JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT

We announce with great pleasure the appoint-
ment of Hon. Levi Woodbury. tu the vacancy on
the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States, caused by the death Of Judge Story IL
is high trust like that of the President of The
United States, neither to be sought nor declined
Mr.. Woodbury. has not sought it, and the coun-
try requires that he should not decline it, His
position, ability. experience soundness and pre-
eminent fitness for the office, directed all ewes to-
ward him as the man, as soon the vacancy oc-
Cured, and he has received the appointment, as
1t should only be made in such case, from the
spontaneous action Of the appointing power The
promptness with which the President has made
the selection renders it still higher tribute to
the position of Mr.. Woodbury., as the safest and
soundest constitutional lawyer To whom so crave
trust could be committed. That he will accent
1t, under such circumstances, we cannot doubt !:
for though 1t sewers him from direct political ac-
ton in the field, the Cabinet, or the Senate
Chamber, In all OF which he has stood unsorpass-
ed 1t nevertheless reserved his great abilities and
sound principles for the service of the people at
point where, more than any other in our nstitu-
tons, is required fearless sentinel to guard their
constitutional rights.
This consideration reconces us 10 the transfer
of Mr.. Woodbury. from the Senate to tho Bench /;
and in his appointment we can congratulate not
party merely, but the whole people. that one so
dignlfed in manner and courteous in department.
so able in learning and so sound in doctrine, has
been selected to supply the place of the late
Judge Story. With the New England bar, of
all parties, we believe the appointment will be
more acceptable than that of any LAWYER who
could have been selected in the circuit, holding
political views IN accordance with the national
administration.

On "Wednesday Thursday and Friday, of last

work of destruction was still going on.
