Crawford, the celebrated champion ofre-
has hledged himself to make

if he should, peradventure, be elected
President ofthe United States. AS there
is no little ambiguity in the p-.raseoiogy
Of the writer Of this paragraph, it is be-
Iieved we vii not be thought imprudent
or presuming when we ask of the Secre-
tary an explanation Of his views Of ia broad
bottom. He must, in making this pledge
to the people, imply that the adninis,ra-
tons of asbington, Adams, Jefferson,
Madison, and Monroe, have had either
no bottom at all, or very narrow one,
aud we are inclined the more to the be-
lief that this is the meaning of the Sc
cretary, because he seems to think il is
the only method to eradicate the hre-

and speculation, introduced during the
Administrations Of some, or aIlof the
above named gentlemen. If the peo-

/ 1t will then be necessary TO inquire
whether5th department has been con-
Quoted as the trainers of the constitution
intended il should be?
las the officer speculatcd upon the
public funds Has he pursued a course
calculated to keep up the credit of the
local currency of the state, (Which as
Treasurer it was his duty to do) or not j?
Has he faithfully deposited 10 the public
Golfers the same money that came to him
N Paym ent Of debts due 10 the state
Ii these, andlall other things proper to
be done, have been performed, we have
a faithful public officer, and he ought to
be continued. But if they have not been
done, 1t viii be your duty, as it will be
yonr right, to select another in his stead.
You have also Senator to Congress
to elect. The election Of an individual
to represent the state, for the term oftwo
years, in the lower house, has never fad
ed TO engage the serious attention of the
people. When you are electing Sena-
tor for six years, should you not also re-
fleet most seriously ontbe subject.
There are at present but Two indivi-
duals spoken of as candidates for that
high and honorable statlon-Judee Rey-
no!ds and Judge Thomas.-Of their re-
specllve claims you are tobe the Judges,
you are to decide between them.
Judge Reynolds has filled high and
responsible station for four years, and il
is said he has never failed to attendto his
dnty when he was able. Has such been
the course pursued by Judge Thorn as
when he held Judicial station Did
he not show less anxiety to hold his
courts then, than he now does to secure
votes to elect him
Did he then ride as diligently to serve
The people, as he now does to see the
members of the Legislature
In relation TO these men, no enc will
deny that Judge Reynolds has talents al
laas' edaal (and think decidedly supe-

nnds has grown up amongst us--he has
risen to responsibility by his own exer-

70 the Members IF The Legislature.
A good government consists Of sound
principles faithfully reduced to practice
by honest aud intelligent men, to whom
the powers of such government are ne .
cessarily con6ded. Principles, there
fore, are not more important, than #. men
to reduce them 10 practice.
That we have government based up
on the soundest political principles ever
yet recognized by any people, seems no
where to be controverted. To carry
certain portion of those principles into
practice, you are now selected. A GER
tain other portion Of them are to be car
ried into effect by men TO be ahaointed
by you.
At your next session Chief Justice
is to be appointed He is to stand at the
head Of your Judiciary. Upon him the
ermine Of Justice is to be spread. This
sacred trust is placed in your hands BY
the people. Their lives, their fortunes,
and their regulations, often depend upon
the decision Of the law. Can any thing
therefore be more important than the Sc
lection ola virtuous, and enlightened ci.
tizen to fill that station.
When placed in the Judgment seat
he should be a stranger to all parties that
come before him. He should have
neither friends nor enemies. So perfect
y should his appointment be the reward
of his merit that he should not be con-
sidered as having opened his lips to So
licit support for,he station. The indie.
pendence of our courts, is the palladium
Of our civil rights. You have, in COM
mon with your constituents, therefore, a
deep interest in the choice you have to
make.
You also have a State Treasurer to
appoint. He presides over the money
ed affairs Of the state. You should,
therefore, select an honest, and an INTEL
ligent citizen to that station.
The fact that the constitution provides
for the election Of this officer once in
every two years, proves, thatt conven.
ton intended TO have honesty hractised
in that department. Knowing the incli-
nation that the handling Of money pro-
duces to speculate, and convert it to the
use of the party himself, this frequency
Of appointment was intended as q re-
straint upon that inclination,

comparisons, it was the peoDe's--they have
done SO, and we are satisfied"

/ The editors of the Intel.igeacer, previous TO
the election, as indiriduals, were decidedly OPP
posed to the election Of Mr. Coles, and they
voted against him at ie'polls As soon, how
ever, as it was ascertained that he was elected,
they" blazoned forth'' in their columns, their
"opinion," that Mr.. Coles qualifications and
requirements were vastly superior to those of
either of his competitors. We asked them to
give the true reason, why they could not have
drawn this comparison, as well 5efare as after
the election. Their answer, which is contain
ed in the paragraph above quoted, has no re
lation to the question. Surely, the editors of

And autumn's leaves are futiering down.,

The earth in gloom is shrouded.

On dust Of friends Departed.

officers of the Palmyra are still confined,

The Hon. WIN. Ii. Wick, presiding
Judge OF the fifth Judicial circuit of this
state, has decided that the statute pro-
siding for trials by inry before a justice OF
the peace for riots, rouls, ARRAYS and
breaches OF the peace, is demonstrations
al. The clause of the constitution which
this statute is supposed TO coniravene,
provides.
That no person arrested, or confined
in Jail, shall be treated with unnecessary
rigor, or be put to answer any criminal
charge but by presentment, Indictment
or Impeachment"
a similar decision has been made by
the Hon. Judge CALI, in the first Judi

cognized as good law, all officers who
have collected fines und n the statute
