tat the duties, of the states, ami of the
American people. Government upon any
prartioual or conventional principle, roul
not exist. The alternative between des
potism and anarchy* those frightful ex
treiiu's, would alone be presented. That
bnok* furnish to the government of a na-
fhe power which the nation can constitu
tionally exercise within any of the stale*,
the congress did not possess the power to
create and locate them therein. When
the power to lay anti collect taxes wa*
delegated to the nation, it was to be ex
ercised by the nation, concurrently With
the exetTtse of tbe same power by the
slutes, with the exception, on the part of
tbe latter of the power to lay imposts, (Sir,
—Taxation was as necessary to the exist-
enre of the states as of tbe nation. It was
necessary to both. Neither could exist
without it. The power in both was sove
reign, and neither sovereign can exercise
its acknowledged power injuriously to the
power or rights of the other, still less can
the nation, whose powers are specific end
express, invest itself by cniiNfrurtinu, with
ii power, under tpe pretext that it is inci
dent to one expressly given, ami exercise
it injuriously to the states, in preference
to that competent incidental power, which
might be Innocently exercised, and the
exercise of which as an incidental power
convenient, and competent to it* end, Imd
been consecrated by the usage of nntions,
with but few, and tlmse unwinding excep
tions, throughout past ages. The territo
ry ami the people of America belong to
the states respectively within which they
are, Kin li state is the sovereign of the
people and the soil within its limits, as to
all the obj'-rls o( interior sovereignty.
The still, nml other taxable subjects with
in the states, may be visited by the nation,
for the special purpose of taxation, as may
he the people, on special occasions and 1 .'
special purposes. But the special rights
of the nation, as to either, imply
conclusively the general sovereignty and
proprietorship of the states as to
both. Now, in the case where one man
has a right of ingress anil regress for a
special purpose upon the lands ot another,
the law will constrain him to exercise the
right, on that, of two, or more practicable
modes, which shall be the least injur aits
to the proprietor. The reason til this ruin
must be olivions—for il the person posses-
ing the right, might exercise in any one
mode, other tjjan the one, least injurious
to the proprietor, he might bxercise it in
any, nnd everv mode, tbe most injurious
to t 1 e proptetnr, to the destruction id his
proprietary use of the lands, and his fee
simple therein. Ho in the present case, if
the nation mav adopt anv mode of collect
ing nml transmitting hoc revenue, other
than that, least injurious, long used pra< •
tirable mode, she may adopt any,and cve-
rv other, the most injurious mode; to the
utter prostration of the states—where is
the limit when she has departed IVo n that
practicable mode, which is least injurious
mi the states? May she not, as some go-
vernm nts have dune, farm her revenues,
that is, sell out the revenue of the states:
for a sum in gross, to be paid annually?
tude to such confinement, as the public
juatire, the ends to be an,lined by human
punishment, or other citcumstaoccs, might
seem to him to rcqire, The former having
been adopted by tbe court in this inrta re,
under the exercise of that discretion, which
is thus vested in him by the law, the sen
tence muat certainly be legal, seeing that
it comfnrms both with the law and the ver
dict returned by the jury. Sn far I have
confined myself strictly to the authority
of the law; there is another reflection
which I beg leave to suggest—As mur
der is among the greatest idl'enres which
cun be committed, sn its punishment is
tbe heaviest. And although maudangh-
ter he to take away life, yet it is under
ciiTuinsInnces which differ the offence so
much from murder as to reduce the pun
ishment from capital punishment to peni
tentiary; and by the 11th ser. of the di
vision already referred to, the court has
the power to commute the punishment in
the case of voluntary and involuntary
manslaiighler, for that of confinement in
the common juilof the county, where the
offence was committed, anil fine. The
jury had declared this a case of volunta
ry manslaughter. Upon this verdi* t an
application was made, by the .prisoner’s
counsel til the court, to commute the
punishment. This application was ar
gued at great length by the gentleman
who made B, and refused bv the court.
Reduced from murder to manslaughter by
the jury, lie was still bound topuiiisli tbe
offence accordingly, and seemed properly
actuated by considerations of tlife nature
of t'l.it offence, winch the jury had fold
him the case was j and also by the state
ment made to tbe court, that the prisoner
was a cripple, having lost the use of his
right arm from a shot received during the
contest with thetleceased.
2. I proceed to the second point propn
Judge Berrien's conduct, amljncorrectly
arraigning the integrity of his fie lings and
intentions.

