FOR THE SENTINEL.
THE SUPREME COURT.
NO. 5.
Having pointed out some general advan
tages which would result from the plan of
a Supreme Court which has been submitted,
I proceed to notice those which stand in im
mediate connexion with the details of the
system. And first, of
THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
lie is to be appointed by the Governor.
Because he is the most important officer of
the Court; and it is more probable that lie
will be well chosen by one, than by many.
The Governor, in electing the Chief Justice,
would surely remember, that he was choos
ing an officer, who was to preside long after
his own term pf office would expire—an
officer under whom he himself might have
to practice, and for whose faults he alone
would be responsible. Under all these in
fluences, it would be wonderful if he did not
make a good choice, if not the very best.
But at fifty-eight, the Chief Justice’s term
of office expires ; and then, the Governor
may lose his power of appointment upon
the petition of two-thirds of both branches
of the General Assembly : why not permit
him to appoint at the expiration of the term,
as at the beginning ?
I ansvfer :*“Y!iat if will rarely happen
that the Chief Justice will become incompe
tent to the duties of his office at that age :
and if he be an able officer, he should not
be removed at that period. But whatever
might be his abilities, the Governor would
be almost certain to remove him. The
choice would be before him of reappointing
the incumbent for three years, or of appoint
ing some favorite, for fifteen, twenty or thir
ty years perhaps. In such a posture, it is
easy to foresee how he would act. Re
membering, that before the three years ex
pired, himself might be removed from office,
he would seize the opportunity of promoting
his favorite, before it should be ever lost to
him. On the last night of President Adams’
term of office, he labored until twelve o’-
clock at night, filling up commissions for
officers whom he wished to get in before
he went out. On the other hand, if the
Governor should be moved by sympathy
or friendship to reappoint the Chief Justice,
he would do so, however incompetent that
officer may have become.
But two t!i rds of both branches of the
General Assembly, would readily concur in
a petition to re-appoint a Chief Justice of
distinguished talents and worth ; and it
iould be next to impossible to draw such a
ctitlon from tiie favor or sympathy of so
• rge a body, in behalf of a Judge who was
a.fit f u bin | luce. But if the Governor is
>••11110 f 1 re-;'ipj-ou.t upon the application of
two-thirds of the Legislature, why not give
the re-election to them directly ?
I answer, because this would make it
the duty of them to act in the matter; and
then they might be put to the disagreeable
necessity of voting out the Chief Justice. Il
the Assembly were obliged to pass upon the
merits of the Chief Justice ; great exertions
and strong appeals might be made to them,
which bv possibility might move them to
re-appoint an unfit officer, whereas, il they
were not constrained to act. in one way or
the other, it is not likely that they would
be induced, first to move, and then to move
wrongly. It is almost as true in morals as
in physics, that it is much easier to change
the course of an active body, than it is to
overcome its vis inertia , and give it an
oblique direction too. No gentler way ol
getting rid of a respected but worn out of
ficer, than that of letting him drop silently
down the declivity which was marked out
to him in the beginning as the end of his ca
reer.
The Governor is inhibited from choosing
the Chief Justice from among his relatives
and immediate connexions. This, it may
be said, will, at all times exclude the first
men in the country from the highest seat
on the Bench. Hardly ever. But let it
be admitted : they would not be excluded
from the bench, if foreclosed from its high
est place. The Senate might place them
on a lofty seat, and the House of Represen
tatives might place them in the Court; and
in either event, the country would have the
full benefit of their talents. But it would
be far better to forego the advantages which
might occur, once in a century, from allow
ing the Governor unrestrained power in
choosing the Chief Justice, than to expose
him to the strong temptation of making a
lofty post a money-making or living-making
business, to his kin.
The Chief Justice’s term of office ex
pires at fifty-eight; the shortest period ever
fixed upon, where the term has been mea
sured by the years of the incumbent.
