nMxAs the Union Times prates so flip
PANTY about Consistency" and denoun-
ces every body who desires change In
the Judgeship, We will just refer our read
ers to the following extract from an edito-
rial article in the Times of May %, 1851,
from which it will be seen that Judge W.
did not seem to stand quite so high as at
present in the Times estimation
..The amended Constitution imposes a
grave responsibility upon the citizens Of
the State, to meet which properly, will re-
ouire the intelligent exercise of more than
ordinary prudence and circumspection. 1t
is well known that this radical change in
the organic law was occasioned, principally,
by the unwise course of the Executive
branch of the government, in many instan-
ccs of late years, in placing incompetent
or unworthy judges on the bench and it
depends entirely upon the manner in which
the people discharge the momentous duty
thus deyolved upon them, whether the
change shall prove blessing or 4 curse.
Neither party politics nor local feuds
should be suffered to have the control IN
the election of Judges; especially if they
should tend TO the exclusion, or prejudice,
of the high and paramount objects which
should be kept constantly in view by every
voter in making up his mind, and deposit
ing his ballot sD- Nor are amiability of
nay-character, and mere personal popular
Is8-ity, the only qualifications for these
rJ~posts of honor and responsibility. 1t
ssS-is indispensable that, in addition to
Res- these, the incumbents should possess
Ha5-decison and energy of character, hab-
eD-its of industry and close study, fullness
DY"of legal learning and readiness in
py-applying it, and capacity for the
payprompt and accurate dispatch of busi-
sSs- mess; as well as integrity and a sound
sag-judgment. And if our Governors,
either through mistaken kindness, or as a
tardy reward for political services, have
erred in any of these important particulars,
it is no reason why the people should, or
will, follow their ill-adyiscd example, and
in 50 doing, prove themselves inscn.ible
to the high value of the prerogative so fully
transferred to their keeping"

State Senator.

There is Volunteer Wing out for the
Senate in this District, and also votes
printed for Democrat for the same Office.
Col Slifer will have to get up early in the
morning, to defeat them both.
n-Col. Slifer requests US to state that
he has not been able to meet his friends
IN some portions Of the District, as ne had
intended to do, in consequence of the un-
expected absence of his business partner
to New York city,und also of sickness and
death in the family. His own health has
suffered from consequent care and oyer-ex-
ertion, but he is "about," and trusts his
friends will remember him, effectively.

niata county in March last, and under
Judge Watts was tried and ended in Sep
tember. If We had conducted as much
petty litigation as Mr.. Linn, missed our
mark as often, and had as many continu-
ances: we think we could not have been
induced to open our lips about the mistakes
or " Righteousness of other people.
But we must call halt. Our remarks
about this small potato business have IN
sensibly spun out to a much greater length
than we intended. The controversy, how
ever, was not of our seeking. Dir. LINN
volunteered to become "clown of the cir
Gus" on this occasion; and as he dragged
us nolens Uolens into the "ring along with
him, we could not well do otherwise than
tickle him little with the feather end OF
the quill. Perhaps the next time he at
tempts to handle edge tools he will try to
be certain first that he understands their
use and temper.
And now, MIR. Linn, as We have each
had our "say," and the election will soon
put an end to our mutual hopes or fears,
we propose that you and ourself link

us, or some new public danger requires US
TO "suuare off" anain at arms length, for
fresh gladiatorial exploits. So mote it be.

improvements.

We have noticed number of good brick
dwellings erected in Lewisburg the present
season, and also old ones improved.
First of all, Mr.. Lyndall has finished
off the room of Mr.. S. Slifer, two doors
above Schaffie's. to suit his wares, which
can now be displayed in neat and COM
Portable style.
Right opposite, is the new brick store
room erected by j. & j. Walls,* which,
from turret to foundation stone,' is ex-
ccllently adapted to the purposes of large
commercial business.
The same may be said Of the new Store
room, finished off in the best possible
rtyle. of J. Hayes a Co, first door above
the old stone house.-We have not time
10 describe the conveniences Of these es-
tablishments, minutely, but they are worth

They are public improvements, destined,
perhaps. to nutlive their projectors.

is enlarged and vastly improved.

