Tribute to the Supreme Bench.

In the course of Senator Benjamin's remarks
on the admission of Kansas, he incidentally
paid the following tribute to the Supreme
Bench and its venerable Chief Justice, which
is deserving of remembrance, both as speci-
men of eloquence and as faithful portraiture
of the eminent man whose character it un-
folds:
Now, Mr. President, come to another
point in my argument, which approach with
extreme pain, with unieigned regret. From
my earliest childhood | have been taught to
revere the Judges of the highest court in the
land, as Inen selected to render justice between
litigants, not more by reason of their eminent
legal requirements than because of spotless
purity of character, an undimmcd lustre of re-
putation, which removed them far. far beyond
even a doubt of their integrity. The long line
of eminent judicial worthless. which seemed tc
have eliminated in q Marshall, has continued
in the person of one upon whom the highest
eulog um that can be pronounced is to say that
he was eInirently worthy of being the success
sOr of that illustrious Judge. l know not, MIR
President, whether you, rs I, have had the
good fortune TO see that magistrate in the ad
miniStration of Justice in his own circuit, or il
the court sitting below us, of which he is The
honofed chief. know not, sir, whether it ha.
been your good fortune, as it has been mine
to hear the expressions Of affectionate :ever
ence with which he IS spoken Of by the peopl
amongst whom he has passed his pure, hi
simple, and his spotless life. know not, sir
whether you have listened, as have, with Ill
terest to the expressions of respect and admir-
alton that come from the members of his ba
in their familiar intercourse with each other
spontaneous tributes, worth thousand labore'
eulogies, to his eminent sagacity, 10 his vas
legal learning, to the mid and serene dignlt,
ofhis judicial experimentation all, sir, abov
all, to the conscientious, earnest, almost pain
fnl sense of responsibility with which he hold
the scale Of justice in even and impartial ham
between the litigants whose rights depend upu
his Judgment
Mr.. President, fse e cd, very old. The in
firmities Of age have bowed his venerable form
Earth has no further object Of ambition fl
him; antl when he shall sink into his grave
after a long career Of high Office in our cour
try, ! trust that do not rudely or improperl
invade the sanctity Of private life IN sayin
that he will leave behind him, IN the scant
heritage that shall be left for his family, IL

This man. sir, thus beloved. thus revere6,
thus esteeme,l, has been compared upon tbs
Hoor to the infamcns Jelfrcys, by the SenatOF

Been charged by tie Senator fram New York

fhc Chief Magistrate oftLe onion. Hecharges
IN fact-not always In direct language. but
partly BY bold ASSERTION and partly BY inside
ons suggestions the Supreme Executive
Magistrate of the Llnd, and the judges Of our
highest court. and she parties 10 the Dred Scott
case, got up a mock trial-tlsat they were all
in common colIusion 10 cheat the country. He
represents the venerable Chief Magistrate of
our country, whose reputation hitherto has
been beyond reproacfl-he represents the ven
cradle Chief Jtlstiee-as cilacting a solemn
farce, in the face of the American people, on
the eastern purtico cf this Capitol aud hctells
US, that ON the day when that great sea of up
turned faces Was here presented, all looking nn
the solemn pageant that was passing before
them, the Chief Justice of the nation was wliis-
pering iat0 the ear OF the President the terms
OF this nefarious bargain--aad that, too, at the
.yery moment when the former was admins
tering and the latter taking the oath of Office,
by which the high majesty of Heaven was in
vOkcd as witness to the purity of his intentions
in the administration of the government of his
country!
Mr. President, accurscd, thrice accursed, IS
that fell spirit of party which desecrates the
nobleSt sentiments Of the human heart; and
which, in the accomplishment of its unh0ly
pIrEUsrs, lrcsft1tes aE uU TTukfcss vIOIetce OF
assault on all that is held sacred by the wise
and good. 1t was difficult, extremely difficult,
for us all to sit here and hear what was said,
and observe the manner in which it was said,
and repress the utterance Of the indignation
that boiled up within us. All this is charged
by the Senator without the proof Of Il solitary
fact, without the assertion even Of a fact, on
which to base the foul charge. Luckily, sir.
luckily for us, these eminent men are too highly
placed in the reverence the estimation, and the
regard of the American people, tn have their
bright escutchcon injured by such attacks as
these. Mr.. President, in olden times viper
gnawed file.

