WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS. “ AmaHcuM” Billag America Most of oar readers hare heard of the re cent riatafry of the v Know Nothings in the Municipal dectiunin Washington pity, but very few, we suspect, are aware of the mo dus operemdi in which the nohievment was effected. This triumphant affair is an apt illustration of the way this pure and saint ly organisation is accomplishing the objeot* its formation, one of the principal of which overy body has been told, was to put down political wire pullers and demagogues—to protect the elective franchise— to secure the purity of the ballot box. This is the party that was to sift the wheat from the chaff— to concentrate all the purity within itself, and put an end to political corruption all over the country. What a pretty reforma tion we shall have, to be sure, in our Repub liean Government, when the Know Nothing purifiers are in the asoendant and bars a chance to protect the ballotboxevery where as they did in Washington. But here is an account of the way the thing was done, as shown by the Washington correspondent of the Boston Post: “Before this I suppose the telegraph has informed you of the partial victory which the Know Nothings gained at the munici pal election here yesterday. But the tele graph will not inform you of the .stupen dous frauds and downright villainy by which that result was brought about. “In the first place the judges of the elec tion were all of one pariy—Know Noth ings. Having understood that their crafty operations were to be inspected, they on Saturday last, caused a strong and high fence to'be built, te keep off all observers.— Thev refused to receive votes from legally qualified voters, who carried Union or anti- Know Nothing tickets, as can be proved in several instances: and they received illegal Know Nothing votes. Indeed, rowdies were heard last evening boasting of having voted in three or four different wards.— Another thing they did was to protract and obstruct the voting, so that a great many voters after standing in the crowd for two hours, were prevented from voting by the closing of the polls. So great and apparent were the frauds that the election will doubt less bo cesefully contested. The voters had to stand out of doors and wait two or three hours before their chance came. A lot of Know Nothings, as a seberuo to tire out and defeat their opponents, continued to stand in the file after Laving voted, and when they saw a Know Nothing friend, would step out and give him his place. Sometimes they would sell out their posi tion for fifty cents, and then join in at the foot and press up again. But these things, though shameful, are not so disgraceful to the howling, the [Correipondence of the Atlanta Hally Intelllgvncer. J Hew York Affairs. New Tonic. June $,1856. The event of the week is the “Baby Show of Barnum,” Prince of Humbugs.— It has been ridiculed in all quarters since he first proposed it until I thought few would care to visit it. Look at the figures. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the three first days of the exhibition, 40,000 tickets were sold. The indications to-day are of another 10,000 at least, being 50,000 admissions upon tickets at 25 cents each, whioh gives $12,500 as the proceeds. This is a lower estimate than the Treasurer of the Museum himself makes. Add to this the extra shilling per head charged for ad mission to the lecture room, where the “ moral drama,” Councilman Wild & Mrs. Fowler, are exhibited, and supposing one- half the visitors witnessed them, the amount is increased by 3,000 and we have fifteen and a half thousand dollars as the gross re ceipts. As a pecuniary enterprise this will evidently pay, and is worthy the teeming brain of tLo projector; but to a refined and sensitive nature the exhibition of these in fantine prodigies is most disgusting. Im agine an immense building redolent of the rhinoceros and giraffe packed to its full ca pacity with a sweltering crowd of men, women and children. Brazen faced ladies in rouge and feathers, from Leonard and Mercer streets, elbow female innocents from the country. Honest country farmers, to the loss perhaps of the family watch or the well lined wallet, jostle against pickpockets and fanoy men. Misses and maidens, while their spectacled mammas are looking after the “ triplets,” are put to the blush by the bold gaze of lecherous roues, and compelled to hoar the coarse random remarks suggest ed by the occasion. Conspicuously elevated on raised platforms, running lengthwise through the middle of the largest halls, are model babies, in most cases in the arms of their mothers, babelod and gaily dressed.