'Judge Herrick's itlartiresie. A &cur:tent, purporting t ti be an ad dress, signed by Edward Herrick, L. S. Eltsworth and others, has been slily cir culated in this county for mime weeks past. By accident one has come to our hands. We say slily circulated, because n:e have the authority ota reputable whig that he saw one, more than four seek since. We are not supprised at this clandestine movement, aftei perusing the &Cement, but we confess our astonish ment at the conduct of Judge Herrick, as it seems to be a bantlink of his, and brought forth under his special supervis ion. Some Weeks since a paper was circulating in this quarter to procure the signatures of about two hundred demo crats, who it was confidently asserted_ by the federalists, had changed from us and gone ()veil° them. We were then told by them that the list would be pub lished in. tit.:t Argus, since which, we have been lookirq. for its publicatiion, at length we have it, tizat from another 'quarter. The list contalt . 2s thirty names instead of two "huqdred ; pt these thirty the whole county has been sew*. ed. This explains both the reason wily the Aqua has not published it, and the 1 reason why this secieCand stealthy course is, adopted . to circulate this docu ment. The federalists had been making sweepingand unfounded °pennons about I , changes," at home and abroad ; many were persuaded to believe the story, and that a large share of the democracy of 'Bradford had really wheeled into the ranks of 'the federalists. For the pur pose of astoniehing the people every where, the paper for signature went the round, and after searching every town ship thirty names appear. This was too glaring a refutation of i their falsehoods about changes to be pub- I fished in the Argus ; thirty names would no: atone for asserting there was two hundred. Hence a few federalists have been sneaking aixtut the county clandes tinely_ circulating this conkmptible ad dress. The-trick does not stop here.— Although there are two who gave no authority for their names being put to the address, and,repudiate the doctrine in it. We are infdrmed by the neigh bors of Thomas-Lane of Athens, and G. W. Plumes, that when the address was shown them, (I:iy a democrat, some eeks'after it was published) _the3/ as serted it was the test time they had keen it, and their names appeared to it with out authority ; that their names were procured for some purpose, by Judge Herrick, kutpot for_ this purpose-unless grOsaly deceived.

So much for the Judges' influence. We do not believe -one third of the names to this address were ever procur ed for the purpose of endorsing the doc trine it contains, • We shall be able to show that in several instances, a fla grant imposition has been practised, and we doubt not that, the same exposure will be made by others ; in which we are strengthened by' the -great caution which-. has- been used- to .49 this „docti meat from the sight of many whose names are printed in it. The address is a reiteration of old and reputed false hoods, and known to be such,* the Judge ; characteriZed throughout by that kind of humbuggery, which Judge Her rick. ought to despise, and which he will I repent of hereafter .

TUINOB 'VII SE REMEDIFIERED.—Detno crats.of Bradford, remember that -there is a United States Senator to be elected next winter by the Legislatures of this State; Remember that the political com plexion of the U. S. Senate may depend upon the choice from this state. Remember that highly important meas ures will come before the next senate, hence it is alt important that Pennsylva nia should be truly and faithfully repre sented. Remember that the whigs, antimasons and self-styled Native Americans, are combining all their efforts to defeat the democracy, and secure to the opposi tion a majority in our next legislature. Remember that should they succeed, they might elect a. Federal Senator and entail upon our commonwealth, "Curses not loud but deep" for six years to come. Remember that you have the-river in your hands to prevent it, by securing the election of the Democratic nominees for Representative. Remember to be active and vigelant in encouraging your neighbors and fel low democrats to use all honorable exertion to secure the election .* of Messrs Elliott & Wilson. Remember to allow no consideration to keep you from the polls on the day ol- ELetion, and to see that every dem eerattc vote is polled for the candidates of the Democratic-party.

