I conclude with an additional remark, that the administration of justice would be extensive! promoted if some method could be devised to give accelerated currency and validity to the legal process of one state throughout another. Might not this be readily consummated by the state legislatures ? All that would be necessary, would be for them to pass precisely thc same act upon the subject.

I mean to cast no improper reflections upon the professors of the law. They at e, , for the most part, a class of citizens entitled to respect. Thc practice in which they indulge, is to be ascribed mot e to the i erroneous system under which they act, than to their own want of virtue. Our plan of jurisprudence must forever rei main impei feet, whilst justice is suscep- . tdoJeof penciVion by intellectual ingenuity, and depends, to the extent it obAbus ly does, upon little points and forminningly seized and applied in thc iLir of its proceedings.

It is believed that many of these Magistrates mistake the real nature of 'their ofT-co. They seem to think that all they have to do is rigorously to enforce 7?y, and forgot thc injunctions of equity. A Justice of the Peace, in my opinion, is bound to use his best efforts to reconcile parties, to abate disputes, to repress litigousness, and, in every instance, to in dure parties to adjust matters in an amicable manner, and at the least possible cost. It is by such condirct only that he can entitle himself to the denomination which he bears, and be truly considered a Jus'ice of the Peace. The second point for i email, is he practice which, in some parts of the Union, is permitted to constables of put chasing accounts Irom shop-keepers and othcts, and buying the supersedeas, upon a stay of execution, at a discount. The obvious effects of this, is thc accumulation of fees upon defendants, already sufficiently burdened by the pressure of debt. As the constable subsists by the profits of his vocation, he will naturally strive to make the most of it. Upon accounts bought, he will forthwith procure warrants; and upon judgments superseded, he w ill hasten execution , so that the fees may equal, if rot exceed, thc original debt. Thc office of constable, it may be pertinently observed, has fallen into disrepute, particularly, it is believed, in the middle and southern states, and has been regarded in a light too degrading, properly viewed, it is a respectable situation; and if juwere bestowed on none but men of goo-equalities and capacity, the office would be rescued from thc unmerited rontemptin w hich it is held, i the community would be benefitted. The third point for observation, is the long confinement of those who are afreat-

ing the law s ol that state it is worthy cf consider ation is Indiana. " I am not of the legal profession ; and am seldom engaged in the law as a suitor; thus escaping the necessity of acquiring more, or earlier information of the acts of the legislature than any other citizen. but I would suggest the followh g modo uf giving publicity to thc laws. At each session of the legislature, let a committee be appointed to select all thc act?, which maybe passed, of a general crutacter, and the secretary of the state be directed to cause all of those acts to be published in, at least, one newspaper in each ( ounty as soon after the passage of the several acts as practicable. Let the same committee also select those acts which will affect otdy particular districts, and thc secretary cause such acts respectively to be published in the county or several counties comprising the district to be affected by their operations, as soon as may be alter passage. " This mode of promulgating the Iaw9 will occasion iome additional expense to the state ; but that expense will be of little importance when compared with trip benefits which the community will derive from a general & speedy diffusion of the knowledge of thc acts of thc legislature."
