Sketch of the Debate in the House of Repre-.
senta,iyes on Saturday last-,he subject under
consideration being the bill to refund the fine
Imposed on Matthew Lyon, under The sedition
law. and the question: being upon the ensross.
ment of the bill Tor third reading.
Mr. Drayfon asked whence the legislature
derived the power to pass bill OF this descriP
ton! Was there any thing in the Constitution
which bore the smallest resemblance TO such a
provision? Let gentlemen consider what would
be the effect of an extension of 4 prrcipe of
that nature. Ii would be, to empower the lesis
lature, as soon as they thought law was uncon-
s,tutionaI, to set that law aside; and II, IN any
instance, they set aside the decisions OF the Su
prpme Court, would they not at once take upon
themselves to exercise both judicial and legis!a-
la,i>e power. and prustrate the foundation OF the
CONSTITUTIONS? What Dependence could be pac-
ed upon body which,. by its own act, could
overthrow the decisions nf the judicial power?
The annqpisr 81 s@s case did nut at all alter or
impair the decision Of the court.
Mr.. Dearborn said. that whatever his opinion
might be as tn The sedition law, and whatever
his opinion might be on the question, whether
that law had cled oppressively on the indIvldu-
al in the present case-he could not consent to
an unconstitutional mode Of relieving that Indi
yiduaI; and as such he regarded the mode pro
posed BY the bill before the House. TO pass
that bill would be to usurp not only judicial ut
executive powers. The power Of pardon was
the Gnly power by which person could be re-
lieved, who had been convicted BY the courts
that DOW er had been confded by the Cons titution
in the President Of the United States, and in him
alone it existed.
Mr. Uiide said-When called on to give
vote on question like the present, he must res
pect the decision of the people before that OF the
Supreme Court. From the decisions OF that
court he considered there was an ultimate appeal
10 the people of the u. States. But he did not
conceive, that to pass this bill. they must assume
either executive or Judicial power. No new
light had broken in upon him, On this subject,