— Some of the more remarkable specimens occupy the cases erewhilo filled by waxen images of Daniel Lamltert, Jocye Ileath, the Czar Nicholas and the Chinese Mandarines. Hard by the Maine Giantess and the hairy Swiss Child display their rival attractions. The greater number of the babies are infe rior to what one sees every day in the bouses of his acquaintances, and we can see from the scornful lip of each lady visitor that she imagiues she has done or can do better. Let us, at the risk of our heaver and coat skirts push our way to the front of this platform. Here is a fatty deposit, with (communicated ] * Democratic Sleeting In Pickens. On the first Tuesday in June, a very large and respectable portion of the Demo cratic party, met at Jasper. On motion, John Holcombe Esq., was called to the chair, and Allison Mull&n ap pointed Secretary, when W. T. Day E-q., being called on, explained the objects of the meeting. On motion of G. W. Ilariuon, Esq., a committee of five was appointed- .to preparo business for the meeting, consisting of the following gentlemen, to wit:—G. W. Harmon, Win. T. Day, Win. II. Gordon, Jeremiah Lambert, and Isaac Lindsay. The committee immediately withdrew to an adjoining room for consultation. In the meantime the meeting was addressed by Col. L. J. Aired, who made a very appro priate and forcible speech, showing that it behooved the Democracy to prepare for the coming elections—to stand by their principles, and defend them against the combined attacks of the various amalgama ted factions and isms of the day. While he was speaking the committee on bnsinc?s re turned ; he suspended his remarks, and they made the following report. The com mittee appointed by the chair to prepare business for the action of this meeting, beg leave to offer the following resolutions, and recommend their adoption. 1st. Resolved, That the Democratic party of Pickens county, are gratified to learn that Col. Joseph E. Brown has consented to become a candidate forjudge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, and while we know hiui to be always true to his political faith as a consistent Democrat, an able and efficient lawyer, and an honest upright man, we also recognize in him those active business qual ifications and that decision and energy of character which peculiarly qualify him for the Bench, and that the Democracy of this county, and in our opinion a large majority of the people without distinction of party, will give him a uuited cordial and hearty support. 2d. Resolved, That the people of this county still remember, and will not forget on the day of election, the active and ener- Polttical Equality InYDarkcr, The evils of war are sonietppes attended with important cooipensationfF? The allies on ouetside, and thiie Russiana'km the oth er ar^ cutting eac&cthera f iroats with ter rible carnage, liecaose their sovereigns have quarrelled; but in the meat time the Cbris- lian and Jewish subjects of the Porto are raised by the very effect of the war from the inferior condition in which they have hitherto been heid. By a recent ordinance of the Sultan, nei ther Christian, Jew, Druze or follower of any other.worship pays the tribute which has hitherto been the bodge, of thieir sub jection. The new measure and its effect are explained in a letter from our Constan tinople correspondent, which wo give in this sheet. Hitherto the military profes sion has been closed against them: none but a follower of the prophet being al lowed to bear arms cither in offensive or tjefensive war. They are now emancipa ted, after having worn this badge of de gradation for centuries, and the sword is put in their hands. The last important civil distinction between the believers in the Koran and the follewers of other reli gions in Turkey is thus removed. Thus it is that even the crimes and fol lies of men, overruled by a supreme wis dom, help forward the cause of justice, liberty and political truth. But for the war in the East, but for the danger which menaces the Turkish empire, many years might have elapsed before the government of that country would have been moved to declare the political equality of all its subjects, whatever might have been their religion. Under the pressure created by the war, Turkey has taken a great.stride in civilization and good government.— While here, in a free country, many arc renouncing the doctrine of religious toler ation, it is some consolation that in aland hitherto deemed almost barbarous, and gov erned by an absolute master, the men in power are learning the wisdom which so many among us are making haste to for get. The Turkish government must necessa rily be the stronger for this liberal meas ure. One great cause of discontent, exist- ; ing among nearly half of the subjects of j the rultan, is removed. The reputation of j equity and justice always increases the re- ' spcct in which a government is held, and 1 adds to its moral force—its power over the ! mind. By the measure just adopted it is ! hardly too much to say that fifteen mil lions of subjects—a vast population—are vir- T : J UNN 44. FOB OOYBBHOF, HERSCHEL Y. JOHNSON, OF BAJJ)'* IX.

