might have bent her course this way. If this was true, France has 150,000 troops at present and less to do, we therefore ought to be raising armies.
He says our navy protected our trade. It may be so, but was there a necessity to build the six ships of the line, that could not in any short time be brought into action, at a time when we had to borrow money at 8 per cent. He says our side of the house never wished to pay the public debt. This I deny, my friends never wished unnecessarily to augment the public debt by creating and keeping up useless institutions. But they at all times, when a debt had been created, although ever so improper, have wished to extinguish it, by actual payment, to prove this examine the records and journals of congress, and the votes will be there seen. The gentleman has said much about our destroying the independence of the judiciary, and attempting to violate the constitution in common with other gentlemen on that side of the house, equally unjust and defamatory, for which no apology can be given unless it be admitted to be the last convulsions of an expiring party.
Mr. Chairman, as I am fully convinced that we have a constitutional right to pass the bill on your table, and as I do believe that it is expedient to pass it, and as I further believe, that it does not violate the independence of the judiciary, that if they have a right to judge of the constitutionality of law, they will continue unimpaired to have the same right, and in every respect remain in their constitutional independence. I shall therefore vote against the proposition of my colleague for striking out the last section of the bill.

covent with him by agreeing for a monthly payment of a sum not to be less than during good behaviour. I this contract binding upon the firm, so that they cannot dissolve it? Suppose the firm dissolved, what becomes of the contract? Can the agent maintain an action in law or equity, for the recovery of monies, for services rendered, or for services not wanted? I believe not, for, and the principle is holds good in all contracts where service are to be rendered. If any thing occurs that renders the services unnecessary or improper, the contract is concluded, it is at an end, a contrary principle would lead to many absurdities. A gentleman from Connecticut has said that the words during good behaviour in plain and easy and stood, that a school boy would without hesitation answer that it meant so long as he behaved well, that it meant during life, and would not a school boy also answer that no person should be continued in service longer than his services was wanted, and that as soon as the services could be dispensed with that the person performing services should be discharged, and after the discharge, would not the school boy say that the payment should stop. The gentleman has said we may not commit murder by running our sword through a man, but may push a man against a sword. Is there any similarity in this case, in discharging a man from service whose services are not wanted, in discontinuing an office that is unnecessary to be kept up, and even expensive and injurious to the community, and that of taking the life of a citizen. I think not. I see none. One being an act arising from just impressions of duty, the other an act of high criminality. The same gentleman has said that we ought to be cautious in passing laws by constructive right on the constitution. This caution comes with a bad grace from that quarter. Has the honorable gentleman forgot the law passed by his support, where by a construction of guarding against the licentiousness of the press, they passed the sedition act contrary to the express words of the constitution. These things are of so recent a date that they cannot be forgotten. We have been too long amused by hand, by declarations from that side of the house, as it is now too late for declarations to obtain credit, when contrary to experience. We have been told by a gentleman from Maryland that he wishes to support the sovereignty and dignity of the United States, and at the next break he tells us and tells the world, that he has no confidence in the majority of the legislature, and that he has no confidence in the executive. Is this the means that he employs to support the dignity of the United States? He has also said that the ademption of the state debts were necessary for the remuneration of the war worn soldier; these were the declarations by which this measure was carried. Has my friends in the opposition then escaped that it would not have that effect, that on the contrary the soldier that had performed the services, and that the citizen that had advanced his property for the public service would not be remunerated, but that the whole would be cast into the hands of a few speculators, and that the public debt would be greatly augmented. And has not all this been realized to a greater extent than was even apprehended by my friends. The same gentleman has said, with one other gentleman from Maryland, that the war in Europe, and the extent of the French arms, made it necessary to augment and raise the additional army, or to put it in the power of the French to do so. My friend then thought as they still think that the French, whatever intentions of hostility they bore to this country, would not invade it; that they were to be encompassed by the powers of Europe, the thing was impossible. To these reasonings my friends received in reply, that they were Jacobins, democrats, French partisans; then was the time of political intolerance. But having carried the army, more was necessary, the opposition must not talk, or at least they must not write about it, unless they had always legal evidence in their pocket! to justify the sedition law, it was necessary to put down free enquiry—and after all this we are still told all has been well conducted; and we are further threatened with civil war, if we strike down this institution, and recommended to take care of our wives and children, we are threatened with the bayonet—Are these gentlemen prepared like their famous leader and author of the funding system at New-York to shed their hearts blood in the opposition? I trust they are not prepared—they have no army of dependants to second them in a design of that kind. The good sense of America has at length seen their projects, and cannot longer be imposed upon by them. A gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Dennis) begins his remarks by giving us the homage of his esteem. I would ask the gentleman is this an indication of approbation or contempt. He dwells much on the name of general Washington, and says that no monuments are building for him. I cannot conceive any relation that this
to subjects of his imperial majesty which shall be provided with a Turkish man.
