and illiberal cannot be denied by any one
who will fairly consider the bearing Of
the case Our courts are for the inter
probation and enforcement of the laws
and the administration Of justice. Our
opponents will hardly care to assert that
the portion Of the people of Maine who

offices are needful to them for their emol-
umcnts, or still worse for party advantage
in the courts.
The broad and liberal view Of this mat
ter in which lies the safety OF the whole
community, is the one which recognizes
the principles Of justice as immutable,
and as pertaining exclusively to no sect
or party-that no suspicion of bias should
rest upon the eminent and learned men
who are called to wear the judicial ermine
and that fair representation of relig
ious and political views, as well as OF

him, and he would have suffered the eX-
Heme penalty Of the law, had his prose-

the miserable man to plead guilty TO
murder in the second degrec.
He was therefore brough: into court
