SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr.. Foster replied at length to the argument of Mr.
Pendleon upon the Monday previous, in favor of the in
strucOns he had moved for a Select Committee TO be
charged with reporting bill for cectually eorc
ing the decisions of the Supreme Court and for
into the eXpediency of repeating that portion of the Judi
ciary actwhich restricts the operation othe writ of habea
corpus Mr. f. resored TO most OF the identical authority
cited by Mr.. T.. in his argument. The argument from
the preamble Of the Constituon-"We the people of bt
United Sates-o show the independence of the Consti
tuition upon the several States, first suggested bv h
enemies oil the Constitution as am objection but me
by lis trainers and supporters by direct denial of the in
ference. Mr. f. explained the original that pras,
In Mr. Plnctneys dait-whch expressed in the form
of "we the people OF New Hampshire" SC, rccounna
the OF the several States, adopted by the
Conventon-whcn the form was afterwards committed to
the revision of the phraseology the present express
sion was substituted Importing the meaning will
brevity. No such idea was now affixed IN The form
then not only not understood but when urged as an OBJ
lection in of the State Conventions was absolutely de
MED by the trainers Of the instrument The Convention
called by the Sateshe delegates were chosen bv the
States-they voted in convention by Staes-and the con
siuion ratified by the States majority of the Dcu
pie could not have established the constitution under is
terms. -Four OF the States at that lime contained maio
rity OF the people Yet they could not have nut the Go
vernment inyo operation On the other hand the nint
States containing minority of the people could have pu
the government into operation far regardcd
The original existence OF the Constitution depended on the
States 1t not intended take away all their rich
OF finally deciding upon offences against their own runjc
pal laws Had the constitution contained provision 50
vitality Important it would have been left 10 constlc
ton. Mr. Il. cited the resolutions Of N Y and the re-
marks OF Col Hamlton in the convention of that State in
favor OF introducing such provision into the constitution
proving that ii understood TO exist in the con-
stIlutOn as II is framed. The ratification of Rhode
Island which was late, upon the express condition
that the provisions relating to the Judiciary of the United
States was not understood TO extend criminal cases
As this power cannot be drawn without violence the
constitutions is attempted TO be supported by the Judiciary
act, independent of the constitutions The terms of the
18th section where il is found if any where show con-
cuslvely that does not extend criminal cases
states that execution shall be issued" This il
technical and distinct reference civil process and ia
none other Mr.. Foster went into full explanation
OF the history OF the assertion of the present claim iuris
dcton OF the Supreme Court IL was not till 30 wears a
ter the erection of this tribunal that the power was dis
covered to belong TO them Mr.. +. then explained his
views of State sOvereigny-whch he supported by the
opinions OF Mcssrs. Hamilton Jefferson and Madson-tho
resolutions OF the States Of Virginia, Pennsylvania Ohio
kentucky and New Y ork. lie happy to be able to
add recent authority which bore directly upon the present
question of the rights of Georgia, who cOnended hat the
United States by atreay, could take away her title

negotiations with Great Britain respecting the disputed
territory in Maine. The State of Georgia adneyer gone
so r in the declaration OF her rights over the territory
cOmprehended within the treaties made between the u
States and the Indians did the late resolutions of Mas
