CIrcuitJu,ige.

We observe by the Lacon LlteHigencer,
that Hon. SILAs RAMSEY withdraws his
name as candidate for the Office of judge of
the 9th judicial circuit This leaves NJ. T..
Hollister, Esq, and j. c. Champln, Esq,
Of Ottawa, and F., 5. Ilo!brook, Esq, Of
Peru, the only candidates in the field.
When his name was first announced, we
took occasion to express our qualification at
the fact that Mr.. HOLSTER had consented to
become candidate, and believing we had
no better man in the circuit for the office,
urged his election. Although other candi-
dates were subsequently announced, we
have nothing to take back of what we then
said in favor of Mr. H., and are free to con.
fess that he is still our first choice As all
the candidates, however, are good men, arc
well known to nearly III the voters in the
circuit, and as we hold it improper to make
political considerations ground of prefer
ence or objection to either, we have no dis
position, at this late hour, to quarrel about
che candidates, and hope our readers will at
least take the pains to vote for somebody,
satisfied that the law will be ably and justly
administered, and the country safe in the
election Of either. .......
