An Elective Judiciary.

Whenever we object to the election of
Judges by the people, which is one of the
reforms most desired by those who wish to
'assimilate our institut ions to those of the
States around us" we are told (says the
Providence JournaI) that sit works well in
New York" The following extract from
the address of the New York Reform COM
mittee shows how well it works there:
''These persons that carry these prima-
Try elections not only have money in view
IN the end all taken from the city treasury
but higher objects; and these are, indie
Ipendence Of the magistracy of the city and
Iof the law; exemption from punishment
for the crimes they commit, the robberies
they may be guilty OF, and even the blood
they may she'd in sudden ARRAYS or in cool
and deliberate malice. They reason we'll
that if they can create the magistracv. then
can operepe At and control it.. that if
they can make Judges, they can be as
IPooeJM as Judges themselves; that if
they are the manufacturers Of justices and
the police, their manufactured machinery
must aCork ont their agW. x y
Hence In New York it is so hard to punish
crlne, and hence crime so often escapes
Hence, too, from this frequent escape it
has become SO audaeious that murder or
manslaughter are crimes Of almost daily
occurrence. 1t is notorious-and we can
name the characteristic men who have
been indicted for high crimes and INSIDE
meanors, and escaped only BY influences
they created in primary elections. have
this year named the judiciary of the CITY
or been over an over again on the most
important nominating committees. De-
ceney alone torbids our naming characters
and places that influence and carry or act
IN these primary elections, which would
shock s. the community by their very men

Principles and their Consequent

The admissl on of Mr.. Harris, one of the
Democratic candidates in Illinois, that, I'M
der the popular sovereignty principle,
the Mormons of Utah will be entitled to
come into the Union with their do nestle
institution of polygamy, has created some
inquiry in regard to the consequences ofthe
doctrine, if exercised in its widest latitude.
Upon this point the St. Louis Intelligencer
remarks:
"Squatter sovereignty may look very
well in the abstract, but when you begin
to apply the principle it is found to involve
tabsurdities and contradictsons which must
forc04ne who respect themselves and the
institutions of their country either to aban-
don the principle altogether, or to content
themselves with the stupid, irrational
course too often pursued in the world Of
carrying the principle out only just so far
as seems convenient, and applying it only
to those cases in which it will work totheir
advantage. The principle, however, once
admitted, hardy theorists will always be
found ready to apply it in way from
which those by whom it was once laid
down for a particular purpose would
shrink with horror.
''Grant that men have right to assem-
bic on the territory of the United States,
form their institutions without any refer
ence to those already existing here, and
ignore utterly those great fundamental
principles of christian morality upon which
all our institution are based, and which
they support, and on what ground shall
we refuse admission to the Chinese, when
they form an idolatrous community on the
Pacific coast numerous enough to come in
to the United, bringing their ugly idols a
long with them? On what principle can
you then reject the Mormons, Of whose in
stitutions plurtlity of wives and the most
disgusting and degrading theories and
practices are a leading feature? On what
principle, should herd of cannibal Indians
take advantage of circumstances to paddle
out of the way Of some victorious enemies
and make a settlement in our coast, and
there increase and multiply until their
numbers were sufficiently great to give
them right to admission-on what prin-
ciple should their strong-minded views and
superiority to our prejudice against eating
human flesh operate against their admis-
sion into the Union?"

DOUGLAS Practice OF POPULAR SovER-
EIGNTY.-Judge Douglas organ, the Chi
Ichigo Times AYERS that if the Legislature
of Illinois pass instruction to have him 90
to work for the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise or resign his seat:
"Such an Instruction woald be as ridi-
lculous as it would be extraordinary, as alb
'surd as it would be unjust, and carrying
whit about as little obligation as it would
receive obedience. We have no idea that
it would be received, outside of the fusion
camp, hany other feeling than derision
and pity.
After all his grandifferous eulogiums of
this double distilled bolus of rascality," as
old Bullion calls it, Judge Douglas is about
to demonstrate his disbelief in the doc
trine when applied to or exercised by the
States.

