lhe United States Judiciary,

Among the relics of the late T11oMAs
PAINE, is the project of an amendment to
the constitution of the United States, re-
sPect'ng the Judiciary. He proposes
- That after the words as they now stand
;sp ; the article, sthe judges Of the supreme

during good behaviour' to add Jut far reas-
ond6fe causes voh;ch ShaH nat be sufficient

The above deserves serious considerati-
on. Such is the force of prejudice, that The
grossest misconduct viii receive the conn-
'enance and almost the appreciation of "a.
vorite partizan. BY the constitution, with
the appreciation of one e.third of the senate,
the Judiciary oflhe u. S. are above control.
| ne most odous practices, or cYirnina! com.
binations, may characterize a Judge, and,
with that exception, there is legitimate au.
thority to take cognizance OF their crimes.
The prevailing spirit Of party deprires men
OF candor, and. in, lhe eyes of sanguinary
partizans, transforms guilt into innocence.
At the time of judge Chase's impeachment,
to learn mans opinion of the accusations
alisdgea against him, We need only have en-
CURED his sentiments. The subject, we re.
peat, deserves consideration. We have
barely promised the outlines, and shall leave

Extract from Coz. 1Iombkias' Speech to
the Legislature Of Nes0 70rk.
"Ihe nations of Europe have Perseversd,
during the past year, in their sanguinary
struggle, with increased animosisy. Whole
districts of country have been desols,ed {;
kingdoms subugated, aud hosts Of limo.
cent subjects sacrificed. These occurren.
ces prssen, mourntul picture Of the rapa.
city and ambition Of princes, whilst they
afford a mQnitory lesson TO the American
people. The situation Of the United States
has been, 10 the mean. time, comparatively
happy and enyiable for it hath pleased the
great disposer of events to ordaiu peace in
our borders, and to crown Jour ear with
goodness.
1.-THE property Of the nation, howe.
YER, has not been uninterrupted. Coptect.
ed as the u. STATES, are by commsreisi in.
tereourse, with other nations, we could not
avoid feeling the shock of tho eontending
powers. AT an earlyipcriod it was fear.
cd, that our commerce would experience
material impedinents from widely sx.
sendsd foreignwsr aud more especially
as one Ofthe grta. beIIigerenss controlled
the destinies OF the European continent,
and the other possessed the mesus of
dominsering upon the ocesn. But their
professions Of respect for the rights of O.
thers,, and their ayowed honage to tbs au-
thorisy of the law Of nations, forbade us to
anticipate those gigantic strides which have
ovsrleaped the settled principles of public
law, which constituted the barriers between
the caprice, the ayar:ce or the tyranny of
a ;oelligerens, and the rights aud iudepend-
ence of a neutral. 1t would be painful to
dwell upon every aggression, injustice, vi.