True, because it sometimes happens that
from other causes than age, a judge be
comes unfit for the bench. But let it be re
membered, that under our system, the Chief
Justice docs not necessarily go out of office
at that age. He may be, and doubtless
will be, if he remain worthy, continued
twenty or thirty years longer in office. But
after that age, his elections coinc round so
rapidly, that he may he removed almost
as soon as the first symptoms of decay in
his intellect are discoverable.

3«. Carrel, Editor oi' tUe National.
The lecent letter ofO. P. Q. which con
tained a fine delineation of the character
of Carrel, the distinguished editor of the
Paris National lias owly excited public
curiority in relation to this gifted man—
who, contenting himself with his duties as
an editor, attained greater fame tlran al
most any other man in France. We copy
the following from the New York Ameri
ca#-
In ait France probably, the fatal shot
which laid low, found no acquies
cing, we will not say i*?joiciug, heart, icilh
oul the Palace of the TuiuC i '- PS > Beneath
that royal roof, however, could uJ rever
ing have been removed—might, perhaps,,
have been witnessed the scene of a mon
arch’s satisfaction, at the good tidings of a
welcome death. To the Journalists of Pa
ris— and among those Journalists, to Car
rel, emphatically—belonged the success
of three days which made Louis Philip
King. While his honors were fresh, and
when his gratitude might be profitable,
Louis Phillippe was not insensible of how
much he owed to Carrel. A perfecture
was at his service, but as ‘ the spoils” had
not prompted his perilous daring, he would
not subject his motives even to the suspi- I
cion of having worked for a reward. Ue j
contented himself with his Journal—the !
National—and too soon had cause !
to find that its columns must again, as un- !
der the elder branch of the Bourbons, bear
witness against rnis-government.— Alien
ated more from those who made a mocke
ry of the revolution of July, hv which they
acquired power, Carrel was forced into
the chief of a party opposed to the Crown
—and never did party chief conduct him
self with greater boldness, self oblivion,
and disdain of personal consequences.
llow finely this later trait was illustra
ted, may be remembered by those of
our readers who take note of French af
fairs, when on occasion of a poltical trial
before the House of Peers, Carrel, who
appeared in behaif of the accused, spoke
of the condemnation of Marshal Ney by
the peers as “a judical asassination.” lie
was called to order, from all sides.—No
thing disconcerted, ho exclaimed—“lf
there be any member present who feels
wounded by the expression I have used,
let him summon me to the bar of the House.
1 shall rejoice in the opportunity of be
mg the first thereto proclaim in the ears
of regenerated France that the death of
Marshal Ney was a judicial assassination.”
A deep pause ensued--the cloud was
gathering dark over the head of Car
rcl—when Marshal Excel/nans, himself a
Peer, rose in his place and said, “1 adopt
that sentiment, the death of Marshal Ney
was a judical assassination.”—This inter
vention saved < ariel, who was desired by
the President to proceed in his argument,
and no farther notice was taken of the bold
denunciation Public admiration gave to
this incident an enduring firm, by causin''-
medals to be struck, (on e of them is before
us,) bearing art excellent likeness of Car
rel on one side, and on the reverse, the
noble exclamation above quoted. Repeat
ed prosecutions, fines, imprisonments,
seemed only to give new energy to the
columns of the National, and faster friends
to its editor in chief-—until lie had become
us it were, a power in the State. His
hope was the education of the people, and
diffusing among them cheap and well edi
ted journals. To this end he encouraged,
and from his own savings as an editor lib
erally contributed to, the establishment of
cheap papers in the Departments—and we
lay more stress uqon this fact, from the
circumstance that the duel which termina
ted the life of Carrel has. in one of our ci
ty journals at least, been described as re
sulting from a miserable peemiiarv joaf
ously on the part o! tiie editor of ihe Nn- I
lioual, of the success ol the cheaper p iper i
edited by M. Girardin. —There did not,
and does not, live the man in France less
open to the such a sordid imputation. But
virtue, patriotism, and love o{ the right,
availed not to save their gifted possessoc
from a bloody and too early grave a
grave which a nation, it not its king, weeps
over, and which the lovers of liberty and
constancv to principle, in other lands, udl
unite to deplore. Jn this free country,
especially, the name, the virtues, and the
example of Carrel should be held in endu
ring honor.

