The 18th day of April 5 rapidly approaching.
On thai day you are called upon to decide a
question of nomentous interest TO yourselves as
citizens, as affecting the purity of the elective
franchise, defence of popular rights from the
epcroachments Of Judicial tyranny, and the
right Of every citizen 10 protection, at the hands
of the Government, Of his liberty and property.
Il Chief Tastjce Of The Supreme Cont is to be
elected to serve for SIX years. Judge WILTON,
the faithful. impartial and erudite jGrist, who
now adorns that position, IS the Peoples CGndi-
date for reelection called ont, not by any eau
Gus Of political wire workers for the accomplish
nent Of political ends, but by IN overwhelming
expression of the popular voice in al portions
Of the State. His frmness in the famous Bar
stow trial, which resulted in ejecting from the
Capitol the usurping Governor, who had by the
most unparalleled frauds and the most hrazen
effrontery obtained possession of the executive
Office. alone entitle him 10 The gratitude Of the
people The decision Of tie Court granting The
writ of hajeGs corpus to citizens Of this State,
imprisoned under the Fugitive Slave Act-the
most disgracefuI law which ever disfigured the
pages Of a Statute Book-will eudear him for
ever to all friends Of justice. humanity and State
rights.
Heading the opposition. stands Judge Goth
ren, nominated by small Convention Of men
calling themselves Democrats: and although if
is denied here that he IS 4 partisan candidate,
il is not denied that Democratic Convention
nominated him: ard for what purpose. and
what Is expected OF him, It behooves the people
TO consider.
The same Convention endorsed the acts
and Administration OF Franklin Pierce by res
olution and thus BY instruction this candidate
stands upon pro-slarery party platform, sus-
tanning the judicial usurpation of the infamous
Judge Lecompte in Kansas, sustaining the de-
cisions Of Judge Miller in Wisconsin. ral.iug
blood-hounds Of her citizens: and sustaining
the outrageous decisions Of the present Supreme
Court Of the United States, which virtually
make slave territory Of every foot OF soil over
which the Star Spaneled Banner may wave,
overturning the very foundations Of State Sow
ereignty. and enabling the Georgia planter TO
transplant his chattels and 2alrs into the free
State of Wisconsin.
The Judiciary Of this State occupies proud
position. Let not the crmiue lie suIIed. Let
the people stand by their Supreme Court. and
resist that Capitalization of power in tie bands
of national Executive or judiciary, under his
control, which cndaugers the liberty and equal
rights of every citizen. Let every man be at
the polls.
