TO THE PEOPLE.
The District Atteraev-mesee A. Drple,
The period la approaching when It becomes neces
sary to nominate and elect some eligible candidate
the Important office 'District Attorney for the
and county of rtiilaaelphla, and although I pro-
bably have no more Interest In the question tha
any other patriotic citizen, I take leare to express
my views In relation to It, In the hope that they
Bay ao far awaken public sentiment in regard to it
ai may lead to such action as will be commensurate
with the importance of the subject. I shall not at
tempt in doing se to dictate to others who are as
well able to judge as myself, or to con
demn others who bappen to disagree
with my suggestions, my main object
being to Invite the attention of my fellow-cltlzena
to a fair, full, and timely consideration of the vital
Importance to the community of a judicious and dis
passionate selection for this moat Important and
lucrative position. I am not a party politician. I
an fettered to no faotlon. I am not disposed to
abuse one man or one set of men, or to throw
them into the shade merely to brighten the claims of
those whom I should prefer. This would be un
generous, and pf rhaps unjust, and possibly tend to
arouse invidious and acrimonious feeling, which la
always unfavorable to the fair and Judicious ex
erclse of political opinions. Let us then calmly In
quire what are the indispensable requisites of a suc
cessful candidate for the office referred to.
It is, as we have said, rightly considered a post
of great power and dignity, and the reputation of
the Incumbent must correspond with its require
ments and character, and be beyond reproach, lie
must be a gentleman we don't mean by this he
must be rich or gay or fashionable, but that he
must have the Instincts and manners of a gentle
man, even if he were in poverty or rags, we know
with some persons this Is a frightful word; It
smacks or aristocracy and men cry out against it,
yet let mo tell you It should be an Ingredient
of the fitness for oftlce that should never be lost
sight of. A gentleman, it is true, is nothing without
legal and moral competency but mere competency
Is much Impaired by a want of gentility, or call It,
If yon please, urbanity or civility. If a magistrate is
a rufflan, the criminal arraigned before him seems
to share in his nature and only differs in his
place. The Prosecuting Attorney should keep
his hands and his skirts clear from the Influence of
all those who are notorious violators of the laws,
such as gamesters, policy-dealers, ballot-stuffers,
brawlers, and disturbers of the peace. He should
te a consistent member of the party which he repre
sents; but in the duties of bis office he should know
no party and be Influenced by no political prejudices
or predilections. He Is the representative of justice,
and bis robes of office must be unstained, his repu
tation untainted, and his impartiality unsuspected.
He must not compromise his dignity and place by
uniting with the stool-pigeons, deectttves, or mere
emissaries of Justice, who always take more charac
ter from him than they can ever impart to him, and
thereby weaken the energies and destroy the purity
and symmetry of Judicial proceedings. In addition
to those q i allocations, he should be a lawyer, of
course, not a pettifogger, but a scientific, practical
lawyer. .
Now whom should we nominate possessing these
recommendations? While speaking of those who
are eminently qualified, it must not be supposed that
I would disparage other aspirants, but to leave the
estimate of their merits to those who best know
them and are best enabled to determine upon their
absolute or comparative ability. In my view, then,
and with this explanation of my purpose, It may be
said there is one gentleman whose eligibility,
founded upon the requirements already stated,
would seem to be unquestionable. A fine scholar,
an accomplished lawyer, a philanthropist, one of the
founders of the Republican party, and who, If we
remember rightly, was formerly placed In nomi
nation before the Republican convention for
this very office, and received nearly a
majority of votes on the first ballot we
refer to Moses A. Dropsle, Esq. To those who
are Intimate with Mr. Dropsle these commendations
are perhaps not as important as to others, but still It
may not be Improper, we trust, to refer to them.
Remember, this argument In bis favor does not de
pend upon defaming or decrying his competitors;
the man who builds his hope of success upon the
want of merit in his adversaries merely, Instead of
competency in himself, relies upon a very Insecure
basis, when be appeals to the favor of a Judicious
and Intelligent community. We need scarcely add
In behalf of the gentleman whose name is thus pre
sented that be is of a humane, fearless, and
exemplary moral reputation, and If elected to the
office of District Attorney will reflect honor upon
the station and confer a lasting benefit upon the
people.
