Our free institutions excite the admiration of the friends of liberty all over the world. _ And they become more and more dear to the people of our country, as they —ma- tured by experience, and as their blessed effects are seen and felt by the people. : We are justly proud ot our free institutions. The only free government on the face of the earth will contrast her political gondition with the na-! tions around her; and that "Comparison and con- trast, will increase her love and affection for her own free institutions. There are, however, some evils to be remedied. We wish we could’ speak the same language in favor of the administration of justice in our country that we have just used in regard to our free systems of governinent. We have no reason to feel proud of the administration of our laws. A comparison in this respect, with the administration of justice in Eng! and and France, would not result in opinions favorable to our own superiority. We f the comparison we should fall behind them, We fear that justice is less certain here than there. If this be so, the question. is heeatly taebe es to what is this state of things owing? Why is the ad- ministration of the law less certain here than there? We will proceed to state what we sup- pose to be some of the causes of the evils here in the administration of justice. In the first place, we will notice the absence of form and ceremony in our courts of justice. It is a mistakem notion among us, that hoes are useless things. They are, in eflect, matters ef substance, and have a most salutary and restraining influence upon the people. In our southern and western borders, where there is very little form, there is no gravity or dignity in the whole course_of proceeding, from the judge down to the ti staff and sweeper and duster of the court. Tumult and disorder prevail, quarrels and fights take place between the parties engaged, and even between the counsel. Almost every newspaper we open from the south and west, is filled with narratives of disorder, tur- moils and riots ; even the halls of justice are dese- crated by brawls and fights. These things are great fails in our land, and we think they are ina great measure owing to the cause we have just re- terred to. They are to be attributed in u great measure to the absence of form and ceremony in our courts of justice. In Great Britain and in France, and indeed in all the States of Europe, the influence of form and ceremony is felt and udmit- ted. The judge isattired in the robes of justice.— He takes his seat under the canopy of legal power. All the forms are well calculated to strike the’great mass of attendants with awe and respect. ‘They seldom or never have disturbances or disorder: in their courts of justice. Here they are familar and increasing. To what can the difference be owing but to the cause we have just mentioned W— in this country the judge sits upon the bench cloth- ed in the attire of a private citizen. There are no imposing forms or ceremonies from the commence- ment to the end of the process. The consequence is the want of respect in the audience, and an en- tire absence of awe and fear among the suitors and persons about the court. We would have this evil corrected. We would have more form and cere- mony. Forin such a case we believe form and ce- remony to be matter of substance. We would have the judges clothed in the robes of justice.— We would have strict formality observed in the proceedings of the court. And we would have the least (evity and indecorum immediately and cer- inly punished. With these reforms in the ad- ministration of justice, we would go a great way in eradicating the evils we have been speaking of; and would have as good ground to claim the res- pect of the world for the salutary and pure admin- istration of the law as we have for the excellency of our free institutions. There is another evil in the administration of jus- tice we wishto notice. It is one of considerable magnitude, and one that calls loudly for retorm.— It as the abuse of witnesses in our courts of justice. The object of testimony is the development o; the truth of the ease, i order to enable the cot and jury to decide upon it. It is of two kinds, verbal and written. In our various courts of equity, ‘aad.| Written testimony is used to develope the truth, but ia our comiuton law courts witnesses are brought upon the stand and make a verbal statement of the facts before the court and jury, There has been much discussion as to which is the best inode of proceeding to elucidate the truth. The people seem to prefer the common law mode, of verbal testi- mony, givenin the presence of the court. But all the writers upon evidence agree that whether this be the best mode or not, it must, by no means, be abused, or it will become an instrument of oppres- sion. We have seen many instances where wit- nesses upon the stand have been grossly insulte and the privileges of the court grossly abused.— The object of the proceeding is to investigate the truth of the case. And we would ask the counsel, the court, and the people, whether this ovject can be ebtained by brow-beating, bewildering, con- founding or irritating a witness. If the motive of the proceeding be simply the truth, how can we Justify the treatment of witnesses, that we almost daily observe in our courts of justice 7 It is a very general, but mistaken notion, common to members of the bar, that their duty to their clients require of them a victory against their opponent, by al- most any means. They forget that the object of the trial isthe discovery of the truth, and they do not blush to excite, bewilder, and confound the witness for the purpose of obtaining a victory at the expenee of truth. This is a very great evil, and should be remedied. A man of pure principles and a conscientious heart, would consider and act upon the rulefthat a trial or legal investigation, ix 4 process for the discovery of the truth. A mere instrument to develope the facts of the case, and to which all other considerations should yield — He would consider his duties to his client as secon. dary to this primary object of the administration of justice. If the members of the bar would take this view of the subject, and proceed upon this principle, the reform, at once would be completed, and many of the evils of which we have been com- plaining, would cease to exist. ‘There is another cause for some of the disorders in the administration of justice in our country, and for which perhaps there iano remedy but in the intelligence and virtue of the people. Our judicial systems are new and peculiar. In England, France, and in the different states of Europe, there is « udicial body pervading the kingdom trom the highest tribunal down, in consecutive gradation, te the lowest. [tis a compart body, one of the de partments of the government. ‘The last and high- est tribunal supervises and corrects the proceeding: of the inferior. Harmory and uniformity of course prevail among them. But in this intry the case is very different. Here we have a very great num ber of independent and unconnected State judica jes, entirely separate and independent of each We could hardly expect a uniform course of action between tribunals so various and inde vendent of each other, as the several State tribu vls are of each other, That this state of thing: has some influence in pmoting irregularity anc inorder to. capooante de justice we have no doubt should like to carry the reforming principle v little further, We should like very much to aic in purifying the bar and even the bench In om judgment, no man should make the administrotion of the law an instrument of pecuniary profit — Higher objects and aims should pervade the breast: of those engaged in the administration of justice. And, to improve the profession, we woald ba poverty and want from its ranks. It should be made less accessible. We love and respect the poor ; but, etill, it is_no place for them. The avenues of Wealth and honor are open to them as free aa to the rich We would have no restraints or disabili ties upon any order or class of persons, but we would keep the fountains and streams of justice pure, and from being disturbed or diverted any influence whatever. The omen of the law stiould be above want, and id the reach of corruption And we would carry the reforming principle stil! « little further, We believe the jadges of our court: concerned in the administration of the law, would suffer by a comparison with the judges of the courts of the Various states of Europe We fear there | mach room for retorm, in tespeet to them. fn England and France the political partizan has nc hopes of ever ascending the judicial bench It would, indeed, be a disqualifiestion there, but how often is it the subject of judicial reward here! A political judiciary is the most dangerous and the most contemptible of all legal establishments. ht seems almost impossible to add another ingredient of uegradation. Let us endeavor to reform thir evil. Let us be more careful in the selection ot our judges, and thea we shall have taken o \o reform the system of our administrative justice TRANSCENDENTALISM.—Calonic is negative, and yassive; cold is actual, dusting with gases in friction to nenonity, the primal being grildles, henee fry ing.