A letter from the Hague says that the English government has lent orders to the Moluccas to transport, before the British troops evacuate the island, all the seeds and plants of spices to Jamaica and Trinidad. Thus the commerce in spices, which the Dutch have hitherto enjoyed exclusively, and which has materially contributed to enrich their merchants, will be now divided with Great Britain.
A convocation of considerable importance took place in the British House of Commons, on the night of Monday the 31 May. Mr. Windham stated his reasons for giving notice of a motion respecting the definitive treaty, and entered into a detail of the objections which had been thrown out at different times in both houses by gentlemen of his opinion. Mr. Pitt defended the definitive treaty against Mr. Windham's attack, but reserved the full statement of his arguments until the promised motion should be made. He felt, however, with respect to the apprehensions expressed for the safety of the British East India dominion, in consequence of the non-renewal of former treaties, that not only no English member of parliament could find any solid ground of objection or uneasiness, but that no rival could discover a plausible pretence for cavil on that account. He defended generally the non-renewal treaties; and contended that the advantage of the omission was as great on the part of England as France. Mr. Windham's notice was of a motion for Tuesday the 18th of May; but Mr. Adington moved, as an amendment, Tuesday the 11th. The reason he gave for this was, the necessity of terminating the work of peace (already so long suspended) as speedily as possible.
In the course of his observations respecting the definitive treaty, remarking on the cession of Louisiana to the French, Mr. Windham said, "by this acquisition the French are established in a force so unbounded as the view is open, whether north or south. What a present have we made it to the Americans! We have placed a serpent at their feet, by which they will ultimately be devoured. We have put them in that state in which they must become willing slaves under the dominion of France. We all know something of human nature. We know that men detest the instrument less than the cause, and turn their resentment upon those whom they can make to feel it most. They will not of course hesitate between us and the French; and this we shall eventually forfeit the friendship of America by the aggrandizement of the French in that quarter. As to the wealth which that establishment opens to them, it has no limits but their will. On the continent of South America there is no power that can resist them. There are the sources of the wealth of the world: but if gentlemen do not feel the consequence of their pulling into the hands of the French, it would be in vain for me to impress them with an idea of their importance."
To this part of Mr. Windham's speech, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Mr. Addington) replied:
"In the climax of reasons that the hon. gentleman had gone through, he had considerable stress on the dangers which menaced the independence of the American States from the French having a settlement in Louisiana. Undoubtedly every accession to the French power in that part of the world, and every thing that threatened the independence of the United States was ground of serious apprehensions; but was it only from Louisiana that France could make the attack, if she had full power and was disposed? Did the hon. gentleman pretend to say that if a large military force was sent to Guiana, it may not from thence be made to act with altogether as much effect! Did he mean to say that the attempt might not be made from St. Domingo, if that island was brought under proper subjection, and made the depot of an armament intended for that purpose; if finally, the countries themselves were not disposed to assert their own independence, and Great Britain was inclined to look tamely on? It was, therefore, not from Louisiana alone that the power of France was to be dreaded, but from many other quarters equally."
At the date of our last accounts from Paris, a new code of public instruction had been agreed to by the Tribune, and was under discussion by the legislative body. The revolutionary names by which many of the public holidays were distinguished, and which tended to destroy those recollections that encourage benevolence by doing honour to the benefactor, are to be abolished, and the original names restored.
The United States frigate Adams for the Mediterranean, and the British Packet Duke of Kent for Falmouth, failed from this port yesterday.
MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.
House, Thursday, June 3. An answer to the Governor's speech was reported and accepted, and Messrs. Otis, Vose, Knox, Bings and Tilling-
best appointed to present the same. The following is the answer:
"May it please your excellency, The House of Representatives receive with pleasure and respect, the address of your excellency to both branches of the legislature, and offer in return, their sincere congratulations upon the recent instance of the high esteem and increasing confidence of the citizens manifested at the late election."
We are very aware of the delicate nature of that portion of your excellency's duties which regard appointments to office, and firmly believe that in the selection of candidates your excellency has been universally actuated by the most impartial views to the interest and convenience of the people. Competition for offices of necessity gives rise to personal disappointment, and the difficulty of deciding upon pretensions apparently equal, must some times occasion embarrassment—but no material detriment to the public interest will arise from these sources, while the power of appointment is exercised with a sincere desire to select able and honest men. It is only when subjected to the influence of passion, intolerance or party projects, that this power becomes a source of the people. The actual and pertinent sentiments advanced by your excellency, upon the general importance of government to the peace of society, its tendency to promote the public happiness, and induce a compliance with the laws of the land, demand our most cordial assent and approbation.
