aid does not find single one deserving
the exalted pos'slon.

Judge Mclean "was appointed by
Gen. jackson As a reward for services
against Jno. Q. Adams, and he is ever

once to have groomed.
Judge. Doniels ais narrow minded.

Judge Nelson ''is only fit fora Coun-

Judge Grier ''is vascillating, rough.
rude and vulgar, without asingle quail
