tages to be derived from it should be very clear and conclusive to recommend its adoption. The present system, which, it would sub \ert, has been productive of no consequences anti-democratic, in the literal meaning of that term. It has not encroached upon popular rights. It has not operated as an antagonist principle to free government, or to elevate a class of officers above responsibility for their acts, nor caused the people to feel that those officers are beyond the reach of the popular voice, alike of censure and punishment, of praise and reward. On the contrary, the people are satisfied with the system as it is, and a change is not called for by any exigency. The Legislature has always been, under our universal suffrage system, almost as complete an embodiment of the great popular will as can be devised, short of a direct vote on eac h isolated question. Elections by that body with only occasional exceptions, approach very near to a direct expression of the popular will. Elections of Judges directly by the people, and more especially by the people over whom each Judge is to preside, would conflict with the following propositions to which we think most reasonable minds will subscribe: Ist. A Judge should be independent in order to be impartial. If his immediate constituents were the people he presides over he could not discharge his functions so as always to please them, without often being unjust and unscru pulous. 2nd. He should be exposed to no tempta tion to intrigue and electioneer to maintain his position, to the neglect of his duties, or the abuse of his powers. 3rd. His office should not be a prize for the arts of the demagouge, of corrupt combina tions, and of local interests and cliques. 4th. The constituency to whom he should be immediately amenable, should represent a large basis of interests, and stand aloof from local and sectional influences. sth. A Judge should be in a position to act contrary to the popular will when his judg ment and conscience so prompted him, and his tenure of office should be such as to enable his judgment and conscience to act free from the bias which the appxehension of a loss of office will exercise. These propositions, it is true, do not repre sent human nature as immaculate. But it would be rank Quixotism to legislate on the principle that Judges are, ex-officio, inflexibly pure and just, and that the people never err in the perception of right, or arc swayed by pas sion to desire injustice, or are pandered to by the corrupt to accomplish corrupt schemes. To believe in the perfectibility of human nature may not be very unreasonable. It is at least, a harmless species of enthusiasm. But to legislate now on the presumption that it is perfect, in intellect, in attainment and in morality, is quite Utopian. The opinion that the popular voice, directly exercised, would always call to office the best qualifications, intellectual and moral —would always be exercised with a sole view to pub lic good, is not tenable. If it were, the tenure of no office could be too short —the expression of the popular will on all questions could not be too frequent at the ballot box—the fre quent recurrence of elections could never be productive of evil upon the morals, the tastes or the passions of the people. Yet the fickle ness of popular opinion has become a proverb. Stability has only been inculcated upon it by the device of giving to office a fixed tenure, de finite as to time, and, during it, beyond the reach of its capricious breath. A further de vice of placing high and responsible offices beyond the reach of such shifting influences, has been to give the disposal of them to that comparatively grave and reflecting body, the representatives of the people, in General As sembly met. It was a wise device. Its wis dom has not been disproved by experience. Our remarks have been chiefly devoted to the election of Judges. Some of the reason ings will have an equal application to each of the other offices in question. To all of these offices the remark will apply, that the moment they are placed directly in the gift of the peo ple, a temptation is held out to each incumbent to use his position for the purpose of promoting his re-election. lie would in a greater or less degree neglect his duties, and misuse his pow er, and appropriate his time to acquire popular ity and v tes. Ills chances for re-election would too often increase in exact proportion to the decrease of his just claims. lie who would hold most entirely aloof from all electioneer ing schemes, though probably the most worthy, would prove the least known, or the least ac ceptable. Steamboat Disaster- We regret to learn, says the Victoria (Texas) Advocate of the 4th inst., that on Sunday last, as the steamship Beaufort District was attemp ting to come over the bar at Pass Cavallo, she ran on a reef, and at the last accounts, her passengers were ashore, and she was throwing her cargo overboard to save the vessel, which will probably be a total loss.

Theatre- We would do injustice to a capital actor, j and, in some degree, to our own feelings, did ' we permit the Benefit of Mr. Crisp, advertised for this evening, to take place without a pass ing remark. He has labored diligently in his vocation, and acceptably to the public, and we would be ungrateful for the many pleasant hours he has beguiled by his efforts, to omit the customary notice on this, to him, interest ing occasion. The talents of Mr. Crisp, in his profession, have received the seal of approba tion of the most enlightened communities ; both in Europe and America; and in this city, we know of no performer, however elevated i his abilities, who in so short a space has be j come so decided a favorite. We might here | very well leave Mr. C. in the hands of his friends, but we must add a word or two on the entertainment offered by him. “ Good wine needs no bush,” and the pie ces prepared for the occasion speak for them selves. We must say, however, that the se lection is eminently happy and admirably cal ! culated to display the talents of the performer as well as to interest and amuse the auditor. It is well seasoned at least with the “ spice of life,” variety, in what it has not been, and is | likely to be, exceeded. In the first piece ! we are gratified to perceive that Miss Ellis, i than whom no actress ever on our boards has been more admired, offers her valuable aid. i No one who has witnessed the personation of that most amusing and impudent of genteel vagabonds, Jeremy Diddler,by Crisp, but will be glad to renew his acquaintance, and the popularity of Robert Macaire is proved by its numerous repetitions wherever known—albeit a novelty here. In addition, all our old favo rites appear to give eclat to the occasion, and we have no doubt that the evening’s entertain ments will be considered a bright spot in the memory of every patron of the Drama. The Washington Union says—“We under stand, from the best authority, that the Trea sury Notes of the United States are 8 percent advance in the city of Mexico. This state of things is most fortunately calculated to bene fit our schemes of finance. It will contribute to enable us to pay our expenses in that coun try upon more advantageous terms. Dr- Hitchcock- The Baltimore Argus of the 16th inst.. puts to rest the report as to the death of Dr. Hitch cock, by giving an extract of a letter from him, at Vera Cruz, Oct. 19, in which he says I he is fast recovering from a severe attack of yellow fever. Collision- The N. O. Delta of the 13th inst says.— About 1 o’clock, on the morning of the 11th inst., the steamship Fanny, Captain Scott, going down the river, came in contact with the steamer E. A. Ogden, Capt. Templeton, from New’ Iberia, coming up, in which collision the steamship Fanny was considerably damaged in the hull. The Ogden was slightly damaged in her bulwarks. The Fanny sunk in about seven feet w r ater on a bar five miles below Poverty Point, where she run was after receiv ing the damage. | There were fifty-four arrivals at New’ Or | leans on the 13th inst., viz: 1 steamship, 22 j ships, 7 barks, 4 brigs, 2 schooners, 7 steam i boats and 11 towboats.
