JOHN JAY,
First Chief Justice of the United States,
VERSUS
ROGER b. TANEY,
The present Chief Justice Of the U. S.
JOHN JAY,

Every schoolboy is familiar with the
"clarum ct venerable nomen" of John jay.
Every lawyer cherishes the profoundest
Difference for the learning and authority
Of him who was selected by George
Washington to be the first Chief Justice
Of the United States. Every citizen of
the Republic is proud of the illustrious
fame of him whose proverbial spotless
private life shed lustre upon his splendid
public career. John Jay was one of the
very purest. noblest and wisest of the Fa-
theirs of the Revolution and of the earlier
days of the Constitution.-He was the
intimate personal friend and the trusted
confidential adviser of Washington
The dignity, integrity and legal erudition
OF his Chief Justiceship has never been
excelled. even by the genius of the ven
cradle John Marshall, or the various cul-
ture OF the gentle and lamented Story.
Chief Justice Jay was the fit compeer of
President Washington. But it were su-
perAuous to prolong eulogy of him whose
name and life is one OF the most golden
chapters Of our history and one of the
grandest inheritances left to the present.
II is therefore with no ordinary pride
and qualification that we lay before our
readers letter Of John Jay, which al
though written years ago. effectually dis
poses Of Mr.. Justice Taney and his asso-
ciates on the bench.
This letter, as its date shows. was
written during the controversy which
,eln.nated in the Missouri Compromise.
Du., II happens to hit the very point mis-
decided BY the Judges of the present
Court They have given their opinion
that Congress cannot control the subject
OF Slavery in the territories. John Jaw
