"k - * - A GREAT SPEECH. CONGRESSMAN PATTERSON OF BARNWELL TALKS PLAINLY. He Wants the Great Power Now Ex* train whatever measures he may like through instruments dependent upon himself for their offices and emolu ments; and besides this, a perverted Judicial system by menas of which he may nullify all measures adopted by tbe States which do not plesse him.

Judicial, execu tive and political. It seems to be the rule in general debate upon a bill for the Member addressing the House to speak about anything and every thing except the subject-matter of the pending measure, and I will not at this time make *n exception to the rule, but will take advantage of the time silotsd me to address the House ilpon two subjects contained in sep arate bills which. 1 have introduced St this session of Congress. To my mind these are very important mat- tlon of State's rights or Federal Jur- Ws, end 1 trust that the Members of this House will give me their at- tention end these measures that due and careful consideration which they deserve. ; The first of these to whch I ask your attention Is H. R. 1876? which, provides: ‘‘That uo judge of any ed with the 36.000 new offices and $3$.000.000 in .salaries created by the Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth Con gresses. The alien and sedition laws had been passed b^Congress under the whfp and spur of the Adminis tration in violation of the Constitu tion; but those were as nothing com pared with the tariff bills, the sub sidy bill, the financial bills, and other measures Intended to benefit special interests at the expense of .the public, which have passed this House in re cent years. Nor were the direct usur pations of undelegated powers, com mitted by Adams to be compared with those which the present President has committed. I have not the time to go Into the f.stailS' of all these matters; hut In respect to the juriciary system, as It was treated by the Sixth Congress under Adams and the Seventh under Jefferson, I wish to speak at length. In order to show that Congress has complete authority to detiroy, as veil as to create, courts Inferior to i.:e Supreme Court, and therefore 10 a Pol ish judicial offices and to deprive those persons who bold them of their salaries. „ After Jefferson had been elected court of the United States Inferior to’ ih 1800, and before he had taken his the art of 1801. Tie theu made sev er that is sufficiently secured In those States where they are named by s marshal depending on Executive will, or designated by the courts, or by officers dependent on then). In the first place, then, Jefferson showed that these Federalist courts were unnecessary and expensive. That was of itself a valid objection to them., But In the second’place, he raised a far more serious objec tion by reference to "the Inestimable Institution of juries" In all cases In volving the security of persons and property. He foresaw, .even then, that these Federal courts would. In the very nature of things, resort to the government by Injunction—to the decision of cases without the in tervention of a jury. The Pritchards and Joneses’pf to-day’ were not hid den ffOm his prophetic vslon. Nor were the abuses of the Jury system, even when trial by jury was not dis pensed with, overlooked by him. He abhorred the idea that a Federal judge should without a jury try any case whatever involving personal or property rights. a- The legislature of North Carolina, on the 17th of December, 1801, In structed the Senators and requested the Representatives from that State to urge the repeal of the act of Feb ruary 13, 1801. And immediately afterwards a bill to that effect was introduced in the Senate. It was entitled "A bill to .repeal certain acts of Congress respecting the organiza tion of the courts of t|ie United States, and for other purposes." When it Reached the House it was referred to the Committee of the Whole House and was debated at great length. The discussion of Its constitutionality was opened by Hen derson and Williams of North Caro lina, on the 6th of February, 1802. (See Annals of Congress for that day.) Henderson opened the debate. Ae deprecated the fact that the leg islature of North Carolina had In structed the Senators and requested the Representatives of that State in Congress to vote for the repeal of terras equally plain and porerap- from the State courts to the United tory;" that, "this being the delib- States courts apd fixes the sum or erste end solemn opinion of the-pe- value Involved In any salt of which tltloners. the duty of their stations the circuit courts of the United States requires that they should express it have original cognizance, concurrent to the legislatlvs body.

Is called In question.’’ In view of the recent acta of Federal judge*, fresh In the minds of the people, assuming powers never delegated to them, thie question be come of greet Interest apd Import ance. Such an assumption of power by the Judges of the United States courts can not be too severely crit icised and condemned. It is calcu lated to bring about a clash and con- fitet between the State and Federal anthorUlea, and a check should be placed upon them and they should be compelled to respect the eovertgn fight* of the States to enact laws and to enforce them, subject only to inter ference by njunction of the supreme court of the State or of the Supreme Court of the United States. « Since the expiration of the Flfty- sTnth Congress the people of the Unit* sd States have witnessed many things tending 1 to demonstrate the correct ness of Jefferson’s solemn declaration t^at Federal judges are the "sappers end minora" of despotism. We have seen Federal judges attempting to nullify the laws of a State by grant ing Injunctions forbidding and re straining the officers of the States of Virginia. North Carolina. Ala bama, and Minnesota. who are charged with the execution of the (laws of those States, to execute those laws, unless and until the Supreme Court of the United States has pass ed upon their validity, thus making State Laws enforclble only upon a condition never contemplated by the framers of the Constitution of the United States. And we have seen thle new usurpation of authority followed immediately upon the sugestlon of the President, who appointed the par titular Judges guilty of such usurpa- Uon, that the Constitution needed to T <3 r emd^eTMljYJgtfctrtrre, legtalattre ind Judicial constructions, and not b. y amendments In the proper and authorized manner, In order to adapt It to the needs of the times.

