' The nierchants of Philadelphia; and the bus.
ineas men of thecountry generally, ought to be
informed of amost extraordinary and alarniing
decision! ! made by Judge Coulter, at the last
sitting. in Harrisburg. The ' American Law
Journal,'; of 'July; contains a faithful report of
the decision. It was in the case of Sumner's
Appeal; and the substance of the decision was,
• that a creditor who had obtained a judgment
-in -goody faith, by confession, for an est
debt, and entered it up against real estat4,so
that it Was perfectly, secure, might be rieprrved
of. that !necurity four or five days afterwards,
without! any act of his own and againsi his
consent; by his insolvent debtor's making an
assigunient of his property, for the benefit of
creditors, if the Mar knew at the time of
confessing - the judginentl that he was ineolv.
ent, whether the creditor knew it or not. This
decision, has ahocked the,whole legal prOes
sian, from one end :of the State to the other.
It has alarmed the whole business commtrnity
through Out the COmmonwealth. If a Phila.
delphia merchant, learning that a large debt in
_the country 'lain jeopardy, sends a clerk,- or
goes himself. and by suit or confession, after
a great (led of trouble and anxiety, succeeds
at list in obtaining a judgment and entering
it np 4.1 a lien on real estate, so as to make it
.perfectly secure, according to Judge Coulter's
ideas of Law and justice, four or five days biter
the; merchant tuts returned to Philadel'Phia,
thinking that all is safe, the insolvent debtor
may destroy the lien of the judgment, b 3 ,1 ma
' king,cm assignment of his property! le our
opinion, this is neither law, nor justice 4 nor
common sense. If this is the law no ono it
safe ii the transaction' of his businessi. A
judgmont,whieh may bedestroyed at the pleas.
ure °l i the judgment debtor, without the- con
sent of the -judgment creditor, is not worth a
straw.; The very:idea is perfectly ridiculous.
A /ridge, with such credo notions of !evi and
justice, is dangerous to the business interests
of. the 'country. This Judge is the same con
sistent gentlemann , who has the credit of !
wri
ting the address in favor of Markle, for Gov:
craor,!in 1844, and afterwards, 'in the same
fall, voting for Shit:rat-411e sameman whO was
a candidate for nomination at the Democratic
Convention, and foiling in that, was taten up
bv, the Whigs—the same man who des t Osea
alike the names of. Whigs and Democrats, and
claims to be an old Federalist—and yet Neb.
and Coulter has been placed before the Sepia
of this Commonwealth as candidate for the
'Supreme bench! ! Ail we have to say is, that
every 'consistent politician, on either side, as
well every.commerdal and business man in
the State, ought to vote against him. i - -

Judge Jekisuppid the Operfttion
of $22,000.
Having promised last week to explain neer
tat transaction involving the nice little ,snm
of $22,000, out of which coinmunity was de
frauded through the instrumentality of lion.
Wm. Jessup, we proceed to do so for the ben
efit of the Judge and "the edification of the
People."'
In the Bank Report by *Messrs. 'Wl:l'olnd
Buckalew, pige 28, we , find the wholesale can
cellation of those Stock notes drawn up in
the lona of "Dr." anti "Cr.," yeti , ' business
like ; honest and fair as a hook accounfi. the
whole amounting to : $85334.4 63. /leavens
what a show of Bank Stock ! 4 Wm.' Jessup
Co." were real /3inkers,--" money chang
ets" they used to be called in Scripture times!
Under date of February 21,1845 (to the coil
trary of the Register's declarations that the
Judge had nothiag to do wjth it after 1838;
when he got above Banking and went on ,to
the Bench) we find thefollowin,g to the charge
of the Stock Company, alias "Wm. Jessup&
Co."—" eleven sundry notes-822,000." • •
• In the same transaction, the same date,
"Wm.. Jessup '& stand credited to the i
full amount of their Stock' indebtedness, vial;
885,244 63, by which it appeari that The :te r
count was there cloSed and the Stock Compa:
ny breathed its last,-having lived to sec the
crowning glory of its achievements,l it expired
with the breath that muttered—"the unsancti
fied deed is tione, , noW let uadepartinrace!"
Now for what were those notes given; and
to, what PurPese were,they"4terWer*trlPPre .
'prided ! That is easily answered, for by ref
item to the "little Book" we find that" elev
en sundry s notes" were green, of-82002 each,
one by each member of the Stock 'Company;
making the sum total of. $22,000, on:. which
was received from Allen & Paxoit abont'sls,
000:- The notes then were given virtually,
for Storkr-Ailen dr. Peron
_loaned th 4 Com
pany the funds to purehaseit, on:which they
started the Bank. Thee notes were indirid-.
nal transactions as hiving reference 1o" thel
Bank, and a Matter about which the Bank had
gothin . g•to do and could not noot be balm:

