JnncE OF THE HE SUPREME CouRr-The nomination
of Mr. Badger has excited no little surprise in our
It was expected that Mr.. Fillmore, af- /
ter the rejection of Mr.. Bradford by the Senate, and
the triumphant election of Gen. Pierce by the peo
ME- would permit the nomination OF judge in the
nlace of Justice Mckinley to devolve upon his sue
cessor This was the expectation of the people. 1t
was what had previously taken place 1t, however,
nomination was to be made, and WING was to be |
nominated why was not selected from the States
in this district? Is there competent in Ala
bama or Louisiana, belonging to the whg party, to
discharge the duties of this high office (! The nomi
nation of Mr.. Badger is reflection upon the wing
marty in the Southwest-it is reflection upon the
distinguished members of the bar in this circuit
We hone the nomination will be rejected Mr.. Bad
GERS judicial attachments are not denied; but we
hesitate not in saying that his equals if not his
to preside The political principles of the judge
should not be overlooked. 1t is no time to appoint
men whose principles lead them to strengthen the
power of the federal government at the expense OF
the reserved rights Of the States. On this ground
the nomination will be unpopular at the South. No
democrat from the South will be found supporting
nomination thus indelicatey made, and that meets
with the condemnation of the party The party
would not tolerate such abandonment of duty
We expect, therefore, that the nomination of Mr..
Badger will be rejected.-li0bHe Register
