 Heaven intended these men 10 be poweress-but inc Legislature has madIy conferred upon them pow CT 10 do injury commensurate with their will. Will they be found the stern and unshrinkng guardians of law and lsee-Tnpartia arbiters between man and man. and between the criminal and his country! Dare we trust them 10 adjudcate upon dearest rights? Will they not rather be the ministers of private pique and personal mterest-corrupt pandars of power and wealth--making the judgment seat shambles where decisions arc bought and soldl When the storm ofpo- tica violence ages round the tribunal when the dark ness and the terror of the tempest obscure the horizon, and the lightning of partizan fury is flashing upon the altarstone of justice, will these stand firm and un- shrnking--breasting the commotion of the elements, and bearing the white banner of law and equity high above the chaos? No-never In that day their knees will tremble and their hearts turn pale Are they even capable of comprehending legal argument-of dlsen- dangling the sophstical subetes ot Counsel, and de- ducing the truth from the of legal ingenuity and She conflicting arguments of those high above them a sainments and capacity! Alas, no! Nature formed them when in niggard mood-and education has hardly in- creased their qualifications. Flattery, sycophancy, 4awning, ambidexterity, and the other of eshe demagogue have constituted their course of stu sdies while in these their meagreness of intellect has prevented their arriving at distinction. Ofthe law they have not yet learned that understand is need u to study. Ignorant and terae, they are naturally arrogant and conceed. They are placed in situa- ton where nothing but modification result to them selves-but where, unfortunately the consequences must be lamentable to the country.

I was wiling that they should be rewarded with office, pensoned upon the people, and fed and paid from the public coffers. So far as this went merely to im poverish and degrade the State, would have borne much ere complained. I was willing to yield 10 the maxim since resistance no longer of avail, that to the ylcors belong the spois of the vanqushed-but not willing to all the rights of the people en- dangered for the sole purpose of rewafding the noisy denagogue and the obsequous hireing Since this has been done, 1t remains only to bear with the ev and revenge ourselves upon it's authors If these oc- fail to open the eyes of inc people to the true character of the dominant faction in the State, we are of truth afflicted with udieiai blindness. Our chil- dren will hardly believe that in the very spring time of this great Republic Legislature could be found in State who stocped to elect Judges party c6nsi- derations, without reference qualification or talent The annals of the Roman Senate in the reign of fhe profigae Cesar hardly furnish parallel 10 the of corruption thus eXhibted-nor can any other result be ever anticipated, when nearly all the candi- dates members of the Legislative body which elects. In every such case the election must degene rate to matter of bargain and sale. Ii has been

Should be denied, should be told that state it on- ly supposion, and warranted by the facts of the case, shall only say that by unfortunate fatality everything to forty and 10 prove the supposi- ton,

It may be that they willing the pre- cedent thus established grow into pepetuyyet will not permit myself to believe it. l will not believe that the people at large willing to the judiciary thus 6sgraced and the ernine thus bestowed the wages of servitude-for it would be confession that mankind not capable of self-government However this may be, leave the whole matter to the people. I trust they will the seal of their disapprobaon upon the whole proceeding. For me, other avocaions de. mand my attentlon--and with this number conclude a task which nothing but imperative sense of duty could have mpeled me to undertakes The public will hear from me no more.
