The act OF Assembly creating our District Court
for the city and county Of Philadelphia, expires on
the 3Oth Of March next, SO that new judges will be
subject OF much conflict and, we regret to say,
political strife; We think, OF all officers Of the 60
vern1mept. judges should be appointed without re-
gard to their politics. We have already excellent
officers, at salary Of two thousand dollars per
mum, with deduction of two per cent taxes.
Either OF the judges could tall back upon the bar,
and realize, from their chamber practice, twice that
sum- Reports have been rite OF their intended re
signation. They are honorbe, learned and just
men. God preserve US from political hacks-w
have our full share already in the person Of one.
meeting was held last night in the State House,
corner OF Sixth and Chesnut streets, in favor oi
uniting all our little corporations into one, thus
making the city extend throughout all the liberties.
IT is OF importance this should be accomplished.
1t will, however, be opposed by all the little kings
in the surrounding disricts-such as mayors, COM
mssioners, solicitors, &C.. &C., il will clip the r
wings, and rob them of all their greatness.
