j observe in the last
Tribune an editorial on the subject orthc
appointment Of Mr. Greene, formerly one
OF the editors Of the Express, to the Su-
prcmc Bench Of the State Ile Of tho
Tribune is maize TO say that he has been
taken to task by "gentlemcn Of unim-
peachab'e democracy" for not speaking
o! that appointment as 1t deserves. Now
suppose that when his Excclency made
the appointment in question, he little
thought OF and cared less about the wish
cs OF lew envious and lu1e-warm demo-
Gratis about Dubuque, whose onlv ohicc.
ton to Mr.. Greene, is, tina, his name and
generous heart and his upright, candid
and man y conduct in his intercourse with
his fellow men, has won for him mora
friends than those same ''unimpcachabIo
democrats" can boast Of. When The Gov
ernor appointed Mr.. Greene, he was fu]lv
satisfied that he was carrying out the
wishes Of a great majority of the north
crn democracy as expressed through their
Representatives at the last session of the
I Lcglslature-and can tell the Tribune
and these Same ''Nnimpeach05ze democrats"
that the Governor is not the nan to be-
swerved from his sense of duty at tho
dic'ation ola few would-be grcat men q
bout Dubuque. As to Judge Grccne's
qualifications for the Office to which he
has been appointed, time will show ,ha,
his numerous friends have not ovcrroted
them, and that his enemies will make no.
thing by their ungencrous and viru|en,
opposition to him. FIAT Jusr1r1..
