,L,t the usurpation of an authority not legally
,'ssas.ed by a Judge, or the manifest abuse OF a
LIVER really given, was a misbehavior IT the

dismissed from Office. He cOntended, that the
cooduct of Judge Peck, in the case OF MI. Law

letter from Washington. published in the
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer Jackson paper says
Whatever our decided wishes and prefer
ences nav be. have become firmly persuaded
that there will be three candidates IN the held at
the next Presidential election. L am not at pre-

early warning. 1t IS for them to direct and de-
termlne what shall be the result"
