Wirt, though a Republican, a.s.serted that ”the functions to be performed by the Supreme Court ... are among the most difficult and perilous which are to be performed under the Const.i.tution. They demand the loftiest range of talents and learning and a soul of Roman purity and firmness.

The questions which come before them frequently involve the fate of the Const.i.tution, the happiness of the whole nation.” (Wirt to Monroe, May 5, 1823, Kennedy, II, 153.)

”Federal politics are no way dangerous on the bench of the Supreme Court,” adds Wirt. (_Ib._ 155.)