From the Annapolis Republican, Oct. 4.
1 The eventful election, which is to decide
I whether the State of Mm yland is to contin
ue in exi sence will have terminated before
this article reaches the public eve. If
through the fight of the Ballot Box, the
voters ot Maryland have chosen a ma
jorityofVan Huron men, designated upon
their ballots as “ Delegates to tho General
Assembly of Maryland,” then will the con
spiracy of the “glorious nineteen have
received the stamp and seal oi confirmation
which will be filial and conclusive. The
General Assembly to which these men will
have been chosen as Delegates will never
attempt to convene —and that which was
the State of Maryland will indeed be in
thirteen weeks from this date in a condition
of open revolution —without a government
and without any plausible appearat.ee of
ever having one except indeed such an one
as shall be dictated by Usurpers, and im
posed upon the Counties by forex of arms,
a process by which the most candid of
revolutionists have already avowed in
conversation, that they would not hesitate
one moment to resort to ifit should become
necessary. We utter this language advi
sedly and fortified by the highest authority.
That very language was used and that
very resort confessed to be in view,in a long
dispassionate coversation which we have
ourselves had with a leading member of
the reform party, fie maintained that the
State was now, in virtue of the non election
of a Senate, without the materials which
were indispensable to constitute the Gov
ernment—he believed the stop irretrieva
ble —and that we were in an actual state
of revolution. A revolution which he ad
mitted made those that engaged in it sub
ject to the penalties of either high treason
or at least of the highest misdemeanors
known to the laws —that of conspiring a
guinst the existence of the Government—
and that all such stood in an attitude which
made it indispensable to their safety that
the revolution should succeed. If it failed
he admitted that it would be inevitable
death or dishonor to them. He recognized
the attitude of the parties, 1 mean the one
party opposed to the government and for
its downfall, and the o'her for sustaining it,
at this moment to be that of actual war
and only “bloodless as yet,” and he a
vowed the expedient of protecting the con
spirators from whatever punishment the
laws would award, by resorting to repri
sals—seizing as many of the constitutional
party and holding them as hostages for the
lives or liberty of whoever might be ar
rested, and thereby, to use liis own lan
guage /‘compel your party 1o recognize
ours as enemies, and entitled as such to
the usages of war, and not as rebels lia
ble if taken to bo hung.”
Great God of mercies? To think that
we are uttering the literal truth in such
language as thus, and that too in relation
to the condition of a State which two weeks
ago was reposing in perfect peace, unsus
pecting the least danger and looking to a
carreer of the brightest prosperity—and
that nineteen faithless agents, entrusted by
the people with the sacred duty of perpet
. gating the government, had seized the
powCt* *-h us k confided to them to subvert
that very £<J v errimerrt, and thus to array
citizen against in all the horrors of
civil war!
From the Sun.
JUDGE WHITE.
A Van Bnren Committee in Tennessee 1
lately put forth an address, which besides ma
ny erroneous and disingenous assertions, such !
as we are accustomed to find even in the best
productions of the “party,” contains the fol
lowing entirely false statement. We give the
very language of the address :
“After waiting until the contest between
Judge White and iYlr Van Buren had estrang- j
ed the former and his friends from their late
associates of the Administration party, and a i
bitterness beyond reconciliation had grown
up, the Wings of the Northwest, by conven
tions at different places, brought out General
Harrison for the Presidency not to supersede
Judge White, but mg connexion with him ;
for in the South, General Harrison was almost
as weak as was Judge White in the North
and North West. Neither, separately, had
the remotest chance of succeeding against
Mr. Van Buren before the people. Each hav
ing strength in certain sections of the country,
it was determined by the opposition, that
General Harrison, Judge White, and Mr.