Circuit Court, at New York, on Tues day morning, called the especial attention of the Grand Jury to the African Slave Trade, which his honor says he has every reason to believe is extensively carried on by panic, in that city. That is to say, tho funds and vessels are furnished there, and by men. too, (it may be added,) who are fend of occupying a prominent place among the reformers and philanthropists of the day. His Honor urged the Grand Jury to instigate an investigation of tbe most rigid character. Reported Fatal Duel.—Some days since a difficulty occurred at New York, in the Shakupeare Club House, between Mr. Leav enworth and a young lawyer named Breck- enridge. Hard words passed between the C rtics at the time, which resulted in a cbal- ige being sent by the former—who con sidered himself the injured party—to the latter, and they left on Monday, for Canada, with tbeir respective surgeons and seconds. It was reported, on Wednesday, that Leav enworth, the challenger, had been k ; ’od, »nd Breckenridge severely wounded. A latter account says that neither had been killed, butthat Leavenworth was serious ly hurt and Breckenridge slightly. Breoken- ridge is related to the Hon. John C. Breck enridge of Kentucky, who was to have fought but didn’t, a duel with Mr- Cutting, of New York. Leavenworth’s second was Mr. James M. Pendleton ; Breekenridge’s Mr. Middleton. The surgeon’s name is giv en as Dr. Alfred Grimes. Tbe New York Commercial Advertiser, says: If either of the parties dies from wounds received in this dueLthe survivor and both seconds will be deemed guilty of murder, and may be in dicted and convicted of that offence under die Revised Statutes, if tbe wounded man died in tbe State of New York. And if neither is killed, all tbe pardee, principals, seconds and surgeon, may upon conviction he punished by imprisonment in a State jpjsn^ for * torn not exceeding too y®w»« League, the whole squad have been dis charged, on accdhnt of the non-appearance of the accusing party. Such a proceeding bears the look of a mere farce, and the re sult, from whatever oause it arises, cannot fail to exert an evjl influence on the comma nity. Of course, it is possible that there is no infringement of the laws te be punished, hut thero was no innocenoe formed, and the accused have all the benefit of being con sidered martyrs, while they can laugh at the futile and imbecile attempt of the would- be defenders of the laws, to administer jus tice. The sinks of crime, known as “gambling hells”—those hot beds of the devil’s garden, about which so much has been written and said, were mode the sub ject of executive action a night or two eince, and several of the most notorious were visited by the reserved corps of the police. The time of the visit was evidently, badly chosen—the hour being so early that their operations had not commenced. Several arrests were made, and some implements of the trade secured. But the moral effect of the blow can only be slight—i-not half what it should have been. It will only serve to muke the villains more wary in future. Chivalry is still rampant in these times. One young gentleman calls another a liar; the latter borrows a glove from a bystander, and slaps across the offender’s nose, a la “Tom Burke of Ours”—a trip is arranged over the Canadian lines, and the bucks re turn, each with a pistol shot somewhere in the legs, we believe the calf. Honur is satisfied, and the parties considering their courage immortalized, shake hands.

