Grand Division Judicial convention.

Neare surprised, not TO say astonShed,
at an article in the last Joliet Ssual raj
sing objections 10 the holding Of the grand
division judicial convention at Oregon OH
the 18th inst; accusing the 9th circuit OF a
wish 10 dictate in the matter; urging that
the convention shall be held after the Au-
guStelcclion and stating tina. such is not only
the wish Of the editor Of the Signal and the
people inthatrcgion, but also Of Mr.. Bradley,
If the Chicago Democrat.
Vow al we have 10 say is, that this j. a
notable time to come with these objections.
This convention at Oregon was first Sug-
geStcd over six weeks ago. the suggestion
was approved FIVE weeks ago by the judi
cial convention at this place, by resolutions
that were at the time published in the Chi
60 Democrat; and has been acted apon not
only by all the counties in this circuit, but
by a large number, il not nearly all, the
counties Of the other circuits included in
this grand division. And now at the clcv-
enth hour, on the very eve o! the conven-
ton for the first tine, come objections TO it.
Why were these objections not raised sooner
There was plenty Of time, aid plenty Of In
vitatons were given to all to express them
selves upon the subject freely. And as tito
! sggravato the matter, and determined TO
make difficulty, these objections are put in

our state nominations are made six month,
before the election; our congressional nom

ciple, our grand division nomination shoul,

Yc, the OH circuit only suggested the hold

cause no objections were raised, aud tn
division generally appeared to acccdc TO th
suggestion, have gone on with many oihc
counties, TO elect their delegates. And 70

The pnmocralic Convention.

We give to-day the proceedings OF two
more democratic conventions, that were
held at this place on the 9Th inst, and these
nominations, we believe complete Our tick
ct for the August election.
WM. RrDDrcK, our present able Senator,
it will be seen, was unanimously nominated
for re election. This is high compliment,
and will appear especially so, when j; is
rccOllccted that five counties have been adj.
dcd to this senatorial district since the last
election, all of which, it was preSumable,
would have some mau OF their own that
they would prefer. But the compliment
was deserved. Mr.. X. has made an able
aud most efficient Senator. No man in the
district is better acquainted with the wants
Of the people, or would more ably and
promptly attend to them. Mr.. X. is no
wordy mamie seldom makes a speech
but for regular hard work doing a great
deal in a short time, and without noise OF
fuss, he has few equals. lit the way OF
frmness, and indomitablc energy aud per
severenCc of character, he IS q real General

deriake a thing that he failed to carry
through. lie generally CLOCKS before he
leaps" but when he puts his foot down, as
Mr.. poitlethwaitc says, he is emphaticaIly

Mr.. gibson, and Mr., LA;HrH. the ,.cUi.

good men, and good democrats, and they
are from parts of the district that had iusi
claims upon the convention They are

j. harmOnizo, and whose election is thus
beyond contingency. In fact, we doubt
whether, either for senator or representa-
tive, the wings will bring out opposing can
dida,es, so that our nominees have the dull
prospect Of walking over the course with
out even race.

Having so satisfactorily "sctllcd the law y

are now calledupon, from anotherquartei, 10

name Of all that's honest, that we are no
lawyer and never mean 10 DC one, we vii,
however, ondeavor Ia answer the question
rs fully as our time, and the means at our
command willpelnt.
The several circuit counts in this State,
IN the exercise of their jurisdiction rs
courts Of cqui!y,lmay appoint guardians for
Infants, and remove them at pleasure. Bat
whether a guardian can be required to ac-
count IN these courts, unless called upon by
his ward. seems 10 he doubtful.
by the statutes Of this state, courts Of pro-
bate arc'aUthOgizcd to appoint guardians ior
minors, and they ''havc power in their res
pcctive counties, with or without previous
complaint, by an order daily made and Scrv-
ed, to ollige all guardians Of minors, from
time tc time, TO rende-thcir respective ac-
counts upon oath, touching their guardian,
ship, 10 said courts for adjustment, and shall
have power TO compel such guardians to
give supplementary security whenever it
shall judge proper, and i'll default thereof,
TO remove such guardians. RI. :. p. -G6.
The guardian has the "power under the
direction Of the court of probate, to super
intend the education and nurture of the
ward, and for that purpose may pay ont
such portions of the wards money rs the
count of probate shall, from time TO time, hv
order direct"
The guardian is considered in the place
Of 4 parent, and is bound to educate his
ward SO far as the estate of the ward will
justify, and TO attend TO the cultivation Of
bis morals, 10 take care Of, and be as prov
ident Of lis estate as prudent man would
be of his own.
The improvidcut expenditure and reck-
less waste Of the estate Of minors by their
guardians, has often been the subject ofsc-
we're animadvorsion 10y our courts. Ouac-
count of the inirmity of their age aud their
helpless condition, our legislature has made
it "the duty Of all civil county officers 10
give information to the court Of probate Of
neglect or omission Of any guardian to his or
her ward" Bat this requirement does not
seem to meet the benevolent intention Of
the legislature.
Ii is said there was law under which a
guardian was TO exhibit; true and faithful
inventory Of all the goods, and personal cs-
tate which came into his hands, and render
an exact and true account of his office
whenever it was required by the Judge, and
that this law is not now observed, to the
great dctriment Of many minors. It's ap-
pretended that by our statutes the old law
has been revived, and that it is now the
duty four probate courts strictly to watch
over aud guard the rights and interests of
minors, and see that guardians appointed
by them properly perform their duty.

Does General Taylor Iccept?-The ut.
most CONSERVATION prevailed among the
wings a few days ago in consequence Of
statement in the New Orleans papers that
Gen, Taylor would not accept the nomua-
ton Of the Philadelphia convention, if he
was to be considered the wing candidate,
supporting wing principles. Later arrivals,
however, from the south, bring card from
committee that waited on Gen. Tayloy to
inform him of his nomination, in which card
it is stated that he does accept the nomlna-
ton, endorsing the pledges made in his be-
half by the Louisiana delegation. II this
be true, how can Gen. Taylor or his friends
reconcile it with his acceptance of the nom
natlon of the native Americans? Does he
endorse their principles too?
