referred to. For this statement, we have the besi
authority. And this may be Democracy too after the
Judges 't,sf, without any prefix" Is charged
too that Judge CHENowErH in the last July election
voted and used his influence for the election Of Mr.
| D. S. HOWE, and against Mr. n. HILL, the Demo
cratic candidate for representative Of Island county
and this may be good Democracy, after the Judge
tsst-"withOut any prefix In his letter speaking Of
the petitions that circulated asking for bis reap
pointment, the Judge says:
These petitions were not circulated in all the
remote settlements and yet they contained the sigma
lures Of more than sevenghths Of all the voters oil
my district"
Doubtless the Republican party all signed his pet-
ton; and this again, may be all right and proper
after the Judge's "testn OF Democracy; but Oh
what "preRxw From the above, it will be very
readily inferred that tho Judge is certainly not very
strong Democrat
At time when this territory part of Oregon,
Judge c. was not considered a Democrat at all-after
any tesf," icih or "lcitiOut any prefix we reco.
lect Alright in 1871 he was strong" in sustaining
the decision Of the Supreme Court in the seat OF
government question between Oregon City and So.
m,-hking Sides with the zone Horse CouncilD in
that memorable legislative issue, &C., &c. We
thought better-wel, Of his political COURSE subse
quently. But as he avers, it is To be inferred
that he Is different kind Of Democrat than is Gov
STEVENS, Gen. MILLER, or Judge SrRoNo, and as all
those gentlemen stand upon the Cincinnati platform
as well as that promulgated by the last Democratic
Territorial Convention, we at q loss to know the
character or platform Of principles entertained by
"simpiy Democrat" BRIGHAM YOUNG may be that
kind Of Democrat; but then be has any number Of
"prehxes."
In the third complaint, Judge C. appears desirous
Of manufacturing capital out Of what be claims to
have been the dShOnssy Of those who circulated the
remonstrances against his own and Judge LANDERs
reApPOintment by falsely reading the same-in omit
ting bis (Judge C.'s) name-gving them the appear
ance, in some instances Of being against Judge Lam
DER only. To what extent this may be true, il at all
Of course we have means Of knowing but honestly
believe that few very few, names were obtained by
this device. None were ever thus obtained in this vi
ciniy that have learned Of and we are told that
the remonstrances against Judge C.s reappointment
were signed with equal readiness as against Judge
LANDER In truth, Judge c., seems to lay that "aat-
tering unctlon to his SOUL to which he is not enti
tied for whilst the generally admitted to be
competent and qualified by education, and legal
knowledge for the position, it was not claimed for
Judge @. that he is was or ever could be SO emf
nently qualified.
= few words in conclusion: The Judge talks quite
hippanty about "Hy" (hls) district, and complains
that rOmOnstrances against his reappointment were
circulated in the central and "extreme opposite side
Of the territory" The Judges for the several judicial
districts assigned by the Legislature and If they
do not like the districts to which they have been as
signed, they can resign. Our Judges are appointed
for Warrington Territory, and not for any specific
district and neither Judge can say this or that is my
district Again, Judge c. is very well known in the
extreme opposite side Of the territory bis former
residenoe-fOr a number Of years was there He
owns very valuable landed property there and why
his objection in the premises Did he fear his unpopu-
larity in the region Of his former homei Or did the
people there fear that he might possibly be assigned
to that district In another place in Judge G IS let
ter, he says; ~
Some OF the petitions forwarded in my behalf
discussed the exciting points which our dele
gate and myself differed and In my letter to the At
torney General made such explanations as occurred
TO me- together with reasons for the views entertain
ed, &C., &C."
Here. then, was renewal Of the martial law con.
troVersy-not BY Gov srEvENs' or his friends, but by
the petitions forwarded for Judge CHENoWETHs reap
pointmsnt, Tradition 70 which, fearing perhaps that
that subject would become cold, he must needs open
Il afreah TO the Attorney General The above is
an admission that It will be very proper to stick
pin in"
Again, (and with this extract we will close for the
present. the Judge says
