Resolutions
RcSolped, That we concur fully in the NOM
inalion of Hon. n. b. ELDRED as President
Judge of this Judicial District, believing that
he is capable, worthy and possessed of that
independence which should always character
izo the Bench, and We cordially recommend
him as the candidate Of the people Of the Dis
Irict.
The following, in relation to the nomina-
ton ofJujgc Eldred, we take from the Homes
dale Democrat, of the 10th inst.
"At the head Of the ticket stands the name
of Hon. NATHANIEL B. ELDRED, as candidate
for President Judge of this Judicial District
The position for which he is nominated is one
Of vast Importance and responsibility. He
has long held the office of President Judge,
and has always performed the duties of that
station to the acceptance of the public. In
private life he is not only just, but liberal,
and delights to favor those who cannot repay
him in kind. AS politician, he is common
iy classed among locofocos, though he is
known to have been a warm admirer of Gen.
Taylor, and TO entertain a decided personal
preference for Gov. Johnston over Mr. Bigler
We believe that not a single vote will be cast
against him in the district"

The Canal Commissioners appear anxious
to acquire an infamous notoriety: On the
North Branch Canal they give the good funds
of the State to Gordon T. Mason and John
Laporte-two as bitter Locolocos as any one
need desire to see-and these men in return
furnish from their shaving shop ragged, de-
preciated small notes of other States The
Canal officers contrary 10 Ia'o, compel the Ia
borers to take this filthy currency or so with
out pay! This is the way Locoloco Canal
officers treat poor men on the North Branch
They are treating them even worse on the
Delaware Division. They haze paid them
for 5ut one months aeork for more ,han q

Nhig of the 3D. inst:
ave hear complaints from every quarter
against the Canal Commissioners, for their
conduct on the Delaware Division of the
Pennsylvania canal Whilst other sections
of the State are receiving their pay and the
Commissioners are prosecuting extensive ex-
periments on the Portage, and elsewhere, the
Delaware Division, the most profitable sec
ton in the State, is robbed and dcfrauded of
the very money which she pours into the pub
lie treasury.

that the people along the Delaware Division

monwealth that her laborers are deprived of
their honest earnings, If an individual
should pretend to carry on Improvements and
keep his laborers out of their money for

state be allowed so to DISGRACE her! We
say again, let this be looked to. Let cur Ia
borers have their rights; they ask no favor

to them in order that they may discharge
the claims upon them. We shall refer to
this subject again unless the evil is rene

The object Of the Canal Commissioners is /
manifest. They desire to build up new
floating debt unauthorized By the Legisia-
ture and in the meantime allow their servants I
to use the money appropriated for repairs to
fill their pockets or electioneer for William /
Bigler. We have had enough Of this yllany. I
It shall not be practiced any longer with our +

Important Decision.

The A@bcos corpus granted in the case
OF the fugitive slave, Daniel, at Buffalo,
has raised an important question, which,
it is supposed, will be taken before the
Supreme Court. Judge Conkling so con
structed the 10th section of the Fugitive
Slave Act, as to apply only to persons es-
Gaping from service qftcr its passage. Ii
this view of the Act is sustained, it will
prove fatal to the claims of all who seek to
recover slaves who escaped from service
prior to the passage of the law. At any
rate, the decision has done Daniel good
service
