tages to be derived from it should be very clear
and conclusive to recommend its adoption.
The present system, which, it would sub
\ert, has been productive of no consequences
anti-democratic, in the literal meaning of that
term. It has not encroached upon popular
rights. It has not operated as an antagonist
principle to free government, or to elevate a
class of officers above responsibility for their
acts, nor caused the people to feel that those
officers are beyond the reach of the popular
voice, alike of censure and punishment,
of praise and reward. On the contrary, the
people are satisfied with the system as it is,
and a change is not called for by any exigency.
The Legislature has always been, under our
universal suffrage system, almost as complete
an embodiment of the great popular will as
can be devised, short of a direct vote on eac h
isolated question. Elections by that body with
only occasional exceptions, approach very near
to a direct expression of the popular will.
Elections of Judges directly by the people,
and more especially by the people over whom
each Judge is to preside, would conflict with
the following propositions to which we think
most reasonable minds will subscribe:
Ist. A Judge should be independent in order
to be impartial. If his immediate constituents
were the people he presides over he could not
discharge his functions so as always to please
them, without often being unjust and unscru
pulous.
2nd. He should be exposed to no tempta
tion to intrigue and electioneer to maintain his
position, to the neglect of his duties, or the
abuse of his powers.
3rd. His office should not be a prize for the
arts of the demagouge, of corrupt combina
tions, and of local interests and cliques.
4th. The constituency to whom he should
be immediately amenable, should represent a
large basis of interests, and stand aloof from
local and sectional influences.
sth. A Judge should be in a position to act
contrary to the popular will when his judg
ment and conscience so prompted him, and his
tenure of office should be such as to enable
his judgment and conscience to act free from
the bias which the appxehension of a loss of
office will exercise.
These propositions, it is true, do not repre
sent human nature as immaculate. But it
would be rank Quixotism to legislate on the
principle that Judges are, ex-officio, inflexibly
pure and just, and that the people never err in
the perception of right, or arc swayed by pas
sion to desire injustice, or are pandered to by
the corrupt to accomplish corrupt schemes.
To believe in the perfectibility of human
nature may not be very unreasonable. It is
at least, a harmless species of enthusiasm.
But to legislate now on the presumption that
it is perfect, in intellect, in attainment and
in morality, is quite Utopian.
The opinion that the popular voice, directly
exercised, would always call to office the best
qualifications, intellectual and moral —would
always be exercised with a sole view to pub
lic good, is not tenable. If it were, the tenure
of no office could be too short —the expression
of the popular will on all questions could not
be too frequent at the ballot box—the fre
quent recurrence of elections could never be
productive of evil upon the morals, the tastes
or the passions of the people. Yet the fickle
ness of popular opinion has become a proverb.
Stability has only been inculcated upon it by
the device of giving to office a fixed tenure, de
finite as to time, and, during it, beyond the
reach of its capricious breath. A further de
vice of placing high and responsible offices
beyond the reach of such shifting influences,
has been to give the disposal of them to that
comparatively grave and reflecting body, the
representatives of the people, in General As
sembly met. It was a wise device. Its wis
dom has not been disproved by experience.
Our remarks have been chiefly devoted to
the election of Judges. Some of the reason
ings will have an equal application to each of
the other offices in question. To all of these
offices the remark will apply, that the moment
they are placed directly in the gift of the peo
ple, a temptation is held out to each incumbent
to use his position for the purpose of promoting
his re-election. lie would in a greater or less
degree neglect his duties, and misuse his pow
er, and appropriate his time to acquire popular
ity and v tes. Ills chances for re-election
would too often increase in exact proportion to
the decrease of his just claims. lie who would
hold most entirely aloof from all electioneer
ing schemes, though probably the most worthy,
would prove the least known, or the least ac
ceptable.
Steamboat Disaster-
We regret to learn, says the Victoria (Texas)
Advocate of the 4th inst., that on Sunday last,
as the steamship Beaufort District was attemp
ting to come over the bar at Pass Cavallo, she
ran on a reef, and at the last accounts, her
passengers were ashore, and she was throwing
her cargo overboard to save the vessel, which
will probably be a total loss.

