JUDICIAL ELECTION.

The approaching Judicial Election is The
most important that has ever occurred in this
State,
The Wing delegates to the Syracuse Con-
vention offered TO the LJco- Foco Convention
which met at the same time to select two
candidates from each of The great political
parties, and 20 make up a ticket tor the ensu.
ing election. This proposition. so fair. so
just and liberal, was refused. The Loco Fo-
co partyhave thrown down the political gaunt-
let and declared that they would have an en-
tire ticket of political Judges or none. Let
them try that question a, the polls. We the
Wings have beat them ~triumphantly at the
last two Elections in the State and CITY; be.
side. we have the advantage of new set of
candidates at the coming Election, who have
not been corrupted with the old fee system,
and political jug 2lery of Loco-Focoism as,
has been carried on the last ten years. We
want a new bench Of Judges. Only look at
our Judiciary under the old machinery. We
find that we have 275 Judges in the State,
now holding office, aud not a man of the num-
Der but what is sworn to Loco-Focoism clo-
ser than a brother. We hope every Wing
will come out at the coming Election, and we
will soon rid ourselves Of the Judicial incubus
that hangs over US. WIN. PENN.

A convention of the friends of public improve
ments is called, to be held at Chicago on the 9Th
of July. 1t is to be a meeting of all political par
ties to combine and concentrate Western mi!u-
ence upon the important object of improving nv
ers. and particularly for making Western har6ors
on Lake Huron and Michigan--a duty that has,
baen strangely neglected by government. The
great increase of shipping and trade makes it i'm
~55eratiye on the government to make these har-
bors. The loss of vessels and lives on Lake
Michigan has been very great for the years past.
We believe there are not more than three or four
safe harbors on the whole line of Lake coast OF
more than 500 miles. From Green Bay, around
the coast to Grand River in upper Michigan there
;s not a harbor into which a vessel can run in a
etorm--a distance of probably 500 miles. The
consequence is, a great number of vessels are
yearly stranded, and life is only comparatively
safe from the fact that the shore is generally shall
ow and sandy.

LAWFUL REvENGE.-Manv years since a
gentleman in N%ewingtOn, a parish of Wealth

Conscientious man, married one of the most

find in the vicinity. This occasioned u%niver-

world. he was fearful of becoming too much
attached TO things oftime and sense, and rho't
by experiencing some aifliction, he should be-
come more weaned from the world, and he
married such a woman as he thought would
accomplish his object. The best part of the
story is that the wife, hearing the reasons
why he married her, was much offended, and
out OF revenge became one of the most pleas

she was NOT going TO be a paCk-horse to carry
