TO THE “ TRIO.*’ [CONTINUED] But you seem to think your work will not produce the intended effect, unless you can render the judicial department odious and suspected. You say, “where is the country in which the rights of man” have always beeu protected by tho judiciary? It is uot to be -tound. Bat tvo can scarce turn our eyes to the history us any nation, iu which, on the contrary, tho judicial de partoient lias not bocome the “agents of corruption.” You thou go through a train ol reasoning, to prove that the national ju diciary are iu “perfect habits of obedience and subordination” to the legislative and I cannot exactly determine from your e quivocal denouciations, wbetner you wish Hie judicial department dtfferentlv orgaui zed or entirely abolished. As to the organ ization it is such as the will of the people pleased to give it, and upon tho whole I think the best it could Drive icceived. Per haps it would have suited your taste better if the Governors of the States had been clothed with power of appointing the Fed eral Judges. But accostum as I have been to consider an independent Judicial, next to tho responsibility of public agents as the most important improvement which we have made upon the political systems of antiqui ty, I cannot suffer you to pronounce the judiciary as being the “agents of corrup tion,’ without giving the charge a serious refutation Appealing to the experience of nations, we shall find tbit the judiciary has general ly been justly regarded with ve aeration, as the upright and it.fl xtbio ministers of the law. The very education of a Judge, ac» customed to confino his views to the results of a stiff technical and artificial system, in disposes him to that course of flexible and unsteady reasoning, by which usurpation is too often palliat'd. On this subject the experience of Great Bittaiii may bo more profitably consulted than that of any other foreign nation. 'The judtciuiy of that coun try is the boast and glory of patriots and stateinen. Ido not mean to say tint she i over had a judicial tyrant; but I may safe ly assert that where she lias had one tyrant on tho bench, she has had ten on the throne, and thousands in Parliament. Tile “Habeas Corpus * act would not be so .n-izurl, hm fur lhn inHooendencfc of the iu- j Itci try, by whose instrumentality alone, its benefits can be administered. Where all 'he other departments two tyrantcal aud corrupt, it cannot be expected that the ju diciary will bo always perfect. My end is cc.omplisbed when I shew that in other i.untries it is better than the other depart ments in these points. Every historical tder must recollect how distinguised a pot the judiciary of France, there called Pailiaaieuts, acted iu the cause of liberty. Amid the hopeless gloom of absolute des potism, the first gleam rtf freedom issued from those tribunals. They holdly resiled the Tyrant, and “rolled back the tide of his power ” And what has been the experi ence of this nation on the subject? Has not the Supreme Court decidt <1 that iioy have the powei to issue o mandamus a gainst a Secretary of Slit* ? lias not a Federal Judge issued a mandamus to com pel the release of a vessel, embargoed by an Executive order, which the Judge pro nouoced unconsliuiioiial? And is this what you call perfect obedience and subordina tion ? I h ive long thought that the brief and i turbulent course of freedom in the republics | of antiquity, was to ascribed principally to the want of an independent judiciary.— Those violent passions to which popular &. ; even deliberate assemblies are occasionally subject, do not roach them. Elevated a bove the scens of ambition and political in trigue, they bolio and with calmness the storms impetuous rage; they wave the magic wand of their peaceful power, and the elemental strife is hoard no more. And it is my ar dent prayer that wo may never see the bloody day, when that wand shall loose its power. In closing my correspondence with you, I intend to address you with a plainness which will preclude misapprehension. Hav ing £fven you my views of tho true theory : «>r government; having shewn that it rests upon the broad basis of responsibility, and iis the organ of the sovereign will of the j people; I shall now proceed to consider what courre of measures will best promote : tho permanent happiness of those for whose sole and exclusive benefit that government was formed. In doing this it would bo treating you iu a manner very onbobecum ttig your merits, to pass over in silence your sweeping and indiscriminate denunci ation of every measure of Mi Monroe’s administration. I have already stated the object of your t.'umvi prs; but the present occasion rails tor a more full aud and distinct exposition of the plan of oper- Hioi s, than his becu yet presented. From the disclosures made in your two last nttni in-rs it is more than ever apparent that you are the humble instruments of a certain great magician, who-stnnds behind the cur tain and moves you by wires. Anti l feel it ■ o be a sacred duty to expose* to tho view of my insulted fellow citizi ns, the true charac er of the ‘black art,’ by which you think to •liiiie them. You have openly reared the Htdard of anew faction; anti Itavo select i certain words, sup|iose<l to possess a po • bar charm as the symbols of your order. ’ . ‘.anting upon the ignoiaftco <1 llio poo i volt have vainly imagined, they could no V&fiied awj.y by the‘magic >.f a n.t'mo.* COLUMBUt?, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, DE< EM BLR 21, Hence your continual straining, your e- Jicuious twisting, to associate with every measure of Mr. Monroe’s administration the term * federal; ’ a term which you sup pose* will awaken so many odious associa tions, as to make the people forget that, as a party word, so far from applying to Mr. Monroe’s administration, it properly be longs to its opponents. Aud as among these you may claim * distinguished sitin tion, having prenened jnetty much the sane ductiines in peace , which foimer opponents advocated in wa~ % you could scarcely have deserved more credit had a defence of the famous Hartford Convention, and an ac complishment of their views, so siuitliar to your own, been the avowed object of your labours. But rest assured that the people of the (Jotted States Hre not to be duptd by aucti a pitiful artifice. With whom did tho policy which you denounce as federal, original. ? With that glorious pltulanx ol republican st itemeu patriotic Zeal and dis tinguished talents carried our country tn triumph through the late war with Great B itatu. Since the F dural Constitution, America has never witnessed the assem blage of such a splendid i.ons'ellauon of great and virtmius nett as Congress pre sented during that war, and at the close of it, when the peace puliev "f the present