Another and no inconsiderable objection
vliicli Me. M. said lit* hud to the bill* was.
llie exclusion of the right of appeal. lit*
considered il an innliciiaolo right <?l* our cl
iizens, that if they were dissatisfied with the
judgment of one tribunal, they might throw
themselves upon the j^itice of another. We
were not to presume any court perfect ; but
the higher courts are sum>oscd inure out of the
reach of improper inllueiices, and a step
nearer perfection, lie. would not consent to
abrogate any right which the people had en
joyed and valued, and which hu believed be
longed to theiii. With these reasons lie would
content himself with the opposition lie hud
to make to the bill, and though lie could urg
?it hers, he thought these suttlcicnt to show
that it ought not to become a law.

course lie had fell it IiIh duty to pursue, and
wlticli ho should do by replying to (he rc
marks which had been made by (ho gentle
tiinn (Voiu Charleston. He whh one who hud
railed for tliiH discussion, and he felt it his
duty and .believed it tils right to oppose ibis

Mi*. O. had objections to the bill* from the
tyranny which characterised it. The right
of appeal is inherent in every citizen ; to ile
Erive him of it yon wrest from him a valua
? privilege. lint worse, than this, if worth
vvhilo to distinguish cither by their ??had
?mliicuce," is tlio clause which provides for
the advancement of ofllcers accoiHling.to se
niority. Thb is utterly repugnant to our
ivpnblican spirit, and altogether at variance
vitli those habitM and customs which time
tins fomlliarid&d and endeared to us. This
principle in shutting the doors " of honor ami
"onftdence0 upon merit. It Is crcctinsc a
imrrier to Htop tlic march of geuitiH mid on

rial to military renown. They would accept
olllces in the Militia. Hut bv this hill* you
say to them, their xer.l and their talents shall

sphere of action? No J yoil will effectually
