No. 11. NO refle fling pei fun can cast an eye over the vafl country of the United State;, mark the eitterprize of the people, their ardent Jove of liberty, attachment to property,"and rapid population, without feeling a full con viftion that a flrong government is eflentiil t» preferv these extensive regions in uniov, and " liberty with order," as our great Walhington remarked. To increase the powers of the legiflaturc, might increase the danger rather than fccurity. To add to the powers of the executive, might create alarm, without uie. To exui<i th; powers of the itjfiifial (i"p'rt»ieut, 13 obviously the only «{TfCli!«I -?nd tiff remedy for the evils we fell and leer. Tin's <!t;Mrtu»fnc has in all CCJntries, and- in .ti: governments, been tie bed guarding of legal rights ; it is tie rnoft enlightened, liie mr.ft indepen dent (in are public) the mcTt ielj»o'nli6lc, tr.d the last corrupted. To mis depa-t- Itient the Englilh owe all their liberties, in- dependence, security. of natural rights and j public credit ; it..-is in fact the main pilh.r I which supports all-they hold dear. And is not fuclv a department with equal powers more rflential for this country than for that ? It moll evidently ii, because our executive power is more limited. Such extentive pow ers ill the judiciary, is not only w-ceflary to guard the leg al rights of the citizens, but. is a check upon the other great departments. It is at once the fafert and the most power ful check ; it is the organ of law, it is in ! the habit of appealing to the letter of the Constitution, to ascertain the rights of the people ; its chara&er and rei'ponfib.lity do not nermit it, like twiflical legislators. who koitf tl leir ofSce for a (hurt period and there fere too ofte ; aiming to make the mod ui'c of it with sinister views, to pervert confti tntional principles ; it is influenced by the strong motives of honor and interest to pre serve a straight line of conduit. It may therefore be properly called tlw natural friend to the equal rights of the people, and the true guardian of the conflitution. Why then it will be alked are our leading men, our zealous republicans, our jealous senti nels in Congress, whose discernment is so keen, and whose ardour is fs great as to ftartatthe ftudow of encrsachment from the other departments, yet are perfectly qui et and fearlefs \vhile the legiflattire exert if ti a judicial power which destroys the vital principle of a genuin4' republic, " a goveru triertt «f laws." It originates in the com mon feelings of men,' that power is fafe in their own hands.. This is the' gerui of cor ruption and despotism, and is the. molt threat ning' danger that alarms reflecting .m-n ; it Creates diflruli in tlie legislature,' which .ought to peffefs lii|;h and- ijjii.verfal confi dence. Such a judicial power winch ei'n krates all the proper objects, wculd remove .the ciilhult in the legitfafurfj and thoeby 4tre«gthen its hands, hy inrre.ili"g confi dence ill all its ads. Tji nrglcc\ this is to Iravr tl r door open for every evil ar.d finally for the entry of a mtiuaiclis. To tiws eatailrophe things and everts are .tending ; and seem to without any alarm or •fpofition. One frtFrin of Cchgitfs jl .pics after another, parties and debates. i!ro>v' vartifr, ejieguarj, to " liberty' and law,y is removed from the confiitution, by taking away the right cf the people to appeal to the judicial department f«r a decision of their legal demands upon (tates. By tUis deadly stroke, the chixens have loft their best secu rity, and the judicial powers are contracted tc a degree totally incompatible with a " go vernment of laws." . Nofubftitute has been offered, or even proposed (that we ever heard of) by Congress, or fuagetled by the profeUlonal republicaws. Thus we have leen that the department mod clientia! to equal liberty, which was at firft too limited has been greatly contra&ed, and its powers *** cbforbed by the leg v fixtures. Do we not fee a constant effort in foirte quarter to if {Ten the powers of the- executive also, and to acfd them to the Jegiflaturd ? Wbn men view the whole face cfoiir government, do they