ly complimentary to Judge WHIroN, express
sing confidence in his impartiality, legal at
tainments and strict integrity, were unani-
mously adopted. Judge Wilton is now hold
ing his last term of Court in this county, and
will in a few weeks enter upon the duties OF
his office as Judge of the new Supreme
Court, which has been created in this State,
and to which he has been elected by the suf-
frages Of the people. Judge Wilton was
elected to the office of Circuit Judge not on
party grounds, but was voted for by men of
all parties from a regard to his fitness and
qualifications for the Office The unbending
sense of right by which it is acknowledged
he has been governed in all Of his official re-
lations, is proof that the people untrammel-
ed by political considerations, can make good
selections for judicial offices. Judge Wilton
has been elevated to the bench of the Supreme
Court not as partisan or candidate Of any
particular party, but as the choice of the PEG
pie influenced by no political considerations
and the wisdom of the peoples choice we be-
lieve will be fully verified.

of Grand River, on the western side of the
State, to Port Huron on the eastern side,

of English capitalists have consolidated a
railroad project in Canada with the view of
building rail road from Port Sarnia, on the
St. Clair River Opposite Port Huron) to To-
ronto, Montreal and Quebec, to point on
the Gulf of st. Lawrence. The amount of
capital which has been concentrated for this
object is $47oo0,ooo. When this chain of
road shall be completed, direct communi-
