The SUPRE ME BENcH.-The State Journal notices
the fact that the Governor has appointed Thomas L.
Smith, ESQ.,, of New Albany, to fill the vacancy on
the Supreme BENCH until the next session of the Leg
islaure, and in abiding to the recent rejection OF
Mr.. Smith BY the Senate, says, he evil meet with
no better fate next winter; that there cannot be
found Senate willing TO advise and consent to the
elevation of one so VIGOROUSLY incompetent, to po-
sition of so much Importance" &c.
The prediction of the Journal is worth no more
than its assertion of Mr.. Smiths ncompetency. We
will venture to predict that when the year rolls round,
the Journal itself will be compelled to eat its own
words, and not only to witness the confirmation of
Mr. Smith by the Senate, but to acknowledge The
gross injustice of its present groundess assault and to
bear witness TO the high qualifications ofthe incumbent
in every respect Mr. Smiths rorks will speak for him,
and despite of all the prejudice which the Journal can
raise, will sustain him. Let these predictions be re-
membered by the people, either TO the dscredit of the
Journal or ourselves.
The Journal further asserts that the Governor as
sured the people, in his eleconeerng speeches last
summer, that he had appointed Judges Perkins and
Dewey as compromise between the parties, and
that their names would be submitted to the Legsla-
lure for confirmation" If this assertion is no better
grounded than that in relation TO the "notorlous IN
competency" of Mr.. Smith, it is worth just nothing
at ALL We do not believe that any such pledge was
made but if any such purpose had been intimated,
the proscrptive course pursued by The wing majority
during the late session, in which every important
measure of Legislation made to depend upon the
election of wing aspirants 10 erery Office that was
filed would have amply justified the Governor in
changing the purpose which the Journal alleges he
entertained,
