MISCELLANEOUS.
Speech of G.. w. Lakin.

In Convention, on the S0th December, in
support of his resolution to separate the
functions of the Bench and the Jury Box,
Mr.. LAKIN addressed the convention as fol-
iows:-
Mr.. President:-The principle suggested
and contended for in the proposed amend
ment, would seem to address itself to the
candid consideration of every rational mind.
In the language of the honorable member
from Fond du Lac, expressed by him up
on the resolution heretofore introduced up
on this subject, and who is generally right
upon most subjects, Z" it is the beginning and
the end of judicial REFORM"
! This has been regarded as an age of re-
form, and properly so. But while the en-
ergy and ingenuity of man has sought out,
and applied the proper correctives to almost
every other evil 90 which flesh is heir to-
the one which is proposed to be corrected
| by this amendment, has been passed by with
but little notice.
| The reasons why such has been the case
are obvious. We have worshpped with
too blind a devotion at the altar of the moth
er country. We were once a colony, sub
iect to her rule, and bound by her DEGREES.
The seeds of her legal lore were sown
broadcast over the country, and took deep
root in our soil. Her forms, her practices,
her dictations, her tyrannies sprang up, like
magic before US, until they became foes OF
most formidable character. In the rup-
ture that took place at an early period, the
colonsts levelled their artillery at those
acts of oppression, for which the ministry
were directly responsible. Those minor
matters which stole upon them almost inn
perceptibly, cuuld hardly receive passing
notice.
! There are other reasons why this impor-
tant principle has been neglected. The
mass of mankind have ever had other things
to occupy their attention. They have new
er been prepared to pry into and analyze
the practices, the decisions and dicta Of the
bench. They have looked upon such things
as possessing a gravity which precludes all
inquiry or investigation. They have re-
garded the bench as the sanctum sancforum
of the universe, upon which was enthroned
the prince of gods and men, against whose
omnipotenee they have not dared to raise a
voice. They have unwarily concluded that
whatever was blind, obscure, and incompre-
hensIbie, must necessarily be wise, profound,
gOd-like.
1t IS true they have known when they
were wronged-they have known when
/ their rights were infringed-they have
known when their property has been wresfed
from them-when their liberty has been in
vaded-when their lives have been endan-
gered. They have felt the sting Of the SER
pent, and the poison of his fancs, but before
they have looked around. TIA Y have been
hidden within the jaws of the It title.
assume that here and the wOrla over.
there is a demand for Judicial reform, and
will demonstrate the truth Of the PROPOSE
ton, as nearly as matters Of this kind are
susceptible Of demonstration. il cannot be
denied. that our Republic in its Judicial de-
partment has followed with a headlong
precipiiancy, in the footsteps Of It's illustri-
Gus predecessor. We have had the English

Of Temperance, in Lancaster, this song Is
dedicated By one Of its members.
Air " AMERICA"
Our country-'tis for thee,
Thou of the noble free,
We raise our voice,
ssSons" of the Pilgrims land,
United in band,
Led by Jehovah's hand
Bid earth rejoice.
Welcome in close array,
Armed for the battle day,
That sets us free =
Welcome to break the chains,
That send woe through thy plains,
To crush the foe that reigns,
Ger us and thee!
The sons Of noble sires--
We meet to quench the fires,
OF liquid death
Twill dry the widows tear,
twill soothe the orphans fear
Make blessing linger near
The parting breath.
Clothed in our Makers might,
The warfare we will fight,
And breathe this song;
Let every voice ring cut,
Till valleys hear the shout,
Gwen bring the work about
The sound prolong.
Then crown cold water king,
And loud its praises sing,
By each bright fount,
Its waters sparkle bright
Just gushing into light
From ev'ry mount.
Our fathers GoD in Thee,
We trust for liberty,
Hear Thou our prayer
Oh. guide our happy land,
Uphold us by thy hand,
While in thy strength we stand
Make us thy care!

Mr.. Dunn did not rise to discuss the mer-
its of the amendment in this place. He
had a very great respect for the opinions of
the gentleman from Grant, mir. Lalinl un-
on all subjects which he attempted to dis
mitted 10 say that the Hon. member had
not exercised his usual sound thought on
the proposition submitted.
This was not an appropriate pluce 10 DIS
cuss the question involved in the amend
ment. The legislature was the proper au-
thority to enact regulations upon this sub
lject, il any We're thought to be desirable. -
But if he had seat in such body, and
such question should be presented for their
consideration, without arrogating TO him
selfany unusual powers, he thought he could
convince that body that the proposition had
no merit TO recommend it. He held to the
doctrine that the prerogatives of the Judge
and those of the jury should be kept separ-
ate and distinct from each other; and such
was the ease now. Ii was the province OF
the Judge to determine what was the law
and the duty of the jury to settle the facts.
In certain criminal eases, the law and facts
may be referred to the jury. And il would
not be difficult to convince any legislative
body, that questions of law, are more prop
erly referred TO the court, than to the sleepy
juror, so elegantly portrayed in the Hon.
gen rams address TO the convention on
hls ,endment.
lf the proposition of the gentleman from
Grant could be supposed to have any place
at all in the constitution, il certainly could
not he considered as entitled TO place in
the Bill of Rights. 1t might possibly be
engrossed as having some affinity with the
article on the judiciary, but il did moi seem
TO belong to any portion of the constitu-
ton, being entirely legislative in its charac-
ter.
He was surprised to hear his friend from
Grant launch out into such trade against
the bench, as a monster so much to be
dreaded that il should be chained like a IL
ger
lie had ON my many occasions witnessed
the display Of his legal requirements and
sound discrimination on questions of law,
1 for which bis friend from Grant was dstin-
guished, and doubted not that he would
make very sound and useful Judge, il left
/ free from the chains he had proposed for
others.
