From the Boston Centinel.
REPEAL OF THE JUDICIARY.
On this subject, we have devoted a large portion of this day's Centinel, to the insertion of the speech of Gen. Mason, of Virginia, entire. We are pleased, that we have an opportunity, with truth and sincerity, to return the compliment paid by the "National Intelligencer," to the speech of Mr. Morris; and, without taking into consideration the merits of the specific question under debate, to say of Gen. Mason's speech, that for elegance of style, and energy of expression, it stands pre-eminent amongst the best specimens of eloquence we ever remember to have been recorded.—As to the cogency of its arguments, we too will say nothing.—The people who read can and will decide. For ourselves, we are happy that our National Councils contain men of such talents: Whatever may be their political prejudices or delusions, their abilities do honor to our country.
