SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES, JANUARY DEBATE On Mr. BreckcnrHgc's motion to repeal the act pasted last session lor a new organization of the Ju-DICIAXY rm. Mr. Jonathan Mason, of Massachusetts, said it would be agree! on a'l hands that this was one of the most important questions that ever came before a legi lalurc. Were he not of this opinion he would not have risen to ofier his sentiments.

But he felt deep cn interest in the question, and from the respect which ho entertained for the district of country he represented, he deemed it his duty to meet the subject, and not be satisfied with giving to it his sihmt negative. Irwas well known, and he presumed it would be reaiiily agreed to, that no jt ople on earth, for the lal 2 1 year, had been much in the habit of forming systems of government as the people of the United States. Nor had any people been so fortuna ly situated for cool and cor-rwt clf liberation. In the constitutions they bad formed, it would appear that there lad been a tmiform concurrence in tin? estahli hrrenl of one yreat prominent feature, and idso in the appli cation tS one y.if(pa pginrijla to feture.

To the judiciary What i the language ap plied to them 1 lie judge are not appomtai itwo, four, or any given number of years 'but llicv hold tlieir appointment for life ISey misbehave themaelvea. Why For this reason. They are not tlie depositoric of "the liiffh prerogative of government. Tliey nei ther appoint to office, or hold the purse-strings 01 tne counir, or legislate ior n.

1 ncy ui--pend entirely upon tlieir talents, which 1 all they have to reeominid lliem. They cannot, therefore, be disposed to pervert thctr rHr.vcr to improper purposes. What arc their duties To expound ainl apply tlie lawi. To do this with fidelity and sis. all requires a length of time.

The requisite knowledge Is not to be procured in a day. These are the plain nd strong reasons which must strike every mind, for the different tenure by which judges hold their offices, and they are such as will eternally endure where-ever liberty exists. On examination it will be found that the people, in forming their meant to make the judges as independent of the legislature as of the executive. Because the duties which they have' to perforin, call upon them to expound not only the law but the constitution also in which is involved the power of checking the legislature in case it should pas any laws in violation of the constitution. For this tea-son it was more important that the judge of this country should be placed beyond the con-troul of the legMature, than in other countries Where no uch power attaches to them.

Mr. Mason cha lenged gentlemen toexhibit a single instance, beside that lately fiirnishal by Maryland, of a legislative act repealing a law passed in execution of a constitution, under which the judges held their offices during good behaviour. In truth no such power existed, nor was it in the power of any legislature, so circumstanced, by a single law to dash them out of existence. The opinion of Mr. Mason, therefore, was that this legislature have no right 'to repeal the judiciarv law.

For such an act would be in direct violation of the constitution. The constitution says The judicial power of the United Slates sha'l be vested in one Sepreme Court, and in such inferior courts as tlie Congress may from time to time, ordain and etabli h. The judges both of the Supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which not be diminished during their continuance in office." Thus it says the judges shall hold their offices during good behavior." How can this direction of the constitution be complied with if the legislature shall, from season to season, repeal the law under which the office is held, and remove the officer. He did not conceive that any words which human ingenuity could devise, amid more completely get over the remarks that had been made by die gentleman from Kentucky. But that gentleman says, that this provision of the constitution applies exclusively to the President.

He considers it as made lo supercede the powers of tlie President to remove the judges. But could this have been tlie contemplation of the framersof the constitution, when even the right of the President to remove a pleasure, was a matter of great doubt, and had di ided in opinion our most enlightened citizens. Not that he slated this circumstance because he had doubts. He thought the President ought to have the right liut it did not emanate from the constitution was not expressly found in the constitution but sprang from legislative construction. Besides, if Congress have the right to repeal lit rrjojff the law, ll-ey su4 pom (J right icpetsl a arc tinn of at.

Ibtice the necessity of kiting die judges above the influence of their paiviiMit and for iImsc rt-aon live constitulioo had put, diem out oftlio power of the legisblure.

Still, if geniU-mcn would not agree with him at lo the timuitulionalily of tlie measure pro-noted, lie would wat expedient Vere there not great doulit existing out the United State Ought nut each gentleman to. say, Utoughl may have no doubt or beitancyi are not a large portion of our citi-seniof opinion, that it would viola to our con- titution I If this diversity of tcntimcnt exists ought not the evils under die judic iary lw to bo my great before we touch it Ottglrt not to aim at harmonising instead of dividing our citizen i Was not the constitution a tarred inttrument An instrument ever lo be approached with reverence; an instrument, which ought not lightly tu be drawn from iu hallowed retreat, and subject to the flux and reflux of passion. But where is tbe evil com-' fiLuned of Thi sy ttcm was eslablisbod only, a session tcarcely had it been yet organized tcarcely had we trod on ilt very ihre hold 1 where then "tlie riccc stily of being pointed at to destroy system acarcely formej three day ago! IJoe not this manifest precipitation Willi! not manifest more mag-, nanimily, rooreralionnnfy, lo abide by ft until, we try it, instead of Uiing uppnMd dashing it out of existence The reason that the toils depending were not to numerout, arose from the nature of the old establishment. That establishment had no paralel. It carried wiih it the seeds of ilt own' dissolution.

No set of judges could be found phvtically liardy enough to execute it. Such wa's die labour of their duties, that they wero denied time for tludy or -improvement. "Besides, a case was heard at one terra by one, judge, and portponed ibr consideration till next term. At that tcrrri another judge ap, neared. and all the arirumcnts were lb be gone over anew and the same Uiing might happen again and again.

as tins the way to extend justice to our citizens Was not die dehy equivalent to a denial of justice? It wisav fact, dial diree-fourths of the time of the judgei had been taken up in It may be true that the number of ftuitt in Cii federal onirli had been lessened and if the internal taxes are to be swept away, it may ben still more lessened as far as depends upon that source. But it it possible Jhat. suit will go on, diminishing a die gentleman seems to think I the milenium so near at hand On the con trary, it not our commerce increasing, wiu great rapidity i Is not our wealth increasing And will not controversies arise in proportion to the growth of our numbers and piopertyf contromsies which will go to federal tribunals as soon as the judiciary tystem is establish ed. "'By the documents quoted by the gem from Kentucky, it appears that, more bu siness has been lately done 111 die federal courts than in any odier antecedent time, exctpt iii one or two counties in Pcnnfylvania. Besides, said Mr.

Mason, even if there be not a great pressure of business, had we not better pay the paltry sum of SO or 40,000 dol--Jars for a system too broad, than have one that is too narrow i I it not a metancnoiy cons, ration, that in many of the Euopean 'f1 -the costs are equal to die principle contended for? It would be honorable to the United. States to exhibit a different example it would be honorable to them to hold out an even if confined to foreigners, of prompt and efficacious just ce, though at the exrjencetf 100,000 dollars. Such an example would a cause for national triumph, and our peopl would exult in it. Inasmuch, therefore, as to render the judge respectable, it was necessary to make their ap- pointment permanent, as time, labor, expe rience, and long study, were required to perfect any man in a knowledge of the Uw -rcir country inasmuch as it has been thought good policy, that the Judges should be well Eaid, and that they should be so placed as to divested of all fear, and neither to look to the right or the left; inasmuch a they shoukl be so placed as to render them independent of legislative as well as of the executive poweri he hoped this law would not be repealed.
