Mr.. Chairman, IF no danger is to be
apprehended from the departments of
government, these departments have
much to fear from one common evil.
with which all our institutions are threat
ened-the ambition and folly of young
men who begin to fill our Legislative
houses. The love of distinction is
ruling passion. 1t operates alike in e.
very department and pursuit of life
That thirst for glory by which the young
subaltern is impelIed to court danger.
and to rush into the heat and fury of
battle, is nothing more than the love. Of
distinction. By the same motive is the
youthful hero of political strife actuated.
When first he is elected by the people,
he is resolved to distinguish himself in
their service. Until he takes his seat.
his dreams are those of honour and re-.
nown. AT length he enters the legisla-
tive hall, his pocket filled with PROPOSE.
tons on paper, and his head swimming
with visions. He commences the ca
reer that is to lead him to glory, by a
bold and vigorous attack on the consti-
tutions of his country. He besieges the
ramparts by which the lberly of the
nation is secured and while he sup.
poses he is widening and strengthening
their base, he is scattering their broken
fragments before the tempest of his pas
slons. If you talk to these young he
roes about experience, your words are
thrown away. Refer them no farther
back than to the times and opinions of
their grand-fathers, and their vision is
SO intercepted and perverted by the mist
OF time, that you will be told of the
''deeds OF error and superstition, done
and committed in the dark and benight-
ed ages of antiquity" They fancy their
own time to- be the blessed era of hui
man perfection, and themselves the for
tunate instruments of its influence

che proper time to weaken the judiciary.
DO we not see in one state the most evi.
deut and alarming symptoms of HOSTILE
ty, not only to the federal Judiciary, but
to the system of legal trial by courts and
luries2 In one great state, there is now
IA force an act OF assembly for authoriz-
ing the governor to call out the militia,
~ order to resist the marshal of the u
nlted States III the execution of de-
cree, pronounced by federal district
court, In case where the supreme
court OF errors and appeals of that state
refused to hold cognizance of the cause,
On the ground that its cognizance be-
songed TO the federal courts, and the su-
preme court of the United States has
decided that the federal court has iu-
ElsdlctIon. In the same state dispute
mas subslsted great length of time, be-
tween certain companies and settlers
under them upon their lands. The
state has sold TO the companies and
received the purchase money. 1t has
now In form taken sides with the set
tiers, and lately by a special act ordered
particular court to be holden, and
felgned issues to be made up, by which
the law was, as matter of fact, to be tried
by aJury, and their determination to be
precedent in the like cases. If the
settlers prevail, the consequence will be
that the state will again receive the pur
chase money from them. The supreme
court OF the United States decided a.
Salnst the settlers, and last winter the
legislature Of that state resolved, that
they mad an interest, and therefore the
.Jederdl courts had no cogni&ance of the
causes. This resolution they ordered to
be certified to all the federal Judges and
marshals. We may observe by the pub
lie prints, that resolution'i is now laying
on the table of one house of the legislaz
ture of one of the states, for vcsting II
traverse jurors, in civil cases, the right
to decide on the competency of all wit
neSses brought before them: and doubt
not that if the author of the resolution
knew that it did not embrace the rele-
vancy Of testimony, he would include it
also. There is another state, in which
late law has provided, that lands adver-
tised for sale for the non-pavment OF.

would be obliged to do it or resign.
How stand the judiciaries of these
states That of one is appointed for Sc
ven years at time; and that of the other
is removable on an address from the
legislature, if the governor concurs.-
And If the amendment under consider
alton obtains, he must be ignorant Of
human nature, who can believe these
states will not compel their representa-
| tlvcs to vote for the removal of every
Judge whose opinions thwart their views;
nor do believe the legislature of Ken
lucky would act differently. Our own
citizens own much real property in that
state, and this assembly has heretofore
given unequivocal proof Of it's desire to
preserve this property subject of fede-
raj cognizance. Here then, indepen-
IDENTITY of the operation of party passions
and popular prejudices, are three great
states whose interests impel them to
hostility to an independent federal Judi
ciary.
Let me now enquire of gentlemen,
wherefore they desire this change p
This question they are unable to answer.
| L discover that no two members agree
in opinion, whether any, and what evil
exists, and the manner or mode of eff
fecting remedy. There is fatal "a
greement, that change is necessary
but as to what that change 4shall be,
there Is no agreement. One gentleman
desires to make the federal Judges de-
pendent on the state legislatures; ano-
Their on three fourths of the state legis-
latures another on the people another
on majority of each house of congress
and the president another on these ma
Jorities without the president; another
on two thirds of both houses and an
other on majority of one house and
two thirds of the other. Thus the enc
mics OF judicial independence are uni
ted by no common object or motive.
They are only identified by one COM
mon accident--that diatheseS mutandi
ny which they are infected. While they
act on the probability of corruption in
one department of the government, they
will not admit the possibility of corrup-
ton In another, even as a ground of
argument against them. They forget
that the departments are ideal things.
