posed OF with such haste, as to losr sight Of the
Justice and merits Of causes in th- roul-lher
disoommcnl observation audsagaciy orc, indeed
unenylablc. Every State in the Union, except two
or three little States, has ts Supreme Court or
court Of appeals, branohoii and these tha' have
not. hippen not to be very conspicuous for a wise
and impartial Judiciary, or an able and luminous
system ofjudicaiufc.
Shall il be said that the State b in debit and mol
able to sds,an the additional expense oldis'rcunr
or branching tbs court The answer is that Tho
States that pay their Supreme Judges the least
salaries, have their supreme Court dliHccd, 80 as
60 hold ts terms in six or eight different places
over a widespread territory than belongs TO Ar
kansas; that, the amount Of expense 10 the Judges
would be little increased by the Judges holding
,i,s court for a shorter time at an expensive Cap'
tai, and travelling few more days to different
points in the country, at each of which their eS
Pcnsos would be iriliug; and that, we are willing
,opay tho Judges Of this court the contemplate
sum that their extra service and expense would
amount to, ,i il should amount to any thing) fol
the great and obvious advantages aud benefits We
should receive by lis being branchcd For whether
branchcd or not we believe that the salaries Of the
Judges ought to be raised high enough not only Ia
compensate them for their services, time aud cx-
pensc, but to insure, at all times, no far as salary
can do, adequate talents on the bench Gentle
men, this measure the people Of Arkansas expect
nj yourh hands, before your session closes; they will
allow you little thanks for asking at their hands
the station you occupy, should you on The score
of small pay, or for other cause, return home
before you have even commenced doing anything
Of vital interest and utility for them They do not
want you to return among them so carly, US the
popular branch Of your body have resolved to do.
They wish your services much more than your
society, They elected you not SO much for per-
,,ona friendship as for public utility. And would
you not disaMoint their expectations, and misre-
