mated for Judge of the District composed
of Carroll and Clinton counties. 1t will
be seen that this nomination is made with
ont any regard to the action of the Legis-
lature as to the formation of new judicial
districts.
We hear that the reasons why no regard
was paid to the Statute in relation to the
new districts. grows ont of the fact that al
though the Legislature designed to effect a
change. the law failed from the following
considerations.
After TIE Bill passed. and was sent to
the Governor. that off GER returned it to the
Senate with an Endorsement notifying the
Legislature that three counties were not in
cludcd in the districts. Governor Ham
mond suggested that these reasons amount
ell to veto. The Senate thought differ
emily. Amended the Bill and sent it t.
the House where it was concurred in anC
subsequently placed upon the files wher'
it remained without the approval of the
Governor.

if the vessel had been violently thrown up
on the shore. On the 10th another and
equally alarming shock was experienced
All hands were reused. every one on board
thinking the vessel had either struck reef
or met with collision.

Jgakinyup the isecord.

During the present session of Congress
the Democratic party, as represented in that
body, has put itself on the record, legibly
and indclibly. on the following subjects:
Against tariff SO framed as to afford in
cilental protection to suffering American
industry.
Against homestead bill intended to Sc
cure every poor settler sufficient part of
the public domain for q home, without
charge.
In favor Of Polygamy. by voting against
the bill for its suppression.
Against the admission of Kansas as a
Free State, solely because she applied for
admission as Free State.
In favor Of screening the President and
his administration from searching inves-
tigation into the alleged corruptions Of the
government.
To these we shall probably have to add
the adoption of resolutions by the Demo
cratic Senate in favor of a Slave Code for
the Territories. and in support of the dogma
now fast growing into an article OF Demo
cratic creed, that the Constitution carries
slavery ecerywhere throughout the Union.
1t is not at all improbable. also, that the
same party will put itself on the record in
favor OF the doctrine that the defeat of the
Democratic party in the election Of 1861,
will be sufficient cause for dissolution oi
