results, whenever and wherever the Judiciary |
Ims been dragged into the arena of Politics.— j
England, on three occasions, has been cursed
with a political Judiciary ; Poor Ireland, the
land of patriotism and eloquence, is now wading
through the coercive rule of a Political Judicia
ry. France has drawn from that fountain its
hitter waters on thirteen different occasions,
and up to this hour, its Judiciary sy tern is a
mockery and a curse. Rome, once the metro
polis of the world, paid tribute in blood through
several centuries for tier Political Judiciary.—
Almost every State of which wo have historical
record furnishes damning proofs against a Po
litical Judiciary.
It is natural for men to incline towards those
with whom they ngtee either in politics or re
ligion in almost every controversy. It is still
more natural for men to incline towards those
to whom they are indebted for position and
honorable power. And it must be a master
mind, encircled with a moral power far be
yond that with which most men are endowed,
capable of rising above both the natural incli
nations of friendship, and the prejudices of Par
ty We know how stubborn these prejudi
ces are: how implacable these hatreds become
The constant irritation but adds to them, and
the abrasion of time removes but little, if any. |
of the cankering rusts which grow but to ex
tend deeper their poison. Shall we then, look
ing at tliis question, not as one narrowed ;
down within the horizon illumined by mere
party lights, but as one affecting the masses, j
as operating upon humanity, not for the hour, ;
but as reaching into a distant future, bo de
nounced when we say that no human re
straints, howsoever ingenious they may be, can
prevent a Political Judiciary from working
wrong and oppression, when based upon Par
ty success? The ancient maxims of Justice
and Law; the precedents which time, and the
wisdom of the civilized world have stamped as
genuine; and even the statutes of the hour,
wouUrall be warped to meet the demands of
a partisan controversy. Instead of entering ;
the Halls of Equity, the litigants would be j
dragged before a political forum, and instead of
deeistons ot Law, we should have profound :
analysis upon political jurisprudence, and learn
ed opinions upon the rights of majorities syn
thesised. This is inevitable.
Wo shall be told that no Judge could retain
bis seat against the tide of indignation such
conduct would conjure up. Here lies the fa
till error. No Judge would step from the law pre
cedents into the charmed circle of political pre
cedents. He but inclines at first in that direc
tion. Every man of reading and reflection
knows the rest. The path to a political despot
ism is stepped by inches, and yet there is time
enough in four generations, to reach a maximum
of evil sufficient, which if opened at once, to
arouse a spirit of rebellion. It is the single
drop of water that destroys the stone, so is it,
by steps cautiously made, that the rights of mi
norities as well as the freedom of majorities, are
sapped. Rut the political Judge seeks the ap
plause of party more than the serenity of an
approving conscience. His judicial existence
hangs upon the caprice of party, and he hugs
the syren that showers upon his head honors.
Early is the Deity lie worships, and no incense
is so sweet in his nostiils its the ground-swell
of the multitude.
What il his decisions are not according to
precedents? If statutes have been warped, ami
Equity been smothered? ‘Hie Judge is hut a
man, and he is the organ not of Justice, but of
i’arty. His errors, if errors there be, together
with till his usurpations, belong to party, and
party is responsible for them. He has read the
annals of men to but little purpose, who has
(ailed to learn that unbridled power is fatal to
its possessors, and that least of all is it tolerable
where the responsibility, the whole check upon its
excess, is destroyed by the number among whom !
it is divided. The judge is but the exponent of !
I’arty, and his sins, if he sins in the direction of !
party interests, are the common property of par
ty and are divided among the many. Every
little whelp of Party, feels both honored and
dignified by being permitted to become the de
fender of the dirty acts of party.
Associated numbers may do with impunity that
which would sink the individual in the depths so
deep that the hand of resurrection would never
reach him. Whatever is done in the name of,
and for party, and is adopted by party, is a
simple division among numbers, of the labor of
the individual; and if the labor is but the propaga- j
tion of evil, the individual is but the recipient of
partisan gratitude and adulation just in propor
tion as he may have been abused and traduced
by the opposition. Is this Natural History, or
the ravings of a disordered fancy ?
There is no great national railway to freedom
any more than there is to Paradise. It is by
patient exertion and progressive additions to
their influence, that freedom is acquired bv a
people. Rational freedom is not the growth of
a day ; its growth is as slow as wealty from in
dividual toil, and its preservation is dependent
on the establishment of sound habits, modera
tion and a pacific life. Rational freedom is but
the expansion of individual happiness, under
authority recognizing equality of rights. When
ever, then, with its poisonous breath steps in,
and under the plea of enlarging the sphere of
government, or of wresting any of its depart
ments from their legitimate channel, in order to
throw them upon the mercy of a majority, wise
men will commence preparing for anarchy, and
patriotic and bold ones for rebellion. Tire pow
er thus lodged in the hands of partisans ; the
ambition which it awakens, together with the
prospect it opens to the vision of a thoughtful
head, a bold mind and ready hand, are, of all
things, the most fatal to sober and patient hab
its, tiie true parent of national tranquility.
All men of enlarged minds and clear percep
tions of the history of mankind, who look
deeply and into our Judicial
system, perceive its utility as it now exists, over
that of any other that ever existed of which we
have any record. It is within the State a pop
ular system —that is the Judges are selected by
the people, and here we have a most admirable
cheek upon the innovating spirit directed against
the rights of the masses by Federal authority.—
Within our limits we have a Federal Judge
who is the agent of national power, and above
him are men selected for their profound learn
ing and talents, to watch over the rights of the
States, to enforce national laws, and protect
the citizen in his privileges while sojourning un
der the jurisdiction of State or Territorial au
thority. Those are wise checks—balances as it
were, which, when litigants deem themselves
wronged bv the tribunals, the Judges of which
are selected by the masses, they may appeal
from the decision thus rendered, to the tribu
nal not dependent upon popular favor and pub
lic applause.
Such can iipver be the case under a Party
Judiciary, Thy diffusion of supreme power
among a multitude of hands, augments in a
proportionate degree the selfishness which is
made to bear upon the administration of justice
when sought by the nnn-iiiflgei)tja|, or they
who represent tfie minority, When a multitude
as mere spectators of the administration of Jsu
tice, they are disinclined to see wrong inflicted
or error go unredressed, because others profit
thereby, and they, with their friends, suffer—
But place the spectators as the administrators
of law or power, and you may rely upon their
support, for they are now the party who profit,
while the other suffers. This is what will result
from a Political Judiciary, and it is from a parti
san administration of the laws of the land, that
ever y true lover of rational freedom should fly ;
‘•very lover of our Republican institutions should
protyst against; every honest Democrat should
denounce.
Let the Judiciary alone. If the People are
{rust-worthy they will right the errors, and cor
j rect the usurpations of the Judges. If the Whigs
j do make Judicial elections an issue, it may be
in this Instance good for the public interests, and
it may be tiiat the tranquility of the State is
preserved by this means. It needs some checks
to repress the leveling spirit that is abroad, and
it may be that Whig Judges are raised up
among us by the great Designer of events, for
the purpose of strangling lawless party projects,
as well as to curb the ardent ambition of an I
overwhelming majority. Tims, bv means at j
once fatal to that cankering lust of power, our
affairs are tempered, for wise ends we believe,
through the evils of men’s passions. And in
view of this, reiving upon the sound sense of the
masses, —the People—and we embrace all men
we do hope to see the noisy and thoughtless
men of both the great parties silenced, and their
wild, Jacobinical projects scorned. We wish
never to seen Fouquier Tinville upon our Judi
cial bench, and yet under the direction of party,
wliat warrant of exemption have we against
such an event. But draw the Judiciary into
the political arena, and you have taken the first
step in the direction of more evils than our poor
pen can describe. You will have put the court
within the circle stepped by personal interests of
every kind and character. Causes involving life
and property, in which wealth and collateral is
sues are appended, will as naturally, in time,
assume the hues of party, as that the heat and
light of the sun causes violets to open in their
season. W e may he told that humanity would
j shrink from scenes like these—that this age is
| too enlightened, and that the power of the Press !
would he turned against them. That has vet
to be tried. While we believe that a majority of
mankind desire nothing so much as good gov
ernment, we may put a reasonable doubt whe
ther a controlling majority of either party, look
so much to an honest and impartial administra
tion of affairs, as to party success. The diver
sity of opinion, the lack of sagacity in some
to comprehend, the want of correct infonna
j tion in others, and a deficient intellect in a few,
] together with the prejudices and errors of all,
| rise up in support of this doubt. Around one or
| (lie other party, this diversified mass hangs, and
in all human probability, their weight turns the
scale in political contests. It is the conserva
tive mass we desire to hold with; that class
who feel the want of good government, who are
interested in the peaceful pursuits of the times,
and who while they may he partisans, are nei
ther favorable to that system which levels up,
nor opposed to that policy which secures tran
quility while iteonimands respect. It is the con
servative man who would select a man oftalents
as a Judge, over a mutton-headed ass, even
though lie were capable of braving Democracy
as lustily as Balaam's beast. There are such
in either party, and upon them we rely for coun
tenance,while we war against the spirit —not of
Innovation nor experiment—but demagogaeism.

