Our friend, J. A. Fl. will perceive we
publish his communication. We not design
TO enter into any controversy on the matters
in question. There is wide difference Of
opinion between US on the subjects-a diff
ference founded in our respective natures,
and We should as soon hope TO argue him or
any one else so constituted out Of his pecu-
liar views, as we should, by force of argu-
ment, to cure himsof the toothache. The
public will judge on the essential point Of diff:
ference between US, viz: that those peculia-
rites Of character which lead people 10 as
sociate together as church members, do not
necessarily, and indeed never do,affect their
general character. Ills no trouble to make
assumptions, but that we are right, the ex-
perence Of every man who ever came in
contact with the world, teaches.

Cur, Us FAcr.-A farmer in Vermont,
last season, was behind his neighbors in
cutting the grass in his meadows. At
night some waggish boys went INFO one of
his meadows and cut down all the grass in
ii. They also went into his potato patch,
and cut a few swaths through it. At tho
time of digging potatoes they were found
rotten, ercept arhere the boys had cut off the
tops; and there they were all found good
and sound. This would seem to show
thatthe disease bigins in the tops, and it
suggests as means of saving crop the
cutting off the tops so soon as the tops be-
gin 10 die.

The Racine Advocate seems to think
that judges, should not be allowed the right
of suffrage during their term of Office
The editor says: Snow it would be our
desire TO see all judges deprived Of even
voice in our political affairs This is a.
most singular doctrine;-we have never
doubted the policy of DISTINGUISHING man
for gross criminal ofence,as is now pre-
scrbed by law, but 10 deprive man Of
this invaluable right, simply because he
holds responsible position in the govern.
ment is certainly violation of the spirit
of our free institutions. Why should
judges be deprived from having voice in
public affairs more than any other class OF
citizens? Are they required to administer
the law without fear or partially? SO are
Justices Of the peace. Five sxths Of the
law business of the country is transacted
in justice courts, and we can conceive of
no argument that judges should be deprived
Of voice in political affairs, which would
not equally apply TO justices Of the peace.
we have better opinion Of human nature,
as frail as il is, than to believe that we
have none among US TO whom we can safe
ly commit high and responsible trusts. with
out excluding them from the privileges of
the ballot box.
We shall hereafter continue our remarks
on the subject Of the judiciary, as there are
a great variety Of matters connected with
the organization Of that branch Of the gov.
eminent, whiuh should be fully discuss
ed preparatory to the approaching con-
vention TO form state constitution.

First, the President replied to Mr.. Inger'

ster's use Of the secret service money OF
the United States, that he would not be
warranted in making any exposure of the
secrets of his predecessors. If Congress
thought proper, it might repeal tho law
giving the President the money thus to nse
secretly; but, there being such law in ex'
istence, it would be virtual violation Of it
for him to make the matter public. II
Congress sees fit to send a Committee, he
will allow the Committee 10 make a conf.

The other information called for with
resolutions was submitted. Mr.. lngersoll
claims great victory over Mr.. Webster:
An angry debate here sprung up, which
was finally disposed of by laying the whole
matter upon the table.
Next came message FROM the Senate
that it had disagreed to the amendment of

Great excitement in the House,s and many
points of order raised. Finally, the motion
was made that tie House recede from its a

showed about dozen majority for insist

The probability is that the house will finally

adopted Tie vote in the Senate stood ~