Bradtord. Count,L Court, Saturday, Sept.. 7th 1844. ;The following Opinion was given by . the Court to-day, in reference:te the taxation orthe . bill;,iiif emiti, in the case of, the Commonwealth vs. W. ll.'Over , ton.' It Will be:recollected . by,our ders, thit Mr. Overton was cs';nvicted, at December sessions, 1843, of an as sault and battery. on Charles Jenkins. and sentenced at the Feb. sessions to pay a fine of twenty-five (fellers to the Commonwealth, and the costs of pro secution. 4 The fine and costs as taxed amounted ‘45- . $36.6,88. It may be re marked, that aft indictment wail found against him', at Sept. Terris, and the witnesses. were 'in , attendance'on the part of the Commonwealth ; but the cause was continued on application of the defendant. At Dee. Term, the first bill was quashed, and anew one found,' on which the trial took place. On the 15th of Feb. 1844, the defendant took a rule for retasing the costs. and 'ob jected to all the Oats, previous to quashing the indictment, and to all the witness fees and service of subpoe nrs, except those witnesses who were sworn on the trial &c. " The prosecutor alleged that the large number of witnesses was nedes eery, in consequence of the threat of Mr. Overton to impeach the Jenkins' The clerk decided that the defendant ough t not to be taxed with any costs made previousto quashing the indictment,.ex cept the costs before the Justice, and the costs of those witnesses examined before the grand Jury in order to find a new bill. He likewise decided against allowing costs for any witnesses except those examined on the trial. in I Dec. The whole matter came before the Court on appeal from this decision •Of the clerk. The opinion of the court is in the following words 4 ' Since the Act of 23d Sept. 1791, a defendant in an indictment has not been regarded liable to pay the costs of pro secution, except in cases of conviction and Of acquittal , by the traverse jury, where, by subsequent acts, they have the power to charge him with such costs. In the present case, ; pe defen dant cannot be obliged to pa?the costs upon the quashed bill. unless it be con sidered part of the same proceeding with the second bill, and therefore con trolled by the verdict of the jury there- This question seems to be rutted by the decision of the Supreme Court in Commonwealth,' vs. Huntingdon court pi, 3d Ratote, 488; where two bills, and in exactly similar circumstances, are held to be "distinct prosecutions." and the direction of the grand jury as to the costs upon the second bill, be cause they then are distinct prosecu tions, were regarded as not applying to the costs on the former. The liability of the county in the one case, and the defendant in the present, are equally and only • statutory, depending on the -I eventual finding, of the power, having the control of the costs ; and we can-' not see how a different rule can be adopted in the one case, from the other. It is our opinion, therefore, that the Commonwealth has no right to find fault with the taxation of the clerk. as to the costs accruing previous to quash ing the first bill. . . The evidence produced t&prove the necessity of the large number of wit nesses at Dec. sessions, 1843, is not satisfactory to the Court; we cannot countenance in any case, such an at- tempt as the present, ar.d the same measure would have been meted out to' the defendant, if it be the fact that he had subpo3naed so many witnesses as is alleged, and there had been a reverse decision of the ca - use. The court will in no case justify any party in the un necessary reduplication of testimony as to any particulav pointorhetlier from the f a ncied benefit of one party outnutiaber ing the'witnesses of the other, or for any other reason. We cannot. however say, that under the threat ,hf the defendant, carried to the ears o'f the prOsecutor, whether true or Mae. to impeach the Jenkins', he would not be.justified in bringing some witnesse s to sustsin their character; as some of '• that family - were examined as witnest.es, even' though John and Bay, the principal objects of the intended at tack., were not improved. We allow 'the Comtle, therefom in addition to the witnesses examined on the trial, the costs of tubpo3naing and attendance:of eight witnesses to, : lie selectedati the COnairanwtalth may chob art f rom t, l charged in 'the bill; beyond no t , Amount of, the bill filet), is deemed , pre/nave, and rejected consequently the Court; and so far only lith e peal of the Commonwealth fro m taintiOn of the clerk sustained." ), Wednesday, Sept. llt,; MARTIN ELSDREH to the use $ mat BON &sawn vs. Lama and E. myite, admitirstratois of Win. wy el deceased.
