Meredith and Chambers against
the People.

A motion was made in the convention of 1888
to amend the Constituton-was to give the cleo
ton of Justices of Peace to the people. Mere
dith and Chambers, two of the whig candidates
for the Supreme Court, voted against trusting
the people with the election of their officers.
The people will vote against trusting them with
the highest judicial power over the rights of the
free citizens of this Commonwea ealth.-See End
vol. Jour. Con. 127.
Another motion to the effect was made
on p. 12S, and on page l29 we find both these
worthless voting again in opposition to trusting
the people with their own affairs. The men who
distrust the intelligence of the people are not
worthy to be trusted by the people.-Pean' an.

''We believe shall be certain of doing service
to the people of the State, if we say word or two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposely employed, because
if such a work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those of mere photography
thoepy--it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive. When one ia ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of word, he cannot endure to be
turned to abridgment that gives him a
synonym, instead of definition; but he demands
to know much anybody knows OF its history
etymoogy, and all its different shades of mean
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion.
s'In the vital department of lexicon, its defni-
tions, for which, than any and all other rea-
sons put together, we consult such work, DR..
Webster's work stands unrivalled. Their copious-
ness satisfies the wants of the inquirer, and their
nice analysis and acumen crafty his taste and re-
