A PROTEST.
Of the Hon. Judge BASSETT against the late act of Congress which goes to prostrate at the feet of faction, the Judicial Department of our government, and thro' it, that Charter of our Liberty and Independence, the Federal Constitution.
(Continued.)
Until recourse is had to this method of abolishing existing judicial offices, I am bound to say, that no judge can be deprived of his office, but on impeachment for, and conviction of misbehaviour in office. Until then he remains clothed with inviolability, the independent and fearless expounder of the laws and the guardian of the constitution.
It has been said, that what is created by law, may be abolished by law; that the power of the legislature must be the same to both purposes; and therefore as the judicial offices in question arose out of the law of Feb. 1801, a law of March, 1802, may repeal or extinguish it.
This would be true, if Congress was an absolute legislature, possessing power without controul.
But Congress is the agent and creature of the constitution; like the executive and judiciary, it must act within the bound prescribed to it by the fundamental law.
The constitution is a charter of grants and reservations. It grants to the legislative power the right of creating judicial offices; but it reserves the right of fixing the duration of those offices when created under the constitution. It has in fact, prescribed their duration. As soon as Congress have executed their power of establishing the court and the officer is appointed, the provision in the constitution respecting his continuance attaches upon the law. It is identified with it; and secures the office to the possessor by its own immutability.
Nothing appears more obvious. It would be easy to show, that a legislative body acting under the controuling provisions of a standing and fixed constitution, may often possess the power to create or grant by law, and yet by no act afterwards can repeal or abolish the interest or office arising out of the first law. The Senators from each state may be, and frequently are appointed by law; yet a repeal of the law by the same legislature, & even another law appointing a substitute, would not abolish the first office. The repeal and the new appointment would be void: because the constitution annexes to the first appointment the term of office, and the officer will hold for his six years, however much dissatisfied the legislature, which made the law, may be with the officer.
By the 2d article of the constitution, it is provided, that congress, in case of a vacancy in the offices of President & Vice President, may by law, declare what officer shall then act as president, and "such officer shall act accordingly until the disability be removed, or a president shall be elected."
In this case the office is filled by a mere Legislative act; and yet in virtue of the expression in the constitution, that the officer so appointed, "should act accordingly until the disability be removed, &c." it will be admitted, that Congress would not have the power to repeal such law, or to appoint, by a new law, another person to exercise the powers of president.
It may be remarked here, that the words of "tenure" in regard to this officer to be appointed by Law, are not so solemn and explicit as those words in the Constitution respecting judicial officers created under a law of Congress.
Many other instances might be put, which readily suggest themselves to the mind, where Legislative creation is not followed with right or power of legislative repeal or extinction.
The repeal of laws, under which grants have been made, and interests vested, would not rescind the estate, or benefit, even though no constitutional security existed in favor of the donee or grantee.
And however prejudice may be wrought upon, or ignorance deceived, the grant of an office and salary, under the law and constitution, is equally sacred and inviolable as any other interest which can be conveyed by one party and accepted by another.
And when it is considered too, that this covenant, between the government and the officer, is founded on the great political principle, of maintaining an INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY, the contract should derive from thence a superior sanction.
The case of other officers, who do not accept appointment under any particular terms of continuance in office, is widely different. They take and hold at the will and pleasure of the President or Congress. This is known to them at the time. The constitution has not fixed the conditions or duration of such offices; and of course, being created by the mere will of the President, or by Congress, may be abolished by the same power.
And yet, if the position be true, that judges have no more permanent interest or estate in their offices and compensations than others, it follows, that those words in the constitution, "that they, when appointed, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall receive for their services a compensation not to be diminished," are wholly insignificant. The Executive or Legislative may dismiss them, at any time, and for any cause.
But the truth is, that the provision in the Constitution is wise and necessary: and whether it is so or not, while it remains there, the office of a judge and the compensation annexed to it, are as fixed as the charter itself, if he continues to behave well.
The Constitution announces, in explicit terms, that he who is appointed a judge, "shall hold his office during good behavior, and receive a certain compensation."
The Legislature, when they create the office, do it under this constitution. The person who is nominated and appointed by the President and the Senate, receives a commission under the seal of the United States, in which he reads these express words, "That he is appointed a judge of the Circuit Court of the United States for the third circuit; and is authorized and empowered to execute and fulfil the duties of that office, according to the Constitution and laws of the United States;" and then follows words of absolute grant, "TO HAVE and to HOLD the said office with all the powers, privileges and emoluments of the same of right appertaining — DURING HIS GOOD BEHAVIOR."
