SUPREME CoURs OF ILLINOIS, Sometime since
we expressed our entire lack of confidence in the
Supreme Court of Illinois, believing that its decs-
ions have generally turned more upon expediency,
(aving the of the wing party for their high
est ohject,) than upon law, common sense and JUS
tice Lately it has strengthened our former opin.
ions by an act beneath the dignity ola court of that
character which it should sustain. Abouttwo years
ago, suit was brought against Il whig judge of an
election in Ga!cna by brother wing, for permitting
an unnaturalized foreigner TO vote. Judge Stone
gave decision against the right Of such to VOTE
These beautiful birds Of the same feather, backed by
the moreycd wings agreed to carry it up to the Su-
premc Court for It's decision. After some hesitation
about acting Oh feigned case between this small fry
the parties being the tools of yelled masters-thc
case was taken up, ana an opinion prepared con-
frming the decision of the court below, but in
sequence Of an error in the record, It was rot then
delivered. A majority of the bench wings will
ling to their power and influence to revolutionze
the State and throw it into of the federal pow
cr With these gIaring facts before the Legislature,
bill changing the Judiciary system was reported at
the present session. 1t prescribed such change as
would destroy this political feeling which has guided
it in every case where their decision could effect any
thing for their party. During the discussion on
Tits ,,i,i tire supreme court authorized judge Smith,
Democrat, to give the opinion of the Court, revers-
ing the decision of the court below, by declaring for
eigncrs legal voters according to the laws of the
State, but cautiously avoided committing themselves
on the constitutionaity of the law upon which the
decision was based, that when the excitement which
this bill has Produced shall pass away their object
can be comoshed by declaring the law unconsti-
tutonal.
The bill has created much excitement in Spring
field, and great futering among the wounded pi-
geous. AS some of the Democrats are opposed to
it, its fate is doubtful.

dc!yta - the former Superintendent was not
well pca-ed with either of the reports 20 the Legs
lature and, at his instance another committee was
raised to make further investigations. This latter
committee made some progress and were discharged
at the suggestion, VIC understand, of the gentleman
at whose instance it was rased.'' Such is not the
fact Mr.. Swan did and does feel that Injustice was
done him, aad asked more thorough examination.
A committee appointed in the Council, and
Withdrawn by small majority, against the wishes of
Mr.. Swan and his friends, not because the Council
was satisfied with the report, but because an exam
ination could not be made ia time to report during
that session Of the Legislature. Such then, arc the
grounds upon which he bases an understanding that
Mr.. Swan desired the withdrawal of that committee

TnE TERnY-AcA1x.-The Standard of Friday
last contains communication from X. F. Lowe,
Esq. correcting some misapprehcnsions into which
he presumed few Of his ellow-citizens had fallen
touching his course the subject of the ferry, and
continues by volunteering an opinion against the
right of the corporation to the ferry privileges at this
place, as granted by the Legislative Assembly. He
anticipates protracted law suit between the copo-
ration and Mr.. Warfell, and says that his efforts
have been mainly directed to avoid it, but he fears
without success. We would deprecate vexatious
law suit as much as Mr.. L., yet if Mr.. Wayfield shall
contest the right of the corporation VIC hope to sec
the matter tested. 1t may cost the corporation a
greater amount than it can we'll spare, but the end
vii! justify its application, let the decision for or
against its right If are to be ruled by corpora
TONS the earlier we learn the fact the better. Then
our Legislature can sec the danger of multiplying
their number, and the necessity Of safely guarding
all necessary ones before all our rights are cgislated
away.

SILLIMAN's "AMERIcAN JOURNAL OF ARTS
AND ScIENcEs"-This is publication that would
do honor to any country, and is worthy of a more
extended patronage as it is in high degree, cacu
lated to promote the welare and prosperity of
own favored land, by collecting in focus the scat
tering facts of the Ats and Sciences with new dis
covcries, and disseminating them among the lovers
of the same. This work. under the editorial man
agement of the talented Professor of Chemistry of
Yale College, has attained degree of celebrity
which places it in the front rank, not only of Amer
lean Periodicals. but of Journals of similar descrip
ton throughout the scientific world, and at once
entities it to place the shelf Of every man who
makes any prenson to scientific scholarship.
We arc happy to greet its appearance among us,
and would direct the attention of our learned read