ad ministration was established. While there ; is an American capable of appreciating tho importance of national character, lue names of Calhoun, Clay, Loudens, Clteves, and a oost of worthies who acted with them, will bo haile f with gratitude. These were the men, who amid the darkest movements of the late war, w hen a poworlul etneiny threatened them from without, aud a must rancorous opposition embarrassed litem witniti, stood with a dauntless resolution at the helm of state, resolved to stand or fall with their country. The distinguished, magnanimous, and self-devoting part winch Mr M >nroe acted in the cabinet during that perilous coi II ct, all must remember. These statements, during and soon after that wat, established tbe policy of the present administration upon the most liberal and enlightened principles and with the general appiobation of all political parties through out the u. mi. An i Mr, Monroe was bail ed from one exit entity of the nation to the other, as the P.esidcifi, not ofa faction, but of a united people. I will not take a general view of tho pol icy of the present administration, and of the principles upon whicn it is founded, a* contra-distinguisned from that which you assume as Iba basis of your electioneering project. As the federal government was created principally “lo provide for the gen eral defence and common welfare,” the re publican party, since iinpiessivo admoni tions of the Ide wtr, hive wisely resolved, to place the country iu a respectable alti tude of defence. There is enough in out peculiar situation, a* connected with tho nations of Euibpe, to satisfy us that wo shall not bo exempted fiom our share of of foreign outrage and injustice. AH his tory confirms the great and melancholy truth, that nations in their intercourse with one another, are out seldom restrained by a sense of justice, from committing any ag gression which their ambition or avarice may prompt. When wo add to the motives by which such aggressions are generally prodneed, tho jealousy and alarm with which the despotic rulers of Europe look upon the progress of our glorio is experi ment of repu lica.i freedom, it would bo great folly and weakness in our rulers to expect an exemption, in this respect, from liie common lot of nations. The only rs fectual mode, then, of securing our lights from invasion is tr» be prepared to defend them. If we do not, by out preparations and mumfost capacity for war, convince other nations that they will lose more than they will gain by infringing upon > ur rights, those rights will be at the mercy of every passion that can stimulate national outrage. Hencejthe maxim of the immortal Washing ton, that “the best wny to preset v. peace is to prepare for war ’ Week ness always invites aggression, and Submission produces Contempt. In placing the countrp in a suitable posture of defence, then, our re publican rulers have regarded the express design of the constitution, tho admonitions of history, and the example of the father of his country, as more than imperative upon them. The means of national defence, be sides the militia, may be resolved into these three great elements—the Navy, the army and fortifications. Os these you havo ri j nouncod tho two first, and endeavored to rendet ‘hem odious by your usual (rickety of false associations. The Navy is now the universal favorite of the nation, (dema gogues always eveepted) and I, therefore, need sav nothing on that branch of defence. The ttrntv, howevor, from various causes, will require more attention, in every pe riod of our history we have had a standing army in time of peace , and none but vision.try dreamers have ever question ed the necessity of an army in time of w ar, and dnny the existence of that necessity during peace is a glaring inconsistency. An army is an assemblage of citizens, trained for war by the rules of military science This, particularly in relation to the officers, is a matter of time and labor II during peace wo do not miautain even the skele ton of an army, a war must of necessity find us absolutely destitute of that branch of na tional defence. Wo fight the two or three fiirst campaigns, therefore, without the kind of force all ndrtut to bo necessary ill war. In other words, >ve suffer disgrace and de feat, and incur the most enermnus expense, at the voiy crissis when success and econ omy arc most important. If there is 'toy policy in ptepnring for war ut all, that prep- aration ought surely to be made at tho be gifting us the war. The plan of tho pres ent auitiinistratioii is to retain a small army, but so orgavi,j>tj(! and officered as to bo capa ble, in the emergency ofa war, of beinZ promptly expanded ,;n! li.ted up, so us to give us at once a disciplined army sufficient tor the dem .mi* of tiie service. Having officers already well skiiieu iu their duty, tho new tecum* tkai any be tbruwu iis, wili t soon become assimilated With tiie tugalurs, and suffi'teiiily trained. The views of me Secretary of War upon this subject, as con tained in*ins report to Congress at the last session, are quite unanswerable, and I bo iiove there are but few men iu the Union ! who have riot giAcu them already their un eqnivi cal approbation- Upon tliu wisdom of tlioso permanent defences, necessary to protect our maritime and inland liantlers, no doubt can be entertained. They have been projected with nil tho precaution which the.t importan- o demands. The a blest engineers have selected those posi tions deemed most important; aud if a spir it of false economy shall not too tar prevail iii the fulur appropriations, the whole sea coast will, al no distant period,’be ade quately fortified in all its vulnerable point*. 11 is apparent that you envy the glory which will accrue to certain members of ihe ad ministration, from mes* Mouuinetits of their forecast and wisdom. Fur although you cannot venture to denounce those de fences generally, you cannot forego the tmnt’iuon of objecting to some of the local positions selected for them. When you knowing nothing of the principles upon u bicli the utility and bearing ol foititica- Holts depend, and were, perhaps, iKitci w ithin three hundred miles ol the positions you condemn, undertake to set yourselves up in judgement upon a board of scientific officers, who carefully ex amt tied these po sitions, and pronounced ilium eligible, you must not be surpused that your presump tiou slr -uld meet with general contempt. — Having glanced at the leading measures of Mr. M .nine’s adminisfiation, 1 propose to say a fiu’.v words as to the spirit and pnu ctples upon which those measures are foun ded, The fundamental maxim of thoso members of th cabinet whom yon aro so anxious to denounce, is, that thy fullest re- Irince should lv placed n the cir tte and in te licence of >hc peojne.

