LETTER II.

The administration of Justice is intended for the
determination and enforcement OF 1ight between
man and man Is the object effected by the prevail
ing system and practice in our Courts! This is the
second question for consideration.
Men will differ in opinion as to the correctness
of judicial decisions and doubtless, they are often
incorrect. This difference, however, chiefly hap
pens among persons OF unenlightencd reason. Su-
perior minds perceive the truth or error OF them
without disagreement. Accurate conclusions, as TO
eral rights, depend almost entirely on the sound
understandings and intelligence oil the judges. They
govern the lures as to the provisions OF the law.
Are these Judges selected with sufficient discrimi-
nation Are they not too frequently appointed from
individual popularity. from the influence oil personal
interest with the appointing authorities, and from
the Recommendation of the gentlemen OF the bar,
from among whom they are generally taken, and
who by recommending lawyer for judgeship,
expect to obtain his practice do not wish to re-
fine TOO much IN this particular but certainly too
great degree oil crcumspection cannot be obseTv-
4 ed in selecting the persons upon whose mental
faculties, in eminent degree, depends the tenure

sent plan, calculated TO promote the administration

From this the citizens might be measurably relieved

who, knowing the provisions OF the law, would un
necessarily commit the mseves into the hands OF the
attorneys And the lawyers OF genuine proolty, ant

their practice became purified from quirks and qnio
