The people aro tired of taxes and un

Mr. Itawtt on I'otUlcal Judge.
Political Judges art about as safe
and useful aa religious Devils. Con
gressman Dawes, tor lllack Repub
lican, last week gave the former a
jusi reviev. Iu discussing a con
tented o lection ease in the Hump, whilo
giving his viowa of lh decision of a
State court, composed, as allogod, of
throe Republicans and tvo Democrats,
he said : "Sir, it addt, to weight to
a judgmont of any court in thia land,
in ray mind, lhat the judges ia pro
nouncing that judgment have sunk
the judge in tho politician. If there
is anything from whiok I shrink in
utter disgust it is a political judgo.
The whole history of the jurispru

tho wrecks of lKiliticil judges. Ha

from the bench and essayed the paths

tbe public gar.e ; and I ask llie gentle
man from I'onnaylvuiiia if in Ameri
can politics thoro is anything that
gives better assurance of a mora suc
cessful trial of this tixporimout on the
part of the judiciary hure than in the
Old World t Are the paths of politics
here loss devious, lots shiny, less fatal
in their influence upon tho judicial
charucter and upon tho ermine than
in tho Old World t Tiino, sir. will de
termine) but to mo, if anything can
detract from llie weight ol a judgment
of a court it is tlio announcement on
tho part of him who cites it that it is
the judgment of throe Uepublican
and two DemocruU. When llie gen
tleman from Indiana (Mr. Kerr) in
sisla thai I shall add to the respect
which I have accorded to their learn
ing and private worth deterene-e to
their political sentiment, what I bavo
said with regard to the mingling of
politics with the judicial character be
comes appropriate as illustrating the
history ol all such attempt! in the Old
World and in this ; and Hinilu I pre
diet, will bo tlio fatoof'evory judge
of any standing who saull undertake
to curry ui llie same timo the judicial
ormlne and tho d rt-driiggled mantle
of politics."
This is tho most sensible view upon
this subject wo ov,r road coming from
that source, becutso tho judges and
clergymen of tho "loyal" persuasion
aro liittorions'y giten to politics, and
low of their backers object to this spo

There ia an effort being re-made to
impose upon the public inmd, the im
pression, that the Democracy is a re
pudiating party, and the effort comes
from those wlio;)udiiiii all private

contracts to take their pay iu lugul
louder paper, when at one time, il
took 21411 cents of this paper lo buy

comes too, from those, who have rt

incarcerations without trial or law,
or Military bills subverting the right
of trial by jury, and everything else
of civil rii'hts. aacred among mun.
Tha Democraliu party ol this noan
try ia on record, over and over again,
as the most faithful of all parties to
Debts and Obligations. Even in the
darkest paper money times, in this
Slato, and elsewhere, ihcy have insis
ted upou payiug in gold, whon every
body else was paying in paper. The
party is loo old, and the mun in it are
too upright to change their principles
or their creed and there is no doubt,
that when ia powor, thoy will bo
fuilbful to all obligations ill the future,
as thoy have boon in tho past.
The question in the West, nnd in

If "tho (icneral of our Armies" was
so much a lorce In tho land that his
mero "opinion" was deemed by the
Tribune sufficient to demand the con
viction and removal of tho President,
ntiblio nolicv dictates that tirant
should at once roaijjn an oBico which
is declared powerful enough to nn
mako one President, and which may
bo used to create another.
Tho minlater of a church out West

"jro folley or. flu own."
Gonoral Grunt, in his speech of ac
ceptance, said : Yoa have truly said
that I shall hate no policy of my own
to interfere against tlio will of the peo
ple." Such language mny auil the
tastes of sums, but from the lips of a
candidate for tho I'lesidency of the
Coiled Stales theycome with exceed
ing bad grace. Suppose he hud made
a declaration of Una kind when he
took command of the army ; who,
among the otlioers or privates would
have defended him! Vet, now, hia
fnonds wish to palm him oft on the
peoplo.not knowing whether be favors
a military despotism, or a democratic
form of government. That President
is riot worth a penny who has not a
line of policy or uu? vuad oul,
and who, in ti mes such aa those
throngh which we aro passing, has
not the courage to declare what that
policy should be. The fact that Gen
eral Grant quulifioshia announcement
by saying that be baa no policy of his
own to interfere against the wilt of the
penple, does not ruliove him from the
charge of unmanly weakness. Tho
Piesident of a greut pooplo, it ho be
at all qualified for the position, can
not possibly escape the necessity of
clearly definiug his position in rela
tion lo such national liuo as may
from time totiine present themsolvet.
When, therefore, General Grant de
clares that he "ahull have no policy
of his own," hs simply announces lhat
being unlit ior tho pusiiion, lie hus roi(
BfJlVOU to SlHTOtidyr hllUHt'll into the
keeping of his Jladicul supporters to
be Uded by them for such purposes as
thoy may deem proper. This early
announcement ot his intentions to bo
a mero pliant tool in the bands of the
rovolutiuiiitUs who havo assumed
charge and control oM.im, wdl moro
than convince the people that a man
of more determined mould, and of
broader statesmanlike views, is need
ed lor tho Kxuculivo Department of
the Government.