M. Monroe IU tlta late inaugural speech, adverting lo a possi ! hie necessity of recommending taxes, thus j expresses himself—“l have never dreaded, nor have ever shunned, in any situation in which I have been placed, making appeals to the virtue and patriotism of my fellow citizens; well know mg that they could nev er;bo made in vai. , especially in nines of great emergency, ..r for purposes of high importance." Mr. Calhoun, the secretary a war, in his speech on the repeal of the direct taxes, holds the following language: The people, I believe, are inudq»eiit aud virtuous. The wiser, then, you act toe loss you J idd to the temtaiions of ignoble and false security; the more you attract their confidence.” “Already they go far, very far before this house in energy aud public spirit This is *bo spirit of genuine republican ism. this is tho language winch it becomes American statesmen to use in relation to the people, ihe only legitimate source of power. L« t prplic men discharge their duty fearlessly and independently aud the people will assuredly discharge theirs- I sini aware that the course of measures pursued by tho present administration, in-. volves considerable expense.

I cannot close this-view of tlu* meas ures of the administration better, limn by an cxitact fioin the concluding part «-f the eloquent mid siaicsuMmlike speech of JVl' Calhoun, to which I befbrejhod reference.— Alluding to the measures lie had been dis cussing, lie said: —“ The subject is grave.

It may be found more at length in tho third number of tho Essays as they appeared fi* tho Aducrtiser. Referring to thoso whom you denominate “un» blushing apostates,’, you say—“ Foremost in the. ranks stood Mr. Calhoun, the present Secretary of War, brandishing in one hand a Bank Charter, and in Ihe other a splendid projects of Internal Improvements." Then in a noto, lo pMSvo him an -‘apostle” from “red hot repubhetm” principles, (I quote from the stores of your own classical lan guagej you assert that “ho is a bank man, the au thor of the scheme of Internal Improvement; tho protector of domestic manufactures by increased duties, vc, an army man; a navy man; tho friend of internal taxation; the rdvocato of liberal con struction and implied powers ” When wo consi dcr the arm aivol ject of your undertaking, it fit very obvious that your work would have been but imperfectly done, if you had not made a bold and sweeping charge upon the Secretary of vVar.-* From tiie elovatud, public spirited, and indepen dent course of this ardent patriot and distinguish, cd statesman, who has invariably soared above the meanness of intrigue, and tho littleness of faction, directing the energies of his sagacious and comprehensive mind to the most expansive, na tional, aud disinterested schemes for perpetuatirg tiie liberty, and the honor of his country; it rs quite a matter of course that you should address him with “no friendly voice,” but only to‘tell Inn. how voa hate his beams.’ In every situation iu which he has boern placed, whether in the senate or the cabinet, the power of his intclloct and the energy of his character, have boen immediately felt. ”Ju congress his noble an.‘ disinterested pat riotism, added to his masterly a»d fascinating pow ers of argument, extorted the praises of his polit ical adversaries, and even of his personal enemies. When he roso to speak, as i heard one ofius com patriots, who is now no more, express it, “you had no perception of a party politician, and could see nothing but a great mind laboring to promote tho happiness and glory of our common country.”— As u member of tho Executive Cabinet, and the head of a department, Ire has been not Icbs dis tinguished lie lias not only given to tho business of 7iis office tho most perfect arrangement; so a» to render its details plain and easy, aud inspired now life into our little army ; but his active mind, rising above the mere mechanical routine ot his office, has pervaded every section of our extended territory, with wise, practical, and statesmanlike schemes of improvement.
