Excerpt from book:
Second Lecture. On last Friday evening, gentlemen, you will remember that I closed my remarks by some observations on the division which the Constitution made of the powers to he exercised by the national government into the three departments, legislative, executive, and judicial. As students of law, I take it for granted that the branch of the government in which you are most interested, or at least in which you are most interested in having an exposition of its powers and duties, is the judicial branch, and that is the subject ou which I propose to address you this evening. After the manner of the clergy, I presume that the best thing I can do is to read you my text; and as the whole chapter is not a very long one, although a very important one, I will read you the third article of the Constitution. That instrument devotes one article to the legislative, one to the executive, and one to the judicial branch, and these are the main articles of the Constitution. There are then some provisionsestablishing private rights; some provisions concerning the powers of the two houses; but the main body of the Constitution is to be found in the three articles. The judicial article comes third and last. It says: " The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. "SEC. 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be...