There are men here who think j that even if they fail in any other compro mise, a junction of all sections maybe made npon Live Oak George.” We clip the above from an article in the New York Herald, in reference to the pro ceedings of the Philadelphia Know Noth ing Convention. In another place we are informed that “George Law is gaining ground in the affections of numbers from distant States every moment,” The sale of the Roman world to an ambi tious old Senator, whose only merit consis ted in having “more money than he knows what to do with,” and who was generous enough to expend it in the purchase of a nation was the most ridiculous farce, and at the same time the most ominous event that characterised the decline of tbe great empire. The student of history who turns with disgust from the recital of such an event will view with alarm and indignation this effort of a political party to barter the Pres idential chair to a millionaire, whose only possible recommendation consists in tk$ ownership of a few dozen vessels and a bouse on Fift Avenue, where doubtless he entertains his friends in the most hospitable manner, as did the aforesaid Roman Sena tor. Men of high political standing and thoroughly learned in governmental affairs are branded with the epithets “old bucks,” and unceremoniously pushed aside to make way for the owner of a fine mansion and a master of good cheer. The war against demagogues and politi cal hucksters, has, like most other wars, gone far beyond its original design. States men are now to he struck down, and in their stead we are to have as guardians of the Government, men whose political education consists in musket speculations, and the management of steamships. This miserable attempt to put the Presidential chair upon tho stock market to be bidden for at its equivalentin hard cash, marks the existence in our midst, of a body of men, who, desti tute of every principle of patriotism, delibe rately seek the degradation of the Republic. If this he Know Nothing conservatism, Heaven help us from 6uch ! But we hope and believe that no considerable political party at the South, will everbe the advocate of so disgraceful an action, and the bare mention of which, is an insult to the people, and a disgrace to the nation. “Every man to his callingCromwell could not drive horses, and so he confined himself to Eng land and the army. Let George Law learn from a man whose least thought would burst his brain, to attend to that business for which nature and education has fitted him. As a dealer in stocks, or an owner of mail lines, Mr. Law* is doubtless, a useful citizen ; but let him forbear the attempt to thrust his puny self into a position, which commanded the genius of Jackson and Jef ferson. Hod. Htram Warner. It is with no small degree of pleasure that we are enabled this morning to raise the name of Hon. Hiram Warner as the Dem ocratic candidate for Congress from the Fourth District. Without disparagement to any of the other able aud talented gentle men whose names were before the Conven tion, at Newnan, yesterday, we believe wo but speak the sentiments of a very large majority of the people when we say, that nowhere in the Fourth District could be found a man more fully and thoroughly qualified for the duties of the office, or whose public and private virtues are more widely known aud universally respected. Judge Warner is a man whom any con stituency might well be proud to see rep resenting them in the councils of the na tion. His nomination at this timo by the Democracy of the district is equivolent to an election, and we will venture to pre dict that the opposition, if any should be organized, will be little more than nomi nal. Judge Warner is now a man a little up wards of fifty years of age and has been a resident of Georgia since 1819. He is a man of whom it may he justly said, that he is the architect of his own fortune. In 1824 he commenced the practice of the law at Knoxville, Crawford county, where, by his industry and energy he laid the foundation of his professional distinction. In 1828, he was elected a representative to the State Legislature, and oontinued a member until 1831, when he declined a re- electton in order to devote himself more ex clusively to his profession. In 1833 he was appointed by tbe joint ballot of the Legislature, Judge of the Su perior Court of toe Coweta Circuit, at that time the highest judicial tribunal in the State. He was re-appointed in 1836 to the same office, which he held till 1840. The Supreme Court of Georgia was or ganized in December 1845, and Hiram Warner was appointed, by the joint ballot of both houses of the Legislature, one of the three Judges to discharge the duties of tbe difficult &■ i resi -nsible station. He was re-appointo.. * the Legislature of 1849 for the term of ia years. Of his ability and learning, as a jurist, the published volumes of the decisions of the Supreme Court, bear satisfactory and incontestible evidence. We have only to add, as a fitting termi- minatinn to this