With this commission and grant in his hand; with the law of Congress, creating the office and fixing the compensation, to authorise it; and with the constitution of the United States before him, positively assuring him, that the office and the salary shall be holden by him during his good behavior, he accepts it upon the terms offered. And shall he be deprived of both office and salary the next month or year? or whenever the legislature, who is but one out of three parties to this solemn covenant, shall be pleased to say, "you are no longer necessary or agreeable" we can find judges to exercise your offices cheaper, or who will be more subservient to our wishes!"
Such principles as these shall be finally sanctioned by American judicatures, if the people, the moral, virtuous, and dignified people of the United States, tempted by momentary passion, or parliamentary, can be brought to sanction them, they will long have left its meaning, and the most solemn and sacred covenants made between the public and its citizens, their obligation.
The ruin of individuals and their families, who may have surrendered comfortable livings, and lost honorable and lucrative offices, upon the plighted faith of the U. States, ought to arrest such destructive tenets.
But the preservation of political freedom itself is concerned in the rejection of such doctrines. Let it once be decided by legislatures and courts of justice that words mean nothing when applied to judges and their compensations, and the constitution is at an end. They have equal right and power to say, and when the temptation occurs will say, that they mean nothing in any other case. Surely it deserves to be considered, whether the adoption of such principles must not gradually impair all confidence in public institutions and public faith; and in the end, vitiate the public morals beyond the reach of reformation.
It has been made a question, whether the judiciary can lawfully decide, that a legislative act is contrary to the constitution and for that reason hold it void. It has been said that it must be obeyed; that the judges of the United States are bound to yield to it and execute it.
I deem it quite unnecessary to range after proofs, shewing the error and danger of such an opinion. Perhaps it no where exists.
This power can, however, be demonstrated by a train of reasons and consequences, drawn from the nature of a limit-
ed legislature and the peculiar province of a national judiciary, in a manner incapable of refutation. It will be sufficient for me, however, to rest my answer to such an objection upon the TERMS of the constitution, and the natural and necessary effect of them.
By the third article and in the second section it is declared, that the JUDICIAL POWER shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under the CONSTITUTION, the LAWS of the U. States, and TREATIES.
Whensoever, then, a case shall be bro't before the judges of the United States, wherein, on one side it is contended that a particular act of the legislative body is void as being contrary to the constitution of the United States, and, on the other, that it is not contrary to it, that will be a case arising both under the constitution and law of the United States; and of course, by the express terms of the constitution, falls under the judicial power.
By the sixth article it is expressly provided and declared, "that this constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof, &c. shall be the supreme law of the land." Hence it follows that the constitution is the supreme law, and the particular acts of the legislative body are only supreme when made pursuant or in conformity to that, which is the fixed and overruling statute enacted by all the people, and only to be changed, altered, or opposed by the power that made it.
If then the constitution is the supreme law, the judicial department, in whom is vested by the same instrument the right and duty of expounding and enforcing the law, must necessarily be governed by it.
Whenever any question, however, or wherever, it may originate comes before the judges they must decide according to law.
If the controversy happen to turn upon the opposing terms of the constitution, and the act of the Legislative body, still the judges must decide, and decide according to law.
The Executive or Legislative may err; they may, like other men, from inadvertency, from error of opinion, from some too prevalent bias, or from design, commit, an unconstitutional act. Every citizen, and every state is entitled to the constitution, which is declared the supreme law, and the Judicial power of the United States is that organ and independent branch of the government whose duty and right it is, to pronounce and execute the law.
Whenever a question arises, which is law? what is the law? whether it arises out of doubtful or conflicting acts of the Legislature; or between the words and provisions of the Legislative, the judicial department decides the controversy.
If one side insists upon the act of congress and the other upon the act of the people as contained in the constitution, the judges are required, by the nature of their office, by a positive oath and express articles in the latter instrument to support it as the supreme or governing law; and to reject & declare void whatever is contrary to it, in the act of the Legislative body, or other authority, subordinate to the constitution.
It can be said, that the judges may err, and determine measures and acts to be contrary to the constitution which are not so.
Certainly the judicial department may decide wrong. All human tribunals are liable to error. The executive may err, and the Legislative often err. But there must be somewhere, a power to determine what is the law of the land, and merely to settle, and quiet, whether right or wrong legal rights and constructions. Force and the sword, or some civil jurisdiction must finally adjust these domestic controversies.
Wise and free people, with free forms of Government, have confined this important, but essential power to their judicial institutions.