Webster, should make joint cause, and a com
bined effort against Mr. Van Buren as the
candidate of the Administration party. Mr.
Webster is tc be run in live of the New Eng
land States ; General Harrison in the other
States in the other States North and Nortii
West; aud Judge White in the South; and
neither is to interfere with the other in ins al
lotted divission of the Union.
We are glad to see that our friend of the
Nashville Banner has taken the matter up.
He lias handled it with his usual ability ; and
we cannot do better than copy his remarks :
“A full and satisfactory answer to this state
ment is, that it is not true in point of fact.
So far from Judge White hav.ng had not “the
remotest chance of succeeding against Mr.
Van Buren before the people,” he would have
i beaten him with ease, had General Jackson
I field “hands off.” It was ptecisely because
Judge White had the strength to beat Mr.
Van Buren, botli with the Administration and
opposition parties, that General Jackson’s
influence, like the sword of Brenims, was
tnrown into the scale of the “Spoils” party.
Had there not been imminent danger of Judge
White’s superseding Mr. Van Buren Gen
c.ial Jackson’s interference would never have
been evoked. He would not thus have peril
ed bis reputation for principle and consistency,
had not the emergency of tho ease, appeared
to him of su.indent magnitude to call tor his
intervention. Judge White was running as
Mr. Letcher truly described him, in sporting
phrase, with “head and tail up.” The Ten
nessee thorough bred, with gigantic strides was
passing the New York pony, when lo and be
hold, Old Truxlon was let loose upon him by
the Northern jockeys for the express purpose
of impeding his further progress. And having
by ‘foul play,’ succeeded in rendering the race
doubtful, these jockeys have the impudence to
urge the existence of the doubt as a reason
why the Tennessee horse should be with
drawn ! That is not the way we do tilings in
Tennessee.
To drop the figure. Suppose flic fact to be
so, that the influence of General Jackson’s
name, and the power and patronage of the
Government had cut down Judge White’s
strength to two or three (States, suppose that
the denunciations of General Jackson, and the
tile calumnies of the Globe and its echoes
had ttriuuJv cliccted Judge White's tcpuin.

tion ; suppose that Gen. Jackson and Mr.
Blair had succeeded in causing it to be believ
ed in every State of the Union ; save Tennes
see—that. Judge White was a “red hot fede
ralist,” a “traitor,” a hypocrite, and every 4
tiling base and dishonorable ; would that be a
good and sufficient, reason why Tennessee
should abandon him I why she should affix her
seal ot condemnation upon him ? It seems to
us, that a state of things could not he imagin- - _
ed better calculated to call forth the sympathies
and to rouse the indignation of a great and ; -
generous people, nor more strongly and indis
solubly to bind them to an old and faithful
public servant, than that which we have just
described. * *■
What we have said above, applies equally
well to another paragraph in the address, jj
wherein it is stated that when Judge V hite ■
was first presented as a candidate, his confi
dential friends proclaimed that, the contest *
would be between him and Mr. Van Buren.
And so it would, but for the inteferrence of
General Jackson. General Harrison was
not brought out. for nine months after Judge
White’s nomination—lie was not brought out
until it became apparent that Judge Wlrte
would have to contend not only with Mr.
Van Buren, but with General Jackson ! A- \
ware of their own weakness, the opposition
would have acquiesced in the election of Judge
White, whom they knew to be honest and ca
pable.
lie was preferred by the administration par
ty in Maryland and the whole South.
We ourselves, heard a member of Congress
from Pennsylvania say in 1834, that Judge
White would be preferred by the peopleJLL-V
Ins section of the State, and that they had
some idea of “taking him up and running him
any how.” But since General Jackson came
out against Judge White, this same member
has become a clamorous partizan for Mr.
Van Buren.
During the past summer, a gentleman of the
first respectability and intelligence from Ar
kansas, who is a warm and decided friend
ot Mr. Van Buren, informed us that when
Judge White was first announced as a can
didate, he would have beaten Mr. Van Buren 1
two to one in that State.
