tain judicial tunctionarleg, undor the direct
appointment of the people, whom they are de-
signed to serve. and consequently, to render
them amenable TO the same tribunal for the
faithful discharge of their official duties.
We suppose that an eiisrt will be made to
bring all these topicep and some others. before

Ph5lo- Reform in eur columns to-day, our good
and ancient Creole population, NAV, we ina

and privileges by this convention. Their
presses are to be muazlod, and they them
selves condemned to silence, because under
the early institutions of Louisiana, tloy were
not taught English.
