W. nderftnIIy Funny.

The Courier Of yesterday morning contained an
elaborate article in reference to the
Judge Robertson and Mr.. tDaunoy. or course, as
good case was made out for the Judge as possible;
but notwithstanding the ingenuity displayed, the Ell
fort was rather tame affair Circumstances alter
cases sometimes ; but there are cases SO hard that
no earthly circumstance can have the smallest effect
mon Them The one referred to is Of that character
Hence the comparative failure Of the Courier.
But one portion Of the article 50 remarkable that
we feel constrained to copy and comment upon it.
Speaking Of certain squads ofrnen evidently armed
and intent on mischief who have taken occasion to
peer irso1ently and often insultingly" into the
Judges face, (Why did be not have them arrested p
the Courier deriving its authority from the Judge

Well, if g he could not be blind to the object Of
these men, why did he not bring the power Of the
lawto bear upon them? AS a citizen, it was his
duty to do so-as d sworn conservator Of the peace
it was his boanden duty to do SO. But he did not
Instead Of vindcating the law he proceeded to VIC
late the law And he did SO deliberately. Accord
ing to the Courier he took advice of reliable iends
and these "friends well as members Of the Grand
jury; advised him to arm himsef-to load his per
son with concealed deadly weapons--right in the
teeth Of the express statutes Of the commonwealth
He followed the counsel -unwisely given and un
wisely receivedand what has been the consequence
Why, in conflict with q gentleman, he has been Sc
verely caned, and must hereafter pass through the
ordeal of a criminal prosecution!
Before closing we would like to know what business

land. We have always been under the impression
that their functions were altogether Of different
character it their duty to seek out and re-
i port the commission Of crimes-not recommend the

involves a serious charge against members Of the
Grand Jury' which, if they rest easy and quiescent
under it will cause future Grand Juries to be looked
upon with suspicion We do not wish to be otficious
and cordially detest intermediates nevertheless we
must be permitted to suggest that a response from

thus take away from the Governor and
Council the appointing power except to
fill vacancies.
4. Bat it has been said that the amend
meni itself causes q vacancy in the office.
How can this be ? The present Sheriff of
this county holds cemmi son which will
not expire, accoding to its tenor, until
February 2lst, 1858. 1t was issued by
authority, competent at the time it bears
date, tomake this grant. 1t confers impor-
tant privileges and powers, and will con-
tinue to run on, uninterrupted, for the
whole term of four years, unless it is SOON
cr terminated by the executive, or by the
amendment of the constitution. The ouly
way in which the Governor and Council
could terminate it wonld be by claiming
the power to appoint another person. OF
this power they have been Invested by the
amendment. And the only way in which
the amendment itself operates upon it is by
providing for the election of another, whose
term may commence on the first day Of
January 1857 Then the commission will
expire by the operation of the new provi-
sions added to the constitution but until
then, the rights origanilly granted will re-
main, and, unless forfeited by neglect or
misconduct, cannot be taken away.

Gov. Wells is fast acquiring the bad
pre-cmincncc of being set down as rash,
self willed, and INSCRIPTIONS politician.
Placed in power by the intrigues and
deceptions OF old POLITICAL s,agers.and by
the groSest misre presentations ofthc then
existing administration, prudent and sa-
gacious men expected him to pursue a u-
Cicious. conservative and honorable course
while in the Gubertorial chair, so as TO do
away with any impression Of contrary
course which some of the people suppos-
cdhc would pursue. Instead Of starting
fair in his duties. he assumes the power
of overriding other branches of the State
government and of combining in his own
person such high abilities, as TO do away
with the Judiciary TO decide on doubtful
constitutional questions. He wants the
offices Of the State to reward his parti-
zans, and they want them in par, pay for
patriotic services performed; and have
them, the Gov. decides they shall, nc
matter at what lengths he has to go in
pntting the thing through. Surely when

The AMenednets Of the Constitution
5. j. CouRr, CUMBERLAND Co., Jan TERM
1856.

Seward NJ. Baker of Windham, and
Daniel c. Emery of Gorham, claimed each
to be the Sheriff of the County Cumbcr-
land The commission of the former is
dated February 2lst, 1854 and that OF
the latter Jan. 18th, 1856. The former
has oihciated in Court until this sixth OF
the term and the latter now applies to
the Court to be recognized in his otiicicl
capacity. Upon such application the
Court will assume no authority to deter
mine which of the parties is, under the con-
stiution, the sheriff of the county nor
will the Court interpose between the claim
ants, except so far as it may be necessary
for its own protection, and the transaction
of its own business. But for this purpose,
it has become necessary for this Court to
express an opinion upon the question OF
their rights, | have given the subject such
consideration US the very brief space OF
time, and the pressure of other matters,
have permitted.
By several resolves of the legislature,
approved March 18th, 1855, certain pro-
posed amendments to the constitution were
submitted TO the people By the adoption
of these amendments, the office of sheriff
with others, would be made elective.-The
people have voted upon the question, the
Governor and Council have counted the re-
turns which were transmitted to the Office
OF the Secretary of State, and it is known
that a majority of the inhabitants voting
on the questions were in favor of the
amendments The Governor and Counci
have also made return of the vote TO thu
legislature now in session, though it may
well be doubted if the Court can take judi.
cial notice of this fact.
1t has been the practice of the legisla,
ture, whenever amendments to the eonsti
tuition have been adopted, to pass 4 specia
resolve, declaratory Of that fact. Aud i,
is said that these amendments will not bs
in force until that shall be done. On the
other hand it is objected that this cannot
be so, because, if so, the legislature would
have the power, by refusing to pass any
such resolve, for time, to defeat an amend
ment after the people have adopted it.
This reason for the objection is not salts.
factory. The Governor and Coueil might
refuse to count the returns,-and yet the
consequences which would result from such
misconduct are no evidence that action on
their part is not necessary. The whole
theory of a representative government. is
based upon the presumption that those who
are in official stations will be faithful TO
the trust committed to them. To deny
that power is given. because it might be
abused, is to deny all delegated power.
But the fallaey Of the objection does not
prove the trnth of the proposition. 1t he
