EXTRACT FROM SWIFT.

"lhere is society among US bred up from their
youth in the art OF proving, by words multiplied for
the purpose, that white is black and black is white,
according as they are paid. To this society all The
rest o. the people are slaves. For example, if my
neghbor has mind 10 my cow, he has lawyer to
prove that he ought to have my cow from me
must then hire another to defend my hit, 1t being
against all rules of law that any man should be al.
lowed to speak for himself Now in this case, |,
who am the right owner, lie under two grea dis
advantages first, my lawyer, being practsed al
most from his cradle in defending falsehood, is quite
out OF his element when he would be an advocate
for justice, which is an unnatural Office, he always
attempts with great awkwardness, if not with III
will The second disadvantage Is, that my LAWYER
must proceed with great caution, or else he will be
reprinanded By the Judges, and abhorred by his
brethren, one that would lesson the practice of
the taao: and, therefore, have but two methods to
preserve my cow The first is 10 gain over my adj
versary's lawyer with double fee, who will then
betay his client by insinuatng that he has justice
on his side. The second way is for my lawyer to
make cause appeal as unjust as he can, by all
lowing the COW to belong to my adversary and this,
If it be skilfully done, aoW certainly bespea the
tacOr Of the Judges. Now these Judges are per-
sons appointed beside all controversies OF property
as well as for the trial of criminals, and picked out
from the most dexterous lawyers who are grown
old and lazy and having been BIASED all their lives
against truth and equity, lie under such fatal ne
cessity of favoring fraud, perjury and oppression,
that have known some Of them refuse large bride
from the side where justice lay, rather than nure
the profession by doing any thing unbecoming their
nature or Office There is, however, a third mode,
had almost forgotten TO save COW, get tavern
license, or sale set aside or 10 get road or to save
thief from the whipping post, or grogseller from
fine, good fee to relation of the Judge
1t is a maxim among theselawyers that whatever
has been done before may be legally done again.
and therefore they take special care to record all
the decisions formerly made against common JUS
tice, and the general reason of mankind. These,
under the name of presidents, they produce to JUS
tiiy the most Ubiquitous opinions and the judges
never fail OF directing accordingly.
In pleading they studiously avoid entering into
the merits OF the cause but are loud, violent and
tedious in dwelling upon all circumstances which
are not TO the purpose. For instance, in the case
already mentioned they never desire TO know what
little my adversary has to my COW but whether
the said COW were red or black; her horns long or

FOR THE WATcHMAN.

n ytew plain reasons, achy Chief Justice Booth
| should not be supported for Governor of the
S ate Of Delamare.
| The equal distribution of offices where competent
individuals to be found to fill them. ought never
| to be lost sight OF in free country The Constu.
ton provides against one person holding two offices
~ many instances. and il certainly never intended
hat any officer should appoint his successor. But
lyet it Judge Booth is voted for and succeeds he is
IGovernor:eect and Chief Justice at the same time
he holds one Office, until he goes into the other, and
then says who is 10 succeed him The evil conse-
lquences which may arise from the PEG, lie counter
aDcing such conduct obvious and great To men
ton one, 1t gives him the opportunity OF securing
support from the most powerful interest the party,
| by promising The Chief Justices office TO iasoritt
individual make me Governor and you shall be
Chief Justice Time only can show whether the re-
port be uniounded that the leading lnteres, in Kent
County has been so secured. 1t is but fair to admit
that this objection may be done away by resignation
before the election
Judge Booth has received his full share of Office,
and should not now stand in the way OF those who
are equally deserving and who have not had their
share Rotation in office ought not TO be forgotten
Judge Booth has been in lucrative offices Tor mole
than forty-6ve years. Justite of the Peace Clerk
OF the Orphans Court; Clerk OF the Peace Clerk
of the Supreme Court; Recorder Secretary o.
olate Cletk OF the Rouse OF Assembly, and hie
Justice, in which time he has received at a very
moderate calculation more than forty.6ve thousand
dollars Two members of his family are in office in
New Castle County, and he will be enabled to, and
doubtless very naturally will bestow Offices upon
Others OF them if he be elected.
Judge Booth is aged and infrm, past the age when
many Of our sister States consider man no longer
fit Tor Judge-his is delicate subject, but ur-
doubtedy such facts render man peculiarly liable
10 rhuence and apt to give way to family alta,
ments 1t has been the tlmost uniform practice in
our State to select the Governor from the ndepen-
dent and intelligent farmers, and we see no reason
why this course should now be departed from on
either side, TO throw the office into the hands Of pro.
fessonal men
The selection of candidates for Governor from the
Judges of Our Courts will have a most dangerous
tendency to affect the independence of the Judiciary
Judges Dug never to look any further, they will
look TO he Governors Office when the time Of in
unity approaches as retreat from more arduous
duties TO less service and more emolument. This
will induce them to court popularity from the bench,
and we shall find politics ruling and governing in a
place they ough never to enter-our Courts of
Justice.
These reasons, among others, will prevent my vo'
ting for Judge Booth as Governor.