able. ' ; • ' •
Ili this conitectionye will notice a plea put
in by the Bank men; and that is, that the Bank
was solvent when it susiended in '43. Judge
Jessup states that in his testimony before the
Commissioners of InvestigatioN, or to that of
feet; and . we,wish know' why they let peer
and innocent bill-holders sell their money - .at
from 25 to 50 per cent? Why Aid not the
Bank take. or offer to take the notes otidepos
it or some _other way till the assets could, be
made available with which to redeem the cir

That Amendinent Natter.
Our readera repollei t that we exposed,
two weeks ago, the bold game that Hon. Wm.
Jessup sought to, play off by destroying the
votes. for the Amendment to the Constitutien;
providing for the' election'of Judges, last fall.
The organ of the' Judge List week very, wisely
does, not deny it, but seeks to excuse the mat
ter by /laying that Judge Campbell, Black and
Gibson were also opposed to the Amendment
Asto the two gentlemen :first named we are
fully prepared to pronounce the Editor's as.
sertion an absolute falsification,. having, no
shadotv of truth in it. We probably are full
as well acquainted with Judge Campbell and
his political opinions as any person in-this
county. , We have had his acqimintanee per
soaaily some time, and- his' correspondence
constantly still tenger, and we are full as well
Prepared to speak
s of him and :
...his- political
clots as Editor of the Register is, who,
froth the time of Mr. 'Campbell's nomination
till recently has been engaged in a constant
tirade . of abuse upon him, because; his father
'emigrated - from Ireland shout the time of the
Revolutionary war, and belonged to the Cath
idle Church.. As for Judge Gibson, he was
nominated on accdunt of his great legal learn
ing and eXperienee, being rather no - politician
'at all. Indeed, the Whigs have altiayit
ed him and during the sitting of the Democrat
ic Convettion at Harrisburg, at which' Judge
Gibson ivas,nominated,the Harrisburg Amer.
lean, Gov,Johnsten'it organ, had his name at
its head as acitididata for the Whigs,no doubt
intending to,deter the Democrats from nomi
nating him.• ' • -
But even admitting*that every man on the
Democratic Ticket was opposed tit the Ainend.

Jesup to"defeat it. A : man - may honestlyhionestly op.

The ,Bank Failarea
BY reference to another part of this paper
it will be seen that several Banks havei tailed
lately, and as a consequence community have
to suffer deeply. There' was considerable of
the . money afloat in 'this county„ though we
are fortunately removed so far from the im
mediate "disaster" this time, that the failures
are not so *heavily felt; nevertheless, we are
near enough for all practical purposes. •
We hope that the effect will be to awaken
our people, and to keep thee] awake, to_the
manifold evils of Banking as carried on gener
ally at the present day. The whole system is
one of downright fraud And high-handed out
rage. On the tuna of people, who are honest
and Innocent Of either' wrong in, purpose or
action, fill& the sweeping blow, robbing them
of their hardearned pessessions and leaving
them remediless, to bear as best they can tffe
infliction, of these great wrings. Public opin
ion too ofteikwinks at the guilty authors and
throws around them a sort of heroic valor,rath
or than place them in the category of criminals
where they properly belong. The than who
makes himself an outlaw-expecting to receive
the penaltyattached to his crime if he, be over
taken in it, is really ;deserving of more respect
than'he who impoies upon community under
the guise of a Bank Charter, by cunning ,Cira ,
sions of laiv, pockets thousands at e single
deal. The' highwaynaart boldly danands the
purse, giving his victim an Opportunity for
self defence; but the Banker, less: bold but
moved by the same unsanctifled pgriiPststa4Ps
behind his counter, plots the outrage, evades
the law to consummate it and goes unwhipt of
justice. ,After, his nefarious: and cowardly
work is acComplished, then ho retires on the
dignity of affluence, deaf to the wail of woo he
has drawn forth from the hearts of thousands,
spends his days in luxury and in in truth a

