THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.
Cuba and the Supreme Court.
The supreme court is a creature of the con
stitution, but the distribution of its judges,
and many of its functions and duties, de
pend upon the action of congress. The same
crafty, insidious, calculating policy, which
has been displayed everywhere else by the
slave power, is perceptible in the organiza
tion of the courts. We give below a tabu
lar statement of the white population em
braced in the several circuits of the supreme
court.
FREE STATES.—1st CIRCUIT—CURTIS Judge.
Maine, 583,169
ZS'ew Hampshire, 317,976
Massachusetts, 994,514
Rhode Island, 147,515

Vermont, 314,120
Connecticut, 370,792

7th CIRCUIT—WAYNE Judge.
North Carolina, 5S0.491
South Carolina, 283,523

-1,383,517
8th CIRCUIT—CATRON Judge.
Kentucky, 771,424
Tennessee, 763,154

9th CIRCUIT—DANIELS Judge.
Mississippi, 296,648
Arkansas, . 162,797
419,445
6,212,225
It thus appears that six millions of peo
ple have live judges, while thirteen millions
have four judges. One man at the north
possesses hardly more than one-third as
much representation in the highest tribunal
of his republican country as one man at the
south. Here a northern man is a third of
man. Ths simplest exercise of justice and
common honesty would seem to require a re
organization of this court. But how will
you reach such abuses, if you give the slave
power Cuba, four more senators and a per
petual preponderance in that body. We
have no doubt if Cuba is annexed that that
island will constitute a new circuit, the
tenth. So arrogant a claim at first blush
seems preposterous, but it is no more pre
posterous than giving now eight times as
much judicial power in proportion to popu
lation to Mississippi as to New York.
We know that some men regard the su
preme court as so sacred that its organiza
tion must not be scutinized. We have no
uch scruples. When such facile tools as
Grier are upon the bench ; when we see
judge selected from Massachusetts, solely
because of his subserviency to the slave
when we recollect!
power, as Uurtis was

the right of trial by jury and habeas corpus
is constitutional ; when we remember that
a thousand delicate questions between slave
ry and freedom may arise under the fugitive
slave law, or the Kansas and Nebraska bills,
we shudder to reflect that this last citadel
of freedom and law is already secured to do
the work and execute the decrees of the slave
power. In the south, every officer, judge,
legislator, bends to that inexorable power
t& reed before the tempest. It is 6upreme,
above the law and above the courts. When
Mr. Hoar was sent as a commissioner from
Massachusetts to try a case before the U. S.
courts, he was driven by a genteel mob out
of Charleston. Mr. Hubbard, the commis
sioner sent to Louisiana, was compelled to
leave iew Urleans in very nearly the same
manner. We do not believe a judge's life
would be worth a straw that should disre
gard the behests and commands of slavery.
Honest democrats, wherever you may be
found, is not this a crisis when you should
all unite to avert the eternal subversion of
your final judicial tribunal to the propagand
ism and protection of slavery. The slave
power proclaims through all its organs that
it claims Cuba for the sake of power and in
order to control the government.
We have attempted to show that the in
exorable power has secured bot the legisla
tive and judicial branches of the govern
ment. We shall take an early opportunity
to show that the executive and administra
tive functions are nearly always wielded by
the same power.
A statement of the controversy between
the Hamilton & Dayton railroad co. and the
Little Miami railroad co. is, we learn, about
to be issued in pamphlet form, and laid be