hnrried sketch of his pub- lio career, that in Octoner 1855, the people of the Fourth Congressional District will elect him, by an overwhelming majority, to represent them in the Congress of the United States. Fifth District, We learn that Judge J. II. Lumpkin was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Congress from the Fifth District, by the Convention which met at Calhoun, on Tues- Gor. Johnson’s Letter off Acceptance. Milledoeville, June 5tb, 1855. His Excellency, Herschel V. Johnson: Dear Sir; Tbe uudersicned were ap pointed a Committee by the Democratic Convention, assembled in the Capitol to-day, to announce to you tbe gratifying results of its action, in the very great unanimity with which you were nominated for reflec tion to the office of Governor of the State of Georgia, approving of yaur administra tion, and to request your acceptance at your earliest convenience. In tbe performance of the pleasant duty wd earnestly desire your compliance with the wish of the Con vention, and feel fully aware of the exciting contest that awaits you, but we have an abiding confidence in your entire ability to bear in triumph the standard of the Democ racy, which has this day bran entrusted to your keeping, and think we can truly say, that they that are for us are more than they that are against us. Assuring you of the great gratification the performance of this duty affords us, we are, very truly, Your ob’t. servants' L. B. Smith, E. J. McGehee, | John E„ Ward, j R. H. D. Sorrel, j Milledgeville, June 8tb, 1855. j Gentlemen: Yours of the 5th inst., in be half of the late Democratic Convention, in forming me of my nomination, by that body, “ for re-election to the office of Gov ernor of the State of Georgia,” has been duly received. I have delayed a reply, for two or three days, in order that I might carefully examine the resolutions adopted by the Convention. Having done so, I cor dially approve them. They are eminently suited to the circumstances by whioh we are surrounded. They breathe the right spirit. They meet, in a becoming manner, every question that is raised by political developments, and constitute a basis of ac tion upon which all sound National men, North and South, can stand and co-operate to uphold the Constitution. The platform is sufficiently sectional to protect the rights of the South and yet sufficiently national to maintain such an organization as is best calculated to preserve the integrity of the Union. It will not suit those who, eschew ing all affiliation with the sound men of the free States, prefer to array the South, as a section, against the North, But it must commend itself to the adoption of all those who, forgetting mere party names and ris ing superior to mere prejudices against men, and sincerely anxious for the people of Georgia to aet as a unit, upon principle.— Thus considered, it is a most happy concep tion ; and if the voice of patriotism and duty shall be obeyed, the result of the pend ing canvass will evidence a unanimity, in this State, which will tell, with salutary ef fect, upon abolition fanaticism. No issue is now pending which demands, as a means of self preservation, that the people of Georgia should lead off in the formation of a sectional party. Such a one may arise. The rejection of the application of Kansas, as a slave State, into the Union, may force it upon us. But in that contin gency, the 4th Resolution of the Georgia Convention of 1850. proclaims the action to which we are pledged. “ Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereofand therefore it were better to defer ti sectional organiza tion, than to jeopard Southern unanimity by a tempting it prematurely. In the ranks of the Northern Democracy are to be found the only reliable friends of the South, and they are many. They have faithfully adhered to our cause, in Con gress. They voted for the Nebraska Kansas bill, when every Northern Whig opposed it. It is true, they have be»n defeated in the recent elections in the North and West. The united cohorts of Freosoilers and Abo litionists, under the black banner of “Know Notbingism,” have elected to the next Con gress a controlling majority. But though our Northern friends have fallen beneath tho assa>sin blade of these conspirators, they have no; renounced their principles.