choice Of sides, and puts the Lawyers through

influence. Lawyers are pu: up and put

i, should be most seriously borne in mind by
every homes, voter, that our Courts are not es-
,sbhshed 40 pus any body through 1t is a
place from which passion, prejudice and all
tavoriiism should be banished, where debera- ,
ton, caution, careful thought, high moral inte-
grit, should alone have sway. ,
|. can be said without the fear of contradic.
tIou that The Bar, the Bench, the Tribunal of
Justice, have suffered more, have fallen lower, :
and suffered in the confidence of the people to
ssreaer extent during one short year OF Clag-
getlIs presiding than il has ever dcne before. .
The Court has become an electioneering arena /,
10 which oil the private grievances of the Judge
are carefully discussed from the Bench. He
uses the Judges seat to abuse his enemies He
makes eddresses from the Bench and heralds his Y
own praise AID greatness to the trembling suit
's. aud makes TO some extent homage to his
luavagant foliies test TO the rights of par
leo who are having suit before him.
CAsgett claims that he is coin, the peoples
,u.iness. That his zeal in the cause o. the dear
eope in pushing forward their business has q
'aled forth all this opposition. s.
The people q mass, as CIaggett appeals to D.
hem, nave no other business with the Court, q
,cept to see and knou that justice is done 81
10 ~ and know that no wrong or inj lstice is q
lone to any one, be he high or low, rich or q
Oor He is not doing the peoples business by v
olding the Judicial lash over every body and 10
1sry thing tha. appears in his presence. Sc os
srty -oppression-tyranny have no appoint. pc
ents in our American Courts, and the people
e never served or their rights sustained by tr.
e introduction and use of such implements of
rong as existed in the pas, ages. -.
Let the people look TO their true interest and u,
eurs to all Tribunal that "puts no man or y,
u Of men through" but that does Justice to u,