They endeavor to compose those institutions of their most experienced or learned men. These they render permanent in office and ensure to them fixed and adequate compensation while they behave well. In short they render them independent of hope or fear; and as free from undue influence, at the lot of mortality will admit. They subject them to trial, loss of office and disgrace for misconduct. With so many public precautions to ensure wisdom and perfect rectitude, and with many motives operating upon the judges to act well, human society can frame no higher security for the preservation of justice and the laws. Error, with all these
guards against it, may possibly after every grade of revision and appeal, be ultimately sanctioned by the SUPREME COURT of the union. This will indeed but rarely happen, yet, because there must be some umpire, to settle "what is law" the judicial branch, in the last resort, is that which decides without appeal.
The people, indeed, by a constitutional act, may, if the occasion demands it, correct an error even here. But until then, every department, every officer, every citizen of the United States, is bound to yield to the sentence of the judicial department, judicially declaring what is the law.
If we look only into the constitution for one moment, and see the various checks and limitations upon legislative power, and in favor of the states and citizens, all declared to be the supreme law of the land, and consider, for a moment, the nature of the judicial power, to which is expressly delegated the right of deciding all questions arising under the constitution and laws of the United States; and that without this power in the judiciary to extend to the states and citizens the benefits of the constitution as a supreme law, they can only be obtained through force and blood; no rational doubt can be entertained, that it is the right, and indeed the honest duty of the judges, if convinced that a law of congress is opposed to the laws of the people, as enacted in the constitution, to pronounce it, for that reason a nullity and void.
These are my views of the judicial power. I never entertained the least scruple upon this point; considering it as clear as the constitution itself. Judicial determinations, too, of the highest authority, have placed this question, or ought to have placed it, at rest. On the peninsular law, the judges of the supreme court agreed, that it was unconstitutional, and congress, acquiescing in the determination repealed so much as was by them held void.
On the carriage tax, the question was brought, by a citizen of Virginia, before the supreme court, on the very point, that the law was unconstitutional. The judges determined it was not contrary to the constitution? but their power and right to determine otherwise were never questioned; and they affirmed the law, not on the ground that they were obliged to execute a law of congress, but on the principle of its conformity and being pursuant to the constitution.
These are the general grounds and reasonings upon which my judgment is founded, that the act of congress of the 8th March, and 29th of April, 1802, do not abolish the offices of the judges, under the law of the 13th of February, 1801. I hold those acts, so far as they are designed to abolish the offices of those judges, void, because directly contrary to the constitution of the United States, which establishes them in the judges when once created and vested, during their good behaviour.

CALLENDER & SENATOR MASON.
By this morning's mail, it has been communicated to us by very good authority, that Callender left Philadelphia, in the year 1798, and went to the dwelling of general Stevens Thompson Mason, one of the senators for Virginia, for the purpose of writing the "Prospect before Us"; that the 1st vol. of that work was actually prepared at Mason's, and that the manuscript was examined and approved of by him, Callender went next to Richmond for the purpose of printing this book, under the patronage of the same general Mason.
We consider, says our correspondent, Mason a thousand times more culpable than Callender: in fact he was the chief actor in this detestable drama. The above paragraph is inserted for the express purpose of being extracted into some Virginia paper, that it may meet the eye of Mr. Mason, and if it is not contradicted in a short time we shall presume it to be true, and shall afterwards make such use of it as we think fit.
Callender having summoned Mason as well as Giles to the trial and their having failed to attend, has an "awful squinting." Let them look to it. In the language of Old Prospero,
The charm dissolves apace.
New York Ev. Post.
Extract from the Recorder of the 25th inst. "A great part of the first and second volumes of the Prospect were finished for the press, in the form in which they now stand, under the immediate inspection of General Mason. A large proportion of the materials for the rest of the work was borrowed from his copious collection of all kinds of documents."
"By the bye general Mason did not find it convenient to attend, when he was summoned as a witness upon the Richmond trial. His absence was regretted. He wrote Callender a polite apology. He was prevented as it seems from appearing by bad health, weather, and by business. He did not explain by what ailment he had been so unseasonably overtaken. The badness of the weather did not obstruct the immediate return to Richmond of the deputy marshal; and it is not, at once, perceivable that the roads, which were open to one person, should have been inaccessible to another. The general did not explain by what kind of business he was prevented from appearing in the federal court, and from enforcing the assertions which Callender had made in his name, and by his express authority. The attendance of general Mason was required by that federal constitution which he has taken an oath to support, and which like many eminent Republican characters, he professedly and irrevocably despises. To repeat this truth does not amount to the disclosure of a secret. WHATEVER I may think of the constitution , is an expression ascribed to the general in a debate during the last session of congress."
