any tune enter with reluctance: certainly

~ that interesting crisis, when Hardy.
rookie, ihelwa!l and others, were in
ohcted Tor treason, chief Justice Fyr.
was aided and supported BY four associ-
ace Judges OF high talents and character.
AZ would, have no doubt, in that cou1-
try be matter of surprise, if any per-
son, whatever might be his station in
the judiciary, should undertake to settle
great and novel point on a question OF
commitment. Although in the United
States our system does not admit Of y

docs admit OF carrying a doubtful ard
important point before the supreme
court; and l. should not feel myself ius-
tihed, were / now to give an opinion an
hcipating such measure.
shall therefore consider this motion
as II no verdict had been rendered for
either of the parties.
Both charges are supported by the

From the evidence which details that
transaction, 1T appears that from sixty to
one hundred men, who were collected
from the upper parts Of the Ohio under
the direction OF Tyler and Flovd. had
descended the river, and reached the
mouth OF Cumberland about the 25th Of
December, 1906. The next dav thew
went on shore, and formed line, reDre-

lhey demeaned themselves in peace
able and orderly manner. No act OF vi
olehce was committed, nor was any out
rage ON the laws practised. There was.
no act CT disobedience to the civil au-
thorlty, nor were there any military an
Pearances. There were some arms. and
some boxes which might or might not
contain arms. There were also some
implements ofhusbandrv, but they were
purchased at the place. These men as
sembied under contracts to settle a coun-
try on the Red river. No hostile OH
yects were avowed and a Ter continu-
ing. day OF two on an island !, the
mouth OF the river, the party proceeded
down the Ohio.
mere are some circumstances in this
transaction, which are calculated to ex-
cite attention and to awaken susnicion.
II the exclusive object of those who
composed tins meeting, was to settle
Lands, 1t would naturally form the sub
Ject OF public conversation, and there
would most probably have been no i'm
pedlment to a free communication re-
spcctng If. The course Of the human
mind would naturally lead to such COM
munlcatlons. The silence observed bv
the leaders on the subject, connected
with hints of Interior views, seems cal
culated to impress OH the minds of the
people themselves, that some other pro-
Ject was contemplated, and was proba-
oiy designed to make that impression.
hat the men should have been armed
with rifles, was to be expected had their
single object been to plant themselves
on the Ouachita; but the musket and
bayonct are perhaps not the species of
arms winch are most usually found in
our frontier settlements nor were the
individuals who were assembled, of that
description of persons who would most
naturally be employed for such a pur-
pose. The engagement for six months
too, is a stipulation for which it is diff
cut to account upon the principle, that a
settlement OF lands was the sole or prin-
CIDdl object in conter,D1,+;~.

sfenl Oh Wllicn thOSc OBJECTS
depended was certain, or nearly certain,
need not determine but can scarcely
suppose 1t possible that itwouid be con-
tended by any person, that the transac-
TONS at the mouth of Cumberland do. in
themselves, amount to an act of levyinc
war. There was neither an act Of hos
eliIty committed, nor any intention to
commit such act avowed.
Very early in the proceedings which
preceded this motion, declared the o.
plnlon that war might be levied without
battle, or the actual application Of
force to the object on which it was de-
signed to act; that body of men assem-.
bled tor the. purpose of war, and beino.
IN posture of war, do levy war and
from that opinion L have certainly felt
no disposition to recede. But the iI,ten-
ton is an Indispensable ingre dient in the
composition OF the fact and if war.
may be levied without striking the
blow, the intention to strike must he
plainly proved.
o prove this intention, the prosecu-,
tor tor the United States offers evidence
OF conversations held by the accused, or
some OF them, with various individuals.
at different times, relative to the views
which were entertained, and the plans
which had been formed and of certain
facts which took place after leaving the
mouth OF Cumberland. For ALTHOUGH
1t was decided not to be within the now
er OF this court to commit for trial in 2
territory OF the United States, vet every
transaction within territory has been
given IN evidence, in the expectation
that such testimony might serve to ex-
PLAIN the meeting at the mouth of Cum
berland, and because it was believed to
be proper for an examining magistrate
to receive it.
That conversations Or actions at
different time and place, might be given
IN evidence as corroborative of the overt
act OF lcvylng war, after that had been
proved IN such a manner as to be left to
jury, never doubted Tor an instant ::
but that IN case where the intent could
not be inferred from the fact, and was
not proved by declarations connected
with the fact, among which l should in
clude the terms under whinh those who
composed the assemblage were conven.

FREQUENT attempts haze been made,
and it is likely others will be made, to pro-
cure alterations in the charter of the Ca
nal, suitable to the views of that Interested
or contracted policy, which has been alrea-
DIV noticed. Besides which it has been al
lodged by the advocates for change that
the expenses, necessary to mplcte the
, Locks, will impose burthen too heavy for
private interests, and far greater than was
expected when the company was incorpc-
rated: and this is supported by the deiu-
sive objections of giving passages through
the locks, to boats of the burthens already
described. These objections have been
heretofore partially answered, and now
few other remarks will be added.
If the strict fulfilmcnt of the contract will
he oppressive to the stock holders, and it
can be so demonstrated, or shall appear in
the sequel to be so-the community ought
not to insist upon rigid compliance, with
out affordipg or Offering reasonable relief
or modification. When therefore it is adj
vRnced by me, that the company ought to
be required to complete the locks accord
ing to former remarks, it is predicatcd up
on the idea that the tolls should be increa-
sed in a commensurate degree, if not equal
TO the portage, at least equivalent to the
extra cost or that after allowing a rea-
sonable percentage upon the capital em-
ployed by the company, the over-plus should
pass into the public treasury.
BY these or other notifications equally
liberal, iniuries will either be obviated or
cod ttifffr,afr fucfic III
secured between the public and indiyidu-
ais.
If, however. the company shall resolve to
admit Of no modification, whereby the pub
lie interests may be advanced and proteC-
ted-it will be altogether improper to med
die with them until the forfeiture is COM
plcte. Pertinaciousness on their part will
justify rigor on the other, and the forfeiture
whenever it shall happen, ought 20 be clai-
med and enforced-but even then, / would
not recommend a complete destruction Of
private interests, merely because tho affairs
Of the company had been committed TO uu-
skilful or obstinate agcnts-The hu6Ec
ought meter TO be enriched by the means
Of hriUGfe misfortune.
will here dismiss this part Of the sub
ioct with few short and plain declarati-
ons. The communication to tide water, by
the means Of locks, is provided for by the
law and reason as well as justice require
the complete and speedy execution. Pub
lie justice ought 20 be done, but not by the
destruction Of private rights or interests
When the rigid execution of the law is eX.
acted, liberal alternatives ought to bC
/ afforded. If the company spurn at these
or similar propositions, they will forfeit al
claim 20 public clemeucy.
