We have: not had. time to examine the bill elosely end do not therefore pronoune opinion of its merits. Will Wilmot leave the Bench' This is a common inquiry hereabouts, and 1 , One not Vet satisfactorily answered. True, • his parasites, immediately after his . nomina tion for Governor, boldly. pioclaimed that he ; 'would resign.' the judgeship. and take the I stunt! ; and. they 'have admitted that it I would be grossly improper for him to cling ,to a judicial offive, while making violent ex ertions to place himself in the executive chair of the commonwealth. - But he has not to our knowledge, publicly intimated what course be will pursue; and we are therefore left to conclude what bisection will be, froth what we know of the man and Lis towering ambition. - That the matter has been ptivate ly, but thoroughly* canvassed by him and those in his confidence is highly probable; acid it is re.asonaMe to infer that they ,have ' already determined Whether this demagogue clothed with judicial _ power, shall outrage 1 public sentiment Ili remaining on the Ben -13 .. 41.nr-ifig the excitine political contest that is now approaching, or respect that sentiment and resign. One of ,the projects they have had in view, is something like this : To have : Wihnot re=ign the judgeship, but not early enough to admit of au election to fill the va; Tangy thus Occaroned, the present year; in which case the _Governor would appoint.— Then, if defeated, they might 're-elect him . Judge a Tear from the -coming Fall. They fancy, and boast that they are sufficiently numerous in this district to execute any dis honorable and infamous scheme they may choose to plan ; that they can and will pro-1 ride for this man WilmoE"tgence their read iness to adopt the base'poley above indica- 1 ted, cannot be doubted, providcd . their pro fessions of strength are the index of their-real sentiments'. But they must . have salacity enough to see that this path is tortuous and beset with difficulties ; fo: if, the.' appointee should-happen to be a man' of influence and possessed of some ambition, he might be au daCious enough to contest Wilmot's claim to :le-election,mui thus breed a quarrel in the family. Upon : the whole then, we are of the opinion that the velem' of this judicial dis ttict, will have presented to them the loath- . some . spectacle, of a hungry demagogue, clinging tenaciously to the ermine he soils, while struggling vigorously to clothe himself. with executive power. -Those who are thor oughly acquainted with Wilmot's- past ca reer ;'lliti readiness to break solemn pledges, for his own aggrandizement," end, who have noted 'die selfishness which has ever charac terized his political movements, will look up on this picture with disgust, but with no feel • ing ofsuiprise. - A professional office seeker, :he seems to think himself peculiarly fitted to serve' the public; and when hisdeniands for -place.. bere.been treated - contemptuously, he has not hesitated to sink his -manhood in the 1 begge . r, and piteously plead 'for the suste- _,:, nance l 'and energy te:ohtain by his profession.

Every enemy of democracy in this locality. -voted for Fillmore electors as well as fur. Fretnont electors. A complete fusion of our political foes was effected. Opposition to democratic rule•was their bumbof union. We resisted this combination and declared our hostility to both its proscriptive and sectional features. Now, because . we quote fiom a straight-out . Fillmore organ, able and convincing articles :against sectionalism, a paper which suppor ted Fillmore eleetor, has the impudence - •to accuse us of fraternizing with the Fillthere party. The brazen impudence of the char- , e, - is only parallelled by the wicked falsehood it insinuates. Why,. if the Independent Re . publican should accidentally g7ve -utterance to a political truth, we w , uld unhesitatingly - copy it into our columns, without expecting to be branded as the eiders and abettors of sec- . tionelism.. So when the Daily News ;.)r- Ex press,.publidies sound, constitutional argu ments on any national question, we shall, - if we see fit, give our readers the benefit of them, without stopping to inquire whether by so doing, we siriject ourselves t'a the slang of a black republican editor, who has vainly essayed to secure the influence of those jour nals for his mongrel party. Now let us . see what position this Editor, whet is alarmed lest.we should become prescriptionists, occu pies towards the foreign-born and catholic citizens of the country. Under. the flaming declaration " Freedom National;; Slavery Sectional," he hoists the name .of David` Wilmot for Governor. The convention which ' nominated this 'unrivalled deniagogue for that station deliberately resolved against`the catholic arid man of foreign birth. .True, its declarations op this subject are verrdeli cately worded, but the ungenerous and in tolerant spirit which dictated and pervades them is spfliciently-manifest. -In Harrisburg At few day's ago, an assemblage of Wilmet's friends immunced that they would support no man for office who was not pledged to an amendment of the naturalization laws-; and that they considered Wilutot a reliable rep resentative of American doetriner Now, here ere have the singular.spectaele of an Ed ter censuring us for having published an ex tract from a Know Nothing paper : and at the same time supporting . for the office of Governor, .1 man Who, in the Southern and middle counties of the State, -is -recommen ded by his friends-as a true and tried tuiro, cafe of Knoi Nothing prineipleL Can any thing be-more' allot& and audacious?
