vi order that you may select and nominate suitable

Upon which subject have only to say, that as it is

people, should endeayour to reRrasenj their rights,
interests aud wishes.
To the first question then answer that in Inv opi-
MON the right of suffrage may and ought to be cx-
tended TO and conferred those who the language
Of the bill OF rights, have permanent common inter-
est with and dttach'acnt 10 the conmundy." From
tins 1t Will properly be inferred that um not in favor
OF universal suffrage,
Secondly, / am IN favor of cuuaiiljnn representa-
ton agreeaby to tire white population of the state;
and believe that such basis predcated ON eouita-
bic and Just principles of government.
Thirdly, have thought heretofore, with due def
erence to the opinions OF Others that the judiciary
branch ofthc government might have been new mod
elicd so rs to have warded of some ofthe evils so
long complained Of and to have promoted the interest
ut the state generally My idea is that whilst the
Judiciary should be Independent the tenure of
oihce, some adequate mode should be devised rem
der them responsible and accountable for neglect of
duty or mal-administraton in Office, and to fix lm-
talon beyond Which ITO Judge should serve and
the organization of the different courts that thinl,
should be left to the Legislature to alter and remodel
from time 20 time as the public convenience may re-
quire.
U2on The last question have heretofore bestowed
not much reflection; and it is Of SO general Il nature
as to require particular consideration. As republi-
can have been in favor Of the people exercising in
person all the powers which necessity or manifest
convenience did not obigc them to delegate to others.
but whether all the executive and ministerial officers
OF the government could he advantaueously elected
by the people is proposition requiring careful inves-
tlgation and n knowledge of the practical effects
which have resulted from the adoption of the pripci-
pie in other states. In relation to il can now only
say that am favorable TO the abstract prcipe be-
cause II IS consonant with my views of government
OF the people, aud that should be prepared to sppIv
1t IN every Case where reason and experience did not
n7nlfesty convince my Judgment that it would be at
tended with great inconvenience or evil to adopt it.