It effect, we have a Jadictary irsUas. by .an seat in 1801, President Adams con ceived the design of perpetuating his ‘policies"—all enemies of the Con stitution have "policies"—by creat ing new Federal courts and filling them with Judges who could be de pended on to uulllfy any law passed by the hew Congress or by anyTBlale' legislature which might conflict with his monOrchlal policies. In bis fourth annual message, November 22. 1800, he sold: . It is in every point of view of such primary importance to carry the laws into prompt and faithful exe cution. and to render that part of the administration of justice which the Consitution and always devolve their present circumstance, that I can not omit to once more recommend to your serious consideration the udiclary system of the United States. And having received from a House of Representatives devoted to his service a complacent reply, he added on the 27th of November the fol lowing: l thank you. gentlemen, for your assurance that the various subjects recommended”to your consideration shall receive your deliberate atten- ttoa. . . .. The President was greatly inter ested in ytjie Improvement,” of the udiclary system. He contended that after courts had once been created and judges appointed these courts could not be abolished or those udges removed by Congress. In pursuance of this theory, the Sixth Congress, the last Federalist Congress, with Its expiring gasp, passed "An act for the more conyen- ent organization of thp^^purts of the United States," whch was ap proved by President Adams. Febru ary 13, 1801-—leps than a month be fore Jefferson was inaugurated. This act created certain new courts, called "circuit courts of the United State."

Jere miah Smith, and George K. Taylor became judges of said circuit courta, with salaries of 12,000 a year each. These judges were known as “John Adam's Judges," and were extremely objectionable to the Democrats, then called Republicans, of whom Jeffer son was the leader. In order to get rW of them, Jefferson, in his first an nual message, December 8, 1801, suggested the repeal of the act.

Thompson, of Virginia, made in reply to Henderson on the following day (lb., p. 647). There were great debates in both Houses of Congress on this bill re pealing the act of 1801, by which the John Adams circuit courts were es tablished; and It was finally passed; thus proving the right of Congress to deprive Judges of all judicial pow er. At the next session of Congress, on January 27, 1803, the deposed , udges presented petitions in which they said: That, by an act of Congress, pass ed on the 13th day of February, IfiOl, entitled “An act for th* more convenient organization of the Courts of the United States.” certain judi cial offices were created, and courts established, called circuit courts of the United States, the petitioners be came vested with the offices so creat ed. and received commissions, au thorising them to hold the same, with the emoluments thereunto ap pertaining during their good behav ior; that, during the laat session, an act of Congress passed, by which the above-mentioned law was declared to lie repealed, since which no law has been made for assigning to the petitioners the execution of any ju dicial function, nor has any provis ion been made for the payment of their stipulated compensations; that under these circumstances, and find Ing it expressly declared In the Con stitution of the United States that the judges both of the Supreme and inferioa courts shall hold their offl ces’during good benkvtor, tild bIibII, at stated times, receive for their ser vices a.compensation, which shall not be diminished during their contin uance In office," the petitioners are compelled to represent It as their opinion, that the rights secured to them by the Constitution, as mem bers of the judicial department, have been impaired; that, "with this sin cere conviction and’ influenced by 1 sense of public duty, they most re spectfully request of Congress to re view the existing laws, which re* spect the offices in question, and to define the duties to he prformed by the ptltioners, by such provision as shall l>e consistent with the Const! tution and the convenient adminis tration of Justice;” that? “the right of the petitioners to their compensa lions, they sincerely believe to be secured by the Constitution, notwith standing sad modification of the ja dicial department, which, In th* opln ion of Congress, public convenience may recommend'; this right, however involving a personal Interest, will cheerfully be submitted to judicial examination and decision in such manner as the wisdom and impartial ity of Congress may prescribe; that judges should pot be deprived of their offices or compensations, with out. misbehavior, appears to tbe pe- 'tltloners,- to be among the first and and best established principles of the American Constitution; and. in the various reforms they have un dergone, it has been preserved and guarded with Increased solicitude; that, on this basis, the Constitution of the United Statee has laid the toandatiW of the Jodteisl depart- to their compensa , . .. . _ . . „ the machinery of the courts of Jus- turned the pistol and fired at his VT , . ,, .tice beyond the reach of the poorest head, but mtaeed th* first Urns.
