perceive why he is elective by the whole
district. And to further strengthen this
view, I might refer to other parts of the
constitution Thus, in the Article in re-
lation to the apportioument of Judges and
other officers, provision is made how new
counties shall be attached to judicial dis
tricts. That section, when reported to
to the convention, was rs follows: "See'
ii. The General Assembly shall attach
any new counties which may hereafter be
erected, to such of said Judicial districts
and to such Subdivisions thereof as shall be
most convenient" Const. Deb.tes, S24.
And the section as it now stands in the
constitution is as follows: The General
Assembly shall attach any new counties
that may hereafter be erected, to such DIS
tricts, or Subdivisions thereof, as shall be
most convenient" Art. l, sec. g. Prob
ably an eletion by whole district was at
that time contemi late 10y the convention
But however that may be, feel much
confidence in the position that the three
Judges authorized by the constitution to
bp elected in the three subdivi ions of each
district, must continue to be elected by
those subdivisions while the present con-
stitution is in force; and think that
have shown. not only that the power
may be granted to elect the additional
Judges ny the whole district, but that it
is the regular and constitutional, as well
as the just and equitable. mode of election;
and this is all that / desired to to.
Judge Hanna has discoursed about the
motives Of the legislature in authorizing
an election by the whole district in the
9th and 9Th districts, and 10y subdivisions
in other districts; the jealousy that would
likely arise between the Judges if some
of them should be elected by whole dis.
tricts and others by subdivisions; the prop
er construction of Art. 4, sec. 10: and
about other III atters; but in the view whict
l tuke of this question, it is qnite unnec
essary to reply to any Of them. j.

Here it is: t *
"a respectable gentleman in Windsor
County. many years ago, had an ambition

and every way able for the office he sought
he happened, as Aunt Peggy used to say.
to have "a great many winning ways to
make folks hate him." and was, in fact.
the most unpopular man in town. Going
to Squire X, an influential man, who hap
peued to he friendly to him, he laid his
case before him, and asked his influence;
saying that he did't expect help without
paying for it, and declaring that if he
could get KS influence be was sure to DO
elected. The Squire "put in his best
jumps" for his man, and when the ballot
box was turned. another man was declared
elected. The disappointed candidate
called out to know how the votes stood,
and learned that he had got just three
vOtes "But l don't understand it." said
he. turning to the Squire with q chap
fallen countenance. "Nor I either" said
the Squire. ~ put in my vote, you pat in

islature, while the subdivisions are "equal
in population" authorize the election of
an additional Judge in either subdivision?
1t has been done. and probably the legis-
lature has discretionary power to do this;
but we have seen that in making the elec-
tion districts the convention had some re.
gard to population, and that only one
Judge is to be elected in O subdivision
1t seems to me, therefore, the plan of elec-
ting additional Judges by subdivisions,
only equal in population with the others.
although, perhaps. within legislative dis
cretion, and therefore constitutional, does
not commend itself to US by reason of it's
justice, or fairness, or propriety; and
can scarcely think that the plan could
have been contemplated by the trainers OF
the constitution. How, then, are the ad-
ditional Judges to be elected? The an-
swer it seems to me is plain.
No power is given to increase the sub.
divisions; they are to be 'as nearly equal
in population as practicable;" one Judge
only is to be elected by subdivision; and
therefore, if the number Of Judges in dis
trict is increased, it must be done by ar
election of the whole district-an election
10y all the persons interested, and not al
election by apart only of those interested
This seems to me the fair and natural a
well as the just import of the terms employ
ed, nor can l discover anything in tn
constitution inconsistent with this view
And looking to the object and purpose i
allowing an additional Judge-that h
may assist, as occasion may require, i

whole district; and all that l have said
in favor of liberal construction of such
acts, is to Indicate the only ground upon
which, in my jn'gmeuI, the election of ad-
d,ional judges by subdivisions can be
sustained.
In the discussion of this question, it is
important to examine Art. 4. Sec. g.
1t is as follows: 1.-The State shall be di-
vided into nine common pleas districts, of
which the county of Hamilton shall con
stitute one. of compact territory, and
bounded by county lines; and each of
said districts, consisting of three or
more counties, shall be subdivided into
three pats, ofcompact territory, bounded
by county lines, and as nearly equal in
population as practicable; in each oi
which, one judge of the court of common
pleas for said district, aud residing there.
in, shall be elected by the electors of said
subdivision. Courts of common pleas
shall be held, by one or more ef these
judges, in every county in the district, a'
often as may be provided by law; ant
more than one conrt, or sitting thereof
may be held at the same time in each dis
trict." .. .....
| Was this intended to be a permanent
Interchangeable provision, orr is it subjrc
to the control of the legislature? l an
of opinion it was contemplated by tn
convention, that SO far as the section
provides that each district shall be di
vided into three subdivisions, that the
shall be as nearly equal in population
as practicable, and that only one judg
shall be elected In each subdivision, tn

is a constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood. by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofuous faint is yaIiously
caused bv mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, fifth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereaI infection. " hat
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, "
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrOUs matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver. and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swcllngs; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which geuders in the blood, dcpresses
the energies Of life, 50 that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the

climates the human family has its origin directly