We rejoice in the existence of that National Constitution, which unites the people of the several states in the bonds of interest, and entitles them to the common privilege of citizens. Nothing that we are wanting on our part to secure the use and extend its advantages to our fellow-citizens, by the performance of such duties, as on the part of this commonwealth is now incumbent upon us.
The importance of the union of the states, and of the National Government, to our safety and tranquility cannot be too frequently inculcated. We regard the preservation of both as the most laudable of our public duties. In an extensive confederacy, composed of various states, mutual jealousies and violent collisions of opinion are naturally expected, and it may sometimes happen, that local passions and prejudices may acquire a dangerous ascendancy in the public councils. In such seasons, patience, moderation, and a reliance upon constitutional restraints, would become all good citizens. It is instead of this temper the public mind should be actuated by a sincere resolution to abandon the union, or a premature dissolution of our means to maintain it, the disorder and weakness incident to small and jarring confederacies would expose us to the loss of national importance, and individual liberty.
We unite with your excellency, in deprecating the pernicious effects of that party spirit which has prostrated the bank of every other Republic, and which is the principal, if not the only source of the calamities which threaten a free and independent people. The evils arising from the excessive indulgence of this intolerant and unfounded spirit, among those who are not the immediate agents of public affairs, are serious obstacles to general prosperity and private happiness. But in any elective government, not merely the people, but their rulers shall become infected with this malignant spirit of party; it building from the corners of private circles, it has spread its fatal influence over magistrates and legislators, then indeed will the public interest be sacrificed to private attachments; then will merit languish in obscurity and disgrace, while honors and promotions await the selfish and unworthy; then will such a nation realize that paper constitutions are feeble barriers against the devices of sophistry, or the assaults of violence. We trust however with your excellency, that the main character of our fellow-citizens, and their general information will save us from those excesses of party zeal, by which other nations have been disgraced. This salutary object is naturally promoted by the moderate and conciliatory temperaments of a Chief Magistrate, when illuminated by his conduct and example; and it is a tribute of justice due to your excellency to declare that your adhesion to impartiality, and your aversion to party, is not left to be inferred from your declarations only, but is apparent in the whole tenor of your excellency's public conduct.
The particular subjects detailed in your excellency's address are entitled to, and shall receive our diligent attention, and we shall studiously co-operate in attending that dispatch to the business of the session, which the public convenience at this season of the year, peculiarly requires.

The Imported Horse DRIVER,
WILL stand the ensuing season, at the City of Washington, at the stable of the subscriber, at sixteen dollars the season, and five shillings to the groom. The season will commence on the first of March, and end on the 10th of August next. This will probably be the last season that Driver will stand here, as he is provisionally engaged the next season to stand in North-Carolina. Driver was seven years old on the 23th of April last. He is fifteen hands three inches high, of great beauty, uncommon bone, strength and agility. He is a beautiful blood bay, with a star, small snip, a circle of white round each hind foot, with black mane, tail and legs. Three hundred pounds cash were refused for him at three months old. Applications made at Mr. Rhodes's, and Mr. Johnson's Tavern.
PEDIGREE.
Driver was got by Lord Edmiston's famous running horse Driver, which now stands so high in England, and won twelve races out of fourteen in one year against the best horses; his dam, bred by Lord Gifford, was full sister to Strawberry, by Dorimont, an extraordinary good runner; his grand dam the famous running mare Mule, got by old King Herod; his great grand dam by Shepherd's Crab; his great great grand dam Miss Meredith by Cade, full brother to old Lath, by the Godolphin Arabian; his great great great grand dam the Little Hardley Mare, by Bartol's Children, full brother to Flyg's Children, and Sire of Squirt, which was the sire of Mafs and grand sire of Eclipse; his great great great grand dam Flying Wisp, by Williams's Woodstock Arabian, got by the St. Victor Barb, out of a daughter of Whynot, son of the Fenwick Barb.
Lord Edmiston's Driver, foaled in 1783, was gotten by Trenton, out of Cequette, who was gotten by the Compton Barb, out of a Godolphin Arabian Mare, own sister to Regulus, her grand dam Grey Robinson by the Bald Galloway; great grand dam, by Snake, out of old Wilkes, who was gotten by Hautboy, out of Miss D'Arcy's Pet Mare, a daughter of a sedary Royal Mare.
Dorimont was foaled in 1772, gotten by Otho, his dam by Bahram; grand dam by the Hampton Court Children, out of the Duke of Somerset's Fald Charlotte. Dorimont won eleven thousand two hundred and ninety nine guineas, besides cups, stakes, subscriptions, and the jockey club plate.
W. THORNTON.
N. B. The dam of Driver was purchased by my relation Isaac Pickering esq. of Foxlease, Hampshire, England; who sent her to the Earl of Egremont by one of his own grooms. The individual pedigrees were examined in the stud book by governor Ogle.