— Shall we then desert them in the hour of their defeat ? Shall we turn our backs upon them, because they have been overcome in their struggle for us? If we do, to tbe sin of ingratitude we add the crime of political suicide. If we stand by them, we can sus tain them ; and with their co-operation, the South may maintain her rights in the Union. But if we cut loose from them, we leave them to the tender mercies of Kuow The fact that I did not desire to be nomi nated. but was anxious that the honor ehould have been cast upon some other, more worthy, does not diminish the sincere gratitude with which it is accepted. If elected, I shall address myself with unre served devotion to the advancement of all the interests of Georgia. Possessing, in rich profusion, the elements of greatness, she cannot fail, under the guidance of wise counsels, to attain to the highest prosperity, distinction and power. If public education be properly fostered, and her exhaustless resources developed; if her internal im provements be judiciously aided, and her agriculture rescued from th6 improvidence which has slain her forests and impover ished her prolific soil; if her labor and cap ital be directed by an intelligence that will elevate and reward the worthy mechanic and tradesman, the future that awaits her, will triumphantly vindicate her title to tho appellation of the “Empire State of the South. Whether in private or publio life, it will be my pleasure to promote, to the utmost of my feeble ability, this desirable object; and it will bo the sweetest reward of this, my highest ambition, if I may, at the end of my career, truthfully indulge the reflection, that I have, in any degree, been when Jefferson and the Democracy came in power, it was reduced to five years—the term sanctioned by Washington—and has so remained to the present time. Thus re ceiving the sanction of all the Presidents, but Adams, and the long list of illustrious Republicans whose wise and patriotic deeds adorn the pages of Ameriorn history. An other grievance complained of in the Dec laration of Independence was the imposi tion of “taxes without our oonsent”—“tax ation witout representation.” Hence tho framers of the Constitution provided that “representation and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States * * according to their respective numbers.”— It is the honor of Know Notbingism, in this age of enlightenment, to rebuke tbe wis dom of our fathers by seeking to undermine the principle of religious toleration, to pro scribe men on account of the accident of birth, and reduce them to the degredation of serfdom, by compelling them to endure the burdens, without enjoying the immuni ties of Government. This senseless cru sade—the offspring of fanaticism, abolition ism and demagogueism—challenges the co operation of every true frieud of the Consti tution to arrest and rebuke it. It is fraught with consequences most dangerous, and its triumph will be the signal for riot, blood shed and revolution. If these reflections need aditional support, it may be found in the rise, progress and principles of “Know Nothingistn.” Having its origin in Massachusetts, it affmds a com mon ground for the union of the abolition ists and free-soilers of all parties. Ensconced behind the masked battery of secrecy, it has not only routed the friends of the South in the free States, but it assaults some of tbe most sacred provisions of the Constitution and rights most dear to freemen. The crowning glory of the Protestant Reforma tion was the right of private judgement, in matters of religious faith and d tetrinc.— This was a powerful element in the revolu tionary struggle and when victory was a- ohieved. it was guarantied by the very letter of the Constitution. Our forefathers com plained in the Declaration of Independence that George the Third had “endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither; and raising the cmdition of new appropria tions of land.” Hence the framers o{ the Constitution were careful to empower Con gress to adopt a ^uniform rule of naturali zation.” And the first Congress that as sembled in 1790, under the Constitution, composed of tbe sages who achieved our in dependence fixed the term of two years res idence on an alien prior to his admission to the rights of oitisenahlp. In 1795, it was inoreased to five years. In 1798, under the administration of federal John Adams, it wee iaorwmrt to tea*.

That Georgia should be “one people and one party,” there can be no question. But why may not this be accomplished upon the J ilatform adopted by the late Democratic Convention? If its principles arc sound and commend themselves to true State Rights men, aud to every friend of the Union—if they are those to which the peo ple of Georgia, of all parties have pledged themselves, in the most solemn form, then it is tho part of wisdom, patriotism and policy, that all should unite in their sup port, and thus preserve our alliance with the sound men of the North. Whatever course may be preferred by some, the great mass of the people of Georgia—Whigs and Democrats—like thoso of Virginia, will unite, aud if we fail to become “one people and one part} - ,” the fault will lie at the door of t'loso who refuse to co-operate with us. When it shall appear, that our alliance with the true men of the North is unavail- the humble instrument of so glorious a con summation. Accept, gentlemen, my cordial thanks for the friendly terms in which you havo com municated the action of the Convention, and permit me to add assurances of the high consideration aud respect with which, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Messrs. L. B. Smith, E. J. McGehee, John E. Ward, R. II. D. Sorrel- -Committee. (communicated.) Tlie Blue Ridge Judicial Election. HON. DAVID IRWIN. Tho term of Judge Irwin’s office ends with tho fall riding of thepre.