Oar judicial Egectiosa-yviasson
and CosEsren.
! The first Tuesday Of April approaches,
and our people must make choice be-
Tween Edward V. Wilton, orr present
Chief Justice, aud Montgomery NJ. Goth
ren, of Mineral Point. In times when in
tegrity israre, and corruption has become
/ the rule, rather than the exception, among
Officials, we have q Chief Justice on the
Supreme Benchof Wisconsin, who is an
honest man in its noblest sense--whose in
ltegrity is so spotless, as to be acknowledged
BY even those who oppose him-whose a.
bilitY is unquestioned, whose industry is
thorough, whose courtesy is proverbial, and
above ali, whose personal character com
mands universal respect, as the upright
and irreproachable Judge. s Shall the eiec-
/ tors of Wisconsin discard such a man for
candidate of whom comparatively little is
known. Without. allowing ourselves to be
#swayed by any political considerations
whatever, we may sag to every man who
truly regards the wesi ard prosperity of
! Wisconsin, that Judge Wilton is the man
/ for Chief Justice. We. arc sure not to OBJ
tain a better Judge by aohange, aud we
may fare much worse. AS an intimate
friend pertinently says Of Wilton ---s.ysTF %
feel and know that we can trust him, if
need be, with orr property and our lives.
To a scrupuious integrity he adds that firm
ness which is not necessary ip dispensing
justice and holding an even scale between
Earring and conflicting interests"
! When also We add what is now notor-
Gus, that the election Of Judge Cothren,
would be- virtual endorsement of the a.
farming decision of Judge fancy, which.
converts even the free States Of the Re.
public into Nero appendages Of the slave
States, the election becomes of oyer-shad-
owing Importance. On the contrary, q vote
Ifor Wilton, when spoken with the Voice,
of our noble State, will be pat upon the
record Of history as that Of one Of those
Sovereignties which dissented at once and
brayely too, from the doctrines of the U. S.
Supreme Cours, which will tend more to
barbarize the policy Of our. country, than
Ieven the establishment of the Slave
trade Wisconsin.
/ MORMON CrRs1NG.-- Brigham Young,
the Mormon prophet, thus denounces one
! Gideon, who had the audacity to question
his prophetic character, and purity Of the
spiritual wife" system:
uWho is this Gideon who has come a.
monst you! He used to sell tape in ST.
Loais, and now he is here to plaspheme the
Lord and destroy the House Of lsreal.-
And what should We, children of the cove
{ nant, do in return for this evil work? Out
with the bowie knives We wore like breast
I pins at Nauvoo, and, in the name Of God
and the Prophet, gipe Ains hellg"
/ Curious History OF A CoNvIcT.-John-
son the colored man, who received a life
sentence in the Ohio Penitentiary for kill
ling yellow GIRL named Peck, who had
stolen from him and secreted a $50 gold
pieee, few month since, in this city, is
now raving lunatic. At his trial, he, in
a meacure, conducted his own defence, and
Fit was evident that he had received aned
ucaton superior to that enjoyed by the ma
liority of his class. It is now ascertafned
THAT his father is wealthy creole of New
Orleans, who, otherwise childless, had SPAR
). ed no expense in having him privately ed
ucated. Young Johnson, however, previ-
Gus to arriving at maturity, had evolved
himself in scrape which resulted in the
death Of companion, and required not
tonly the influence Of his. parent, but &c.,
loco IN cash to clear him. He left New
[Orleans to fall into another grevious error,
land expatiate it first by moral, and then
gIby an intellectual death.
4 EMANCIPATION IN MIssouar.-The
.lspeech Of Mr.. Brown, Of st. Louis, in the
Missouri Legislature, in favor Of making
THE state free at the earliest possible day,
lis having q very large circulation Orders
are received from every portion OF the State.
Ten thousand copi $, have already been cir.
lculated, and the demand increases still
4 The speech is a bold and iiieontroyertible
argument in favor of Kidding Missouri Of
Slavery, as the only means Of developing
Its immense renounces, BY melting free Ia
lborers to. become settlers there, as well as
lin the other western States.