CHARACTER OF MISTER DUANE, Written by himself; published in the Aurora of yesterday; and subscribed with his own name.
In the Aurora of the 18th inst. we are favored with M ister Duane's "Letter III" to Callender. Mr. Duane com-
mences his letter by a rhetorical flourish, in which he attempts to overwhelm his adversary with a sense of his inferiority, & to give him a deep impression of the honor done him by the humility of such a man as himself condescending to notice him. For this purpose M ister Duane gives us the following character of himself, which we extract in his own words, for the entertainment of our readers. We earnestly invite some poetical correspondent to throw it into measure, and have it sung to some tune. "We love a ballad but even too well, if it be doleful matter merrily set down, or a very pleasant thing indeed, and sung lamentably;" or as M opra says in the play, "We love a ballad in print, for then we are sure they are true."
Now Callender, read; and never again, while you live, venture to open your mouth against such a man.
"One possessed of the estimation of good men, whose public and private character is invulnerable to the assaults of all that is profligate in the country; one enjoying all that is desirable of domestic blessing, in the meridian of a life, often clouded, but never corrupt. ed by adversity—whose mind or body never suffered from the contagion of debauchery" [very well! we feared he was going to say "of a public jail"—very well]—"can look at his offspring without reproach—who has no pangs of conscience to annoy his pillow." [Whose consciences are flared as with a hot iron—New Testament.] "No domestic duties disregarded—no parental and conjugal obligations forfeited even in the last gasp of created misery, and on the verge of a premature grave"
Alas! Alas! that we should be kept in ignorance of those who "created misery" for this incomparable man! and that we should not be informed where and on what occasion it was, that the world was so near losing all this virtue by means of a cruel gallows and a "premature grave"
Now, gentle reader, what do you imagine could induce this paragon of virtue, in the meridian of life, enjoying all that is desirable of domestic blessing, to stoop from this enviable height upon which M ister Duane has placed himself, and to condescend to notice such a man as Callender? Why, truly, the most patriotic of all possible motives. You shall hear it in his own words, as addressed to Callender.
"I conceive it to be an obligation which my situation and the CONFIDENCE OF A GREAT PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY imposed on ME, to undertake the irksome duty of making you better known than you are at present!"
More in the same strain. "He (Mr. Banks) should know, as well as yourself, that I am superior to your united censure by the tenor of my private life, as you are imprudent [don't ask for the meaning of this] and unsuited by your's to assail ME. As for yourself, the ground I stand on is too elevated for your approach; the remainder of your life (if its tenure is not shortened by debauchery) devoted to penitence, temperance and probity would not bring you back from the immense depths to which a course of vice has sunk you below ME."
Risum teneatis, amici? —Already we see our readers rubbing their eyes and exclaiming; why, who have we here! hats off!—Be quiet, friends; it is the same fellow you at first supposed, William Duane—it is indeed: you need not be alarmed; his name is subscribed to the whole of it.—Surely, you cry, this man who is now elevated to such a monstrous height, cannot be the same Duane who about seven years ago fled to this country to take refuge from the laws of his own; who mistook a summons from Sir John Shore, to surrender himself a state prisoner, for an invitation to breakfast with his excellency, instead of finding a breakfast, found himself exported from the country in irons; who since his residence here has been horse-whipped for his unmanly insolence; and who, within twelve months has suffered an ignominious punishment in the public jail of this city for violating the laws of the country which affords him protection. Surely, it will be said, this cannot be the man who is now vaunting of the obligations which his situation, and the confidence of the community impose upon him.—Yes, reader, rely upon it he is the very same; and all this need not give you surprise if you will call to mind, that
within six months after he found himself secure, upon our shores, from the avenging laws of his own country, he assumed the name of Jasper Dwight, and addressed to the immortal WASHINGTON, then president of the United States, a printed letter, in which he applied to General WASHINGTON a language very similar to that in which he now addresses Callender, and charged him with the same kind of debasement and immorality.—Take the following, extracted from the 34th page of that letter as a specimen.
"Would to God! you had retired to a private situation four years ago, while your public conduct threw a veil of sanctity round you, which you have yourself rashly broken down, your fame would have been safe, your country without reproach, and I should not have the mortifying task of pointing out the blind temerity with which YOU come forward to defend the religion of Christ, who exist in the violation of the most SACRED OBLIGATIONS, of the dearest ties of HUMANITY, and in defiance of the sovereign calls of MORALITY and LIBERTY."
