JUDICIAL TENURE.

JUDICIAL TENURE.
We have heretofore kept silence upon
this very important subject, with the hope
that some argument might be brought for
ward by the loco focos, by which, we might
be able to perceive the benefits TO be de-
rived by the proposed change, as contem-
plated by the specious amendment TO the
Constitution" now favorite hobby with
that party. We have waited, however, in
vain, Not single advantage has been
proved, although many have been the ap-
peals of the loco foco press, to the popular
passions and prejudces of their partizan
followers. Our opinion Of this agragrian
measure need not occupy much space.
OF all the barefaced attempts, that ever
were made to bring a people subservient TO
agrarian laws and party policy, none is
more dangerous to the LIBERTIES of ma.
ton, than TO make the Sanctuary of Public
Justice, and the High Priests Of the Law,
mere party tools. Common sense, equity,
human nature. the political and historical
experience Of every Nation, and every age,
teach US that there must be in every WE'LL
regulated community, at least, ONE guaran-
against the momentary caprice or prejudice
OF the mass,-one branch of our popular
institutions, which, in every case, may be
capaOe, and all-powerfuI, in administer
ing Jmtice, independent of indirect influ-
ences aud barriers.
In fact well regulated and respected
judiciary power, is the grand pivot, on
which rests the whole structure of Poiti-
cal and Civil Liberty. Deprive this power
of its Independence, make it subservient TO
the will or caprice of party, and its eff
cheney, and preserving qualities, are at
once destroyed. The natural consequences
will be, that our Courts of Law, will no
longer have to decide, what is the Law
what is Equity or Justlce?-but only,
al hat is the aoiH or caprice Of the MA
JORITY, or Of the constituency by which
the Judge is placed upon the Bench?"-
Let such state Of things be introduced,
and the independence of the Judiciary,
will only be prac,ised for the public good.
in the same way tina. ",Swart,coui," and
"P,ice," and other kindred spirits, have
understood the term, and its procticaloper-
alton.
Our srJ-styled democratic administra-
ton men, love SO much LIBERTY, they can
not rest satisfied, believe their liberty
complete, until honorable and independent
Judges, cease to exist; and of course an
adverse opinion must be voted as nuisance
But we hope the good people of Maine,
arc yet too vlrluous. just, and moral to
sanction such a suicidal blow at their Lib.

DEMOCRATIC WINGS OF LIN

The cry has been raised, by the loco TO-
CO presses. in every section of the Sue,
that the Wings are engaged in grand Sc
cret electioneerng campaign. We all
know the object of this false alarm; it i, to
gull and mislead the unwary Whig-the
honest democrat, and the Independent con-
and democratic Wings, of Old Lincoln,
that 70 such organization, as the loco loco
presses speak of, exists, except so far as
applies to their own party. We are yet to
do, all that we propose doing, which is sim
ply to state our principles, nominate good
and substantial candidates, and then APP

est measures will not sustain a party, or
bring a party in power, it is self-evident,
that that party should not have the power.

that we might call the attention of every
Wing in this district, to the notice, at the
head of this article, for Convention of
