The Judiciary question has caused a flarfe up in Philadelphia in the selection of dele gates to the Harrisbttrg Convention. The Buchanan party Were in favor of Judge Campbell's nomination for the Supreme Bench. The other portion ol the demo cratic party were in favor of Judge King. The friends of Judge King withdrew, and the result is two sels of delegates. We can inform our political friends in Philadelphia, that if they expect to elect a candidate from the city for that important station, they will have to select a well tried and competent man. We have some little acquaintance with the Philadelphia Bar and We have yet to hear the first lawyer who is willing to concede to Mr. C.the ne cessary qualifications for the post to which he now aspires. Judge King is decidedly a superior man in every respect, excepting that he is not a Catholic, which is said to be the only merit of Judge Campbell. Far be it from us to object to a ntan on account of hi3 religion. Chief Justice Taney of the U. S. Supreme Court is a Catholic, but he is nUo a highly competent and able man, and no right minded man could make any objection to his appointment. Why cn incompetent man should be se lected from Philadelphia, is indeed incom prehensible, unless it is intended to cast odium upon tha measure making the Judi ciary elective. The Bar at Philadelphia contains a number of gentleman, both whigs and democrats, who would do honor to the station. Anions the latter, we may men lion John M. Read, Esq., whose talents and legal attainments have never been quo's tioned. Wis repeat that the interior will never consent to elect to that important po. sition, an incompetent man, on party grounds, and the sooner these trading poli ticians are taught that the people are not to be trifled with in this matter, the better it will be fur the patty as well as the coun try. The following extract from the Philadel phia Bulletin of the CSth inst., received since the above was written, more than cor roberates our assertions: Thev have, by this net, made themselves as well as their candidate, a laiinhiu stock, and it Miiiv how litlle knowledge llie.y, and ELECTION OF V. S. SENATOR. The Harrisburg correspondent of the Fittsburg Tribune, giving an account oi the election of Mr. Brondhead, and the triumph of Gem Cameron over his enemies, thus re fers to Mr. Buchanan ! Tho best thing that could happen him now, in his old days, is to take unto himself a wife that he might perchance get consolation from one true and disinterested soul, who would possess a heart; for this commodity "Buck" is said not to possess. I bid Judge Black kept clear of the Buch anan influence his chance would have been much mure to the purpose. Ilia vote dwin died down to four alas, Premier! You have fallen like a sacrifice, never to rise again. This will be a good lesson in future for gen tlemen with commissions of Judges in thoir pockets, not to play the mendicant in roam ing about circuits that don't come within their jurisdiction. Old Simon did the work for liroailheutl, as I expected that if he would not bo successful himself his fiiends could and would make the Senator. Cam eron made everything bend to accomplish the work of destruction to Buchanan and his friends. This, you see, he Bccompli5hed to the fullness of his heart. Tim Senator elect invited (Icn. Cameron to dine with him in honor, ns I suppose, of the triumph achieved over tho combined forces. had the pleasure of drinking a glass of wine with the two heroes and slayers of Buchanan, Black, tf nod ward 5; Co. Cameron wnstoast- ed ns the iifj-f Vice President of the United Stales; this will throw Foiney into fits. But the will of the people must be carried out things will now go on here more calmly after the excitement. FATAL At IDEST. On Saturday last, at Lemon Flace, on the Culumbia and Philadelphia Railroad' Mr. Stephen Plank, a farmer, who was driving his team, loaded with grain, to a neighboring warehouse, was run over and killed by the en gine. At this point tho wagon road runs parallel with the railroad, and the near approach of the locomotive frightened the horses, and in duced Mr. Plank to dismount from the horse and hold those more fractious. They were both going westward, and on a descending grade, at the crossing, came in side collision, wedgewise, Mr. P. getting under the engine, became entangled in the machinery fastened to ihe driving axle, revolved with it, until the train, breaking every bone in his body, savo a leg, that had been cut off in the first instance 1 lie was wound so tight around the shaft and so wedged between the fire box and the driving wheel, that to enable them to extricate tho mangled corpse, they had to resort to jacking up tho engine Lan caster Gu.cttc, 25ft inst. the wirepullers who directed this movement, have ol liie intelligence anil gooit sense ot ill ! delegates from tho country, who make up the body of the convention by which this nomination is to bo made. What will the country lawyers who participate in these nomiiialious, sav, when they are told that tho ureal city of Philadelphia ha.s presented a man to them, for their support, who, during a practice of rcveral years at the bar, never tried a civil ca'1 and that from sheer in competency! What will they say, when ihey are told, ns thev will be, that, during the leu years ha has been on tho bench, his friends cannot point to ono simile evidence of his fitness for the place, notwithstanding tho important questions constantly nrising out of tin) business of a population of three or four hundred thousand people? Ho has shirked every question that has come up, and has scarcely iiiven an opinion, written or oral, din inir "all that lime. We venture to say thus publielv, and we verily believe we are lor'.ili.'d by the opinion of iiine-tenlhs of the members of the bar, that he cannot write an essay of two pases intelligibly, on the dis tinctions between law rind equity, and their bearing on the jurisprudence ol tho country. STATE REronTEK. We observe that Mr. Packer has read a bill in place, in the House of Representatives, vesting the appointment of "Reporter" of the decisionsof the Supremo Court, in the Judges, afler January, 1S52. There aie others who think the ollice should be made elective. Wo think Mr. Packer's bill would bo very generally acceptable. The Judges afo deeply interested in having their opinions properly reported, and as they appoint their clerks, they should probably also appoint their Re porter. Mr. Harris, the present Reporter, we under stand is endeavoring to havo this district abolished, and annexed to the Harrisburg dis trict. This, no doubt, would be moie conve nient for Mr. Harris, who probably thinks Iho ollice was made for tho man, instead oi the man for the ollice, and that the expense and inconvenience of the people is a matter of no importance w hen compared with his own. Mr. Harris, it is said, is not pleased with our place. This is indeed unfortunate. The Judges of tho Supreme Court, from Judge Tilnhmandown, have always expressed them selves highly pleased with Sunbury, and we regret I hat ihe extremely nice and fastidious taste of Mr. Harris, should have been offend ed in any particular. THE DEATH OF AVIM I!ON, THE KATl'KALIKT John James Audubon, the oinilholojist died at his residence, on the, biul:s of the Hudson, January 17, 1S51, aged seventy-six years. This celebrated man was llu son o' an Admiiul in iho Piench iww, who too him to France, where he received a vaiied and accomplished education. Ho leturned to Louisiana, his birth-place, at the age of about seventeen years, and entered upon his paternal estates. He curly manifested his fondness for natural history, which he per- i.i i -. , . , . , . sued nirougn ine wuii uuauaicd eninusiusui, and with a success that has made him a world-wide reputation. The life like fidelity and beauty of deline ation of tho Birds of America, placed him in the first rank as an arlist, w hilst his minute accuiacy in describing their habits, piovcd him to have been tho closest observer. He was as staunch as a man as ho was re nowned as a naturalist. The childlike sim plicity of bis manners and cheerfulness of temper were worthy of all imitation, and made him beloved by all who knew him. New York Post, 2H:h.
