peri,y will not beendangered by the real or
supposed injustice and oppression OF a
state court over which the United States
have no controul, either by directing the
principles Of decisions or by correcting
any errors of judgment.
The committee, therefore, Believe that
the powers of the federal judicial court,

ratification of the proposed amended,
, ought to be retained by those courts
That these powers are essential parts OF
the federal constitution, and are necessary
for preserving harmony. aud mutual conf.
dence among the several states and for
maintaining the peace, the honor, and the
justice of the United States.

ments the committee ask leave reereport
