Note 1251 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
Four days after the House adopted Webster's bill (ib. 1149), he wrote his brother: "The judiciary bill will probably pass the Senate, as it left our House. There will be no difficulty in finding perfectly safe men for the new appointments. The contests on those constitutional questions in the West have made men fit to be judges." (Webster to his brother, Jan. 29, 1826, Priv. Corres.: Webster, i, 401.)