Such is the modest manner in which, a few months after his importation, and while he was known only to those who employed him at daily labor, he condescended to address the President of the United States, the father, and (under Providence) the saviour of his country.—Who then can be surprised at the importance and elevation which he now assumes, while reaping under Jefferson, the reward of that labor which he bestowed in cankering the fame of Washington?

Of Mr. Wm. Peckham, Baltimore, and now ready for sale, at R. & J. Gray's Book-Store, and this office.
A NEW DRAMATIC WORK, Of that species of composition usually denominated,
ALLEGORICAL MASQUE.
Written in blank verse, and observing throughout, that sort of doctrine which is contained in the Arabian Nights Entertainment, or in Spencer's Fairy Queen, viz. the idea of genius, and social spirits of inferior order.
This dramatic, allegorical, and political masque will evidently prove, on perusal, to be, as it were a thin, transparent veil of allegory, thro' which the reader will very easily view the most important events in the rise, progress and termination of the late war between Britain and the United States of America.
It is printed on fine paper, with an excellent type, and consisting of five very long acts: in all, containing about 130 large octavo pages.
DRAMATIS PERSONAE.
AMERICANA, Genius of America, A great and powerful spirit, residing, "since young creation's birth," on the utmost summit of the Alleghany mountain.
GALLIANA, Genius of France, A mighty spirit presiding over the Gallic nation
ELUTHERIA, Goddess of Liberty.
Formerly friend and intimate companion of Britannia, genius of Britain; but having been disgusted at something a little tending toward tyranny, in the conduct of her friend Britannia, she (Elutheria) flies from Britain, and alighting on the top of the Alleghany mountain, throws herself, for protection, into the arms of Americana. Need the reader be told that Americana immediately granted an asylum to this charming Goddess?—that she did, that she does, and that she will for ever protect her from all her foes?
THIRTEEN INFLUENCING GENII, Residing in the Air, and presiding over the thirteen United States,
ETHURIUS, Commander in chief of Americana and Galliana's united aerial legions.
FULMENIFER, A long tried and faithful servant of Americana, who, after having been in France to solicit the assistance of Galliana, accompanies both her & Elutheria, in their aerial flight from Europe to America.
JELEMMO, Chief of the virtuous spirits who attend upon Americana, and reside in her pavilion.
ARIANTHUS, Another spirit of the same character, residing likewise in the pavilion of his queen. (Respublica Regina)
TYPHON, Genius of tyranny, & FAS- TIDO; Genius of Pride, Pretended friends to Britannia, and to Virtue, but secretly her greatest foes. Powerful magicians—open and professed enemies to Americana and her divine friend Elutheria.
VESPERIA, Chief of the female spirits who attend on the person of Americana.
HYBLA, Chief of the mountain nymphs,
TINIORETTA, Chief of the Hemmed yacs, or wood nymphs.
OFFA, Chief of the Gnomes, or mischievous spirits.
MUSIDORUS, The only Mortal who appears in the piece, an ancient hermit, long residing in the most unfrequented part of the Alleghany mountain, who, having been decoyed by the mischievous Gnome, Offa, up to the summit of the mountain, to that sacred spot inhabited by the Genius of America; she, in regard to the good mortal's many virtues, commands her servants to perform the Allegorical Masque, "more for his information than amusement," as the old man was totally ignorant of the wonderful revolution which happened in his native land, during his long seclusion from the world.
THIS WORK IS ENTITLED.
AMERICANA;
OR
A NEW TALE of the GENII, And is most respectfully inscribed to Thomas Jefferson; who, had he never been President of the United States, the new Tale of the Genii, although written one and twenty years ago, would never in all probability, have been published by his most obedient servant,

The subscriber anxious to remove to Georgia in the course of the ensuing fall, offers for sale,
A TRACT OF LAND
within the District of Columbia, containing nearly 500 acres.
This properly is pleasantly situated, nearly central between Alexandria and George-Town, and within a mile and an half of the Potomac—the advantage of a considerable proportion being heavily wooded, and its proximity to three flourishing cities, render it valuable. So desirous am I, to execute my plans, that, to effect a sale, I will make a considerable sacrifice; to accommodate, I will divide it into lots of any size, and a small proportion of the purchase money being paid, a lengthy credit on the balance will be given. I will take negroes for the whole or any part of it.—Should I not dispose of it, before the first of October, on that day, I shall publicly offer it for sale at the Coffee-House in Alexandria.