In Maine, also, appearances strongly indi
cated that Judge White was the favorite.
With a knowledge, therefore of his superior
strength with the original Jackson party, and
of the willingness of the opposition to acqui
esce in his election as a choice of evils, JiuDe
White’s confidential friends were fully justi
fied in expressing the opinion that the con
test would be between him and Mr. Van Bu
ren. It was not until after the lapse of nine
months, and General Jackson by throwing the
weight of his popularity, and the power
and patronage of the Government into the
scale of Mr. Van Buren had rendered the
election of Judge White doubtful, that the
opposition at last, and with difficulty, settled
down upon a candidate in the person of Gen
eral Harrison. Upon him however they are
far from being united. The Southern portion
of that party generally preferring Judge
White, and a small fragment at the North
still supporting Mr. Webster.
We put it, then to the people of Tennes
see, whether they will for one moment listen
to the objection based upon Judge White’s
want of strength, when this want of strength
if it really exist, has been occasioned not by
a want of merit and popularity on the part of
Judge White, but by the vilest calumny and
detraction—by the gross and unjust denuncia
tions of the President of the United States
ty the whole power and patronage of the Fed
eral Government being brought into- conflict
with the freedom of elections—and at the
expense of the freedom of the ballot box and
the sovereignity of the people ?
But the unprecedented,extraordinary and re
volting means resorted to by the leaders of
the party to prostrate Judge White, afford con
clusive evidence that they are not sincere in
the opinions they express of his want of
strength. Had they considered him an ordi
nary opponent, they would have been satisfied
with ordinary exertions to put him down.
An occasion had arrived when, it was believ
ed, the rule laid down by the Roman Poet,
Nec Deus intersit, nisidignus vmdice n edits incideri.
might be safely applied. The arm of Gener
al Jackson a\onc could arrest the progress of
the Tennessee candidate ; and the fact of its
being up to the present moment, so constant
ly plied in dealing the weightiest blows it
■ could inflict, shows in a language not to be
| misunderstood, what his enemies really think
! of Judge White’s strength and popularity and
1 of his prospects of success.

The editor of the Kittanning Gazette,
a Jackson paper, attended the late conven
in the city of Pittsburgh, as a dele
gate; ."Mid, in his account of his visit, gives
the follow .’‘-g very significant anecdote:
<«The write.', otl his return,came up the
canal on a boat had been chartered
by the Cambria county and
which was decorated with a Hafrison flag.
A little below Freeport, wc met a packet
boat crowded with passengers. As the boats?
approached each other, a gentleman on
board the packet cried out— '■'Three cheers
for Harrison!" which was instantly re
sponded to from both boats with great
enthusiasm; scarcely a man on the crowded
deck of the packet but joined heartily in the
shout. “Its of no use to talk,” said the only
Van Buren man we had aboard, after the
cheering had subsided," the people are all
gointr fur Ilarrson."
Patent Democracy
At the celebration in New York, by the
Young Men’s Convention, of the anniversary of
the battle of Tippecanoe, the following toast
was given:
By the Chairman. — The Editors of the Alba
ny Daily Advertiser and Evening Journal —-
Two sentinels upon the watch-tower of free
dom.
One of the editors (Mr. Van Schaick, of
the Albany Advertiser,) replied in a speech full
of humor and good sense, which was constant
ly interrupted by the cheers aid plaudits of
the audience. His subject was democracy—
the democracy. By Richard M. Johnson, this
democracy was called a “state of nature,” and
by Mr. Van Buren, it was considered the glo
ry of serving under another, greater and better
than himself. By General Jackson, democra
cy meant the purse and the sword; and by
others, instead of turning the sword and the
spear into the ploughshare, and pruning hook,
it meant the reverse:—it was making war in
peace, and peace in war. Such was the de
mocracy of the present Vice President. De
mocracy is practical chris mnity, was the re
mark of Mr. Bancroft, of Mass , and democra
cy is a state of nature, remarks another.
