We take the following from the last num-
Der of the keokak Dispatch. We can cordially
commend the spirit In which the views of the
Dispatch are expressed as to the propriety of Sc
lectin. person for the Office OF Judge, of the
requisite qualifications, in every respect. In
some of the States it has been deemed of impor-
lance TO make party nominations, but in others.
we are glad TO say, the people of both parties
have united in choosing TO the office competent
and trustworthy men without regard TO political
principles. The latter course is one in every re-
specs so proper, and so congenial TO the spirit of
our free institutions, that we should be glad to
see il adopted wherever and in whatever manner
Judges are to be chosen.
The DisrRcr JUpGE.--So far as we can
learn, there is little disposition to make the Dis
trict Jnd5eship, party issue. 1t is probable,
we understand, that no convention will be held
to select any special Democratic candidate. The
great object 20 be attained is, undoubtedly the e.
lection OF competent person, OF adequate legal
learning, AMI approved integrity. The Judiciary
IS too high an offce--too Intimately connected
with the rights and interests Of men to be meas
ured by mere partizan zeal. 1t is removed from
political Importance. and does not necessarily
provoke any party contest. In the present con-
dition OF affairs, the need Of an upright AMI capa-
be District Judge is apparent 10 all. If nom-
nations are made by The two political parties, we
trust that no one viii be selected b. either, who
is not fully competent, Of a. least that the most
capable will be elected

BURLINGTON HAWK-EYE.
MississiDpi,

This State has made as snort work Of Secess-
ion as South Crrolina. The State Convention
lately assembled at Jackson. and which was call
ed for the avowed purpose of providing for the
Secession of Mississippi from the Union, has
passed the Union resolutions reported by COM
mittee of thirteen. These resolutions declare that
the people of Mississippi abide by the series of
measures passed by the last Congress, usually
called the Compromise, and explicitly declare the
opinion of the Convention that the people OF
Mississippi viii abide by the Union as it is and
by the Constitution OF the United States without
amendment The equally strong declaration a
sainst the pretended right Of Secession on the
part Of State or States, as subversion Of the
Union, and amounting in its effects aud conse-
Grences to civil revolution was adopted b. a
vote of 70 yeas 20 II nays.
In Mississippi it win be recoiieeted the Nash
vile Convention originated, the projectors Of
which aimed at the overthrow Of the Uaion;-
and whose purposes M ht have been accomplish
ed, ii the peone Of the Southern States had not,

their intention 10 adhere to II.

Improvement in Telegrapairg.

Mr. Buckley, the Superintendent OF Telegraph
line at New York. has invented a "Conaector,'
BY means Of which, placed at each station on the
lice, the operators are enabled TO ''turn the cur
rent Of electricity from their Offices, and connect
the most extreme points,
The "Connectors' have the effect to rene,c the
magnetic force wherever applied, by which means
the great difficulty of writing in long circuit is
wholly overcome. The Telegraph line from New
York 10 New Orleans has been Supplied with
these "connectors," and their practical utility
tested BY enabling the operators in New York to
holu direct and instantaneous chit-that with
their fellow operators in New Orleans. distance
by the wires of 300 miles. Business messages
were also sent with the same rap,I;ty.
If these s'connectors.' will only be the means
of ensuring speedy and certain communication at
all times, by telegraph, to and from our Hurlins-
ton Office, we should be glad to see the improve
ment tested and brought into use among us-pro-
ridei the purchase of it would not take off too
large share OF the profits.
The Office at this place could hardly be Of less
than it is, in enabling the press to furnish the
public in reasonable time, safe and reliable intel
ligence Of passing events.

Malignan: attempts to destroy the St Loais Intel
ligeueer Office

A few days after the propsietors Of the ST
Lonis lntellgencer removed into their new and
commodious building, some person eEdeavored to
set it on fire, By placing bundle of old newspa-
pcIs in the basement and setting FIRE TO them
This occurred about four O'Clock in the morning.
when one of the Carriers Of the Intelicencer
happened TO come in for his morning papers and
fortunately extinguished the FIRE. A few DAYS
afterwards on starting their power press, they
discovereG several large nails ana scraps Of iron
placed in it, in such manner that they would
have destroyed the press, if il had been set in
motion without removing them. Very soon after
this. the engineer found short bar of iron thrus.
into the steam engine in such way that if the
steam had been let on. il would have shiyered the
engine to pieces. A few nights after, the screw,
OF the press were all loosened, to such degree
that The press was barely held together, and if it
had been started, would have been broken to pie
ces.
A subsequent effort was more successful, and
the throttle valves and other portions Of the en-
CINE were seriously injured by wrenching them
from their places, so that the engine was tempo
rari'y disabled.
The proprietors say they are utterly unable to
account for these repeated and malignat attempts
to destroy their property. Areward of fifty dol
lars is offered for such information as will lead to
the detection and conviction IT the offender

The Presidency.

The New York Express has the fol!owiu. re.
marks on the subject Of President making:
The work OF making Presidents has started
with fosty-horse power in all sections of the
county. Every State. and almost every district
las its candidate. Congress is now in session. and
what we hear thus far is only The foreshadow.ng
of the future. In good time delegates will have
TO be chosen 10 National Convention. Be they
true friends of Mr. Webster, Mr. Fillmore, or Mr.
Clay, we know they will be equally true friends
OF the Union, the Constitution, aud the Peace
Measures OF the country; and whether for one Of
these three, or any other man, we trust no other
kind of delegates will be elected, and no thought
bestowed upon any Other candidate than one in
whose integrity the Wings of the country have
the most entire confidence.
The Democratic party are playing, just now. a
deep game, and one which ought not 10 pass un-
noticed. In this State it is notorious that the
Freesoiers and Hunkers coalesced, aud it is e.
9uallv true that they owe their victory. If victc.
ey it is, to that coalition. The same is true in
Massachusetts, in Ohio, and elsewhere, and SOU
thern Democrats are becoming blinded TO the
facts, or blinded to p inciple, in overlooking the
existence of these coalitions. Let others do as
they may, we trust the Wings of the country will
enter the Presidential contest as National Par
~, and upon National grounds.

South Carolina.

The Co. Operation Convention met at Column
bia on the ooh nit. a committee appointed at a
previous meeting submitted report on the pre-
sent aspect of affairs in the State. The resolu-
tons declare that they regard the State having
decided that while the right of Secession is fun
danental and irdispu.ab!e right, the exercise Of
1t BY single State, without the well grounded
assurance of concurrence and support from other
States, is not the appropriate remedy for existing
grievances, nor sufficient safeguard against
those which menace in future .
They further declare that any attempt 10 ac-
complsh Secession would be in con'ravention of
clear declaration Of the public viii; land that
they regard the State as having decided hat
concert of action among the slave-holding States,
or sufficient number of them to make their ac-
tion efectual, is essential 10 the remed; Of exist

Gy The Democratic Caucus at Washington

tons Of Mr. Polk, (brother of the late President,