[From the Savannah News.]
Ruilroail Junction,
Under this caption the Journal and Messen
ger concludes an article as follows :
“In this connection, we would inquire if noth
ing is to be done to signalize the Completion of
the line of Railway between Savannah and Co
lumbus. The Muscogee and South-Western
Roads will be connected, we understand, by the
Ist of May. Will Savannah go to Columbus,
or Columbus to Savannah, or both come to
fraternize at Macon, or all stay at borne ? We
do not know.”
“We are sure the citizens of Savannah and
Macon will receive more than one shout, if they
will honor ns with a visit on the first of May.—
We beg leave to remind the Mayor of what is
expected of him on the occasion, But if the
mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet
will go to the mountain. A trip to Savannah
would lie exceedingly pleasant at that season of
the year ; and as compromises are the order of
the day, we propose that each city visit the
other by turns, and that the nuptials of the
Chattahoochee and. the sea be celebrated by
.three parties instead of one; What say our
cotemporaries ?—Columbus Times.
We have no objection to the latter sugges
tion, especially as the season entitles us to the
first visit. Lot our upland friends come to see
its t)o w, tpid celebrate with us the nuptials of
the Chattahoochee with the Savannah, and we
will visit them in the sultry months, when it will
be delightful to get away from the boat and the
mosquitoes. We expect to have some of our
Augusta friends here on the first of May, and we
would extremely happy to greet large delega
tions from Macon and Columbus at the same
time. We promise (hem a hearty welcome,
As our cotemporary of the Times has said, in
a recent editorial, that he looks “forward with
pleasure to the time when Brunswick will be
come the rival of Savannah,’’ we would very
much like to have an opportunity to convince
him that though the new seaport may rival us
on paper, neither it nor any other city in the
State can excel us in hospitality.