Theatre-
We would do injustice to a capital actor,
j and, in some degree, to our own feelings, did
' we permit the Benefit of Mr. Crisp, advertised
for this evening, to take place without a pass
ing remark. He has labored diligently in his
vocation, and acceptably to the public, and we
would be ungrateful for the many pleasant
hours he has beguiled by his efforts, to omit
the customary notice on this, to him, interest
ing occasion. The talents of Mr. Crisp, in his
profession, have received the seal of approba
tion of the most enlightened communities
; both in Europe and America; and in this city,
we know of no performer, however elevated
i his abilities, who in so short a space has be
j come so decided a favorite. We might here
| very well leave Mr. C. in the hands of his
friends, but we must add a word or two on
the entertainment offered by him.
“ Good wine needs no bush,” and the pie
ces prepared for the occasion speak for them
selves. We must say, however, that the se
lection is eminently happy and admirably cal
! culated to display the talents of the performer
as well as to interest and amuse the auditor.
It is well seasoned at least with the “ spice of
life,” variety, in what it has not been, and is
| likely to be, exceeded. In the first piece
! we are gratified to perceive that Miss Ellis,
i than whom no actress ever on our boards has
been more admired, offers her valuable aid.
i No one who has witnessed the personation
of that most amusing and impudent of genteel
vagabonds, Jeremy Diddler,by Crisp, but will
be glad to renew his acquaintance, and the
popularity of Robert Macaire is proved by its
numerous repetitions wherever known—albeit
a novelty here. In addition, all our old favo
rites appear to give eclat to the occasion, and
we have no doubt that the evening’s entertain
ments will be considered a bright spot in
the memory of every patron of the Drama.
The Washington Union says—“We under
stand, from the best authority, that the Trea
sury Notes of the United States are 8 percent
advance in the city of Mexico. This state of
things is most fortunately calculated to bene
fit our schemes of finance. It will contribute
to enable us to pay our expenses in that coun
try upon more advantageous terms.
Dr- Hitchcock-
The Baltimore Argus of the 16th inst.. puts

I he is fast recovering from a severe attack of
yellow fever.
Collision-
The N. O. Delta of the 13th inst says.—
About 1 o’clock, on the morning of the 11th
inst., the steamship Fanny, Captain Scott,
going down the river, came in contact with the
steamer E. A. Ogden, Capt. Templeton, from
New’ Iberia, coming up, in which collision the
steamship Fanny was considerably damaged
in the hull. The Ogden was slightly damaged
in her bulwarks. The Fanny sunk in about
seven feet w r ater on a bar five miles below
Poverty Point, where she run was after receiv
ing the damage.
| There were fifty-four arrivals at New’ Or
| leans on the 13th inst., viz: 1 steamship, 22
j ships, 7 barks, 4 brigs, 2 schooners, 7 steam
i boats and 11 towboats.

DR. CHRISTIE’S GALVANISM.
G1 ALVANISM is supposed to be identical with
r Electricity and Magnetism, and these won
drous agents have long been known to possess great
j efficacy- in the cure of some very painful and itedi
-1 ous diseases. These benefits, how-ever, have been
greatly- lessened by a want of means for their pro-
I per application. This has been entirely- and suc
cessfully remedied bv Dr. CHRISTIE’S GAL
j VANIC RINGS, BELTS, BRACELETS, and
, other articles, w-hich are adapted to any- part of the
system with perfect safety and certainty of bene
ficial effect. In all Nerrotis Complaints, or those
which are caused by* any derangement of the Ner
vous System, such as Paralysis, Tic Dolor eater,
Bronchitis. Neuralgia, Chronic Rheumatism, Epi
leptic Fits , Tar mars, Dyspepsia, & c.. the effect of
DR. CHRISTIE’S Galvanic articles is truly won
derful ; the most perfect cures being often made
when ail hope had gone, and physic and the phy
sician had equally failed. Pamphlets with full
descriptions and the most respectable testimonials
may be had gratis of the authorized Agent, or they
will be sent by mail.
[Uf’t'AUTioj.'.—The great celebrity and success
} of Dr. Christie's Galvanic and Magnetic Curatives,
has caused them to be counterfeited by unprinci
pled persons. To protect the public against de
| ception there is but ONE AUTHORIZED
i AGENT appointed in each town or city, from
whom alone the Gknuine articles can be procur