not fee a disorganizing tendency? It will, we believe, be conceded by all that the le gislature, even if perfedl m integrity, is wanting ip many qualifications tor a judi cial Court. Is. it not evident- then, that its continuing the exercise ps powers for which is. unqualified, with ail the before men- objections, lias a diforpjaoizing effeft upon our whole political fyflern, by weak ening alt ties, and all checks ? Does it not triTtn the refpeft and confidence of the peo ple iu it ? How forcibly mull all thinking perfotre be ;tffe£led with the inconfiOency of the legiflaturit's ere&irjf itfclt into a court | to derive upon the demand »f creditors founded upot) its contra&s, in which court they ar? ru't permitted to argue"their cause »6r to en'ph-iy counsel, or i-riidnee witivfl"- es Would notfuch a £c;irt, appt-.ir to all persons not in the hub!t ..f f-.'in- it, as a mockery of juflice ? It is tr vsiu to f*y. thty may arftuetheir fault- 6r-f<«? acomn,it- tee. As well might a fmaJl cirtmittee from a-jury hear the parties and report the cafe. Arc the Spanifti courts of inquisition, more wreconcilablq to the principles of afree go vernment and proper judiciary ? Why then dq our republican members slumber over this limb «f despotism, this bane to liberty and to legal rights ? The legiilature being so tiumeroui, individual refponGbility is next ti> nothing: hence the greater danger from us txercifing the judicial power, as the in' &k> jur;X Uiizc:.'s,yynr;:\. know wlio were t{ie judges. If the dilhonor being divided anions so Uuny, it produces little " '?* Enc -* 1,0 political truth is more iviuf-uf, than t'.iat the fliauld lie coi.firipd to the department of legi&ttion. Nothing is more certain, than that the an- Ciept as v.rlj a s modem republics, loft their liberties by an inattention to a proper divi lion of powers ; and not giving authority fuSlcii ntly extenlive to tiie judicial depart merit. . It is equally certain that the fame error now cxifis in this government, and portends its ruir>. Many fa&s have occur red within a few years, and are daily occur ring, which forcibly urge these f-ntimt uts, and ought deeply to unprefs them. Even at this time we are told (but as we live near a remote frontier, and many hundred miles from Cougrefs, we do not know the panic*. j ulars) pcosje by the Mifliifippi, are applying t« have their rights to land alter tained, but by rteifoH of iejjiiJjtive usurpa tions, there it no power in the Usioh to decide legally ! Is it not evident that if the rights of the purchasers of that country are not immediately decided in a legal way, that the feeds of inl'urredtion and war will be lown in that extejifive and fertile region ? That country being- evidently dellined to become the moll populous part of the Union, ana (o many motives exist todraw emigrants "to it, it the claims are not soon fettled in a lepal manner, the injured purshafers, and prelent occupiers, lUimilat»d by the (Irong motives of interrft, and l'enfe of injury, may combine their etforts with enterprising citi zens and foreigners to form settlements, and hold out lueh inducements to all who wilh to leek tli?ir fortunes or a settlement there, as will injure a rapid p'opul iti»n. Is it com patible with any wisdom and forefight, to leave this vast concern te take its course without an amicablr decision, conformable tn law, diid the conditution ? Gan any mo tives to procrtftjftate ex:!l other than views of speculation in. the Unds ? Does not the | long esifting and yes unsettled confution in a large ditin.rV>;t Pennfvlvania', by reason of . similar errors in government, read a serious i kffon to Congr.fs upon thisfubjeft? ! lie I'c.iie for ilie operations of aur go vernment is so extensive, if the minds of our, legtil-ators are not capacious, they can not reach it. Little calculators may legis late for an island or province', l)ut the wes tern world requires-minds in propoition to its limits. Painful therefore is the appear ance of puddling measures unworthy of the high destiny efdnr nation. From lie Shop of Mess.:COLosiSf Spondee i POLITICAL PORTRAITS. From the Sha k s spsar s Gallert.
