Ssprems Court.-We are sorry 10
that the Editor Of the Prcv'-
dence Microco,m, in his remarks upon
the doings Of our Supreme Court, has
laid bis sarcasms SO thick upon its Nh
offending members. These gentlemen
are not 80 blamable as the body tha'
snve them the name Of Judges. and
consigned to them our liberty aud our
li;es. No man can be exPected''or 'he
ssm of too hundred dollars to devote
the whole Of bis time to any calling f;
and no man can fiji the Office Of Su-
preme Judge, with the dignity which
belongs to that high and sacred station
il he must descend from the Bench,
doE his ermine and minglc with the
mass of people who are striving by
Sosvsr and ART to support themselves and
families, and amass fortune for their
descendants. A man who has spentthe
flower Of his youth in acquiring law
education. and his ripper years in ma
turing ajudgment on the difficult points
in equi.y-..in furnishing himself with
a library, will hardly be prevailed up
on to take place upon our judicial
seats, for the. sum which is now rece'v'
ed by the members Of the bench and
from which they are liable to be re-
moved at the will Of faction.
Our Judges are good men and true
they are the republican citizens ofa
republican country such men as have
given to Us character for honesty and
uprightness but they ore not lawyers'
nor will they ever be; they may never
hope to shine 10 the halls Of justice, fo'
their talents are not Of a legal turn or
their farms they are at home in the'l
cornfelds they will do honour to thu
husbandman, but from the midst OF thel
fiocks and herds, from their dairy room
and granery. they may not presume t
4 step into the temple ofjustice and pre-
side there with honour to themselves o
to the state. They may not presum
to lay aside the implements Of husbar
dry. and use with equal skill the vo
ume Of legendary lore, or trace the la"
and customs Of the ancients tliroug
their various tnrnings, and deal out
the oppressed hatjustice which is the
due.
We believe that the members of tn
Rhode.Island Courts, fulfil, to the be
of their knowledge and abilities thei
several stations, and taat the inhabi'
ants of this state receive as much ju
tice as the money which they pay for
would buy in any Of the sister states.
sIlesve you here little slip for you to 10
upon,

The Providence people have at lens
found new hobby, and are giving
enlargement 10 one Master Hubbard
clipper Of profiles, who has oflate be
amusing the ladies and gentlemen
that place, by cutting, at single stro
Of his scissors, the exact outline of tn
features. This is rather the most r
sonable manner of taking money fr
the publick pocket that has come to
knowledge. I, is good to leave bch
US memorial, to remind our child
ofthe length Of their fathers chins
noses ; it is good to have some mem
to of olden time, and we know Of n
better calculated to freshen in
minds of our descendants the recol
ton of the commercial embarrassm
OF their ancestors, than n sketch of

to be met with in our commercial to,
