A CASE IN POINT.

The whig papers have found and are now
engaged in publishing the documents, prov
ing the fact conclusively that Judge LEWIS,
when boy actually ran away from his
master in Harrisburg, and began the world
upon his own "hook'. We admit this jn-
venile delinquency on the part of the demo-
cratic candidate, and plead Justification -
The relation of master and apprentice, in
this country subsiss for "A specified Object
and the latter as well as The former has
rights, feelings and inte rests at stake. Mas.
ters who act the petty tyrant, are presuming
decidedly too much upon the republican
spirit of their boys, and that same American
spunk, which made Jackson refuse 10 black
the boots of the British officer, often prompt
TO rebellion aud separation, over,asked ap-
prenlices. 1t would not allow Judge Lewis,
when boy, TO remain a meniM and Slaoe,
nor will it any others similarly circumstan-
ced For the alternative he adopted, he had
an illustrious eXample--a case in point, as
the lawyer would say. We know that the
great philosopher and statesman BEN
FRANKLIN, left his own brother, for reasons
not more cogcnt and The world thought not
the less of him for it. Why should it now
reproach Judge Lewis 2 Simply because he
is one of the democratic candidates for the
supreme bench a! Oh barren whiggery,

The democratic Convention of Column

nation John S. Folmer, for Assembly,
Leonard B. Rupart, and Stephen Baldy, for
Associate Judges. Samuel Greasy, for
Treasurer, Jacob Eyerly, for Prothonotary,
and Jesse S. Clark, for Register and Recor-

passed. These resolutions meet with favor
from the entire true democracy of Penn
sylvania. Gen. Cass took ''bold and pa
triotic" stand in favor of those measures
MIR. Buchanan, on the other hand, though
appealed to at that trying hour, was, as
usual, perfectly non commttal, lest he
might displease the disunionists Of the
South, and injure himself.

JUDGE CAMPBELL.

We always regret the occasion that re-
quires us 10 refer 10 this gentleman. But
as some of his indi Greet friends will insist
that all opposition is owing to the fact that
Judge Campbell is Roman Catholic, we
are compelled to deny the charge. This
cry of 'stop thief" to avoid the true issue,
cannot save him. The fact that Judge
Campbell is Catholic, and was educated
and reared by Catholic priest, never had
any influence upon us, but his friends will
find that they will make nothing by al
tempting 10 get up the cry of persecution,
10 order to cover up his real deficiencies,
We do not know of single Journal in the
State, opposed TO Judge Campbell on any
other grounds, than his utter incompetency
and the manner by which he secured his
nomination. We are not 10 be frightened
from sense of duty in opposing an incom,
petent man, by telling us that he is Cath.
olic, or that that religion should screen q
man, more than il he were Lutheran
Methodist or Presbyterian.
