ion viii be entertained by many good
men, but our position of editor requires
that we should contend for the respscla-
biIity of the profession.
This is a laudabIe scheme, for which
all praise is due its authors and il We

There is great diversity of opinion, in
this quarter, about the actual cost 10 the
State, of those chairs that were lately
ordered, by the Legislature, 10 be provi-
ded for the U. S. Court Room. The ORR
ginaI cost of the chairs themselves, has
been computed by some persons at IS
cents each, and the cost of legislating
them into service has been yariously
computed by different persons, at from
four 10 fifteen hundred dollars. WILL
any one furnish US with a we'll founded
estimate? Can't some ofthe Jackson cd

In Mr.. Benton's speech on The repeal
Of the Bankrupt Law, that gentleman
proves that hejudges other men by him
self; consequently if he is their judge.
they must expect no mercy. He al.
tempts parallel between bankrupss aud
penitentary convicls; thereby endeasor-
ing 10 place himself on an equality with
The former; knowing that if be had his
due, he would be in the penitentiary now.
This speech of his, to which we alIude,
never could have emanatcd from a good
or an honest heart. It is worthy of a
man charged with robbing a trunk, aud
thinking station will relieve him from
the odium; it is worthy OF mean, dog
matical, would be great man--it is wor-
thy of Thomas Fl. Benton.