Special Courts,

1t has been objected that if Nsr. Casey
be elected, special courts will have to be
called to try the causes in which he has
been concerned. This is "mistake."'
Under the law as it now is, he will merely
change "pulpits" with some neighboring
Judge-Jordan or Watts, for instance
who will hold the regular tern, of our
Courts, In return for similar service per-
formed by him IN their districts. So that
no special courts wiz be needed, there will
be no lost time, and no extra expense.

H~ The following correspondence IL
will be seen vindicates Mr.. Casey from
certain imputations upon his personal and
professional integrity, which have been
industriously circulated of late on the al.
leyed authority Of Ex-Sheriff Boyer.
New Berlin, Oct. 6, 1851

persons are charging against me through
the county, that they are authorized bv
you to state, that my professional conduc.
in relation to the Sherif7s sale Of Nathan
Miteheifs property in Lewisburg, had been
unfair and dishonest. l ask you to state
whether these reports are correct. as can
not believe you would make any statement,
so at variance with the truth Of the ease
Respectfully yours, JOS. CASEY.
To Henry S. Boyer, Esq.
Selinsgrove, October the 6, 1851
Dear Sir: received yours, and am sur.
prised that any one should make such
statements as are alluded to in your letter
and still more surprised that they should
cite my name as authority for any such ac.
cusations; and / am free to state, that
they are utterly without foundation, and
that l never authorized any one to make
any such statements.
l take pleasure in adding, that you were
my counsel during my official term, before
and since, and that your conduct towards
me has always been Of the most fair and
honorable character.
Respectfully yours, II. S. BOYER.

Curself and Somebody Else.

A lying correspondent Of ncighboring
paper, who seems to think other people as
corrupt as himself, undertakes to castigate
us on account of 4 complimentary notice
of Judge Wilson as 4 candidate for the
Supreme Court, from the Lewistown Dem
ocrat, which We copied into the Chronicle
of the Sth of January last. We can tell
A citizen that all we said Of Judge VIII
son then, We say now; and have no desire
to retract Il single word. We copied the
paragraph as an item Of news, and because
we heard several persons, Democrats, ex-
press desire to get-him out of the Com
mon Pleas. We said the article paid him
"high compliment - which it certainly
did, for the greatest Judge that ever lived
could not possibly receive higher But
we did not endorse the compliment" as
49,, for wo did not believe it to be true.
we spoke or Lila. d" s..t:...LI. ....a up-
right" and that is what we have always
said. And now, since "A Citizen will
have it, we proceed to notice some of the
contents of that paragraph. The writer
rests Judge VS. qualifications ON the
ground of the ''practice he adopted when
he was placed upon the Bench Of writing
at large his opinions in small as well as
important cases"
Now, with all due Difference to every
body, we submit that this very practice
is one of the essential elements of his weak
ness and ineffcicncy; and every unpreiudi-
ced lawyer who knows him Will back up
what we say, if they have the moral cour
age to express their honest opinions. 1t
Is this ''practice . of reducing every thing
he has to say to writing, in full-whether
as matter of taste, or because he lacks
the capacity to do otherwise, we leave others
to say-that occasions such an enormous,
and perfectly useless waste of the time of
the Court. There are parts of every
charge to a jury that should be in writing,
but these are comparatively small portions,
and the great proportion of all Judge
has to say should be delivered orally, both
for the sake of convenience, and to save
time, ,and facilitate the dispatch of business.
In order to do the thing up brown and
have every thing in perfect keeping, the
lawyers ought to cap the climax by sitting
down and writing out their speeches to
the jury, before delivering them. The
locomotive of Union county Jurisprudence
would then ego it with vengeance.
