ittee to take this clause into consideration. That committee consisted of Messrs. Story of Salem (Judge Story, of the Supreme Court of the United States), John PhiJudge Story, of the Supreme Court of the United States), John Phillips of Boston (Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Massachusetts, and President of the Senate), Martin of Dorchester, Cummings of Salem (Judge of the Common Pleas), the government, but, on the contrary, it was a strong branch. Then comes Judge Story. If anybody ever was, J may say, a little crazy on the subject of the independence of the judges, it was the late able and learned Judge Story,--at least during the last half of his life. What does he say? He says:-- The Governor andif the judge has no right to be heard. That is the opinion of the learned Judge Story as to the power of the Legislature. I have no fear of the voice of the people, says Judge Story. All he proposed was, that the judge should have an opportunity to be heard. What was the result of this discussion? The Convention propose

To hear some men talk of the government, you would suppose that Congress was the law of gravitation, and kept the planets in their places. Mr. Webster sneered at the antislavery and kindred movements as rub-a-dub agitations. Judge Story plumes himself on our government abolishing the slave-trade in 1808, as if in that it was not the servant of Clarkson and Wilberforce, Benezet and Woolman! I never take up a paper full of Congress squabbles, reported as if sunrise depended upon them, without thinking of that idle English nobleman at Florence, whose brother, just arrived from London, happening to mention the House of Commons, he languidly asked, Ah I is that thing going still?