We as counsel representing the state
on the trial of John f.. Hopkins, at the
lust superior court of M'lutosh county,
think it peculiarly incumbent on us to
express our decided approbation of the
conduct of Jgdge Berrien, so far as it
came under our respective observations.
We have no hesitation in declaring (ami
cannot hut lament (hut the expression of
our opinions as professional men, is not
entitled to more weight than we can per
mit tmrsc'vcs to consider it to be) that
during the trial of the above cause the
conduct of Judge Berrien was firm, up
right and dignified, that impartial and
steady justice marked the disposition of
the many interesting incidental points
which occurred in the progress of the
trial; that the notes of evidence were cor
rertly taken, and carefully summed up to
the jury, nnd in our judgments the vari
ous points of law arising thereon, fully,
plainly, ami distinctly stated to them;
ami further, that tbe sentence was war
ranted by the law, the evidence, and the
situation of the prisoner.

IN SENATE.
Wednesday, Jan. 12.
Smith, of H. C. from the

sed: viz.' the vV^cnes* "bf'tt'e''sentence) i * l!e ,m the jmliciury. reported a bill to
and here I find myself somewhat embar-t es'abltsh an uniform system of Bankrupt-
raaseil.rinm* 1 am mil directed to any par-i r y through tut the United States; which
titular point in which th vagueness of the
sentence is supposed to consist; not, ha-
was rend.
The Senate also took op ami agreed to

ver, on this subject be guided bv the sug-| kY* , on vestqrday, respecting certain al-
geatiuns whirl; I have usually heard. \ titrations in the system of India!
Does the sentence point out any deft- 1 f lle l,( ' ,tor protect the frontier and ame-
nite time at which the prisoner "should
Imve been delivered here? It does not,
and in tli'at particular avoids oppression
to tbe executive oiiicer of the court, and
conforms with established custom and pre
cedent, as by reference to the different
sentences pronounced will appear. In
this rase, the usual order was made to that I
borate the cpmlition of the Indians.
The bill from the other House making
certain appropriations for the naval ser
vice, in addition to those oft st year, was
read the third time and passed.
Several bills were read a second time
in course.
The Senate then resumed the console
officer in the following words : “ Mr.Hhe- rnlmn "f d' 1 '

and may be udinittcd, but that a govern
nient cun colic** ami transmit its taxes
ami attain to the highest pitch of pros
perity, and splendor, without the agency
of banks, can be denied by none, who
have paid the slightest attention to the
' history of nations. Hanks have been Ini!
lately employed in that service. Nations
have reached the highest martial and loin
menial splendour without their agency.
They were not necessary to the splendor
or duration of the governimfitls, of either
Carthage or Rome both of which were
martial, and the former greatly commer
cial) nor were they necessary to the lite
rature, science or refinement nl Greece.
They were entirety unknown, nml of
course unemployed us JUcal agents in any
of those governmental it dues nut seem l»
have occurred to the wisdom of even Sol
pmon that they were necessary agents in
the management of the fiscal concerns, of
an extensive and highly commercial em
pire. The pa. ific state of that empire, St
the wisdom of its monarch were very favor
able tujtlie discovery and adoption of every
instrument which was necessary or might
even be usefully employed in collecting St,
concentrating at Jerusalem, the vast reve
nues which were exacted from the tribu
tary provinces. The conquests of Alox-
auder the great, Caesar, Henry the -Uh of
Trance, Charles the ,ith, ami Frederick
the Great were achieved and maintained
w ithout the aid of Banks; nor is it believ
ed that the more recent though not less
splendid achievements of Napoleon, were
facilitated in any considerable degree bv
the agency of this species of corporation.
Nor was a bank employed by F.nglhnil in
the most wholesome anil energetic periods
of that government; and what lias been,
ami will be, its effect, upon the destinies
ol that nation, it is difficult, il it were pro
per here to conjecture.
It cannot however have escaped the no
tice of the attentive observer, that while
the Bunk afforded to that government fa
cilities in the management of its fiscal
concerns: it uttoidcd also fei ities, and
perhaps many inducements, to the creation
ol that unwcildy, and enormous public
debt, under the pressure of which as of a
mighty incubus it now la'mrs. if (ben
Banks were not, until lately, employed as
fiscal agents by any of the governments
with which history makes us acquainted,
and if many of them have been prosperous
in heir peaceful and commercial state ami
Might il not '* bought convenient In do
so, ami invest the vendee with the; power
or collecting, ami assessing too, the appro
priate retributive sums; and might nut the

