is doe also to my own feeling*, not to cease to
appear before you in myofflctal capacity with
out the utterance of a few appropriate words
' J!*rtinS B*l?tatiou.
Your honors sit here to administer justioe in
i's highest seats, baring no array of martial
force around you, no authority of Executive
power, no snpreme legislative control over the
treasure* or the political direction of the affaire
0. the Union Your is not the gauntleted
band of the soldier, nor youra the roice which
commands armies, rules cabinets, or leads
S^uatee , but, though you are none of theee,
jet you are backed by all or them Theirs is
the external power which iQitaini jour moral
authority ; you are the incarnate mind of the
Eolitical bedy of the nation. In the complex
istitutions of our country you are tbe pivot
point upon which the rights and liberties of
all, Government and people alike, turn ; or
rather you are the central light of eonstitu
tional wisdom around which they perpetually
revolve. Ling may this Court retain the con
fidence of our country as tbe great conserva
tors, net of the publio peace only, but of the
sanctity and integrity of the Constitution!
A* the supreme appellate tribunal of tbe coun

acquiescence in your judgments, but tbe de
ference for them whicn follows a long line of
illustrious magistrates, from the Jays and the
Ellsworths, wbo organised our judicial sys
tem. through the Marshalls, who developed
our judicial jurisprudence To you and your
venerable chief?referable not more in years
than in the accumulated wisdom of a long lifa
of high duties ?t) you, I say, worthy succes
sors of the judicial Fathers cf the Republic,
our country looks with ucdoubting confidence
as tho interpreters and the guarding of the
organic laws cf the Union.
These arc public considerations It will
not, 1 trust, be deemed presumptuous in me
to add a personal remark, which is, that I re
tire from my place here with profound reapact
and with grateful regard for each one cf your
honorr.
To whioh Mr. Chi?f Justice Taney replied
in the following word*:
Mr. Attorney General : I am sure that
I express not oniy my own sentiments, but
also those of my brethren, when I say that
we shall cherish with pleasure the reoolleotion
of the kind feelings which hare existed be
tween us duriiig the whole time of your offi
cial connexion with the Court; and we shall
at all times be ready to bear witness to tbe

sire to be a funny man, sat down upon a hoop
ed skirt tbe other day. With a desperation
equal to any emergency, he whistled, "I'm
sitting on the 'style,' Mary."

bran, tie it up in a bundle of eoarte flannel,
and rub it over the paper. It will cleanse tha

than any other means that can be ased. Some
