union) and what shall prevent the evils which
we all know to eiint, from bein- redressed ?
B it the. great oljcctinn to the bill is that the
salary is fixed al.too high a rate. 2300 dollars
is esteemed an exhorbitunt uin. for a jreut slat
to give for the services of a man who is to do
the state such services ! snd who, a I shall
presently attempt to prove, would aeqnire dou
ble that sum by the pursuits of his profession.
For the opinions of the gentlemen who live
amb;:gt the mount tins, I entertain a great res
peet. I am convinced that they are honest in
" . ... a a . . .
the belier which they nave ejtpies.eu, inai lue
salary is too high. And this opinion is easily
aceotinted for. In that bleak and rutted, but
sublime and delightful region, money is not
plenty, and a small sum is esteemed a threat
mstlt-r. Pew, perhaps, of their wealthiest ard
most iudefaticble nionev seekers, procure with
all their address. ai income of 8,300, and
therefore, this sum betoued upon a public offi
cer. au'iears to them cxhorbitant. On what ae-
eount it appears so to those w ho reside in other
quarters of the state, 1 am unable m determine.
Bilt I beg of my friends who. live umonust the
mountains to extend their observations, te make
ttiem general, und not cor.fine them to a parti
aUr section. Let u ras'iu disnasniooalty
and rationally on this subject. Now, Sir. it i
ad mitted that it is ft matter alt important that
the best legal taltnU of the state should be pro
cured, if pos.ible, to go upon the Supreme
bench. Then 1 akf can sueh be proeiirad for a
Jess sum ? Sir, since this measure first came
before the houne, I have made diligent inqui
ries in order to ascertain this fact. 1 hove b-en
fnformed that in one part of the state, that in
which , I reside, the most eminent attorney'
make by their practice at the bar, between 3
audi thousand dollars a year : In another sec
tion of tbe state, one of the. judges who left your
jjireuit bench to provide Tor a numerous Umify
is making from 4 to G thousand dollars a year :
In a third,-1 have been (old, that an eminent
attorney is uiakingfrom 0 to 8 thousand dollars
annually. 1 wouhl I'ntreut enuenien, ssriouiy
and candidly to refleet, whether, under tfcee
eireumstauees, we have a fair prospeet of ob
taining lawyers'of the first eminence to preside
as judges in the 3nprenie Court, for a less sala
y than that contemplated by the bill. J ir, I
am not one of those who ihiuk that the salary
of the judge should be graduated by the income
of the must popular attorney in u state. No
Sir The business of a practising attorney i
Hot Oiily laborious, but disagreeable from other
a naideralious,aad frequently disgusting. The
a lice of a judge is laborious indeed, and respon
sible, hut dignified aud honorable. Neither
taut wa ceasure our salaries by tht i'leome of
lawyers in a particular section of the state,
where from the accumulation of buMtuss, owing
to a dense population, and the activity and com
plicated interests .of trade, the professional bu
shiest' of first rate lawyers is rendered almost
overwhelming, and their income immense. Par
ticular sections must, under these circumstan
ees, yield to the general statu aud posture. If
lawyers from a certaiu section cannot be obtain
taincd to grace the beneli, for a raedium -siiin,
which views the state in general, weeaaaiford
to do without them. 1 believe sir5, that any at
torney would prefer a lees sum as a judge ou the

But an obieetion to the salary contemplated
has been urir d. of this kind, that lucre viil be
t.m sri,t a dikiiaritv between lbe salaries of
the judge-s on the Supreme l!ourl Beneh, and
those on the Cireuit Court (Mi eh. Why, it
is asked, should the jn.lgvf the Supiemrt
Court obtaiu a greater salary tbau the judges of
the Circuil Court, when their labors.wiil be
much less burthensome ? Let gentlemen but
attend to the itrcagth of this ulj'eiiou. 1 doubt
in the first plaeei whether it be foiiuded in fact.
I believe that we can send to lb it court from
the western section of the stale, equity stilts
enough,, now pending, to keep it iu sin one
year uf themselves. 8hild lhoe suits all bo

luvesligation that many of them will require
several days deliberation of the court thai eve
ry decision made by that court, will involve
principles which, when t nce decided upon, must
be final. .
But ad.wit it admit the ft to be, th'st the
Uh-trs of oiirjirlges who preside in Ui Circuit
Court will be greater than thote of the judges
of the Supreme Court. Will it therefore fol
low that thone, cjlHiters are entitled to a greater
eonipensatiiiii for their public service ? Cer
tainly uot. It is not m all i;uportani that the
Circuit Judges should he men of prouiiient4a
