OUR COUNTY COURT SYSTEM
NO. H..

Mr. Editor:-Since the appearance of an arti-
Gle upon this subject in the old Dominion, of
Doth March, have been not a little surprised at
the apologies for the system offered by some call
ing themselves, and who are. doubt not, true
democrats. That political opponents should
cling te this dear relict of their favorite doc
trine, of the responsibility of public officers to
the people, is not strange. That they, who are
forever harpng upon the ignorance and want of
virtue among the people, while they strive to the
utmost, to prevent the diffusion of knowledge,
except within their circles, and thence de-
duce arguments against the perpetuty Of Free
Institutions, should labor to bolster up anv and
every arbitrary system remaining in our glorious
Old Commonwealth, is perfectly in accordance
with the whole past history of the party Con

been favorlte article in the creed of Torvism.

and earth has ordained, viz: Virtue, oppose, if
they please, every effort to eradicate existing de-

them dare resist us in our efforts to reduce the
practice the tyrant killing theory that the gov
eminent is ours, and that we have the right to
control what is our own they shall know that we
do possess the power TO reform without their aid
and in defiance of their most bitter opposition
But in order 10 this, we must be united both as
to the end and the means. And in respect to the
change which the cause of justice, of equal RIGHTS.
and of Republicanism in Virginia requires should
be made in :" Our County Court System" it is
matter Of regret that there should be found those
in the Democratic ranks to object to any change
on the ground Of its having so long continued
The objection has been urged that since the
present plan has gone on for so many years i
should not be changed. What doctrine is this
If an arbitrary despotism has existed for ayes over
the nations of the old world are we to be told that
no change should be made for that cause Is the
evil less because it has long been borne? :" All
experience has shown that mankind are more dis
posed to suffer, while evils are suferabe, than to
right themselves by aboIishng the forms to which
they are accustomed" But shall that very in.

WHAT IS LIFE E?
BY GEO. NJ. KEIM.

BY GEO. NJ. REIM.
What is life lingering breath
The anguish of decay.
quick step insthc march of death!
Greatness of yesterday.
And what ID death go ask the tomb,
The silence of our woes
The pious pilgrims peaceful home,
The weary worlds rcposc
Eternity say what art thou?
Dew drop of thousand years?
The spirits rest, the patriots VOW
The balm of sorrows tears!
AND what is hope? twinkling star!
promise set in heaven!
A radiant light that shines afar
pledge of sins forgiven
When passing through life's itful dream.
Death comes at last in view,
ETERNITY unfolds the scene,
And HOPE has bliss for YOU.

The PoTATo RoT IN New JERsEY-Na,han
Stowell, of Burlington, has been directing his at

produced fine crop of new potatoes from tubers
