The Gasstts Of yesterday, in com
menting upon nj article exposing its
he~artlcssnsas and selfishness in en-
deavoring to prevent us from carrying
out the plan whichwe proposed for the
relief of the destitute laborers Of our
city, takes occasion to call us dema-
gogues," and to use other equally gen.
tlemsnly expressions betraying a most
initiate acquaintance with BLACKBOARD
phrases and slang terms.
II to have our attention called to
the fact that suffering exists among
our fellow creatures and to propose a
plan for their relief-if to be possessed
of the common sympathies Of humani-
ty, be demagogism, then we are dem
agogues !" but if to spend time and be
at . vast amount Of trouble, to bring
the cases Of the destitute to the notice
Of q generous public. be at all praise
worthy, then we certainly do not merit
the abuse and detraction which has
been showered upon onr heads by the
Editors of the Gazette. The concious
rectitude of our intention, in the propo-
sitiOn which we made, is anal sufiic-
lent protection against the ISLANDERS Of
u contemporary.
The great point endcavored to be
made by the Gazette, is that the arti-
cles which We have published were
calculated to injure the reputation Of
the city abroad. The same argument
was used by that sheet in reference to
our assaults upon the shinplaster"cur-
rency with which have been,and still are,
afflicted. We we're not in that instance
willing to withhold our voice from
the condemnation of a great wrong
lest peradvcnture some one should lie
about our city, and On the present occa-
sion we again decline to be deferred
from endeavoring to relieve the neces-
sites Of our laboring population, by
any fear that a wrong construction will
be placed upon our statements Of facts
by the jealousy of rival cities. Our
desire to sustain the fair fame Of our
city is second to none; but when dcs-
titution or suffering exists among any
class of II population our duty as
journalists and our common feelings of
humanity demand that we should bring
the facts to the attention of an appre-
c~iating and fair minded public.
The remarks personal to the political
editor of the Democrat with which the
Gazette closes its article, do not add
any weight to its argument and are ut
terly unworthy of our notice.

which, however, yet possessed three Bibles,
and continued steadfast in the faith. When
missionaries first landed on the island, they
met with q school teacher and his pupils,
who repeated in the Maiaysn tongue. AS
the heart panteth after the waterbrooks, 90
panteth my soul after Thee. o Lord" No
Bibles were found, but the most precious
promises of the Bible were written upon
the bark Of trees. They knew the Apostles
Greed, and the Heidelberg Catechism. and
had Christian customs. Twenty churches
and schools vet existed. Through the in
str umentality Of pastor Heldring, founder
Of the Magdalen Asylum at Steenbeck, and
and chief patron OF Inner Missions in Hol
land, four missionaries, who had been edu-
Gated under the venerable Gossner, were
sent out, and three thousand persons bap-
tized.
This is certainly q most interesting dis
covery. The island GU which these Christ
ians were found belongs to the East Indian
Archipelago. The Dutch nave for years
had political rule In this region. This may
account for the original Introduction Of
Christianity among these people. and for
the fact that the Heidelberg Cntechism was
still found in their possession. But still the
particular time and circumstances in which
this introduction took place may well chal-
lenge special attention, and elicit investiga-
ton from those who have the leisure and
facilities for prosecuting it-German Re

Judicial district We have also felt the
evils Of the present system. Judges
Booth, democrat and Tuttle, republ'-
can, were wholly unfit for the positions
they occupied. The people found u
to be SO, and when such a man as Judge
Bennett was placed upon the bench, and
was found to possess all the requisite
qualifications Of good and able Judge,
the people, without distinction o party,
we're almost unanimous in desiring his
election to the same Office. But par
tizan zeal-blind to every considera-
ton of prudence-overruled the will
Of the people, and the Republicans
have placed a younger and an untried
man in nomination simply because he
wonted the Office.
1t is doubtful whether Judge Grant
will accept the nomination Of the Dem
ocracy, Notwithstanding his Judicial
reputation is of the first order, and no
mar would add more honor to the
position than he. If he should decline
| hope that Judge Bennett will not
withdraw his name as a candidate, as
he has been placed in nomination by
the bar of Jackson and Clinton coun-
ties. lie has shown himself a compe-
tent Judge. What do people desire
more! Why ask for a change! What
has Judge Bennett done that should call
for the summary thrusting aside which
has been done by his W partys |
hope there arc people enough in this
District of sufficient independence to
act regardless of the dictation Of
cliques, factions or wire workers. Let
us secure a peoples Judge. Let politi-
clans fight as they will over the spoils
of other officers but let us wrcst from
their fangs the judiciary and place it
above the degrading level of partizan
strife. JUSTICE.

Por the State Democrat.
Reform of the Judiciary.

When the true statesman or philos-
opher takes a position Of observation
overlooking the field of civilization COW
ering the last one hundred years, he
will find, among the many splendid
and shining trophies Of progressive civ
ilization, very many radical errors in
successful operation, which, if permitted
to 90 on to their natural and inevitable
conclusions, will utterly undermine and
destroy the glorious results of a cen
tury's progress in the science Of gov
eminent and the freedom of the citizen.
The spirit Of an universal democracy
is liable to become dcbauched by a
spirit Of RIGHTEOUSNESS which aims at a
level of uniformity, regardless of essen
tial conservatism and the imposition
of legal restraints. Dignitaries lose
their honors, and government its claims
to the loyalty of the people, and both
are dragged down to the common level
of a ~radicalism, which mea rs that the
people will not be restrained by the
government of their own creating, or
by a judiciary which is impartial in its
independence. Every thing in gov
eminent must periodically be brought
to the test of the ballot box, to CRAFTY
partizan ambition. This necessarily
forces political parties into the nomi-
nation Of candidates who are most like
ly to secure the largest popular vote,
regardless Of fitness for the offices
which they are nominated to fill.
The greatest evils of this radicalism
is felt in the changes adopted a few
years since in the election of judicial
officers. Formerly judges we're ap-
pointed by the Executive, to hold their
Offices during good behavior. Under
this system judges became certain Of
their positions regardless of part,zan
elections, and naturally devoted them
aelves to a life Of study and of labor in
reducing law to a science, and establish
ing harmony and uniformity in judicial
decisions. No inducements were before
them to bend the Interpretation of law
to suit the political principles of a par
ty, or to manifest a p~roclivity to favor
itism, for the purpose Of securing a re-
election to the Office which they held.
In making the Judiciary dependent
upon the caprice Of parties the people
have taken away that independence
which secures impartiality and unifor-
nifty Of judicial decisions. When we
reflect that every political, social and
individual right, is liable to be tested
by the courts of law, sometime during
the life OF every individual, it became
q serious question whether we are not
all equally interested in placing the
judiciary above partizan influences.
Already the people of the State Of
New York are clamorous for a return
to the old system of an appointed iu
dietary ; having learned by regretful
experience. that an elective iudiciar,
introduces confusion and conflict in iu,
dicial declsionA and makes the indi
viduals dependent upon the politica
bias Of . partisan judge. Experience
has taught ne psopls thai tie reform
