Of the kind in this State, or, SO for as l know,
IN any State in the Union. 1t is strong argu-
ment against the claim Of any power without
statutory authority that it is new. 1t ap.
plies with peculiar force when an attempt is
made to extend the common law jurisdiction OF any
court In such cases, if courts can go beyond the
uniform practice, there Is no limitation, and their
power would be arbitrary and its exercise intolera
BILE. know that it has been contended that the
power to issue nunctions has been extended by the
junction Of law and equity jurisdiction in the same
tribunal But such is not the necessary even
probable consequence. The Court Of Chancery was
no favolite with the convention by which It was
abolished. 1t had become obnoxious to the people,
not only for its delays and the great expense involved
in its proceedings, but for its frequent and often
vexatious interference with the ordinary affairs Of
men. 1t was designed to counterfeit, and certainly
not to increase, these evils, that all equity jurisdic-
ton was transferred to tribunals which had been pre-
viously courts of law. Upon the whole, | am salts
fed that the learned Judge by whom the injunction in
question was allowed went beyond the jurisdiction of
his court because, first, such injunction was restrict
i've Of legislative acton second, it unnecessary
and third it transcribed the limits established by
the practice Of courts of equity. In my opinion,
therefore, neither that, the proceedings of the
Common Council after it had been served on the
Aldermen and Assistants, stand in the defendants
way. Thus far it will be SEEM am with the defend
ants. But there Ia, in my opinion, formidable diff

The nomination of Dr. VIM. ". Welch
OF Norfolk as the wing candidate for:
congress in this District, we regard as a
a sure guarantee Of success. He is a
gentleman Of fine talents and much le,
glsla'ive experience, and is withal one Of
the most popular msa in the county. He
has often been before the people as can
didate for their suffrages, and NEVER WAS
DEFEATED! Two or three times he has
represented Norfolk in the Lower House,
an in 1851 and again in 1852. he was
elected to the Senate from the XVIIlh
District. That District is always consid-
cred doubtful and 10 an ordinary COM
test is quite as likely to 60 against US as
for US: yet at the last election he was cho-
sen by majority of some THREE HUNDRED.
We anticipate for him rousing vote in

duty, (as we doubt not she will his cleo.
tion is certain. But our friends through
