The first charge contains nothing but the

The second item is somewhat cOmieaL New

Let us come to the point

Let us come to the point.
The ground is, that representative
" though chosen by one particular district
when elected and returned, serves for the
zuhoie realm ;" as Blackstone says--:hat
is. he is the representative, not of the mart
that elects him, but of the whole body.-
Thus Senator from this State, in the Con-
gress of the u. States, is not Representa-
tive Of Virginia, but of ALL the States.
And the reason of this rule is. saws Black
stone, because representative is not " bare
ly to advantage his constituents but the con,-
observation-disclosures he is not bound tn
take the advice of his constituents upon anv
particular point"
But this reason fails because it would v,,
remain to be proved, that on any particular
point, connected with the common veal. tn,
advice or ohinton or will of his constituents
is not to be taken, instead of his own. MAY
THEY not Cast their eyes over the whole
map, & judge OF the common weall What
hinders the Legislature of Virginia from be-
ing as good Judges on the constitution OF he
u S. as either of their Senators 3-.The
rule, therefore, fails-because it on,ta one
of the most important cases, to which II
could be applied.
Whence the very term, Representative ?
"A man who reftreSentS another-one who
stands IN his place--who acts for him.
But should the constituent give A sDeci
al power OF attorney to hi sAgent now can
the latter be said to represent or act for hin,
it his powers are denied, and his ins,ructi
ons disobeyeds
Let US pass from names to Mings---9hat
is the ground OF this representative system ,
Ii is not convenient for the heohie themselves
to meet at some central point for the adj l.
minis ration OF their own concerns--the
space is too large to admit of tit is for
this reason, principally, that thew depute
| person to act tor them.--They are mere
subordinate benefits, that the tumuIt of a
large popular assembly, long in session, is
thus prevented-and that those, whom thew
clothe with authority, have both more
time, and thus in general better lights TO
dischargethe duties of legislation.
The Representative hus serves IL, the
place OF the constituent--he acts as the lat

selves--he 49, as 1t were, great represen ;.
'ative corporatioD-whereve the constitu

acts upon It according to the best of his
Judgment, with an eye to the common good
just IN the same way as the constituent
himself would have done---that is. as if the
whole country we're branched into districts.
! and the people in each district we're to NEE,
collectively and then act upon IT according

daat's at Childrey, where he and two or
three ether persons engaged in extempore
prayer, and sung hymns: and though the act
gives the penalty only against preachers &
teachers who now by the federation act are
exempt on taking the oath-yet the chair
man, lord Landon. after stating that it as
new case, expressed it as his opinion,
that extcmpore prayer included teaching,
and the Jury accordingly found the defen
dant guilty. The proceeding, we under
stand, will be removed by certiorari into

lower order, distinguished BY the names of

cause of their quarrel, and the meaning Of
these titles which they have assumed, have
been hitherto imperfectly understood. The
