An Elective Judiciary.

We copy the following from that excellent paper,
the Natchez Free Trader. We have doubt what
ever that the opinions expressed in favor Of the cleo
ton of Judges by the people, perfectly sound,
and that that method would be far superior, in every
respect its exercise by Legislative bodies. Let any
one witness, year after year, the bargaining intrigue,
and deception of every kind which is almost always
accompaniment of elections by Legislative bodies and
his doubts to the capacity of the people to exercise
the power more judiciously, and especially more hon.
estly, will soon vanish:
late number of the New Orleans Jeffersonsian Re-
pnhiiran contains communication from DIR. Edward De-
iuny, emtddying copies of a correspondence with Luke
Lea 81 Jackson, r. W. Tompkins of VIcksburg, u. w.
Cauhed of Liberty, w. l.. Sharkey, Chief Justice, and
Gen A. e. Brown, Governor Of the State, giving their
opinions Of the workings of the system OF elective
judiciary They unanimously declare that Il freer from
objections than any other mode, and what to be
hard to into the heads of the advocates of the old
regme that the people generally disest themselves of
marty considerations when choosing between rival cand
for the Judiciary, and take great pains TO obtain in
formation which is best qualified TO make a
iudge without reference to party pedilecnns. These
testimonials coming from the high sources whence they
emanaie are entitled much weight with the Louisiana
delegates her nton In session. They de-
rive additional value from the fact that they based
upon the observations of the workings Of the SYSTEM IN
this State for twelve years past, and all the genenen,
save Governor Brown, wings. We observe that the
Coucorda Integencer is advocating in able manner
the adoption of this democratic feature of govern
ment into the constitution be formed for that State.

The Webster "Renf.v

When Daniel Webster visited En- Gland a few years
ago. it will be remembered that the Merchants of the
Eastern cities made him up "pony purse" of $780,
OCO OF course he spent that in hurry for no man
can spend money faster than Daniel Webster. 1t
seems now that the Boston merchants have subscribed
fund (SlO0O00,) sufficient to support him in style
for life and, with more cuteneSS than before they
have funded The principal, that he cannot squander
it. allowing him to only the interest, which at
per cent. will be six thousand dollars year. Who
wouldn't be Wing at that rate of pay! The Wash
ingon correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says
The Bostonians have funded SIT 10000 for Mr.. Web
ster during his lifetime and afterwards TO his success
sors In consideration of the sacrifices he makes in
entering the Senate. Whatever msy be said about
s.Yankee meanness," they have method of doing
things on large scale honorable to their hearts
it is generous and self sacrificing.
No such example of liberalIty as this is on record
in the country, and whilst most parts of the Union
regard it as no small compliment TO send man to
Congress- here single city not only proud that one
of her distinguished sons will accept the honor, but
takes care to provide the whereby he shall live
as gentleman should in representing her interests
and dignity. Apart from the man 10 whom the tri-
butte has been paid, the highest credit rebounds to
Boston for this splendid precedent 1t is worthy Of
the Athens of America, and need not shrink from
comparison with any public act in the archives Of the
queen city of ancient history and glory.

.PorIx and DolIars.r

Last summer, while the canvass for the Presidency
was going on, certain Wing merchants and pork
packers here and elsewhere told the people that il
Mr.. Clay was elected, they should buy hogs largely
and give good price for them, but if Mr. Polk should
unfortunately be chosen, they should buy few if any,
and should only give the lowest prices; because,
they said Folks election would inevitably ruin all
kinds Of business, capital would evaporate in smoke
and nobody would have appetite enough left to cal
pork or bacon. Well, Polk elected, and what is
now the price of hogsl "Pork and Dollars" is nc
longer fguratire expression, but stern reality,
the Wing pork packers have no doubt by this time
found out Prices for Pork better than they have
been since 1910, and are still tending upward

Our Country:

Hunts Merchants Magazine INDUCES in the
following bold strain of prophecy in regard to the
progress of our glorious country. To see what he
predicts would be scarcely less wonderful than il is
to reflect what country is now compared to what
it was 20 years ago.
'There is but little doubt that the United States
destined ultimately to command all the trade in
the India and China seas. The supply Of cotton in
the United States including Texas, Is far beyond
what the wants of Europe require.
The English Government hope, by commanding the
exclusive route to China Egypt, by way Of the

negotiation is now pending between that power and
the Pacha) TO obtain news several weeks earlier than
It can be had In the United States; an advantage
which will give her merchants control Of the market
The diplomacy may succeed temporarily in this, but
the march of events will ultimately give the United
States the mastery. Her population is pushing, with
vigorous, rapid, and unceasing march, along line
,2tU miles extent towards the shores
of the Pacific.
The occupation of the vast territory knowH as the
Oregon is already going forward and twenty years
will not have elapsed, before powerful State will
have sprung up on the shores of the Pacific. The
great of the Oregon is drained by the Columbia

Whircery and Toryism.

Will any knowing Whig-and the party is very
knowing one, have the goodness to us the
following questions
Why is it that the Tory papers of Great Britain,
those most distinguished for hatred and abuse Of
America, and Amer cans WithOut single exception,
espouse the Ct Wings in opposition to the
Democrats! Why it that the party in Great Britain
which has evinced the bitter hostility towards
from the of Revolution to the present day. is
found bewailing in the breath, the downfall of
the Wings and the success Of the Democrats We
pause for reply-but aware that whiggery
is tongue-ted when the truth is be spoken will
tell the reason of the fact which have stated. II
is because the Wings more aristocratc in their
feelings, habits, and views of government and hence
more like the British Tories, and also because the
Wings supposed to be more ready to sacrifice the
interests and honor of their country those of
Great Britain.

Organization.

The Louisville Journal evidently anticipates defeat
Of Whiggery in Kentucky at the next elections and
earnestly exhors the Wings to avoid it if possible by
an efficient organization. Its suggestions in relation
to the nomination of candidates are quite as good for
the Democrats as the Wings, and we commend them
to our friends in this State, in the hope of seeing them
generally applied in practice. We have got a hard
battle to fight this year. and though we have no doubt
of successful issue, it only be made certain by
the most perfect aud concentration of our forces
The Wing leaders web know this, and it viii be their
policy to foster all the local divisions possible We
even hear it limited that they will run an Independent
candidate in this Congressional district if they can,
and bargain and buy wherever they cam by swapping
him off for members of the Legislature. No doubt
we shall have lots of BOGUS pocus; but they can't