to itnpnri such an authority,at least, wlion
taken, the former as a com para tive word,
alltl ill a figurative sense? The care and
iransinission of the revenue of tin 1 nation
is mnv let to the bunk of the United States
nml its branches, at the price, uml tinon
the terms contained in its charter—might
not the banks by an extension of tbe prin
ciple, he invested with the power (upon
their purchase til" their nation's revenues,)
ol cnllerting it by agents of their own ap
pointment? If them the nutinn.hus nut the
power to create nnd locate a bank within
the slate of Kentucky, and ,ve must so
lemnly believe she tines tint possess that
power; it follows, that the state has a right
tu tax the bunk she has created uni! placed
therein, us much as if it hud been placed
therein by France or England. In either
of tlw* cases, the bank could exist within the
s'* e but by her permission, anti thht per-
ipivmin may lie gratuitous, or upon terms
at her pleasure. But upon the supposition,
that we are mistaken upon this point, ami
the nation has a right to create and loratc
this hank within this state, it remains t.. en
quire, whether the slute may nut tax its
cupitul Stock.

In obedience to the wishes of the com
mittee, communicated tn me by their re
solution; ! beg leave to present the follow
ing as the opinion ( entertain upon the
two questions submitted in that resolution.
1st. As to the illegality of the sentence
pronounced by Judge Berrien?
2nd. As to its vaugeuess?
I. In order to test the legality of this
sentence, it appears to me necessary to
refer to its terms, to the vertlii t, by which
the punishment was to be affixed. ’Ilie
sentence was in these words: •’ It is con-
sidrre.l and ordered, that the prisoner he
confined in the penitentiary of this stare
for and during the term ol three years,
and be thereafter discharged.” " The jury
returned a verdict of voluntary manslaugh

punishment in a rase of volut tary man-

IN SENATE.
Thursday, Jan. 13.
The senate then, according to the order
of the day, took up,as in committee of the
whale, the bill to provide for the admission
of Maine into the Union, with the amend
ment reported thereto bv tlm committee
of the senate. (This amendment embrace*
provisions for authorising the formation of
a constitution of state government for
Missouri, without restriction.]
Mr. Huberts moved to recommit the bill
to the committee, with instructions to mo
dify their report, as to leave the bill as it
came from the house of. representatives, a
provision for the reception of the state of
Maine only into the Union.
This motion gave rise to a debate, in
which Messrs. Smith, Lltivil, and Macon
tipposed the motion, anil Messrs. Roberts,
Mullen, Burrill, ami Murrit supported it.
When, on motion, the senate adjourned,
the debate will be resumed to-morrow.
HOUSE OF llKI'llESENTATIVES.
On motion of Mr. Whitman, it was
Restilccd, That a committee be ajtnoiut-
ed to enquire into the expediency'of revi-
vihg and continuing in force, fora limited
time, so much of an act, the provisions ofJ
which partially expired on tbe first day of'
November last, entitled “Alt act regulat
ing the currency within, the U. S. of the
gold coins of Great Britain, France, Por
tugal, nod Spain, and the crowns oPFrance
nnd five franc pieces,” us relates to the
goltl coins of those countries.
THE CONTESTED SEAT.
The house then, according to. the order
of the day, resumed the considers,ion of
the remainder ol the report of the commit
tee of elections, on the contested election
ot Mr. Merrill, ot Vt. -The house having
yesterday agreed tn the first resolution,
declaring Mr. Merrill not entitled to a
seal—the question now under considera
tion was, tin agreeing to the second reso
lution of the report, ivhiah declares that j
"Rulli C. Military is entitled to a seat in'
this house.”
An earnest debate Inllnwed on this re
solution, which continued till near lour
o’clock. The resolution and the right of
the petitioner to a seat, was advocuted hv
Messrs. Livermore, Baldwin, Strong, of
N. Y. Culpepper, Taylor and Gross, of
N. Y. The resolution was opposed, and
of course the right of the applicant to the
seat, by Messrs. Butler, of N. II. Pindull,
Claggett, Randolph, Storrs, Holmes, and
Anderson.
The question was finally decided in the
affirmative, by yeas ami nays, as follows:
For the resolution 116
Against it 4*
Sn it was decided that Utillin C. Mails-
ry is entitled to a scat in this house; anil
.Mr. M. came forward, was qualified, and
took his seat accordingly.
Tee speaker laid before the house a let
ter from the secretary of the treasury,
transmitting such information as the go
vernment possess in relation to the illicit
introduction of slaves, in obedience to a
resolution of the 31st nit.
The Senate then went into the consi
deration of Executive business) after
which
They adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr Smith, of Md. from the committee
aimer was not ordered into jail until 'con- j of ways and means, in pursuance of and
veuient tu the sheriff to bring him up; or;’" conformity to the resolutions of Mr.
until a reasonable time had been allowed Lowndes, referred to the committee no
him for that purpose? This is on objec-: the 20th ult. reported a bill in adVitionto
tmn, because there was no jail or other ^he several arts for the establishiin-nt-itnd
which po„ rr great inconveniences might
arise, (even to ilvfea the very sentence
which il is desired should he executed.)
But il the court has nut this power ex
pressed hv law, he cannot be expected tn
exercise it.
Is the sentence vague, because the pri
place used lur confinement in that cjuii
ty, and Chatham county jail had been u-
sed by the countv; but it could .nut have
regulation of the Treasury, War, and Na
vy departments. Mr. S, also, from tbe
same committee, reported a bill extend

