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. RICiJARD H. CLARK. To Messrs. W. A. Hawkins, Wm. M. Slaughter, Stephen V. Gay, Commitee. GEORGIA LEGIILArtBE. SENATE Monday Morning, Dec. 6 1858. The Senate met at the usual hour and after the call of the roll and the reading of the Journal Mr. Paine of Telfair moved to reconsider so much of the Journal of yesterday as refers to the loss of a bill to repeal all laws allowing the collection of certain debts.

The rules were suspended on motion of Colquitt ofMuseogee for the purpose of taking up a bill to to alter the municipal regulations of the city of Co lumbus. The hill was taken up and after being amended was passed and immediately transmitted to the House. The rules were then suspended to take up the General appropriation bill. The bill was taken up and read 1st time. Penitentiary. The unfinished business of Saturday, the con- sideiation of the bill to remove the Penitentiary was resumed. The chair announced that Briscoe of Baldwin was entitled to the floor. QThe most of the morning was spent in the dis cussion of this hill. The ) eas and nays were then called for, by Mr. Briscoe of Baldwin. Y'eas 41, nays G8—so the bill was lost. Bank Bill. The bill to compel the Banks to make their re turns. A great manv_ amend merits were offered. Pending tin* action on the differentamendments, the Senate adjourned until 3 o’clock, P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Senate met pursuant to adj urnment, and resumed the business of the morning. The question was oh the adoption of the substi tute offered by the Committee on Banks Mr. Atkinson of Camden obtained the floor. He answered the Senator from Scriveu in a beautiful manner.

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. fy RT.ANKS of the forms generally used , bj county officers, Ac. For sale at this office
