Office no 80 Ann street until the LIST of May.
fc- The Courier e. Enquirer, in farther discuss
ing the subject OF Convention, cites Hon Geo T.
Barker and the Morning News as In favor oil some
eort of an Elective Judiciary, and proceeds
"And the TrI5un. which at frat very indignantly and
very coasely denied that any sHch intention was enter
taned yer, essentially modified It's original assertion
contents itself with discaimng any positive En1s-
Ledge Of such scheme.
We beg leave most respectfully TO remind the
Courier, once more and for the last time, that we
have neper denied that "any such intention was
entertained" If it had charged tina, the intention
is entertained OF dividing all the Property In the
State pro rata and interdicung Marriage and Pub
lie Worship henceforth, or any thing else within
the scope Of dl,temPered or inventive fancy, we
could not have denied it. What we did deny, and
do deny and challenge the Courier TO prove, Is It's
charge made on the 25th ult tina.
"The radical Why's &c. intend to make the Chan
csor Judges of the Supreme Court and indeed every 1u
dicla officer, elective by the People
We have vainly tried repeatedly to bring the
Courier TO face thia CHARGE and either establish or
retract it, Surely, if the radical Wings have
proposed any such change, and Tor the paltry pur-
pose of proving themselves more Democratic than
the Loco. Foc0s, the evidence must be easy OF al
tainment And yet the Courier, while protesting
to sustain and justify it, has resorted TO more shifts
and tricks than ever did Fastai in evadlns the ur-
gent and homes, demands Of his landlady. One oi
It's last quibbles imported that
"The Editor [of The Trbrne] nell knons that the
Editors of the Albany Evening journal have always open
y and above board declared that such Is Of the great
objects OF those who advocate Convention"
To ,.. could nnlv internnue dsnial tho ,c,
kne,r any such matter; but the Evening Journal
knocks the whole story in the head as follows:
Our friends Of the Courier and Enquirer have fallen
into error relation the and opinions Of the
Evening Journal We certainly have made any
tuch declaration attributed and we learn for the
nrst e, that all p Albany who advocated Convention
openly admitted that under Constitution the whole
Judiciary the wosd become Eiedire Nothing oil
this is 10 be found In the Speeches OF the Wing Members OF
the Legislature who advocate Convention. Nothing OF
the kind has been either avowed admitted so fur
we are Informed, In conversation.
We believe we need say no more on this head
The Courier goes on to talk of The Tribune s
"professed faith in the infaHibihty Of roiing.''-
We have no such faith, and of course make no
such profession The People are liable 10 be mis-
led or imposed upon, and sometimes choose the
less worthy or capable OF two candidates for their
confidence. If it were proved that Governors and
Senates are "infalible," we should feel much
stronger repugnance TO an Elective Judiciary than
we now do. But when we see most unfit and un-
deserving individuals frequently appointed to Judi
cial stations, and when we observe that the rival
parties in our Town Elections are compelled, al
most uniformly 10 nominate good candidates for
Justice of the Peace or lose thus office and endan-
ger Jheir whole ticket, we are compelled to believe
that, if County Judges were chosen by the People,
say for seven or ten years. they would be more ca
pable and deserving in the average than they now
are. Yet we do not advocate this or any specific
Judicial Reform, not having yet sufficiently eI-
amined the subject.

regret the unseemly and malevocnt censorousncss
IN which these journals habltualy indulge and would
affec,onaeiy admonlsh themte initiate the courtesy
and decency of the Political Press, which they now
VIGOROUSLY come short of. We do no, call each
other any thing worse than ruiians and scoundrels
except under great provocalon, and if they would
use the terms InGdel and Idolater,' enemies OF
vital godlness &c. &c. less proiusely, those terms
would be held to mean good deal more when
they rere used so that the aggregate effectiveness
of their vituperation would not be diminished,
while much space and character would be saved

when such paragraph as that above quoted shall

LoUIsnNA-IAe Conrcntion This body yirtu-
ally terminated its labors the l4h inst. when the
vote was taken on the approval or rejection Of the
New Constitution as a whole, and stood-Yeas 55,
Nays l5. Those who voted in the negative mainly
did so because Of the section which prescrbes that
the Captol of the State shall never be located less
than sixty miles from New-Orleans The Const-
tuuon would be enrolled for signature next morn
ing, when the Convention would adjourn, sine die
