Of the constitutionality of repealing the law I have no doubt, but the equity and expediency of depriving the twenty-six judges of office and pay is not quite so obvious. Read the Constitution, and, having informed yourself of the out-door talk, write me how you view the thing.
It has lately decided, virtually, against the constitutionality of an act of the Legislature, made, in effect, to favor southern slavery by the persecution of the colored people within her bounds. She has, already, abolitionists enough to turn the scale in her elections, and an abundance of excellent material for augmenting the number.
A member of the Virginia Legislature. Supporter of Washington's administrations, and leader of Federal party. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. His many important decisions on constitutional questions. Maintains power of the Supreme Court to decide upon the constitutionality of Acts of Congress.
This is for the legislature to ask them specially for their opinion as to the constitutionality of a bill before it is put upon its passage. An analogous practice has always obtained in England, and was followed in several of the colonies. Some of our State Constitutions expressly authorize such proceedings.
