Description:Excerpt from A Defence, Illustrative of Judge Scott's Character: And Containing a Reputation of Certain Charges Made Against A. J. Marshall The bitter and vengeful spirit in which I am assailed by the Hon. Judge Scott and his son, Robert E. Scott, in their joint reply to the pamphlet of M. P. Brooke, Esquire, compells me to appear before the public in defence of my own conduct, and character. Except in an extreme case, where great and extended mischief, which can be reached in no other way, has been effected, I do not think that individuals are justified in obtruding their private grievances upon the public. The Judicial tribunals of our country, in most cases, furnish a more appropriate redress, or, a resort to those individual remedies above and beyond the control of all law, save public opinion, is far more congenial to an offended and outraged spirit. But, in the present instance, there is no competent redress for the injury sustained, except in an appeal to the public, before whom I have been arraigned by my accusers. The courts are too tardy, and their verdicts are, at best, inadequate, whilst all other remedies are forbidden to me. It is known to my adversaries, that I am not, as other men, free to resent injury, and avenge outrage, by resort to those personal remedies before referred to. The claims of my large and growing family for bread and education, are paramount to all other considerations. My helpless condition, whilst it has rendered me most forbearing and cautious to invade the rights and outrage the feelings of others, ought to be, and is, with magnanimous spirits, my guard and protection against aggression. But, the impunity resulting from my peculiar relations to society, seems to have furnished an additional incentive to the outrage and violence with which 1 have been treated by both Judge Scott and his son. The low and unworthy personal abuse, and the vulgar epithets to which both the father and son have resorted, are examples for others to follow; for myself, I look upon a resort to such weapons, in a controversy like this, as an open acknowledgment that reason and argument, and truth, would furnish to them no protection. My true defence, and justification, is found in a simple presentation of facts, in a narative which will exhibit my conduct and motives, and also their conduct and their motives.
