to fubdue all the surrounding nations, but this
being done there was an end of the republic"
The Preach republic, if it ever merited that
name was more completely extinguilhed by
Buonaparte than The Roman by Cellar. Though
Roman was obliged to Preferve the forms,
while h: abeilhed the fushance; Buonaparte,
a foreigner in France, has aboihed every
thing, and prefcribed new contribution, con-
centrating all power in himIelf, and compel
led the French people to adopt it.
The arts of the Romans did as much as
their arms towards the cofqueR Of the world"
Whatever people withdrew their allegianey
from their owa government were Immediately
acknowledged as allies Of Rome--lo that no
government could rely on its own iuejetfs and
if any city was left free, there was conaantIy
maintained in it, faction who held the nom
frous ioarine--that the will of Rome was the
only law.

The houfe went into committee of the
whole on the Judiciary Bill.
Sect, 4Sth, under confederation, which
is as follows:
Sect. 48. And belt further enaaed.
That each of TIKI circuit Judges of the u.
States to be appointed ~ virtue Of this
act, hall be allowed as compensation for
M, iervices, an annual falary of two thou
ianddollars, to be paid quarter yearly at
the Treafury of the United States; and
that the falaries of the ditriA Judges of
Maine, New Hampfhire, Rhode-Iiland,
Connecticut, Vermont, New-Jerfey, De-
laware, Georgia, Kentucky, and Ten
n~eiice, fhall be-. and hereby are, augment
ed to the like fun of two thoufand dollar.
annually, I Q be paid in like Manner"
Mr.. Gregg moved to Rrike out 1ooo
dollars and to iniert 1000 dollars.
Mr.. Claiborne declared himfelf in "a
yor Of the motion. He confdered aooo
dollars as too high a compensation. In
the fate which he repreiented (Tennel-
iee) it would be ~immoderate. The bill
eftabliihed three circuit courts for Ken
lucky and Tennefee, the judges of which
would receive 6ooo dollars, which was a
larger FUN than the total amount Of the
exPences Of the government of Tennefee.
The judges of the fupreme court of Ten.
neiiee receive but 500 dollars each and
the prefcnt federal Judge received only
900 dollars. The duties which the fede-
raj Judges would have to difcharge, would
not equal thofe of the fate judges. Such
an exorbirant falary would be difreninp
to the fate Of TenneAee. It would either
leilenthe refped Of the citizens for their
W judges, or route their pride to afford
them ~ialaries, equal to thofe of the fede-
raj judges, even to their own opprcfion.
As therefore fuch an expenditure would
exhibit an ~initance of hameful p~rofuion
Of public money, and would deeply wound
the intereRs of his fate, he would give
his decided vote againR it..
Mr.. Otis, perfuaded that if the iudici-
airy were not filled with men of the fra
talents and integrity, the fyfem we are
now deviiing would be injurious inAead
of being beneficial, was oppofed to the
motion. Talents Of this order were not
to be obtaining for a fmall compensation.
The FUN ProPofed in the bill, as far as
his knowledge extended, was not greater
than that now allowed in the hyperion fate
courts. In his part Of the country, a
leier compensation 70 men qualified to de-
eide thoie great and intricate q~ueifions,
which often Came before them, would be
deemed 2 hameful parfimony.
AS to the idea Of discriminating the
compensation of different judges, he
(thought the benefits to be derived from it
were trivial compared with the evils it
would create.
Grant that the effect Of this bill will be
the afFording a higher compensation to the
federal judges than is at prefent made to
thofe Of the fates. The effect he thought
would be q good one. It would operate

