The opinion of.Jtalge Sharswood, the Dem ocratic candidate for the Bench 'of ~the Sn preme Court, speaks for itself. The Post professes to be "ratified that the Coinmercial has published it in full," and Linvitt:s, with much show of confidence, "to its considera tion, every lawyer who is a lawyer." If the Post. is so•confident, why, we might ask, does it withhold the document from its oWn read erg, and giVe its own soft blarney instead?— we pablishd it, in dill over a Week ago, 'and, deemed it as carrying the evidence of its • un-, .seundness in itself, to require llittle eomment',l from its. The Post, on the contrary', witty, holds theopioion sod' gives . ewn ha-., nuigu &hi place of it. • The opinion of Judge SharsWood ivadverie to our present currency and would, if admit ted, depreciate its value grentlY, if it did not render it utterly worthless. The Post agrees with it. The opinion has not'been admitted in any Court. In the Court andtlin case in which it Was given, it was opposed by .the other Judges and therefore had 'neither au thority nor influence. Its very form, and style are more like argument : of counsel than like an opinion from the Ctifirt. The citations from Marshall and 'Story might have been made.by a menaber of the bar as wall as by a l ludge of the Bencli The rele vancy_ of the Citations is not, Omitted,. but de nied in the decision of the Judges.,, ' This opinion, 'as it is called, or Argument, of Judge Sharswood had no, genetal impor taDCC, beyond the particulaecase that called it forth, until its author appeared as a candi date, by the. Democratic nomination, . for a seat on 'the Supreme Bench. It' now be comes a matter of vast irupertance, from its connection with the. question :IX currency and financed It is easy , to see lunv Judge Court Sharswood would decide every that mighttnvolve the collection of mon or the payment of debts, and what endl itigation 'and financial disaster would folio ,had'he the power as Judge of the ,Suprem Court to-nul lify the whole present system of currency in the State. - . , And/foam-the blind and reckless zeal - with erhicit,the party press advocate his send- Mena; or, at least praise them, while not giving them in his language to their readers, tt is evident that Judge Sherwood Is to be the representative of an organized war upon the t money interests of the Common w th, the effect of which would be to em batreas all kinds of business We -do not hold Judge Sharswood responsible immedi ately for these results. for his opinion. was given by him in a specific case legitimately Wore him' in court.