-ent yearand the elec tion of for his successor will take place on the first Monday in October next. His name having been announced as a candidate for re-election, his mental and moral quali fication as well as his course upon the bench are proper subjects of enquiry and fair crit icism before the people. Unlike his competitor, CoL Brown, he is not a man of piety ; but his moral charac ter and bearing are, so far as we know, wholly free from exception or cause of com plaint. Upon the score of moral qualifica tion the two candidates are of equal merit, unless being a man of strict morals and an orderly member of a Christian church should constitute a preference for, or an ob jection to one, while the other is, in morals, entirely free from reproach. While we claim for Col. Brown superior natural endowments, we cheerfully agree that Judge Irwin possesses a mind of no or dinary cast. It is due to him to say that he stands higher in point of legal ability than some we have seen upon the bench; yet at the same time he has many superiors. We cannot acquiesce in the extravagant lauda tions which are designedly heaped upon him by his Whig and quasi Whig friends in the circuit. Capital is sought for him in every possible way which promises to secure a vote ; among others the fact is stated that comparatively few of his decisions have been reversed by the Supreme Court. It is also irue that comparatively few of his cases have bran carried up. This is owing entirely to the litigant spirit of the people and the disposition of the lawyers, in some sections of tlie State it is custom ary to carry up almost every doubtful case ; but such is not tbe case in this circuit. There is evidently a design and an effort among the Whigs of the circuit to carry Judge Irwin’s election by “spontaneous combustion” by the use of two leading ideas, which they are particularly anxious to impress upon Democrats. The one that it is not a political office, which branch of the subject I shall reserve for a subsequent article. The other is, that ho is a “mighty clever man ” and a “ mighty good Judge.” We are cheerful in agreeing tiiat he is an exceedingly “clever man,” and if it will be gratifying to any one we will admit, for the sake of the argument, that he is a “mighty good Judge,” as claimed; but trutli and justice compel us to add that he is a “migh ty slow Judge, too.” The business of the country is accumulating; the dockets in almost if not every county in the circuit are thronged with cases ; justice is delayed uu- til the way to it by the people is virtually hedged up. The peoplo are called from their business at home in the busy seasons of the year, as parties, jurors and witnesses, and kept on hand from day to day and from court to court. It is the crying evil of the circuit. Is it owing to the great increase of litigation ? In some counties litigation has increased while in others it has di minished, and still the same difficulty exists iu all. The assertion may be made with truth, that if not another case were sued in the oircuit, after the close of Judge Irwin’s term of office he could not clear the dockets in two years. This state ment will doubtless be denied. I know that there are efforts made by some to suppress tbe truth upon this point, yet everyone who wishes to be informed upon the subject, go to the clerk’s office of the Superior Court of his county, and examine the dockets for himself. What is the cause of all this ? There can be but one truthful answer given, and that is apparent to every one who has written upon our courts. It is owing to the great amount of time consumed in doing nothing, and in the trial of what few causes aredispoBed of. All the Attorneys employ ed in a case have to be heard at length,upon every point raised on tho trial. Rules of practice, and pot unfrequently decorum, are ruthlessly violated. The court uow, in stead of being a place of entertainment and pleasure, is often converted by the bar, tole rated by the Judge, into a place of disgust to all persons of good taste. I have fre quently observed, after a point has been elaborated over and again by counsel, and enough consumed upon it to try the whole court, the Judge sends for the boqkw, and with a quietness of nerve peculiar to him self, sits upon the bench, keeps the bar, the jury, the witnesses, and congregation in tedious suspense, while he looks up and reads “the law of the case not, as it is U.

Washington, June 11.—Vespasian Ellis Esq., editor of the American Organ here writes to that paper from the Philadelphia Convention. lie says that so far no conces sions have been made by either the extreme North or South, but four resolutions of a national character have been adopted by the committee on the platform. New York and New Jersey are conserva tive in their views, and Pennsylvania is not ultra. He believes that a conservative platform will be adopted by a respectable majority.
