CHIEF JUSTICE MARsHALL.-Wc find in the last
Virginia (Fnuqurcr) Gazette, the following on-dl,.
cmt' Jrsrcr We concerned hear report that the
venerable che Justice Of the United court notified
the President that he gets through the business Of
me present term oil the Supreme he wi,r his ncrra-
sing ndpo'''"n tender he resignation an Office that r h,s
hled with muc! benefit country and credit Ia himself
.or more than hsy years We should he c,ed io have
an opportunity to correct this report bu, We lral IS too
One The arfccs By which that is s,mo.iracs ac
comPIshcd' which it is desired 10 accomplish, is to
ie'gn an expectation that it is to DE so. We have
istoly scon remarkable example in the case of Mr..
Fazcwcil, who according to n certain editor, was
about to resign his post in the Senao-such an
event being precisely that which the said editor de
sired. lie had no question, heard such runner. and
80 possibly has our Fauqrier contemporary, rumor
Of Gen. Marshalls proposing to rcsirn-bu we doub,
II IN ehor case, report ayouched and accrcd,
ted, as 10 authorize its publication.
That it is desired to &c, nd of Gen Nor,bou-
that the hero rcPlnes at tho Constitutional ntcrdct
upon his "rGform"-that he would Ike 70 have b,s
place 10 reward some fhs Jackson lawyers wirhal-
Woodbury., or White, or Grundy, or Bbb, or Rowan.
we can not Only well bclcYr, bat have some reason
to think. 1t IS not impossible, nor improbable TINT
the designing have therefore, started this runor. IN
order, that having obtained popu lar curycncy. il
might accomplish itself by returning on Cen. Mgr-
shall with the force Of public expectations or the
public wish. Such an argument indeed, would be
addressed IN vain, TO the coarse minds of tho Office
hunters of,hc day-bu well The authors of this ruror
know, that i would operate almost ms n command
upon the honorable scnsibrry Of The Chef Justice.
ropcte with tho delCacy of the "o'G5n time " Su;b
we believe to be The pIot-not laid by the Warren
ton Tnze'te-wc fully acquit thc hearts Of rs con-
GGc;ors OF Imagining, aud their heads OF the cunpip
to coniryo such Plot--but by others, who 10 dis
gulsc their operations, have commenced them IN the
newspaper Of q Country Village.
We know nothing Of Gcu. Marshall. Intentions
but VIZ do not believe for an instant tina, his rcoor
has my foundation IN ;ruth-scrspb c as wr orc ib,,
his intellect blazcs IN original spcndor, and that he
combines the srna mems, in coyporc svno. Move
trust in Heaven, that nc has no such purposn-for
though we have never been Of his School Of Politics
God forbid that VIC should not bow in defcrcnral no
mage, to the simple majesty Of his character and vr
tues God forbd-bat tho ruling dynasty should
have the appointing Of his SUCCESSOR or tho power Of
filing this Office the most essential Of any to tho
npholdlng our Institutions, with relief LAWYER from
Kentucky brawcr from Tennessee or q partiznn
judge from any where else: and such wo should most
assurcdy have.
We find the following in lho Political Arcnn Of
yesterday
a report hns prevailed If ia'c. &, which crcdit
was generally attached, that Judge Marshall had si,
nhcd his intention Of rcsgning his Office al the tor
mna'i'h o. The Session Of 'Io Supreme Court. 'rhc
