Naval Tribunals. XT has been asserted, and with apparent reason, that to organise tribunals so as to deserve and in- spire confidence, is one of the primary duties of legislation. Now, can any man, accustomed to reflect on the motives of human actions, think for a moment that naval courts martial can inspire, or are deserving confidence? Where is the fancied theoretical perfection in their structure, that can make a man cheerfully commit his life, his fortune, and his reputation, into their han...ds ? We have seen that they are composed of men comparatively destitute of edu- cation ; corrupted by power, and often strangers to religion and morality; that, as the naval laws and customs, which form their minds, are founded in injustice, as they can have no strong convic- tions of injustice hereafter to be punished ; and as its commission is never punished in the navy ; whenever their interest is concerned, they have no motives to be just. Such an opinion of them is not contradicted by any well known facts, but there are many which support it.
