that We are benefited by the measure.
'rhs judiciary is another source of com

man in the I nited States who would wish
to extend this department Of OUT govern

MUMMY Ie who attend oer courts, and

OF America depended on an extension OF

fortunate in not being obliged TO pass't
ordeal OF law suit, otherwise the evidence
would have been too forcible- ON his mind
and purse to admit doubt as to the pro-

remark, let the viii Of Was rington speak,
as 'le therein declares, that all contYover-
sizes, rs they related TO his estates, should
"oe decided by three impartial and disin-
terested men," This is the deliberate

10 shev the unreasouableness of the
attack on President Je{Ierson's conduct. let
MS suppose that he had been at the head of
the administration the last four wears that
the public debt had increased, though tk-
revenue had been so abudantly productive
rom the E'TOpean war; that he had rails
ed an army evidently unnecessary at the
period of It's establishment; that lie had
burthened the citizens with excuses, sters,
duties, and dire@ tax; that he had boy
rcwed money at the unprecedented inte-
rest 81 per cent that ne had preserved
