A Kong judicial Tenure.

We believe that all the candidates for the
convention in this Disrict-the anti-reformers
as we'll as the relorlners-tayor the election OF
the Judges by the people, Indeed, the principle
is so popular and so obviously just and proper In
itself, hat but few are bold enough 10 contIo-
vert or oppose it. But the difference between
the respective classes of candidates upon this
point is, that the Retormers desire the election
OF Judges to be given to the people at short and
stated intervals OF or years, while the anti
reiorners are for electng them for life, or for a
long term Of gears! Tins is an important and
marked distinction, to which we desire especial
ly to direct the attention OF the people. The
principle advocated by the relormers Is to pro-
duce a due responsibility on the part Of the Jul
dietary. This can only be done by making that
body elective by and amenable at short periods
TO the people ; any system that has d t-ifieteni
tendency is just as odous and as much to be
reprobated as the existing system OF lie tenure
Such, we maintain is the ''long term" principle
advocated by anti-retormers. II is "Wolf III
sleeps clothing" What will the people have
gained if we elect Judges for fifteen or twenty
years? Nolhing; literally, nothing; for to elect
Judge for either of these terms OF years IS VIZ
tualIy to elect them for life. We doubt whether
there is now a circuit Judge in Virginia who
| has been twenty years upon the bench-and bu
few if any who have been there fifteen years. /
| is doubtless rare instance that Judge sits to-
so long period Of time. Those who advocate
therefore, the election Of Judges for "long pc
riods'' are virtually if not i'll fact, the advocates
of life tenure /! 1t is a trap TO deceive ane
catch the unvary, and we warn the people how
they suffer themselves to be deceived and delud
ed by such hollow professions and specious argu
ments. Six or seven years are long enough TO
which to elect our judges, aud to 60 beyout
that is to endanger the vital principle OF the res
possibility Of the judiciary! and virtually TO re
enact the present odlous and oppressive 1T
Tenure principle mhch now disgraces our OF
ganic law. Elect a Judge for 10 or 20 years
and he would feel as he certainly would be

NATIONAL MEDICAL CONVENTION AT CINcIN'
NATI-This body adjourned on the 10th inst after
session of four days. Il will meet again in
Charleston, S. c., in May next. The proceedings
appear to have been characterized by general de-
sire to elevate the character Of the profession and
extend its usefulness We select the following from
the report Of the proceedings in the Cincinnati
Times:
An interesting report was read upon the adultera-
ton of medicines, and plan proposed IN a set of
resolutions to detect mpositlons, by requiring med
zeal societies, where organized, TO examine cneml-
cally, by a committee, specimens OF drugs offered
for sale in their vicinity, and calling upon dealers
throughout the United States to take active mea-
sures to put down aduteraton, and, when practical,
to organize pharmaceutical societies Tor That pur-
pose. A committee Of one from each State was APP

the medical profession in America. Although be-
tween eighty and ninety years OF age, he still re-
On motion. DR.. Caldwell agreed to furnish the
next Convention a paper on Animal Magnetism,
Phrenology and Organic Chemistry.
DR.. Bennett Dowler, of our own city. received the
well merited compliment of being elected on the
first ballot over numerous competitors, Chairman of
the Committee on Medical Science. This is an ar.
dueus and responsible post, as it imposes upon him
the duty of reporting the progress and condition of
the Medical Sciences for the present year. DR..
Bowler, we believe, was the only delegate from
Louisiana; and to his public spirit, evnced by ex-
pending money and losing valuable time, are we IL
debted for the honorable position assigned our State
in the proceedings of the Convention. The North

practitioners of the day.

report of grand supper given to the delegates from

The passage of the Compromise bill, reported by
the Committee of Thirteen, will meet with serious
obstacles 10 the Senate, [speculations as 10 what
disposition will be made of it in the House may be
reserved until it gets there.l The NewYork Cou-
rier & Enquirer says fWe consider the compro.
mise scheme as doomed. 1t meets with the views
ofneither section (the North nor the SOUTH and
both in our judgement, will reject it," Others Of
the Eastern papers say that, because it does not
give satisfaction TO the utraisis, in the Senate,
from either extreme of the Union, it will certainly
have the support Of the body of the conservative
portion of the members that it was not expected
to be satisfactory to all that it intended TO be,
what Its title imports, a compromise measure.
We have heretofore believed that Senators from
the South, with scarcely an exception, would sup
port any measure that would restore harmony to
| the country without the imposition of the Wilmot
Proviso. We have steadfastly believed that the
question Of the admission of Calfornia-she having
complied with all the constitutional requirements
should have been taken up, and acted on, upon its
own merits but, seeing the strenuous opposition to
this course by certain class Of Southern Senators
their opposition, as they have caused the country
to believe, being based upon the ground that the
admission of California would leave the slavery
question, as to the Territories, still unsettled and
open Tor future agtation-we nave telt the deepest
anxiety that any plan me Committee OF Thirteen
should recommend would be readily adopted; and
