She engages not to be the telLtale of j

exercise of candor to others she presumes
that by them the mantle of charity will
be kindly thrown over any foibles or ble

from her youth or inexperience. Her !
countenancce will be sometimes overcast
with anger and the indignant srowns of
reproof, when combating the inanspicious
aspect of vice, and the baneful force of
fashionable crime, and the menacing wea
pons of wickedness of every'shape. On
the trifling or immoral whims ofsi crazy
custom, she wil] occasionly throw a smile
of beneficial effect, and not unfrequently
occasion a merry but useful lau h.

'HOU'SE OF RIZKIBN'LATlVlS.
_ FMDAY, ]anuary 9.
_ Debate, concluded on Mr. Gregg'smotiaA
to reduce the salarie: of the Circuit
ssj'udge: of the; Um'ud Statessrom 2,ooo .
. 'to 1600.do[1a_r:.
Mr. 'Champlin said the idcas of the ged.
'tleman from T ennessee, ifcarried siinto es.
sect, would be fatal to the system contem
placed by the bill. Each circtxit was to
.be formed ofthree jud es, Who would em.
brace three states. T 'e_ trouble and ex.
pence of the judges in _the same circuic
would be the same, though one of them
might be appointedin a large, and anorher
in a small state.
So far as his personalsi knowledge exten. .
ded he was authorized in saying that the
district judge of Rhodc—Ifland, from the
inadequacy of his salary, had been obliged
to fly from the town to the country.,
Mr. Otis was not much surprised at "the
motion made, so far as it respcctcd Kenct.
tucky, but he was greatly surprised, at it .
sosssifar it applied to other states. ' For- hia -
part he wished the government to hold
out induccments to men of talents .not bro
ken down by the excesiive fatigues of
their prosesiion, or by the debility oi'adz
[ vanccd age.
He did not wish 'the judicial corps to
[be an hosp'ual for invalids. Nor did he
feel ?. perfect reliance On the patriocttism to
which some gentleman had alluded. For.
he thought a court of .juflice the worstsi
.place that could be imagined for the bush].
gence ospatriotic feelings. It ought to
be filled with men, honest, sober, and in..
dependent, and so cool as to be;?little infiu.
enced by the impulse; ospatriotism.
ctHe had been at & losiss to account for the
high reliancc of the gentleman ctfrom Fenn
sylvania on the efficacy. of the influences of
patriotism, until he recollected that in that
state a proposition had lately been made to,
destroy in effect all the legal decisions,
books, and principlcs now in exiflcnce.
Then indeed .wo might resort to patriotism.
as our only remaining refuge.
Mr. Nicholas. .The vesry idea of gen.
, tlemen on which-refls their Opposition to
sithe present motion, furnishes in reality,
. the strongest argument in its savor. The
? say that unless you give your judges sala-si
si ries that will enable them to run before.
siall the state jnd es, you will not make
them so respectab e as they ought to be :;
you will not place them on the ground
they ought to occupy. In this eventsswssilb
the gentlemen say what becomes of the .
state judges? if the reputation of the se
. deral judges be cnu'eased, will not that of
the state judges be isimPaired?
As to the idea, avowedsiby some gen
tlemen, that this measure fill cement and
i strengthen the-tmion, Mr. Nicholas concts
, sideted it njirectly the reverseaf th!
'sstruth. Tending, ac it did, to aggran
