LETTER FROM MR.. MADISON.
MONTPELIER, June %. 1891


DEAR Sir; have received your friendly letter Of
the 18th inst The few lines which answered your
former one of the 2st of January last were written
in haste and in bad health but they expressed though
without the attention in respects due to the &C
cason, dissent hom the views of the President, as
to Bank of the United States and substitute for IT.
10 which cannot but adhere. The objections to the
latter have appeared me TO predominant greatly over
the advantages expected from it, and the constitution
ai,y of the former | still regard sustained 10y the
consideration To which | yielded in giving my assent
to the existing bank,
The charge Of incons tency between my objection
to the consulonaly of such bank in 1871, and
my assent in 1917 turns the question: how far le-
glslatlve presidents, expounding the constitution,
ought to guide succeeding legislatures and to override
individual opinions
| Some obscury has been thrown over the question,
by confounding it with the respect due from egs-
latute to laws passed by preceding legislatures But
the two cases are essentially different constitution
deng derived from superior authority, is to be ~
pounded and obeyed not controlled or varied by the
subordinate authority of legislature law, on the
other hand resting higher authority than that
possessed by every successive legislature its expcdi-
ency as well as It's meaning within the scope oi the
| latter.
The in question has its true analogy in the OBJ
legation arising from judicial xpositons of the law
succeeding Judges the constitution being law 10 the
legislator, the law is rule of decision TO the Judge
And why are judicial preccdents when formed On
due discussion and consideration and deliberately
sanctioned by reviews and repcitons regarded as oi
binding influence or rather Of authoritative force in
settling the meaning of law2 II must be answered
lst, because Is a reasonable and established axiom
that the good of society requires that thorues of
duct Of It's members should be certain and known
which would not he the il any judge, disregard
ing the decisions Of his predecessors should vary the
rule Of law according to his individual Interpretation
Of IT, Mserd est serritus ubi jus est ou ragum dui
incogniiun. ID. because an exposition Of the law
publicly made, and repeatedly confirmed by the con.
STUFFED authority, carries with it, by fair inference
the sanction Of those who having made the law through
then legislative organ, appear under such circumstan
dietary organ.

FOR THE MADIsoNlAN.
CURIOUS SENTENCES OF COURTS
The glorious uncertainty of the law has become pro-
verbal and long been the lawyers boast Its maxim
is not always well founded that ratio est anima gis
for it is sometimes any thing but reasonable and the
summun jus is often the Summa injuria. Whatever
may be the law itself however, the decisions under
are still more variant and rcT arkable and the sem
fences of judges often incommensurate with the magn
tude of the crime. The of one is not the
of another the of Justice the same
in all was led TO these conclusions by noticing the
other day in the nelligencer under the head of City
News the different punshments awarded by the Judge
of our Criminal Court during the last term, on some
offenders who had been tried and convicted for their
crimes. Life to be of less value in our District
than property; and our criminal Judge appears to
slider murder not more offensive than the stealing
of pig. One Mary Ann Adams, a free coored wo
man, had been convicted of such aggravated cruelty
and i'll treatment towards poor girl of ten years of
age, who had been in her service, as to lead to her
death. The evidence for the prosecution" il is
stated, disclosed series of i'll treatment abuse and
cruelty towards the poor girl such rarely exh
bted in courts Of justice" She had not only been
often severely and numerically whipped but I" it also
appeared that by starvation and exposing the poor child
TO the inclemency of the weather and not aIording
her sufficient clothing Mary Ann Adams had on
various occasions and in divers ways for gears past
tomented and tortured Harriet Mason SO as TO accele
rate her death" And for this most barefaced and
cruel murder, what does the reader suppose the
punishment Why, that this monster should "pay
fine of ten dollars and suffer imprisonment in the
county Jail for space three years" Immediately af
ter this, one Perry Biggs lchite man, doubt,
convicted Of stealing tro hogs and grind stone and
sentenced 10 Imprisonment in the pententidry for the
space of tIro years And this is what is called equal
justice. still more extraordinary occurred
lately IN neighboring county OF Maryland man
was proved J believe, To have sho, at and wounded
another who had called him for the payment of a
small debt Not sati.fcd with this, he compelled a
young man IN his employment, to seize him, while be

Again my foot doth press the solid earth
Again stand on this which gave me birth
And yet sad thoughts of that I've left behind
With darkening shadows, fall upon my mind
Columbia! thou art fair. Thy streams
Meath the golden sunshine glow:
Each wavelet crowned with diamond seems
In its light and sparkling flow
With majesty thy mountains raise
Their snow capp'd heads and sweet
The rivulct that gladstone plays
Around their rocky feet.
Wide MS thy forest land most glad
When Summer dies away:
lis then in gorgeous coors clad
In proud and bright array
Thy sun IN glory passes down
Into his ocean bed:
He leaves behind his crimson crown
And royal robes, 10 shed
Their pomp amid the topaz bright:
The sky bright evening dress,
With clouds OF blue and snowy white,
Blushing in loneliness
Columbia thou art fair and
Shall off in thought retrace
The beauty Of thy earth and sky
The well-remembered face
The warm kind hearts, the friendly hand
Were freely given to me,
That of | felt my native land,
As were still with thee
