One Of the most hear,-rending acct

on the excursion train comirg at full
speed. The exclusion train contained
ID cars, and the crash following the col-
lision was terrible. lri trfs
AT twenty FIVE minutes past four o..
clock the regular passenger train for N.
York left Calvert Station, consisting Of
four passenger cars--all filled with pas
sengers. Mr.. William Scott was con.
dnclor, accompanied by Mr.. Holins, aud
other officers of the road, who were re-
pairing to Riders Grove to assist in the

il has been well and ably remarked by
the gentleman from Greene Mr. GesD
that The decision Of the Supreme Court
Of The State, ought TO be sustained by the
Legislative Department. The judicial
department Of every government is the
rigatful exposition Of IFS laws,and empbas-
ically SO Of ils supreme law; aud the ju>
dicial power is in this State co.ex.ensiye
with lhe Legislative, and capable Of de-
Gliding avery judicial question which
grows GU, of the Constitution and Laws.
Having SO decided, and righfully as ]
conceive, the decision ID binding Upon
The Legislature, and ought 70 be fespeci-
ed by il, and by the people. II is upon
the mainiainance Of the sanctity Of the
laws that good eovernmeD, and public
security depends. There is no body so
highly placed that il may disregard the
discharge oflhls duty And il viii be
disrcgurded whenever the Legislature
sets aside OF dsregards tire decision up>
on Constitutional law Of our State Judi>
ciary. That judiciary is elective as well
as the Legislature. It is the choice Of
the People and responsible 10 the Peo-
ple-not for tho popularity, but for the
equity and justice, Of It's administration Of
the Laws. Under such circumstances ]
conceive the Supreme Bench TO repre-
sent the People OF The State as really as
the Legislative Body, Its duties, obliga-
tons, and responsibilities are different
from ours; bu, each Department has an
independent place in our system Of Coy
eminent, hot conflicting, but correcting
and sustaining encl other,
trust, therefore, that this decision o
the Court will find ready acquiescenct
in this House, which will secure the bet
ter thu, acquiescence il ought to receive
from every good citizen.