Now, In common with this subject, It may not be
amiss to remark that the influence and power of the
District Attorney, while It materially affects the
community at large, has a still more direct effect
upon the character, conduct, and efficiency of the
members of the bar practising In the criminal court.
There was a time when such men as Lewis, Ser
geant, Blnney, Ingersoll, Dallas, and Rawle, and.
Indeed, all the magnates of the profession, flourished
in the halls of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and
Imparted to criminal Jurisprudence all the dignity,
learning, and fame that contributed to render the
courts the cynosure of the entire country. Even the
Supreme Court itself at this time does not exhibit
that becoming decorum, respect, aad gravity that
pervaded althat time what were called the iaf erlor
tribunals of justice.
Now, alas! how changed! Why changed? Bo-
cause there is a lack of system, a lack of courtesy
and gentility, for which are substituted, by a hurry,
ekurry mode of doing bustness, Pompei quam pujnn
uptior. This is partly attributable, no doubt, to the
large increase of a heterogeneous population, and
the proportionate Increase and variety of trials, and
the wretched want of accommodation In the rooms
appropriated to Justice. The judges are not to be
censured: their deportment 1b becoming; they can-
sot be bellowing out to the criers or tipstaves to
keep order. The difference between the deportment
now and formerly is that between a rowdy mob and
a refined drawing-room. Instead of teaching others
by example, and Inspiring them with respect for the
dignity of tne place, lawyers and clients, prose
cutors and criminals, witnesses and Jurors, are all
jumbled together, and seem perfectly satisfied with
this constrained association. These things should
certainly be amended, and the amending and con
trolling power should be exercised by the District
Attorney, standing aa he does between the judiciary
and the public. David Paul Brown.

WISHAR I 'S OOLUMN.
THE MEDICAL PRO
PERTIES OF TARo
The pine tree has long been known to pos
sess valuable naedical properties. For pul
monary diseases It is doubtful whether any
medy has as yet been discovered equal to
. It seems to change and renew the very
structure on which it acts, and to infuse into
the system an indescribable power equal to
the natural power before disease had even
taken hold of the body, so as to make, as it
were, an entirely new tissue, and to give a
newness of life and energy which one who
has been sick a long time knows the value of
ut cannot fully describe. The great objec
tion, however, to all tar preparations has been
their unpleasant taste, and consequent lia
bility to Bickness and nauseate the stomaoh.
We have before ns, however, a preparation of
the kind referred to, which obviates all these
objections, and is as agreeable to the palate
as it is valuable in the cure of disease. We
mean "Dr. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial,"
real, genuine, bona fide medicinal oordiaL
distilled from the pine tree by a prooesa
known only to the Doctor himself, the sale
and popularity of which are only equalled
the amount of suffering it has relieved, and
the numberof diseases it is bo well oaloulated
to effectually cure. In the Pine Tree Tar
Cordial the Invalid may be sure he has a
remedy of very extraordinary power for throat
and lung affections, and when taken In con
junction with the "Great American Dyspepsia
Pills," an infallible cure for dyspepsia, liver
oomplaint, sick headache, and the many ail
ments arising from a disordered state of the
liver and digestive organs.
In our sphere as publishers we feel some
degree of cautiousness In what we reoommend
to our readers, but when we (now of any
thing of value to the publics we shall not hesi
tate to make it known through our oolumns.
We advise those of our readers who are suffer
ing from dyspepsia, etc., to give Dr. Wishart'a
celebrated remedies a trial.
A medical expert, holding honorable eolle
giate diplomas, devotes his entire time to the
examination of patients at the office parlors.
Associated with him are three consulting phy
sicians of acknowledged eminence, whose ser
vices are given to the public free of charge.
This opportunity is offered by no other In
stitution in the country.
Thousands of certificates of absolute cure.
(when all else failed to afford relief), aa wll
as recommendatory letters without number,
have been received by Dr. Wishart, the pro
prietor, attesting the uniform success with
which they have been employed. Many of
said letters are from the highest sources, in
cluding eminent statesmen, Governors, State
judges, clergymen, etc. men blow to be con
vinced, prejudiced perhaps at first, but feel
ing themselves under a sense of duty bound
to tell the Doctor what they had done for them
and to recommend them to others. The Great
American Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar
Cordial are sold by all druggists throughout
the worli. They can also be obtained at Dr.
