Comments on the Judiciary Bill, "It would be better in my opinion not to increase the number of judges of the S. Court. Let the number remain the same, and discharge them from Circuit duties, and give to each Circuit a judge, who should not be one of the Judges of the S Court." Discusses the bankruptcy bill, internal improvements and appropriations. "It is whispered that the Federalists intend putting up a Federalist for Lieut. Governor and that they are determined to have a council to keep Gov. Lincoln in order." He also discusses congressional posts. "If however amalgamation, called by the poet 'corruption's last born heir' fails, the republicans will succeed in electing a maj. of republicans for branches of the government."
