TuE Clinton Dsasocraf favors an appoint
i've system of Judiciary. Ii seems to us
that there is already too much power in
vested in the Governor, and this fact has
been set forth by the obstinate abuse of
the pardoning power; and besides il seems
that human nature, even in our high off
cials, is prone to favor kinsUeu aud
friends Criasnden Press.
There is very large class Of citizens
who are in the habit of saying that they
favor an appointiye Judiciary, precisely
as there is q large class who say they are
tired of Republican form Of Govern ment.
One third Of these don't mean what they
say; another third are sore over dis
appointment in securing the election of
fsvoriie; and the other thisd inherit the
idea from correlatiye list Of fosselizea
preferred ancestors. To be sure, the
people may make mistakes ia slsel7lg
Judge; and on The other hand the Cover
nor can make mistakes IN appoiaaag
Judge. If the people make such mis-
take, the people can remedy 1t at the next
election; bat IL the Governor makes
mistake the people cannot remedy it. The
truth is, our fOrefatAers in their expert
ence travelled over all this ground, and
out of their experience established the
elective system, because the appointive
power was so often abused. We, Of the
present generation, practicaily, know
2othing Of the mistakes aud evils of an
appOintige Judiciary; precisely as we,
practically, know nothing of the evils
and hardships of monarehisal form of
government; and, hence, those who talk
of being tired of Republican, form of
government, or declaim in favor Of an
.appointive Judiciary, should think seri-
ously if they mean what they say. The
elected Judges Of this country, in hon.
esty, integrity, learning and ability, GEM