traiftniisttion of taxes were necessary
their prosperity ami splemlor, we may
fairly infer tlmi Banks are not necessary
as revenue agents to the prosperity or
splendor of a government. We cannot
therefore suppose that the lavs of die
American government cannot he trail col
lected, and transmitted without tlieageii
cy of Banks, unde naequentlv are ol opi
nio,. that the location by the nation of
Banks within the states, is not necessnrv
to die collection and transmission ol its
taxes; an,| not being neressarv, for that,
or any other purpose, vviUiiu the scope o
been proper that the court should remand > * n P the time allowed for tile redemption
the prisoner to Chatham, when the she-' land sold tor direct taxes; which bills
riff should have set out with him for the | w ‘‘ , e severally twice read and committed,
penitentiary in ti day or two after the sen -1 Mr, Cannon, from the Committee on
tenee hail been pronounced. Proper in-1 Militia* to whom was referred an en-
structions were given to the officer in re- j c l u 1 j , y ' n *° expediency of clothing the
lation to the ^utird of the prisoner, and I
can truly state, that a good and sufficient
mattaUughu'r slmll he punished by confine
ment, or labor, or solitary confinement
or labor, or solitude, in the penitentiary,
for a term not less than one year nor longer
than five.”—Penal Codes Ttii sec. 4th die.
Now that cannot,be considered as con
trary to law or illegal, which is directly
Rulhori-Aed by the law ; but by examining
the section to which l have referred, it
will be found that the court hail, upon tbe
verdict which the jury bud returned, a
discretionary power to punish by confine
ment uloue,-fur auv period from one to
live years; or, of adding Uibour, or soli- ‘ impressions Dot warrauted by 4»y part of
that a good am
guard was placed over him uctil the next
day after trial, when the judge and my
self left the county. It seems however,
that if the sentence be strictly legal so far
ns it went, and embraced all those points
which it belonged to tbe court by law to
touch, the characteristic of vagueness can
not be apnlied to it. This seems to me
to be the fact in the present case, and un
less I should be directed to some., particu
lar, which may have escaped my observa
tion, it does not appear that I can say
more.
WM. LAW, Sol. Gen. E. D.
Savannah, Dec. 11 th, 1819.
The undersigned having learned that
considerable excitement has been produc

some representations injurious to the offi
cial conduct of the Hon. John M. Berrien,
on the. trial of John I*. Hopkins, at the
last superior court of M’lntosh county,
hasten most unhesitatingly to declare,
that the accuracy and fidelity with which
notes of the evidence were taken and de
tailed, the impartial and learned applica
tion of the law, ami the upright, firm and
dignified deportment of the jndg^, durftig
the laborious investigation, progress and
conclusion, of this painful and important
case, were such as to meet their perfect
approbation, and as they did believe, of
his fellow-citizens, who attended the trial.
The undersigned, as counsel for the
state and accused, with great pleasure,
(but, at the same time, deeply regretting
any necessity for this expression of their
opmiou^lurnish this statement, ami hope,
that it will have, (a» they sincerely believe
it ought to have) the effect of removio
militia at the public expence, when call
ed into the service of the United States,
or of allowing them an equivalent in mo
ney, made a report on the subject, accom
panied by a bill providing for that object;
which wa« twice read and committed.
The Speaker laid before the House a
letter from the Secretary of War, trans
mitting a copy of the rules and regulations
of the commissioner, adopted in relation to
the execution of the act of April, 116, to
pnv for property lost in the military ser
vice; rendered in obedience to a resolu
tion of the 23d ult. The report was read
and ordered to lie on the table.
