Of the commonwealth must necessarily follow. No
man be said to act against the dictates of his
own reason and conscience, who submits to the de
crces of the government, because every man, by
the persuasions of his own reason, (in the cstab-
lishment of the governmcnt,) parts with his right
of living ccording to his own will; and this is
proved by practice; for in councils composed the
supreme or subordinate powers, il seldom happens
that any thing is dccr3ed or determined BY the
unanimous consent and general vote of all the mem
bcrs; yet the results OF those councils whatever
they be, arc always accounted as much the DEGREES
OF those who voted against as ofthose who voted for
them; 40 that. by the very principles of govern
mcnt, we see that, without any wrong done TO those
in authority. man may use the libtrty of his own
judgments and it is very easy, from the fundamcn-
tals Of government, TO determine what opinions in
commonwealth, are to be accounted sedtious,
namely, those which directly nulfy and destroy
the covenant whereby every man obligated him
self to part with his right Of living according to his
own will. For example, il any man think that a
man ought not to perform his promises, or that il
is lawful for every to live he peases; these,
and the like opinions, render man scditious. be,
causc they are directly repugnant TO tho FORE
said covenant; not barely because they are his
judgment and opinion, but because such opin-
ions have in them n great deal Of crime and
guilt; for even by 20 thinking, tacitly breaks
all the bonds by which society is held together But
other opinions, which contain no breach of cnaut
no revenge, no anger, &C., not to be accounted
seditious, unless il he in n commonwealth where
reason 10 dcpravcd, and where ambitious and SUI
Pcrsuuous men are grown to such a height that
they cannot endure those that arc boncst or inge-
nuous, but will have the people think their au-
thority greater than that Of the government. I do
not deny but that there may be some opinions,
which, though they seem to intend nothing but to
argue and Judge what is truo and what false, yet
they may be very naIiciously propounded and di-
vulged. ii we seriously consider that every
mans fidelity TO the commonwealth, as his faith
towards God, ought 70 be judged and known only

TADVERTIsEMENT.1

To the Hon. VIM. F0trIe Smith, County
Judge Of CaLGUerGs County
ORR am truly pained by the apparent
- necessity of occupying public attention
with matters of personal nature. AS your
Honor has, however, from some motive seen
fit to make remarks, alleging against my
self lack of legal skill and correctness,
hope to be pardOned for this card. A series
of suits, one of which was Goodwin against
Liebe, were tried before me as magistrate,
for the recovery Of property, which had
been seized on attachment against Miguel
Hugues--and also for damages. They re-
suited in judgments for the plaintiffs. Upon
these judgments, at the request Of the plain
tiifs, l issued executions, which in case Of a
want of property authorized Liebe's arrest !;
who being arrested, was discharged by your
Honor on habeas corpus. | hazard nothing
in saying that so far from evor having been
denied, it has, on the contrary, always
been maintained, that parties were liable
TO arrest on judgments in this kind Of suit
But, your Honor, since Liebe's discharge,
am informed by individuals in whose ve-
racity am compelled to confde, has since,
and out Of Court, declared that the execu-
tions were i1lf0ynpalIy and defcieastly drawn
by myself-and that l had subjected my
self tn imminent danger of trouble Now,
permit me to assure you aud all others, that
/ feel as yet no ominous forebOdings what
soever; and to remark further, that when
a superior judicial officer charges on an
inferiOr-as / am required to consider my
humble self--unskilfulness and Incorrect
ness, it seems to SAVIOR little of unkind-
ness and indelicacy. Why should the tow
ering eagle thus descend from his lofty ey-
RE Was it prompted by conscious need
of explanation
And, now, in order to put this charge to,
a satisfactory test, propose that your HO-
nor shall with the utmost care write out an
opinion, which shall set forth explicitly the
alleged deficiencies in these executions,
and / will submit it, with copies Of the writs,
to any Judge or Judges Of the Supreme
Court-whose opinion shall be obtained, /,
and published in 81 the Calaveras Chron-
icle."-I am, sir, most respectfully, yours,