MESsRs. EDITORS:
Why your correspondent should have sup
posed that | furnished you with the copy of
the law for the relief of Henry Miles Langley,
as first published by you, cannot imagine, ex-
cept that he also supposed that | was anxious
to publish what he himself thus intimatcs is i
bad law, in order to comment upon it, Your
explanation will no doubt be satisfactory on
that point.
We., in Your last issue, we have the whole
and entire law, including what lie denominates
the "importam 1rOrisiOn" introduced by DIR.
Nealc, and if it varies the case the least, or does
away with the objections | made in my first
communication, then am unable to discover
it. The result is precisely the same, notwith-
standing the assistance of the two latin words
(prima faciel which has been introduced into
the amendment. Whether Henry Miles Lang
ley's oath is to be considered conclWSirc or psi-
ma fdcie evidence, he has under the law as
passed, the power Of levying for his tax bills
upon his taking the oath. What perversion
of terms it is to call evidence prima facie upon
which levy of execution can be made and
property can he sold! l should call it pretty
conclusive To say that evidence is prima fa-
Gle, is to say, as every juryman knows. that it
is of such character rs to be rcbutted, by con-
Trajectory testimony to be offered. / should
like to know before what tribunal the man
who may be charged with owing the tax bill,
can offer his testimony to contradict II. Miles
Langlcy's affidavit? There is certainly no tri-
bunal authorized by the act before which an
issue in regard to the matter can be made and
tried. The whole proceeding is One-sided.-
The only tribunal that this act allows to pro-
tect the people, is the conscience of Henry Miles
Langley He is judge, jury, witness and sher-
! iff-a pretty strong hand at game of law.
| Most undoubtedly the law is bad one, and
nothing but the sternest State necessity-ceT-
tainly not the interest of private individual
could excuse the passage Of law with such
provisions, and when the lapse Of time is calcu-
! lated to add to their onerous character. In
deed, infer from the fact of DR.. Neale's offer
ing the amendment, that he considered the law
as first introduced, as calculated to work injus-
tice, and therefore the necessity of restricting
it and feel inclined to do him the justice t,
say that he felt disposed to relieve the act O
| Assembly of its odious features but really did
not know how. After this specimen, ! should
think the people would have more confidence
in him as an NJ II. than as an L. L. Dir
his medicinal than in his legal Uistoing plas
teTS.
4 TAX PAYER.
St. Mary's beacon., 1858-04-22


This body, which has been i'll session at Eas-
ton, had pleasant time, and among other pro-
cccdings, adopted an address and appeal to
Governor Hicks, for him to call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, SO that their case may
be disposed of before it may be embarrassed
by new Constitution. The paper is very
long but ably drawn. We give the closing
and summing up of the appeal:
1--WE ask you to say that the discussion of
question involving the great principles of State
faith and public honor, and the rights and in
terests of large and important portion Of the
State, shall not be postponed for two years for
the paltry consideration of the cost Of an extra
session. We ask YOU that the Eastern Shore
shall not be required to incur the loss of $780,
900 i'll the interest for two years of the money
which has been SD long withheld from her, in
order to prevent the expenditure Of onc-fOurth
of that sum by the State, which is alone re-
sponsiblc for the delay. We ask your Excel
Icncy now, in this crisis in the prosecution Of
the works of internal improvement on our
shore, and when two years delay may crush
every struggling enterprise, and may also en-
gender feelings and actions tO which VIC desire
not to allude, to exercise your constitutional
prcrogative by convening the Legislature at an
carly day. We ask that if an expenditure of
100000 be incurred to remedy the evils of
the present constitution, the State shall also re-
move the evil under which we are laboring
from its refusal to pay our just and long de-
ferred claim-an evil compared with which the
sum of all those contained in the present con-
stitution is to us but as dust in the balance.
eve respectfully submit that the condition
Of affairs herein described is without parallel
in the history of the State, and fully constitutes.
in the language of the constitution, an "extra-
ordinary occasion"