MIR. Gallatin moved the qualification of
electors to be frecifly the fame as rovided
in the contribution of Maryland.
MIR. S. Smith wiihed the fun of SO dol
lars property to be truck out and left
blank, which would be afterwards filed.
He fad that So dollars, at the period that
infrumey.t was made, was equal to 80 at
this time.
Mr.. Dennis oppefed t! amendment,
even with the propoied mod fcation. This
would be very little differel from universal
outrage, for all would fay they were wcrsh
this property and give a fort of proof
it, if required.
Mr.. Harper moved to amend the amend
ment to read being an houie keeper, and
having taxable property to the amount of
100 dollars in the difritt, to be a!certain-
ed by the rates of Allotment, made imme
diately preceding the time of Offering to
VOTE" Though he was not perfectly con-
WINGED of the propriety of extending the
right of outrage to any perfcn not free
holder, he would however, from the con-
liberation that there might be many men
poh-iling trades, warehouses and families,
to whom :his right might be extended with
out Inconvenience. AS for the poneiion
Of any certain fun, how was it to be afcer-
tanned 1t was in fast to extend it to un
r.. Piled people, whillt poor horelt men
were excluded, becauie they were not 70
abandoned as to perjure themfelves. But
it would alto be liable to make many men,
in times of high party, and when their
minds became much inhan,ed, to think
thcmielves jufihable to come forward to
vote, when actually not qualified. Thus
the really honef part OF the community,
who alone ought to be reprefented, are
overcome by this horde ofintruders, whole
qualifications are inadequate and ought to
be 70. He wifhed it to be extended to
every man who had indultry fuflicient to
procure fome taxable property: he wifhed
every man who had a wife and family to
defend, ifhe had economy enough to pro-
cure fome property, to have a vote but
he did nor with every man who would /qpeay
himfelf worth 90 or 100 dollars, to have
the privilege, becaufe it inevitably fubjed-
ed the poll to characters who never ought
to have vote, and defroyed the influence
which a majority of honeR men ought to
have.
Were any amendment to be necefary, it
fhould be fomething Of this fort, but he
was for himielf contented with the qualifi :
cation i'll the law. What man, he aiked,
was there in the community, who ought
to have influence in its government, whole
indufry and economy could not enable him

pats round an hundred dollars from pocket
to pocket at the pole, by which many may
vote according to the qualification propof
ed. 1t was farther to be recolletted that
they were not leginating for merely few
families, or for few houies, but for the
introduction of a government to a growing
city, where the clalh of i:tereit called loud
ly for judicious arrangement of the laws.
lie would ak what honea, what indufri-
Gus man could there be in this territory,
who, having family or trade, would
rot rent houfe, if not own one, and pof-
ie;s 90 dollars worth of taxable property
to fach he would be willing to extend the
rights of outrage, and fome fuch evidence
as the ahehors books would he require, but
no farther.
MIR. Nicholas aiked if this motto,
which entirely deRroyed the principle OF
MIR. Gallatin's amendment, could be in
order.
The chairman faid it was, inannuch as
1t did not propofe to erafe every word OF
the amendment.
Mr.. Nicholfon acknowledged and re-
GREETED the practice of which the gentle
man complained, but although fome evils
might have refulted from admitting per-
ions upon their own depohtion, they were
not 70 ferrous as Withholding the right
of outrage from thofe whole right it was.
He did not, therefore, admit of the good
nefs of the remedy propofed. The bsa
remedy he knew of was, the admiilion of
Indifferent tefimony of the qualification
Of the perlon offering to vote. He
would feriouny ak the gentleman whe-
Their there were not perfons Of ten or TWEEN
ty times the worth of 100 dollars, who
were never aneded at all What was the
firuation Of the merchant or Of the tradef-
man, who, though perhaps worth 10000
dollars, are not poheacd of any taxable
property; for neither houfehold furniture,
flock in trade, flock in the banks, nor
implements of trade are taxed: yet this
perfon is not permitted to vote He
granted that this might be renedied in one
way-a perfon thus ftuated might pur-
chafe fome taxable property, on purpoie
to put himfelf on the anefinent looks, but
this is compulGon which ought not TO
be made.
Mr.. Craik exprened his appreciation Of
the amendment, as removing what with
fome was thought very ferrous objection
He wifhed to prevent fraudulent prac.
tice. But even as amended, though made
much the better, he lnould vote againft
the whole amendment, bccauie he bcliev-
ed the qualification in the bill very va
luable part oft.
Mr.. Nicholas mentioned fome objec-
tions on account of the Auefuating and un-
certain fpecies of taxes which would be
laid in this diRrift, which produced fome
dcfultory obiervations between him and
