, were at loss to discover where a check
| could possably arise to restrict their ex-

T0cIe 81 tHe dw, C@sarA Rodney, was
sent for and left his seat in Congress to
conduct the prosecution and notwith-
standing all this, a constitutional maio-
rity of the Penns, lvania Senate would
not pronounce the Judges guilty.
Lawyers and Judges have been mar
ked out as particular victims of VEN
geance by this state and the most pr"mi-
nent parts of its Legislative proceedings
have been relative to these members OF
the community. 1t might be supposed,
that experience would have taught its
Legislators better; but they fully ex-
emPlify, how deaf to the voice ofreason
men are, who are under the sway Of po-
litical iana,acism. This state has been
the hot bed Of two Instructions and led
the way in the absurdities of democratic
Juno watt ans, and had the Judges been
dismissed it would have been but few
degrees from the achme Of civil disor-
gani7ation. To the thinking part of the
dominant faction it must owe its politi-
cal salvation. This may perhaps stem
the torrent that has been so inconside-
rstely set in motion. For our part we
cannot torbear observing, that the con-
duct of the eleven members Of the Sc
nate who voted in favour of the Judges,
is highly honorable to them.
Our General Government kas been in
a great measure initiating that infatuated
state. The system of political intoler-
ance, introduced by Mr.. Jefferson, the
fatal blow at the Judiciary and the inn
parchment of Judge Chase convince be-
You'd doubt the prevalence ola similar
spirit in our National Councils.

their seats on the right ofthe court. Up
on Judge Chase being called he appeared
,attcndedoby his counsel, M-ssrs. Mar
i'm, Harper and Hopkinson. The pre-
Asident then informed him that was the
day appointed for him to put in his an
s, r to the articles of impeachment ex-
hibited against him by the House Of Re-
representatives., and asked whether he was
prepared with his answer. Judge Chase
replied that from the shortne>s of the
time allowed he had enly been able to
have a rough draft Of his answer, which
ne requested migh,be suffered to be read
bv himself and his counsel. Leave hav-

1t is stated on authority, which we
believe to be correct that the French
Minister, Mr.. TUrreau, has declared
to our government, that the continuing
to arm our merchant vessels, would be
considered by France as cause of war.
We do not regret that the government
Of France has gone this length, and that
her minister has been thus explicit. 1t
is full time that the question of the Uni

should be satisfactorily settled, and that
their right to self-detence should be
clearly ascertained.

The man who, being citizen of the
United States, should answer that ques-
ton in the affirmative, would deserve to
be impe&ched as Traitor to the soye-

ton that should utter such an intimation
to the Government of France, would re-

Is it within the power Of France to Ii

Can she give protection to our de-
fenceless commerce, or say to our enc

NO-She is herself confined to her

But could she even furnish convoy to