SrRANGE.-Notwithstanding the low
credit of Illinois money nearly every Bank
in the State is redeeming its notes in coin,
and the notes are made perfectly secure by
deposites of State Stocks with the State
Comptroller, dollar for dollar for their is
sues. The only apprehension of their UNI
soundness arises from possible deprecia-
ton of State Stocks consequent upon
throwing several million of these State
Stocks into the eastern Stock markets,
which can be done when Banks suspend
payments. The Indiana Banks are Sc
cured in the same way, and so are the
notes Of Wisconsin Banks. The present
crisis will blow over, and perhaps a second
crisis, before the great all-killing day OF
judgement comes upon the Banks of the
Nation. The present excitement is mere
ly gotten up by brokers and fools adroitly
combined, there is no rational cause fol-
1T; there is no danger of single Bank
of Illinois Or even Indiana, secured by
Stocks. The rub will be postponed to a
more convenient season, say about the
time when the Banks can make bigger
haul by bursting. These State Stocks arc
too precious and cost too much to make
Bank Liquidotions profitable. 1t must
be aclean sweep-Stocks, securities, depos-
its, assets and all-all clear gain to the
Banks when they burst. What right has
the note holder to cent of dividend :
Preposterous thought, that bill-holders are
to be favored with anything but pictures
Of Indians, trains of cars, heads of Jackson
Douglas, Clay and the like No danger
now!

Attempted soiiions oftise Cause

Il, q remark mss on the day after the
Naw York eleetio, we anticipated many
excuses and explaitions as to the manner
n which ono esntlate succeeded and a
mother failed. Moody could have been
very sanouine on ae subject if the Judge
ment was formed rom any existing state
of facts, yet every &c whose duty IL Is 70
cater for the publ seems now to have
foreseen all that bpened. We copy a
few of the specalaons on results:
FROM THE ..BANY ARGUS.
THE REsuLT-h were not unprepared
before the polls closd yesterday in this cl-
Ity, for some strans result here, II not
throughout the Sta.
Those who wereabout the city could
not fail to have Observed that party differ
iences were entirely obliterated and swel-
lowed up in the iBane desire on the part
of the Democratic defeat Seymour, the
part of the Whigsto elect him, as the
champion of the Igor interests, and to de-
feat their own Main. Law candidate.
But we confess, tbugh prepared, as we
thought, for any thig within the range
of the extraordinaries to our amazement
to find, when the hllots were counted,
how controlling and absorbing was this
feeling on enc side AMI the other.
More than one-half the Wing roe9 ., gf
the city went over to Seymn"r on the IL
quor issue, whilst nearly the entire Demo-
cratic vote, we are obliged to state, was
thrown for Ullmann, small portion only
going for Seymour Oh the liquor question.
One of the most remarkable incidents of
the day was the larg. number of German
votes polled for Ullnann. In every dis
trict in the city Irish adopted citizens did
the same thing, theIutter establishment OF
all beholders. The Gilman vote in this cl-
ty is not more than three fourths native
born. 1t is cleai that the Wings made
nothing by representing Ullnann as a for
eigner.
The scattering returns received last night
and this morning Indicate equally strange
results in the State.

GA well written article appears in
the Charleston Courier paper published
IN the Egypt of Illinois, advocating the a
doptlon Of Slave labor in that State. 1t is
thought to be leader in behalf Dougl as
programme Of efficient purposes to Ma
tlonallze Slavery by doing the thing by
Titles, and in a few years, consummating
the entire job of establishing Niger labor
over free labor throughout America. The
re-openlng Of the external slave trade was
to be the consummating or crowning work
Of finality, after which, many think Slavery
might De able to take care of itself. The
only security of Illinois against this retro
grafton towards Slavery, is her public
schools.