following item- ;
The arrival of Santa Anna seems lo have exci
ted very little enthusiasm among the Mexicans.—
Many of his immediate adhe-ents, among whom
we notice Sailor Tornel, one of the negotiators of
‘he Tehuantepec treaty, hat left the city of Mexico
for Vera Cruz in order to meet him.
Toe .S'/g/o sivs, with same sinn.fi -ance, in review
of Senor E-cohar's report :
“Instead ol the reproaches which Senor Esco
bar pm in die month of the General, we would
rather have heard his opinion of the plan of Guad

for our institutions, what expansion lie wishes in
the power of the Executive, and inhumation in re

sent themselves to him in reading the history of
the las; revolution. We gladly recognize the great
services of the General, hut he should be the last

Under the title of bagatelle ihe same paper an

Excitement in Mexico —Important News. —
Me gather the following important items, by a
recent arrival from the Plains, from the New
Orleans papers:
Governor Lane of New Mexico has issued a
proclamation claiming the valley of Mecilla,
near El Paso, as a portion of the American ter
ritory.
Col. Bartlett having made a mistake in the
survey, called on Col. Mills to support him in
the claim, who refused to do so.
The Mexican authorities have sent several
hundred soldiers to repel all aggressions. The
most intense excitement prevailed there in con
sequence.
Samuel Perry, ou trial at Wilmington, North
Carolina, for the murder of his wile, has been
found guilty of murder in the first degree.
An American Ship Fired at by a British Han of
War Steamer.
We le.irn from Captain Otis, of tho ship Harriet,
arrived yesterday from Havana, that on his passage
out Imm Savannah to Havana, on the 3ist March,
when about thirty miles to ihe westwaid of the
Double Headed Shot Keys, at seven A. M., he dis
covered a steamer some five or six miles to the lee
ward, and near a hermaphrodite !>rig. The steam
er was running various courses, and finally ran down
to the brig, and stood to the eastward ; she then
changed her course to thesouthwaid, and kept off to
the southward and westward, running on the same
course with the ship, and being some six miles to
the leeward and from six to seven miles astern.--
She then set all sail and put on steam, and gained
on the Harriet. While in chase of the ship, she
fired two guns at her which fell short some two or
three miles. All on board the ship saw them strike
in the water. Captain Oris then hove his ship to
and hauled up his courses, and was boarded by two
officers from her Majesty’s man-of-war steamer De
vastation. They stated that their business was to
ascertain whether Capt. Ot:s was carrying out the
treaty stipulations. Capt. O. replied that his colors
was a sufficient guarantee for him. They then in
sisted on his showing his papers, and after examin
ing the ship and papers, finally left. Captain Otis
first took the steamer to lie a Spanish war vessel
cruising off the Harbor of Havana. -True Delia.

Sea Sickness,Cuts, Burns, Swellings, Old Sores, Mosquito Bites,
Insect Stings, Pains in the Limbs, Chest, Back, &.c. If it does
not give relief, the money will be refunded, all that is asked, is a
trial, and use it according to the directions. This article is an
English remedy, and was used by William the Fourth, King of
England, a,nd certified to by him, as a cure for Rheumatism,
when every thing else recommended by his physicians ha* failed.
Over 10,000.000 of bottles haye been sold in the United States,
without a single failure, and families have stated, that if it was
$lO per bottle, they never would be withqut it, in case of croup,
as it is as certain as it is applied. It cuies toothache in three
minutes ; headache in half an hour, nndpholcra when first taken,
in a few hours, it is perfectly innocent to take internally, and
has the recommendation of many of the most eminent Physicians
in the United States. Price 25 and 50 cents.
IT’ Jr. Tobias has also put up a Liniment for Horses, in pint
bottles, which is warranted--cheaper and better than any other,
for the cure of colic, galls, swellings, old shores, cuts, bruises,
scratches, cracked lieel, &.c. Price 50 cents.
Dr. Tobias could fill a dozen newspapers with the certificates
and letters received, relating to the wonderful cures accomplish
ed by his Liniment, but considers that warranting it, sufficient,
as any person who does not obtain relief, need not pay for it.
There lias been so much worthless medicine sold to the public,
that Dr. Tobias wishes his article to rest ou its own merits—and
if he gives the value of ihe money received, then he asks the
patronage oft he public, not otherwise.
