similar course will be observed in the present instance
The position is OF great Importance and the people
expect it to be filled BY Mr. Pierce. We concur in the

From the Raleigh Standard.
MIR. BADGER.-It seems now TO be understood that Mr.
Badgers nomination for Supreme Court Judge has been
laid over by the Senae-in other words, will not be
acted upon at all.
We are surprised that gentleman OF Mr. Badgers pc
cuar personal pride should have permitted bis name 10
be used when there any reasonable ground appre
bend that he would meet with disappointment lie must
have had strong that he would be confirmed
or he must have desired the Office very much II The
nomination has, indeed. been laid over this is his last
chance for seat on that bench.
Mr. Badger would doubt make a geOl Supreme
Court judge but then his OF The federal conslu
ton, and OF the powers Of the federal government are
erroneous to the last degree
Mr. Badger has succeeded well, rem arkaby well asa
lawyer but politician he is decidedly common place
His stump efforts are invariably only elegant rehashes
OF party slang; and his political speeches in the Senate
are alike weak and superficial. He is = good lawyer,
Just as that man or the other is good carpenter but
politician, we repeat, he occupies very inferior posi-
ton.
