will not give il up TO the winds which howl srouns

TO have PEACE.
But it, by acceding to any Of the terms OF com.
promise which have been offered TO us, we had A.
|knowedged (as we might have done) that you,
old Judges are not in Office; il by ihus yotp,
with the hostile party in forcing your judges flom
the bench, in any mode not permitted by your con-
stituton; if by aiding in imposing on you all n.
burthen and confusion of snew court Of div
judges, and also acknowledging, by requiring lbe
old judges to be recommissioned, the constitution.

poyed SO long to deg rade your Judiciary, and suh
vert its constitutional independence and rende. il
subserylent to faction, and the paything of ambi
tion !; if by thus surrende,ng at the moment of
success all the sacred principles Tor which you have
been so long contending, for the petty and unwor
thy purpose of eleyating to the honors and The
emoluments Of Appellate Judges, three of those who
have denied the constitutional creation and inviols.
bty OF the Supreme Court, and thus crown them
with victory, and consecrate their doctrines; fby
these means alone, We can make peace--1IlERE
CAN BE NO PEACE. IF we had thus compro.
missed your will and your constitution, we nigh,
proclaim peace, peace, but there would be no peace
Such peace would be the peace of death--the death
of your constitution OF the hopes which it inspires
and the liberty which it secures. Your govern.
ment will never be guided by reason, until the head
of your Judiciary, placed firmly on the emnence
raised for it by the constitution shall be able to hold
up JUSTICE to the rich and the poor, as if placed
on the islhmus between conflicting elements, dis.
pense her impartial awards unawed by the storms
that ragc below, and mistaken by the waves that
break at its base. TO secure this great object has
been our only aim--this is our only hope-and Ior
our endeayours for success in such cause we have
been charged by the organ Of the opposing parry
with "knayery and hypocrisy" We shall not d..
grade ourselves or insult your dignity by re,ort
You can LOOK DOWN all opposition Your
Voice stay the pnrricidal arm and redeem your
constitution from this fiery ordeal, unhurt. Do
your duty stafd TO your integrity do not be drawn
from your ground; the g new COURT will soon tS.
pire for want of NOURISHMENT,a and your con.
s'itution will resume its sway, and good old times
will soon return. But suffer your selves to be aar.
med wearied into naction allow your consitu.
tion to be battered away by your public agents;
| compromise the sacred principles which you have
already consecrated, or leave them unsettled, and
then will you have no safety, no peace, consilu.
tion Having done all that We could do, we submit
the issue to COD and the PEOPLE.