ap
proaches you fast, and, as it is not ono of the
tirdinary kind, in which nothing is involved be
yond a few County officers; but on the con
trary, ono which, while,jt embraces,-as usual,
all our State officers,! Governor &c., provides
for a yet more important • affair than all, the
Judiciary. It may not ,be amiss to, remind
you of the duty which as firm, consistent, and
.
always true . Democrats, you'now owe to your
selves and yoer adopthd Country.
As for the ticket set forth by the. Democrat-'
is party, I must presume you are already too
conversant with it: ,the gentlemen comprising
it are too well,, and : too Widely :known, both
privately and piditically,to need any further
explanation now, or IA make it, at all, necessa
ry for me to enter into any detail of their re
spective - qualifications; and their, unquestiona
ble right to your individual support. They
are all men of old standing, always firmly and
truly attached'and devoted to the Democratic
party; that party which has always guarded
and never lost sight' of your political welfare,
your civil and, religious freedom—in a Word=
your rights as .Citizens; always upholding and;
maintaining as they, have ever - seccessfully'
done, that a residenee of 21 years in tills conn.'
try was,not necessary to be imposed on us,
ere we would be admitted to the rights of Cit.
zens; and ever and anon breaking down every
Cabal -that was raised, and trampling under
foot every diabolical attempt of the kind 'made
by our federal opponents. They' are men of
our own party—mea of our own, choosing- 7
men whom wilare not afraid to, trnst, having
tried and proved them so often; and as such
let us, like men, come forward to the ballot
box and testify our full appreciation of their
just merits, by elevating them to their respec
tive stations to which we know they' are So
fitly entitled.
Just look at the JudiCiary portion of Our
•
ticket, and see who are the gentleinen that
compose IL 'Why, perhaps they are the - most
learned men,the ahlestiawyers,tho best Jur
ists, that probably any State in the Union
could produce, and with all this are, ,to• boot.
just, honest and uptight men, who you may
l eope,nd upon itwiil always do justice irrespec
, tive of party clique-or any other foul eonsid
erations ; and will not at least, be led away
from their duty, to gratify the caprice or pleas
ure, of rich, powerful'. earporationa-:no--there
'is no danger that any such thing oh their part
will take place. They are net men who will
deliberately sit on the 'Bench and deliver a de
eision composed the night before 'through the
aid of a would be Senator, from a neighboring
State, counsel for the Corporation, directly at
variance - with the.very spirit., meaning, and
words of the Statute, or Act of Assembly;
and in favor of the Corporation,- because, for
sooth, the plaintiff in-the case was an Irishman
and more too a Roman Catholic! They are
men of probity-and lriteg.ity, and persons at
whose bands every litigated and contested
matter will receive that Justice to which it
will be celled. They are men in whose be-,
soms no bigotry of any kind exists, by reason
of the original clime or creed of 'any person.
And proof of 'this is manifested on , the very
face of-the ticket itself, by Judge. Campbell's
name being thereof', who notwithstanding
literary and legal •n'equirements, and, his quali
fications to every respect being unquestiona
ble, is yet the son of in Irishman ; hat that
circumstance engenders no feeling in the
minds of the- Democratic party; against him.
