before the clection--which takes place on
Tuesday next,--We hope our readers will
not censure Us for directing their atten-
uon to the Judgeship question, and ask
them whether they have given the matter
that consideration, which one of so grave
a character deserves; and one too, which so
deeply interests every Tax payer in the
County.
The following, which We extract from
the "-Nca0 Da1ca," an independent paper,
published at Honesdale, so fully accords
with our views on this question, that we
commend it to the attention of our read
ers -
"The Office is one of weighty response
bilitv: there is no other which involves
so largely the general welfare. The
duties which pertain to it, require sound
judgement, extensive legal knowledge,
and the strictest integrity, in their proper
discharge And he who fills it, should
be one who habitually curbs prejudice
with a tight rein, and to Reason and HUI
manity, yields the privilege of judgement
and condemnation.
1t is a station high above bribery and
corruption, and must never be made the
wager Of partisan warfare if we would
preserve Justice pure in its administra
ton and uncorrupted in its ends. Make
it the reward of political cunning, or the
lurking place of interest, and the inno-
cent may well tremble with the guilty;
for the peace and security of society
hangs upon the caprice of the unprinci-
pied. Once, it was within the gift Of the
Executive; but men said, " 1t is an Office
which essentially concerns every man;
therefore, let it be the gift of the people" :"
BY an amendment to the Constitution of
this State, the Office became elective:-ld
us sec that Il becomes not tic rczrard achjch
faction 6cSto1rS ugo1l its loaatr.
In determining for whom his vote shall
be cast, every man should ask himself,
not "shaIl l honor this or that party
leader" but "who is the better qualified
| by reason of wisdom and integrity"
In the Hon. JAMES VI. PORTER, We
behold a man who will not only dis
charge the arduous duties of the Office
with distinguished credit to himself, but
unquestionably to the satisfaction of all
honest men; and who will not only sus-
tain, but increase the dignity of the
Bench. AS lawyer he enjoys reputa-
ton acquired by nearly forty years sue
cessful practice, of which any man might
we'll be proud, and which but compare,
lively few ever reach At the present
time, he is generally recognized as stand.
ing at the head of his profession in the
+ State He is distinguished no less fol
correct judgement and strict integrity
than for humanity and love of Justice
In every requirement he is just such a
man as the station calls for, and being
elevated to It, will make every man whc
shall vote for him, proud Of his privilege

Tins far We have foreborne any allusion to Con-
vention in this District for the purpose of selecting
Congressional candidate, for several reasons, but
chiefly because we did not perceive any demand Tor
Il on the part of the Democrats of the District
whose desresin the matter would of course. be de-
csive Nor have found any such dissatisfaction
with the course of our Representative, Mr.. Ashe, as
led US to regard the movement as necessary. Nor,
indeed have we: found any dissatisfaction. These,
of course were simply our own views, subject to the
decision of the party at large, to whom all such
questions must finally be submitted. The change
made in the District from its former composition
has not appeared to of sufficient Importance to
alter previously existing opinions or arrangements
the only new County. Richmond, having polled only
LAG votes for General Pierce and We feel confident
that this Spartan band of republicans will be fully
prepared to act in concert with the great body of
their party in the other portions of the District and
to ratify any just arrangement which may be made.
In our own approval of Mr.. Ashes course. we have
simply given utterance to the sentiment of the DEM
ocratic press Of the State, without single excep-
on that we have been able to discover and also OF
the Democratic press of other States, in all cases,
where allusion to that gentleman has been made. In
this as in other matters, the people of the district
are the final arbiters.
The policy CT holding Convention must depend,
in great measure, upon the probability of obtain
ing full and satisfactory representation and this
again upon the interest manifested by the people
and their belief in it's necessity under existing cir
cumstances for, without such belief, strongly en-
tertained no full and satisfactory representation Of
the people of the District could be got together at
this busy time of the year; and it is almost unnc-
cessary to add that without such full and satsfaco
ry representation, Convention could hardly COM
RTand the respect and acquiescence of the party.
1t will be seen that we publish the proceedings oil
Democratic meeting, held last week, in Dupn
county upon this subject 1t will remain for our
readers to form their own conclusions upon which
their action will be Promised after proper reflection
We know that, so far as Mr.. Ashe lis concerned
he is perfectly willing to submit his claims to the
action of Convention and to abide the decision O
the district in any proper manner in which it may
be expressed In any remarks in regard to the poll
cy Of a Convention we express simply our own views
without committing wishing to commit other par
ties.
