AN ELECTIVE JUDICIARY.

One Of our exchanges taking for it's text the
rejection by the people of Mississippi of Mr..
Yerger, candidate for "a seat in the Supreme
Court of that State, dcnounces the policy of
an elective judiciary Mr.. ierger, it remarks,
was repudiated by the people because he de-
nounced reputation he was upright and able,
and, therefore lost the election.
This is not true He did not lose his election
because he was upright and able, but because
he held opinions on an important question,
adverse to those of the majority of the Pee
pie: and why should we have judges rep
resenting minority of the People, or them
selves alone, any more than Presidents, Gov
ernors, and Legislatures representing MINOR.
ties, or themselves alone A fundamental
condition of Democracy is that the majority,
within the limits of the Constitution, must
govern We may deplore certain opinions Of
a majority as against right and pregnant with
mischief but what is the remedy! A dcta-
tor an oligarchy, IN aristocracy! Shall we,
in Democratic republic, set up a privileged |
body, irresponsible and absolute, whose pre-
rogatvc it shall be to override the ma ority |
Democracy is the government of the People |
by the People If we accept this creed, We
must be true to it. 1t should pervade the en-
tire framework and spirit Of the Government
Legislative Executive, and Administrative De-
partmcnts should all derive their respective
powers from the People, and be directly ac-
to the People,
A Judiciary by Executive appointment, OF
Legislative ballot, is an incongruty under "a
Democracy, which demands an elective Judi
ciary, ~ much as an elective Legislature. That
some evil and Inconvenience flow from DemOc-
racy, is Just rs true, as that Human Nature
is imperfect, and masses of men, like individ
uals, are always liable to error; but the true
way of correcting these evils, is, not by at
tempting to cngraft upon Democratic lnstitu-
lions, elements essentially foreign to them but
by laboring to inform the intellect and elevate
the sentiments of the People-tho only real
source Of Power under such Institutions.
The People ot NllSSlssippi nave hoI uisSraceu
themselves by refusing to elect Mr. Yergor,
Judge, a. our exchange says-but they have
disgraced themselves by refusing to redeem
debts, which, whether incurred according to
the strict letter Of their Constitution or not
wero incurred by their authorized agents,
whose powers it could not have been expected
that fnreion creditors would he able To critic;ya
in the light of the resolutions of 1898.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1853-12-29

TO be parties to secret attack on the ADMIN
istratiOn through ourselves, We give the warm
est praise and gratitude. But il shows the
effect Of fostering and nursing selfish faction
against the Democratic party OF the Unlteu
States. when Democratic Senate can be out
mannuyred, Democratic Administration ex-
posed to covert hostility, and the great Demo
cratic party Of the Union fiOuted in the teeth,
by the combination of fourteen Wings and three
Aboitionists with few Democrats. How lar
the Wing and Abolition coalition may, by Sc
cret vote and closed doors, succeed in making
tself effective by combinations in future with
disaffected Democrats, we can only learn here
after; but the adoption of Gen DJdgo's reso-
luton will at least be one step towards that
publicity which is essential to representative
responsibility"
Gross misrepresentation runs throughout tins
extract. Mr. Allen formerly Democratic
Senator from Ohio was in the habit OF MAKING
an annual motion to hold open executive scr
sons but the disciples of Monticello and the
Hermitage" so favorably alluded to by the
Union never cordially sustained him. The
Democrats, who have 80 often had 1t IN their
power to put an end to the secret session"
have never seriously attempted it. Leading
Southern Democrats have steadtastIy with
stood such a reform The only attempt made
to accomplish it, since the days Of Mr.. Allen,
has originated with Mr.. CHASE, an " Abolition
Senator" as he is styled by the Union, and
been sustained by Mr.. SUMNER, another "Abo-
liton SENATOR And yet the organ" with
characteristic recklessness charges the main
tenancc of this anti-repdbIcan usage of secret
sessions, upon combination of Wings, Adolf
tionists, and few disaffe ,ted ID ,mOcrats Let
the editors look to the Journal of the Senate Of
the last Congress, and they will find the charge
made fatty disproved by the facts officially re-
corded That is not abby referring to their
own flies of the same period, they will find not
a word said in their columns in support of the
resolution of Mr.. Chase. Their zsal against
s,cret voting has sprung up since the election
of Mr. Tucker as Printer to the Senate.
H. Since this was written, Mr.. Chase has
again brought forward his resolution for the
abolition of the rule requiring secret sessions,
but not one word of approval came from the
TuiOn
