A Good Joke.

There was undoubtedly some wags in the
late loco Convention. We want no better
evidence of it, than the adoption of the fol-
lowing Resolution:
Resoloed, That the Delegates appointed
BY this meeting to the District judicial Con-
yention, be instructed to vote on the first bal
lot for Hosea L. Stockwel of Tuscarawas,
for Judge of the District Court.
Hurra for Hosea! Some of his friends
say, when he heard of the passage of this
Resolution, he conceived himself to be Dis
trict Judge; and was so anxious to hear how
it would sound for the Sheriff to address him,
that he went into his eeilar-put his head in
a big hogshead, and beloved out at the top
of his voice, "Jadge Stockwell-oh, fudge
Stockwell, come into Court" 1"-Tu$culutc0
4faUocate.
Eg- Andy, the above (Which is not true,
is nothing to be compared to the time that
"Dad" was elected Associate Judge There
was great excitement among the "Pauick
family" at that time--all were anxious to
be Judges. Andy's continual bother in
asking, '"dad, are we not all Judges" caus-
ed him to get his ears boxed on several occa-
sions. After finding out that he could not
be Judge too, he asked very kindly-"weA
dad, if can't be Judge, main't be Cfrk.''

Why was it?

Why is it that the whig State Convention
ommitted all reference to the new constitu-
ton. The first election under the new con-
is approaching, their candidates are
before the people, yet aperfect silence is
maintained by them in reference to the pro-
visions of this instrument We did not ex-
peet them to approve the constitution, after
their late violent opposition to its adoption,
but some expression Of opinion was expected.
Why did they not propose such amendments
to the new constitution as would tend to OBJ
viate the objections which they so clamorous-
ly urged against it. They have pronounced
its provisions in reference to corporations as
destructive of public improvements; why had
they no proposition to amend? Other obiec
tions urged by the wings during the canvass
might be mentioned, but we will defer the
subject for the future. Against our next is
sue we expect to be able to lay before our
readers the action of the Democratic State
Convention, when we shall go into the can.

a good show for the cause of popular rights

We think we can answer the Enquirer's
question. The wings felt the unpopularity
Of their action in opposition to the New Con-
sttution. They were actuated by no honest
conviction--they manifested no devotion to
Iprinciple-they were governed by sheer con-
siderations of expediency They hate the
reforms Of the New Constitution as the devil
hates holy water. But they had tried that
instrument by the ordeal of fire, and it came
out unscathed, with the sanction of hundreds
of thousands OF intelligent freemen.
Judge by this token of the nature of the
canvass, so far as it can derive it's character
istics from whiggery Look all through the
proceedings of the Wing State Convention,
