REPLY.
At Home Dougherty Co., 1
Oct. 23, 1858. f
Gentlemen : Your note of the 12tli inst.,
informing me of my nomination as a can
didate for Judge of the Superior Court of
the South-Western Circuit, is before me.
The nomination is accepted, and if the
people of the circuit shall honor me with an
election, every eiibrt on my part will be
made to make my Judicial administration
equal to all that is anticipated by such an
exhibition of the public confidence. If in
tegrity oi' purpose and energy of action,
such ability_as I may have, can accom
plish a result so desirable, I shall be san
guine of success.
In thus accepting, I deem it proper to
to make a lew observations upon the sub
ject of party nominations for the Judgship,
as it is frequently charged that such are a
reproach to the Judiciary, and that one
opposite in politics ought not to vote for a
nominee, although otherwise unexception
able. I maintain that a Judge is not the
less trust-worthy in every sense of the
term, when promoted at the instance of his
political friends, if they manifest in their
selection a proper regard for the necessary
qualifications. Precedent is uniform in
favor of such a system. The exceptions
are exceedingly rare to the exercise of such
a power in the election of Judges by those
having the majority. And this is true of
both and of all political parties in this Re
publican country. It was never heretofore
suspected that this impaired the integrit}',
capacity or usefulness of the Judge so elec
ted. Before the election was given to the
people, the Legislature of Georgia selected
the Judges from the ranks of that party
which had a majority on joint ballot at the
time of the election. And with few ex
ceptions this was done by means of the cau
cus system, adopted by the dominant party
to prevent the minority from contributing
to the result. This system of electing from
the party in power, whether good or bad,
has given us such Judges as William
H. Crawford, L. Q. C. Lamar, Gamble,
Dougherty, Dawson, Law and Warren
from one side, and Dooly, Colquitt, War
ner, Warren, Iverson, Johnson, and the
Jacksons from the other. Whenever a
different rule prevails it originates in some
necessity not well to be resisted. The
same preference for political friends is
strictly observed, although exercised in a
different manner in the appointment of
Judges of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States. And should the Senate differ
in politics from the President, that body
rarely fails to nlfirm his nomination of his
political friends. At this time, every
Judge upou that bench owes his position
to some President of his political party.—
We have recent examples in the appoint
ment of Judge Curtis by President Pill-
more, and of Judge Campbell by President
Pierce. What the people do through their
servant, the President, by appointment,
and through their servants in the Legisla
ture, by caucus, surely the people them
selves may do by means of their primary
meetings, and their conventions. It does
not follow, that because the Judge selected
is a Democrat or an American, and owes
his promotion to the numerical strength of
his party, he must lose his integrity or
capacity, and violate his most sacred oath.
If my politics could be any obstacle to my
impartial administration of the laws or
would cause me to hold the private rights
of a pblitical opponent less sacred than
those of a friend, 1 would esteem myself
unworthy the support of honorable men,
and would not seek it.
Prom these evidences of precepts and
examples, it cannot justly be considered
disrespectful of the feelings, or regardless
of the interests of the opposition for either
party to make a nomination. And if the
party having the majority in the Circuit
nominate one acceptable as a man, and a
lawyer, the minority may see proper to de
cline to make him a party opposition,
without a sacrifice, either of self-respect or
independence. The Democratic party
have so done in the Chattahoochee Circuit,
in refusing to oppose Judge Worrell, al
though nominated because Ins party was in
the majority, and he was worthy in every
respect. There are members of both politi
cal parties who are opposed to nominations
in the abstract. The policy which governs
such, does not require them to oppose a
candidate simply because lie is nominated.
They only feel themselves exonerated from
supporting a nominee, if he is wanting in
the qualifications necessary for the position
to which he aspires. Otherwise, they vote
for him without regard to the mere manner
of his candidacy. In some instances a
nomination by each political party of a
Circuit, may be actually necessary, to be
certain of securing to the Bench the best
material of each. On the other hand, in
some particular cases, the majority may
vote for and select a candidate who i3 identi
fied withthe minority party of the Cir
cuit, as was done by the Democrats in
electing Judge Fleming of the Eastern
Circuit, and by the Americans in elec
ting Judge Stark oftlie Flint Circuit.
These examples are arguments neither
for or against party nominations, being
exceptions to the general rule, produced
by a peculiar combination of circum
stances seldom existing.
The American party have had party
nominations for the Judgeship in the Ma
con, the Flint, and other Circuits in this
State. At this very moment there is a call
for a Convention in the Flint Circuit where
the American party have the majority to
nominate a candidate for Solicitor Gene
ral.
In this Chcuit I became a candidate for
the judgeship ‘positively, and left the ques.
tiouof nomination or no nomination, to the
independent action of my political friends
without interference on iny part. They
determined upon a Convention, and in
abiding by their action as I did, and would
have done, whether for or against me, I do
not feel that I sacrifice in the least, my in
dependence as a man, and encouraged and
sustained in my candidacy by many
worthy citizens of the opposition both in
and out of the legal profession, whose good
opinion I highly appreciate, and earnestly
desire to retain.
Accept from me my thanks for the com
plimentary manner in which you have con
veyed to me the action of the Convention,
and believe me
Yery truly Yours.

Cruelty killed by kindness.
A young woman in Vermont married a
poor but worthy man, against her father’s
wish. He drove them from bis house and
closed his door and heart agaiSht them.
They came into the vicinity of Boston,
went to work, and prospered. After many
years the father had occasion to go to Bos
ton. He concluded to go and see his
daughter, expecting a cold reception. His
daughter and her husband received him
most kindly and lovingly. After staying
with them a while he went back to Ver
mont. One of his neighbors, hearing where
he had been, asked him how his daughter
and husband had treated him.
“I never was so treated before iu my
life,” said the weeping and broken-hearted
father. “They have broken my heart ~-
they have killed me—I don’t feel as though
I could live under it.” “What did they do
to you?” asked the neighbor. “Did they
abuse you?” “ They loved, me to death,
and killed me with kindnesssaid he. “I
can never forgive myself for treating so
cruelly my own darling daughter, who
loved me so affectionately. I foel as if I
should die when I think how I grieved my
precious child, when I spurned ljer from
my door. Heaven bless them, and forgive
my cruelty and injustice to them.”
Who does not see in this an infallible
cure for difficulties between man and man!
There is not a child or man on earth who
would not feel and say that the daughter,
though so deeply wronged and outraged
by her angery father, did right in treating
him as she did. That father was her
enemy, but she was not his. He hated
her, but she loved him.
