To this I might also add the autho. rity of Thomas JefTerson and James Madison as conuirred in the cele brated Virginia aid jKenttickyRe solutions. and the opinions of 'ma ny of the ablest jurists and states, men of our country. I Mr. Madison id his report on the Virginia Resolutions says, It has been objected (to the exercise of State interposition) that the Ju dicial authority is to be regarded as the sole expositor! of the Consti tution ; on this subject it might be observed, first, there may be in stances! of usurped powers which the forms of the Constitution could never draw within the i control ofi the! Judicial department, secondly, that if, the decisions ofthe Judi ciary be raised above the sovereign parties to the Constitution, the de cisions of othjer dfinanmenis.rJDt camea oy me tonus oiuie aousii . .t t' ! : . i . tuuon Deiore ; me jqaiaary, must and final Congress by a law confer that pow- Judge Roan, of Virginia, in commenting on this decision, says, ti is tne solemn and unanimous decision and resolution of the Su. preme Court of one of the 'most respectable States of the Union.

Its powers are judiciary, and not political, and are express ly confined by the Constitution to all cases in law and equity arising under the Constitution ; the laws of the United States and the trea ties made, or which shall be made under its authority ,f and which, jl have high authority in slating, ex clude political questions, and com prehends' those only where there are parties amenable to the process of the Court; Nor is this incom petency less clear, than its want of hnnctitnlinnaL nnthnntV -Jncre- liAMM.m m i - - . may be many, and me most aanze rous infractions on the part of Lons:ress. of wnicn n is conccaea by all, the court as a juaiciai irwu nal cannot Jrom tts of the United States providing for revolutionary officers and sbldiersl .shall be entitled to the benefits of this act, unless he shall 'first relinr quish his further claius to such penj sion ; .and, in all payments under this act, the amount which jma)) have been received under any , on The Turtle Syitem. An intel ligent acquainla'nce who-is a 'great ,v friend to American industry, has made us the following suggestion. He has observed, that, at this sea son of the year, a considerable quantity of gfjen turtle isj impor ted from the .Bahama Islands and the West Indies, to beacon ver ted into turtle soup ; and as the duty upon that commodity is but 15 per centum, he thinks, that a sufficient protection is not affor ded to the growth of snapping tur tles. He thinks it could be de- ' monstrated that snapping turtles could be raised in griat numbers in the ponds and mill dmS which exist throughout the country, if, sufficient encouragement wnte af forded, by the prohibition of green turtles. He 1 thinks that it would be pretty difficult to smuggle green i turtles : and that, as the lovers of turtle soup would not be content with tbe imitation made of a calf's head, but must have turtle of some kind, he"considers that snap, pers might be doubled in price, ; which would give a stimulus to a" great amount of the American j in dustry amongst that class of people who -would rather catch snapping turtles than work. - i . to the importation, in Philadelphia, of terrapins from Jersey and Dela ware, fas says that, 'although ;the best and cheapest, yet that, as nature take I Perinsylvanians, we ought to en. courage the Susquehannah terra. I might add to the authorities pin 2 for that by so doing, we already I quoted, those of Judge keep all our. money in the State Tilgham, Gen. Jacksoii, Gov. Giles, Hamilton, Hayne, 4 roup, Van Buren and McDuffie, and oth ers equally distinguished to shew that the Supreme Court is not the whereas when we buy the for eign terrapins, we get drained! of . i' i ! our specie. . . .
