Since tin* nu-mory of man run m*lh not to the contrary, the lu-nch lias been regarded its tlu* si-at of justice and (lit* ermine tut emblem of tin* purity of ollicial character. Of the true Judge, a eelehraled poet says; “ With an cijual scale He weigh* the oll'ciices between man and man; He is nut smithed with adullatinn, Nut mined w ith tears to rest the course of justice Inin mi unjust current.' to oppress the immeeut : Nor does lie make the laws Punish the man, bm in the man life cause.” A Judge is but a man, and to (ill (lie high and trust with which lie is invested when elevated to the bench, he should Ik*, tis far ns possible, removed troin even necessary participation in any of the questions or a Hairs of tin* people which tend to heat ed discussions, rivalries, jealous ies, envyings, hatreds and combi nations to raise up one and put down another, and voluntary par tieipation in such matters bv a •i ml go should receive as scorching a frown of condemnation from Un people as an Arabian simoon. The dignity and purity of the < Jeorgia bench has been so well sustained (except during the po rind when men were* putinto tiiat high position who were not the choice of the people] that we had hoped it would never become our duty to condemn the course of j one of her sons who wears the ju dicial ermine. It should not he so. Noverthe I less, it is too true that politics is demoralizing in its results, and no Judge while engaged in, or pass 1 ing through, a heated political contest, can mete out even and exact justice to friends and foes alike: When a Judge becomes a candidate fora political otliee, he should resign his judgeship, and let another he appointed, who, wliehhe is upon the bench, will be free from tlie inltuences of the heated political strife. We regret that it is our painful 'duty to condemn the course of | J bilge < jeo N. Lester, the nominee of our party for Congress in the Seventh (Nmgressional district of this State, 'flic campaign in the 'Seventh district is a healed one. II grows more bitter day by day, and the friends of the candidates I are raging like an angry sea. Judge Lester has so lost his pa [ lienee in Ihe heat of the contest as to call his opponent “an ,1111 j mitigated liar.” (bin any one doubt the effect such .a scene [would have Upon tin impartial mind ( A J udge appointed to pro serve the peace seeks to 'provoke a difficulty. Does any one sup pose Unit a Judge who so far loses his temper as to use such lan gunge to Ids opponent,' could, while 011 the bench, so control Ids feelings engendered during the campaign as to do justice It* Ids opjmnenls ( Though then.* is no slant*! tie barring a .judge from active par ticipitlion in politics, still there should he a common law among ! In- people 1 o dleelualiy condemn such a course. Judge Lester is the regular mdiiinated candidate of the democratic parly, and few are the instances when the party is justified in not. supporting its nominee, but this is an instance where the party would lose more by tin! success of its nominee than by bis defeat, for establish ; ing such a precedent would he j certain to react to the detriment of the.party in the future. Let it he said to the honor of t Georgia, we do not believe there is another Judge in the State who would have an eye so single to 1 his private gain as to hold to his j judgeship with one hand while j grasping for congressional honors with the oilier. I Wo think it i- (lit! duty of the democratic press of t In; State, and indeed that of every true demo oral, to condemn the course of •Judge Lester in not resigning Ids office of .Judge when he accepted the nomination for Congress. lie cannot point to his tinsolic ited and unanimous nomination tis an evidence that lie was not actuated Ly selfish motives in at; eejilingthe call of his parly, for, if patriotic, lit' would have felt . equally called upon to obey the wishes of the party tosuhniit Ids I resignation as Judge, since he cannot tail to see that the inter ests ot his parly would have siif fcred less had lie declined to ac cept its call, than to enter the political arena in his .judicial robes. For it is a matter which ailedm not only tlu- people of the Seventh district, hut the entire democratic party of tlie Slate,ami a failure ta condemn his course will be construed as an approval of it. We have no reason to believe that judge Lester would not make an able and faithful re prose 11 ta live iu congress, if elected, hut no matter what may be bis abili ty, character and qualifications, the democratic party should not tolerate the course of the J*l ge in dragging tin- ermine through the slough of politics, and llu people of the -Seventh district should so effectually condemn such a course as forever to pro elude its repetition. Let not our brethren of the Seventh district, in their love and admiration of their leader, and their personal affection for him, forget the sacred duly of a Judge and t||e fearful consequences of such ii precedent. yo.N I'uniUG More About Rotation. We find the following sensible suggestions from a correspondent l ot tin- Savannah .VV/ca, and com 'mend them to the consideration ot those who are in favor of “ro !alion” in otliee : “A representative, if he is fully qualilied for the place, will feel j that his services are due not to I any particular locality alone, hut ilollie whole (listrict —to nothing ! less than the St site, in fact. A [gain, let us eschew the mischiev ous principle of ‘rot at ion in otliee" which, however convenient for hungry politicians, if rigidly car ried out, robs the Stale of faith fill and competent, officials. In law, in medicine, in farming, and in every other pursuit, or calling, experience is reckoned a reeum meiidatiou. Why should it he an I objection in the science of poli [tics (in the strict sense of the 1 wont), which is, perhaps, t he most I difficult, ot all liu- sciences, and I among tlx- most important '( WIIO ■are the men whose career lias Ished most lustre to Georgia ’( Are they not men who have been kept long enough in office to ac quire experience ?

I— * Frhtu the Aatjusht Eeenimi Xrtrs, Jeffersonian Democracy. ! lam often asked why we would j take this name instead of the plain “ Democrat ie party.” The reason is this: The first and j strongest of onr parties was Ihc Federal. Its excesses, especially it ie Alien and Si dilion Laws, f the elder Adams, brought into power the Democratic Kt-piihli can, under Mr. Jefferson. To break this down, the Federals, lv political strategy, introduced a hone of contention, which divided this into Union and States Rights both lfeinoer.il ic Republican in principle. With one of these tin' Kedcrals united, and formed the Whig party, its adverse taking the name of the Democratic par tv. Moth, 1 say. eonliidenl ly, were devoted to a constitutional 1 iiion, till the extremes, .North and South, forced upon us the Abolition question, on one side, and produced the ‘‘Acts ofSeces sion” on the other. I know that Lee, Johnson, Ricketts, Hampton, Rives, the Cobbs, Stephens, and a host of others, went into seces sion unwillingly, but with the in tention of seeking a renewal of the Union, when the reserved rights of the States to manage their own aiTairs could be scour ed. They simply intended “to break a badly set bone to reset it more effectively.” In this they were supported, oral least justi fied, by numbers of the best men of the North. But extremes pro vailed; the South was crushed and subjugated—literally put uu der the yoke and driven by the minions of Republican tyrranuy. Against this the honest patriotic good sense of the North revolted, and the growth of Cavarism, with the conduct of the carpet-baggeis operating on the freodnieu, soon *", ——— —— 11 tm lightened them ivitb regard to the true si ah* and tendency of things, that the ‘-Republicans ' tailed to elect their although he pledged himself sE ca4>'y Oill the (mo'spirit <*f Jtfl| Constitution.
