The Code of Practice.

We copy the following Just remarks in relation 20 the
Code Of Practice reported by the Law Commissioners,
and the Commissioners themselves, from the Covng-
Peoples Friend The Editor, SoLoN TURMAN, Esq
| is a member Of the Senate and speaks advisedly:
The Bills reported by the Commissioners Of Law
Reform towit The code Of pleadings and practice in
civil actions the code of peadngs and practice in Grim
inal actions and the establishing courts Of conca
tion have passed the Senate with few amendments,
and now pening in the House.
" The manner in which the Commissioners have dis
charged their arduou duties entities them the highest
praise The testimony of all is that they
devoyed upon them The with which their elec-
tiol greeted rehuked; the representations oi
failure proved have been idle fears and the charge
Of ncapacity is demonstrated have been utterly false
and without foundation"
Ii is probably a sufficient compliment 10, and endorse
Of the Code presented by the Commissioners to the
Legislature that the Senate, containing Of the
first legal talent in the State after scrutnzng it
/ fully, and examining the whole system thoroughly
passed it without really material amendment.
We can speak confidently of the which the
time has been put in by the Commissioners When il
considered that the matter reported by them to the
Legislature comprises thousand and six sections
that the constitution required material alteration in the
system; that, Notwithstanding the apparently great
number Of pages which il will occupy in the Statute
book, will not be half what the matter has
heretofore occupied; and when it is considered, also
that all this has been done within five months certainly
no complaint will be made that time has been unneces
sarly spent We believe that nearly every Lawyer
who has examined the new code-and they numer
ous and many Of them emnent-who friendly to the
reforms it contains has given il his endorsement-Ru

General Pierce ON the Slavery Question.

General Pierce on the Slavery Question.
The following from letter addressed by Gen.
Pierce distinguished Democratic Senator, dated May
g. 1850. in regard to the Compromise then pending in
Congress- will show that he an early friend of the
adjustment measures:
"I have been constantly occupied Ia court that no
leisure moment has presented itself for the acknowledge
of your noble speech upon Mr. Bels proposition
Tor compromise Of the question which has deeply
agtated Congress and the country during the last few
months. | appreciate your kind remembrance OF me
personally. As New Hampshire man, / hear your
name pronounced only with pride; American citi-
zeni acknowledge, with gratitude, the eminent public
services that have signalzed your along the
whole line of your useful life

and honorable compromise not stronger and more per-
vading at Washington. l have apprehension that
the disruption oil this Union is hand but foresee
consequences appalling in this daily of the terms

the North and South but component parts oil our
common country-parts which should be regarded ab-
soutely inseparable united merely by reciprocal
rights and obligations arising under the Constitution but
bound together by ties of affection common interest
and reciprocal respect; recognizing all times, and
above ALL that noble band Of brotherhood which concen
trated the genius, and courage and patriotism that
achieved independence that has sustained the coun-
try In all its uials-hat bond which the republic is
indebted for rapid and wonderful than any
that has hitherto marked the march of civilization and

You have doubtless observed that great effort is be
ing made 10 give currency to the impression that the
opinions aud sentiments advanced by yourself find moth

believe the fact be in this State Our people

they look for compromise-expect compromise

Great efforts are being made by Wings in combination
with few striped Democrats to defeat the election OF
Judge Perkins, of our best nominated for the
Supreme Bench Best say, because he has exhibit.
ed for the few years he has held the Office OF supreme
ludge industry, aithfuness and legal knowledge,
lully equal to any emergency. And no man deserves
more credit for his attanments in legal knowledge than
Judge Perkins. For he is self made man. In the
acquisition OF knowledge he burnt his own midnight oil
and paid his tuition fees through his untirng
efforts he acquired liberal education and his well de.
served merits secured the attention and appreciation of
the appointing power And on such men can the public
rely for justice, and wise decisions for they have the
preservation to thoroughly investigate.
Then it will be that Judge Perkins relies solely
upon the people the discriminating power judge of
merit and qualification. He has State Universities
those manufactures of arisocrats, to back him by their
influence; he mas not CREASED his sides with the fat Of a
State lnsution 1t IS true, like his competitor he can
not claim the privilege OF belonging othe ruie shirt

make good practical Judge college Professor!
The main actor in the drama, is Mr.. Hughes, who
dates his pronouncamentos from the vicinity of "Col.
ege Depot !" and claims cousinshp to the Democracy.
He may be gentlemen, clever fellow in many re-
spects,-yet in his particular opposition to Judge Per-
kns, think he has ventured the wrong track He
did not follow the advice of Davy Crockett, ''be sure
you right, then go ahead" And would not nti-
mate that he has any desire to follow in the footsteps Of
an usrious predecessor" to gain seat upon the cir.
cult bench, hnted But his preference, most proba
oily grows out OF association, than interest. He
cannot entertain any particular pque against the Judge
or Democratic nominations!
'Do thyself HARM" Judge Perkins Is oil the peo.
pe and will be sustained by the people, and by the Peo.
pie will be triumphantly elected Mark it.
To say there is difference in parties this ques
tion, is mistake The Democrats go in for strict
construction Of the Constitution and the laws; the
Wings for a latitudinarian construction.

True Democratic II bnses.

We copy with high qualification from the Baltimore
Sun (extra) the following passage from the report of
the proceedings Of the convention subsequent the
nomination of General PIERCE and pending the ballet for
the Vice Presidency:
During pause in the taking OF the ballot, the fol-
lowing dispatches were read to the convention:
From STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS: "I congratulate
the Democratic party upon the nomination. and Illinois
will give FRANKLIN PIERCE larger majority than
any other State in the Union"
From General CASS: ga good nomination, that Of
General PIERCE. shall support it heartily"
From General HOUSTON: 'An excellent nomination ;
il will unite the whole democracy"
From Democrats Of Washington: "Nine cheers for
Franklin Pierce"
We doubt that could the other candidates and
other Democratic associations have been heard from
time they would all Of them have similar messages
OF eongratslaton and confidence. ss4eft
