EREDERIfK COUNTY.

The County Court OF Frederick has assumed to
itself high prerogative. Because the Governor
has thought proper, in difference 10 fair and i'm
partial justice, to coT.msson 2 only of the %
magistrates recommended, the Court refused to
qualify these who presented themselves at the
last term. 1t so happens, we learn. that ma
jority of those newly Commissioned. were Demo-
Gratis and on this groiInd, for there can be no
other, the Court refused TO let them qualify The
matter will come up gain at TIE April term,
when the magistrates .or the whole county are
summoned to be preseNi,
The Wings have managed by seine means or
other to get majority;sof the Coun'y Courts, III
four out Of every five counties in the State. it
is high time that the italuence Of This miserable
and selfperpetuatng body, was being cnrtailed,
and at least some even s.ud fair handed justice in

or Federal, why the C:unty Courts of Virginia
engender more politic;,i corruption, exercise a
more dangerous influence upon the body polite,

TuE WING PARTY.

The force and truth of the following remark,
must be apparent. The Wing Party and the Wing
press can find nothing worthy of communication,
either with the men or measures ofthe Democrat
ie party.
Ifbere is any one thing for which the Wing
Fessis remarkable, it is for the spirit OF undevla-
ting Injustice. While it is plain that from the
characters of the worst men, some redeemlng
ttaits sill now and then flash forth, Democratic
statesmen present but one broad and sterile surface
o; imEecility and dishonesty to Wing newspapers
With them, every action springs from bad mo-
tive and goodness itself is blackened by the hide
o.1sness of the moral indirection which prompts
it, Never, amid all the trying political events
through which MIR. Roll has passed-througha all
the great changes which his administration has
irdeliby impressed upon the political history OF
the couDtry-changes in which he has borne HIM
self with a firmness to pledged principles, and an
ability more than answering the most sangulne
expectations of his friends; never we say, have
"e found in Wing paper one slightest tribute OF
generous admiration to the noble bearing OF a DIS
tihguisied adversary. Detracton has logged
at his heels malice has hurled its dirtlest
Shafts At his character; and malignity has delight
ed in i;o efforts to make him ridiculous. But
thanks To the spirit of 8. Old Hickory" breathed
nto this young political scion OF the sage now
gathered to his fathers; and thanks TO that noble
Consciousness of right, which gives power to hold
on in the path of right and duty, Mr. Polk is living
down all these ephemeral efforts Of luminosity, and
is daily writing upon the public records OF the
country, his own great history.
