Tho Supreme Court oil the United St.ur,
commenced lis annual session yesterday All IN.
Judges, with the exception Of Judge Johnston.
were present. The court has assembled under
very peculiar aud trying circumstance. Her.
tofore il has mel, with thu certainty that i,s or
ders, judgments and DEGREES, would be carried
into effect by the executive branch Of the gov
ernment. however much they might conflict
with the interests. rrjudice, or prcl,ossessions
OF the parties, or tho states. II has now mce
with u full knowledge that the Executive
will not enforce its decisions. il they are coua-
ter to his views OF constitutional law. I sneak
| within bounds, when say there are two thou,
sand lawyers 10 the United States, the opinion
Of any one OF whom would DO sooner consul
| ted on q legal or Constitutional question, than
| that OF tho President, aud yea he will exercise
his discretion in relation to the first udicisl til.
bunsl ksown TO the coosiitution.-hr. Ingha IA
| is said TO bo the only member oil the cabinet
Who doe. not believe in tue supremacy of the
| President, ans who would not advise him 70
sei<he law at de6auce; II II stood IN the way OF
accomplishing political views The court has
| met with knos ledge that II viii be violently
asssiIed in the House vi Representatives, nnd
| that an attempt will be made to deprive It of
|
| Slilutouaiiy Of state laws. The Speaker ap-
pointed for the first time, this session, major
lty Oh the Judiciary Committee, of relief men
aud nuitifers. This may have happened from
nisapprehenslon Of the sentiments of the
members OF the committee but It is a remark
able coincidence, thar at this important crisis
he should have selected a majority OF tha, com
| miiee known TO be hostile to the exercise of
power by the Supreme Court over stare laws,
aud 81 ate I retensions. Mr.. Davis, Of South
Carolina, intro luced resolution some days
since, empowering the Committee the judi.
ciary 20 enquire into the rxpediency of repeal
| ing tina, section of the judiciary Act, which
| provides for the removal Of causes from the
| highest judicial State Courts, To the Supreme
! Court OF the United States. A bill 10 that ef.
feet will he reported 10 few days. II il shall
| become law, the Government will be al an
end. There is no law OF the United States that
may not b. rendered wholly inoperatiye by
any one OF the states. The Supreme Courr Of
| he United States has been justly considered MS
| the sheet-anchor of the constitution-and " lille
every other DEPARTING Of the government has
been contaminated within less than two years,
